AbstractOrganic food consumption has risen in many countries during the past decades, but individual behaviors leading to these choices remain unclear.. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between cognitive restraint, weight loss diet history and organic food intake, in French adults. This cross-sectional analysis included 21,516 participants from the NutriNet-Santé cohort (26.4% male, mean age 55.3 years; SD = 13.8). Cognitive restraint was evaluated by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and practice of weight-loss diet in the past years was assessed by an ad hoc questionnaire. Organic food intake of 17 food groups was assessed by the Organic-Food Frequency Questionnaire. Adjusted means of proportions of organic food intakes out of total food intakes were compared across quartiles of the cognitive restraint score and weight loss diet history. Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Women with higher levels of cognitive restraint had in average a lower contribution of organic foods in their diet (26.5% in Q4 vs. 30.9% in Q1; p < 0.0001). In addition, women with a history of weight loss diet had in average a lower contribution of organic foods in their diet (27.1% in current/past vs. 28.5% in never dieters; p = 0.0012). Associations were observed in men for specific food groups. Overall, individuals, and in particular women, with higher cognitive restraint scores or with a history of weight loss diet consumed less organic food. Results suggest that it can be too complex to follow both weight control and organic food choice strategies at the same time.

Organic food consumption has risen in many countries during the past decades, but individual motives leading to these choices remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between cognitive restraint (CR), history of dieting and organic food intake. This cross-sectional analysis included 20,085 organic food consumers from the NutriNet-Santé cohort. CR (range score 1–4) was evaluated by the Three-Factor-Eating-Questionnaire and practice of dieting (never vs. past/current) was assessed by an ad hoc questionnaire. Frequencies of organic food intake overall and in 16 food groups were assessed by the Organic Food Frequency Questionnaire. Linear regression and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to investigate the association between CR score, history of dieting and contribution of organic food intake to the total food intake. A lower overall contribution of organic options in the diet was observed in women with higher levels of CR (β = −3.61%, 95% CI: −4.32; −2.91 for 1 point of CR, p < 0.001) and with a history of dieting (31.1 ± 0.4% in past/current vs. 32.6 ± 0.3% in never dieters; p = 0.001). Consistent associations were observed in men with a history of dieting (26.4 ± 0.8% in past/current vs. 28.7 ± 0.4% in never dieters; p = 0.012). Overall, individuals—in particular women—with higher CR scores or with a history of dieting selected fewer organic food options. Our findings illustrate the complexity of potentially concurrent motives to food choices, in a context of increasing interest in organic food consumption.

AbstractThe association between bullous pemphigoid (BP) and melanoma is yet to be investigated. We aimed to assess assess the bidirectional association between BP and melanoma and to delineate the epidemiological features of patients with both diagnoses. A population-based cohort study was performed comparing BP patients (n = 3924) with age-, sex- and ethnicity-matched control subjects (n = 19,280) with regard to incident cases of melanoma. A case–control design was additionally adopted to estimate the risk of BP in individuals with a preexisting diagnosis of melanoma. The prevalence of preexisting melanoma was higher in patients with BP than in control subjects (1.5% vs. 1.0%, respectively; P = 0.004). A history of melanoma confers a 50% increase in the risk of subsequent BP (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.14–2.06). This risk was higher among males (OR 1.66; 95% CI 1.09–2.54) and individuals older than 80 years (OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.11–2.38), and persisted after adjustment for multiple putative confounders including PD-1/PDL-1 antagonists (adjusted OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.14–2.06). Conversely, the risk of melanoma among patients with BP was slightly elevated, but did not reach the level of statistical significance (adjusted HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.73–1.74). Patients with a dual diagnosis of BP and melanoma were older at the onset of BP and had lower body mass index. A history of melanoma is associated with a 50% increase in the incidence of subsequent BP. Physicians managing patients with both conditions should be aware of this association. Further research is warranted to reveal the underlying mechanism of these findings.

Introduction: SSRIs, the most commonly prescribed antidepressants (AD) in the US, are linked to an increased intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk possibly related to impaired platelet function. In the Florida Stroke Registry (FSR), we studied the proportion of cases presenting with ICH amongst AD users and the rate of SSRI prescription amongst stroke patients discharged on AD. Methods: From Jan 2010 to Dec 2019 we included 127,915 cases from FSR in whom information on AD use was available. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate ICH proportions amongst AD and non-AD users and rates of prescribed SSRIs at discharge. Results: The rate of ICH amongst prior AD users (n=17,009, median age 74, IQR=19) and non-AD users (n=110,906, median age 72, IQR=21) were 11% and 14% respectively. Prior AD users were more likely to be female (17% vs. 10% male), non-Hispanic White (16% vs. 8% non-Hispanic Black vs. 12% Florida Hispanic vs. 6% Puerto Rican Hispanic), have hypertension (HTN) (14.% vs. 10%), diabetes mellitus (DM) (16% vs.12%), use oral anticoagulants (OAC) (17 % vs. 13%), antiplatelets (AP; 17% vs. 11%), and statins (17% vs. 10%) prior to hospital presentation. In multivariable analysis adjusting for age, race, prior history of HTN, DM, prior OAC, AP and statin use, AD users just as likely to present with spontaneous ICH as compared to non-AD users (OR=0.92, 95% CI 0.85, 1.01). A total of 3.4% of all ICH patients and 9% of those in whom AD information was available were discharged home on an AD (74 % SSRI, 24% other AD). Conclusion: In this large population-based study, we did not find an association between prior AD use and an increased rate of ICH. Importantly AD (mostly SSRIs) are commonly prescribed to patients with ICH in routine clinical practice. The association between types, duration, and safety of antidepressant use in ICH patients deserves further studies.
