In recent years, with the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and obesity, the incidence of pediatric primary hypertension (PH) has increased gradually,...
Dyslipidemia and aging: the non-linear association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and aging acceleration
Accelerated demographic aging poses a pressing challenge to public health systems globally, given its established role as a primary etiological contributor to the pathogenesis of prevalent noncommunicable conditions [1, 2].
