Interventions

Statins

no changein humans1

1 study

Statins showed no clear effect on glycemic markers in humans (network meta-analysis; statin regimens compared with placebo).
“Analyses of intermediate glycemic markers, including FPG and HbA1c, revealed no significant differences across all statin regimens and placebo.”

Associations

Glycated albumin

upin humans1

1 study

Glycated albumin is associated with glycemic markers in humans (Saudi adults across a wide glycemia range).
“GA values correlated significantly with all glycaemic markers (P<0.001), showing the strongest correlation with HbA1c, and the weakest with 1h-PG.”

Physical activity is linked to lower death risk after menopause

Higher moderate-to-vigorous activity was linked to about 15% lower all-cause mortality, against about 15% higher mortality for sedentary time, in postmenopausal women.Higher moderate-to-vigorous activity was linked to about 15% lower all-cause mortality, against about 15% higher mortality for sedentary time, in postmenopausal women.
