1/ Alright, let's chat the #NHANES (IV)
As usual, I'll give my caveats this is back-of-the-envelope on data I wrangled via CDC on this expansive dataset -- and it's associational, ofc (observational)
So what are the lipids like for those who live to 100yr in NHANES?

2/ Remember, these aren't the lipid levels taken *at* age 100+, it's what their levels where at the time of examination 15-20 years prior.
This is very relevant when considering reverse causality given this extreme gap in time for all who were reaching centenarian status.

3/ First up -- #LDL #Cholesterol.
Yes, 73% of you correctly guessed 130mg/dL is the mean average for these 32 individuals (lipids taken age 85 or earlier).
LDL mean average: 130 mg/dL

1a) Welcome to one of our favorite events on the @academiccme #accredited #tweetorial feeds: a takeover of our programming from @GoggleDocs! The focus of this tweetorial is data from #ADA2022 on #SGLT2i beyond cardiac disease. Our expert author is @GoggleDocs' @drpatrickholmes.
1b) Check out our other #ADA2022 recap #tweetorial by new @GoggleDocs family member @Ines_VFonseca who focused on the cardiac data presented: ckd-ce.com/dkd13_ada22a/

People are living in crisis from hunger 🚨 @USDA est that 30 mil in USA (includ 12 mil children) are experiencing food insecurity.
Many Americans are just a job loss, missed paycheck, or 🏥 medical emergency away from experiencing hunger.

Food insecurity (FI) is lack of *consistent & socially acceptable* access to enough safe food for an active, healthy life. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated FI for so many.

Why should FI matter to #NephTwitter? It’s a social determinant of health w/ *major* implications 👉 poorer overall levels of health, chronic med conditions, & lower levels of psychosocial/physical functioning.

Our next paper: Abnormal #thyroid function is common in #takotsubo syndrome and depends on two distinct mechanisms: results of a multicentre observational study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
In this study, we compared patients with #takotsubo syndrome (#TTS) with age- and sex-matched normal subjects from the #NHANES collective and with patients affected by acute coronary syndrome (#ACS) from the AQUA FONTIS study (@StudyAqua). Main outcome measure was serum #FT4.
With artificial intelligence / machine learning we identified two clusters of #thyroid function in #TTS and three clusters in the whole population. #AI #ML pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33179374/
Tweetorial on our new paper, part 1: #Thyrotropin (#TSH) concentration is elevated in post-traumatic stress disorder (#PTSD), reflecting an elevated #setpoint of #pituitary-#thyroid feedback control. doi.org/10.3389/fendo.…
2 | TSH correlates to #allostatic load, measured by #SIQALS 2 score. Although #TSH rises, #FT4 and #FT3 concentration don't go down. Therefore, TSH doesn't reflect #hypothyroidism, but an increased setpoint due to type 2 #allostasis. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
3 | #Jostel's TSH index (#JTI) correlates to the #SIQALS 2 score for type 2 #allostatic_load in a large dataset of the #NHANES collective. This supports an elevated reference input (set point) of #thyroid #homeostasis in chronic #stress. doi.org/10.3389/fendo.…
Sorry @SecretaryPerry our hormones are our molecular ambassadors of freedom. “Natural” gas molecules are synthetic chemical terrorists, wreaking havoc and disease and disability. This #tweetorial explains why. #SickerFatterPoorer 1/
The natural gas revolution in the US has driven down oil prices and produced a boon in the supply of ethane, a two carbon molecule that is the feedstock for all sorts of plastics. No, it’s not #ethan (though it’s pronounced that way in German) - got your attention though!
Cracking ethane removes two hydrogen atoms and makes ethylene, the building block for polyethylene plastics. Look at the bottom of a plastic water bottle these days, & it’s typically got a 1 in the recycling triangle, which is used to signal it is a polyethylene water bottle. 3/
