is a protozoan parasite widespread worldwide, with over 40 million individuals in the United States. It may infect vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, and liver, resulting in chronic infections. The main objective of this study is to investigate the association of infection with the combination of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), or chronic liver disease (CLD). The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2009-2010) data were used, and the association of infection with chronic disease was assessed with biomarkers and indexes using statistical modeling. The percentage of participants with a combination of CLD and CKD was higher among positive participants compared to the negative participants (2.76 vs. 1.26). Furthermore, exposure to may increase the odds of cardiovascular disease, CKD, or CLD, or vice versa.
是一种分布广泛的原生动物寄生虫，在美国有超过 4000 万人感染。它可能感染心脏、肾脏和肝脏等重要器官，导致慢性感染。本研究的主要目的是调查 感染与心血管疾病、慢性肾脏病 (CKD) 或慢性肝病 (CLD) 组合的关联。使用了 2009-2010 年国家健康和营养检查调查 (NHANES) 数据，并使用统计建模方法使用生物标志物和指标评估感染与慢性疾病的关联。与阴性参与者相比，阳性参与者中同时患有 CLD 和 CKD 的比例更高 (2.76% 比 1.26%)。此外，暴露于 可能会增加患心血管疾病、CKD 或 CLD 的几率，反之亦然。
