    Abstract Hypertension, a prevalent component of metabolic syndrome (MetS), is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Psychosis is a feature in the schizophrenia spectrum. Meta-analysis suggests that the prevalence of hypertension in schizophrenia and related disorders is 39%. This may be explained by a unidirectional association between hypertension and psychosis, in that psychosis can be a causative factor of hypertension via antipsychotic medication, inflammation and irregular autonomic nervous system activity through multiple mechanisms. Obesity is a side effect of antipsychotic medication and is a risk factor for hypertension. Obesity leads to raised blood pressure, atherosclerosis, increased triglyceride concentration and decreased high-density lipoprotein concentration. Inflammation accompanies hypertension and obesity. In recent years, the role of inflammation in the onset of psychosis has been increasingly recognised. It underlies the immune dysregulation observed in both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Interleukin-6, a marker and driver of inflammation, is related to obesity and plays a role in the pathogenesis of MetS and hypertension. The lack of preventive care of hypertension and other MetS risk factors for patients on antipsychotic medication is reflected in the high incidence of CVD in this population. It is important to detect and treat MetS and hypertension in patients with psychosis in order to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population.

    Abstract In November 2022, the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension in China were updated; the definition of hypertension and the target of treatment was changed from 140/90 mm Hg to 130/80 mm Hg. This was prompted by the results of the Strategy of Blood Pressure Intervention in the Elderly Hypertensive Patients (STEP) study, a large multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in China. STEP echoed the results of the American Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), and confirmed that intense lowering of blood pressure is on the whole beneficial. This confirmation is important for the Chinese population, in which strokes outnumber myocardial infarctions. It is also reassuring to know that treating adults aged 60 years or older to achieve a systolic blood pressure of <130 mm Hg is safe, while reducing cardiovascular events, stroke and all-cause mortality. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to delineate the risks and benefits in subgroups, such as the elderly with diabetes or a history of stroke.

    Abstract Introduction: Poor dental health is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, the relationship between CVD and denture use is currently unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether denture use is associated with CVD among American adults.
    Methods: 10,246 non-pregnant subjects aged 30-59 years from five cycles (2009-2018) of the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in this study. Participants who were observed by a dental examiner wearing denture/partial denture/plates were defined as denture users. CVD was defined as self-reported coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and congestive heart failure. The association between denture use and CVD was analyzed using logistic regression with adjustment for potential cofounders.
    Results: 4.4% (95% CI, 3.9-5.0) participants had CVD, and 3.5% (95% CI, 2.8-4.5) participants were denture users. Denture use was associated with CVD [OR = 4.26, 95% CI (2.90-6.28),
    Conclusion: In this nationally representative survey, denture use was associated with CVD. Denture use may be an unconventional risk factor for assessing CVD risks, especially in women. Future studies are required to investigate whether CVD and denture use is causally related.
