ed people with HIV infection. This suggests a complex role of lipids in the link between ART and diabetes in HIV infection. Neuromusculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) are the leading cause of medical encounters, lost or limited duty days, medical evacuations, and disability in the U.S. Army. In the U.S. Army, objective MSKI incidence rate metrics can be determined through medical encounter data (M2SKIs) with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9 and ICD 10 codes or through documented limited duty profiles (LDPs) documenting time-loss MSKI (TLMSKI). The purpose of the current study was to characterize the population incidence of TLMSKIs among U.S. Army soldiers. This study was approved by the Medical Research and Development Command's Institutional Review Board. This was a retrospective population-level study. The U.S. Army's eProfile system was utilized to characterize all LDPs issued during 2017-2018 and to describe the body regions injured and activities associated with these TLMSKIs. The incidence rate of TLMSKIs was found to be 44 and 40 TLMSKI/100 soldier-years for 2017 and 2018, respectively, which is lower than ptive and scaleable strategies to maximize performance without severely reducing combat effectiveness because of training TLMSKIs. This descriptive study is the first to present the U.S. ATM inhibitor Army population rates for MSKIs that result in LDPs, representing key time losses when soldiers cannot participate in their military occupational and physical training tasks. This study utilizes the LDP system to calculate limited duty days instead of attempting to estimate this information from other means. The eProfile system is limited in that it combines body regions such as ankle/foot and does not allow isolation of ankle or foot independently. It is recommended that research and training programs target the identification, development, and validation of effective and scaleable strategies to maximize performance without severely reducing combat effectiveness because of training TLMSKIs. Metabolic abnormalities have been associated with long-term cardiac mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for metabolic abnormalities in general populations, but association between OSA and metabolic abnormalities in HCM is still undefined. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between OSA and metabolic dysfunction in a large series of patients with HCM. A total of 587 patients with HCM who underwent sleep evaluations at Fuwai Hospital were included. Data from clinical characteristics, polysomnography studies, and metabolic measurements were collected. OSA was present in 344 patients (58.6%). Patients with OSA were older, more often male, and had more clinical comorbidities. Body mass index, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and triglycerides all increased (all P < 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased (P = 0.046) with the severity of OSA. In multivariate analysis, moderate to severe OSA and Log (apnea-hypopnea index + 1) were independently associated with obesity (odds ratio [OR], 2.42; 95% CI, 1.48-3.95 and OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.31-1.95), elevated blood pressure (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.42-3.26 and OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.08-1.60), and elevated triglycerides (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.05-2.78 and OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.02-1.51 but not elevated fasting glucose (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.50-1.52 and OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.82-1.28) or reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.83-2.04 and OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.89-1.27). Severity of OSA is independently associated with some profiles of metabolic abnormalities. Clinical trials are required to determine whether OSA treatment improves metabolic abnormalities and long-term outcomes in patients with HCM. Severity of OSA is independently associated with some profiles of metabolic abnormalities. Clinica
