Total vaginal length < 7.5 cm (TVL, OR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.7, P = 0.007), improvement in Urinary Impact Questionnaire-7 scores < 50% at 3 months (OR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.1-4.2, P = 0.025), and incapability of self-care (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 1.3-5.1, P = 0.008) were potential discontinuation risk factors. Three-quarters of patients with symptomatic POP had successful pessary treatment at 5-year follow-up. TVL < 7.5 cm, poor urinary symptom relief at 3 months, and incapability of self-care were potential discontinuation risk factors. Three-quarters of patients with symptomatic POP had successful pessary treatment at 5-year follow-up. TVL  less then  7.5 cm, poor urinary symptom relief at 3 months, and incapability of self-care were potential discontinuation risk factors. To evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and coronary artery calcification according to different sex and menopausal status. This cross-sectional study included 2,704 adults from the Jidong community (Tangshan, China) recruited from July 2013 to August 2014. Adults aged ≥40 years with no cardiovascular disease and with coronary artery calcification score data were included. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the 2005 International Diabetes Federation standard. Coronary artery calcification score was determined using the Agatston method. The associations between metabolic syndrome and coronary artery calcification prevalence were evaluated using logistic regression. In the multivariable regression analysis, metabolic syndrome was associated with coronary artery calcification (odds ratio 1.34, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.71, P = 0.021). When stratified by sex, metabolic syndrome was positively associated with coronary artery calcification prevalence in female participants (odds ratio 2.79, 95% confidence interval 1.96-3.96, P < 0.001), whereas no association was observed in male participants. Furthermore,
