Erratum to “Ankle brachial index and cognitive function among Hispanics/Latinos: Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.” [Atherosclerosis 271 (April 2018) 61–69]

Abstract Objectives Individual fatty acids (FA) within dietary fat classes [saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA), and trans FA (TFA)] may differentially affect risk of cognitive impairment. This has received little attention by most previous studies of diet and cognitive function, and few studies are available among Hispanic/Latinos. Our objective was to quantify associations of dietary FA (DFA) patterns with cognitive function among Hispanic/Latinos residing in the US. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of participants of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, a diverse cohort recruited from 2008–11 (n = 7842, mean age 55 y, 62% female). Dietary data are from two 24-hr recalls; the National Cancer Institute method was used to estimate usual nutrient intake. Total animal and plant MUFA variables and 26 FA were used to derive DFA patterns by principal components analysis. Global cognitive function was calculated as the average z-score from 3 cognitive tests [Word Fluency (WF), Spanish English Verbal Learning Test (B-SEVLT) sum, and Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS)]. Survey linear regression models, were adjusted for a number of confounders including, but not limited to education, depressive symptoms, ethnicity, study site, physical activity, and total energy. Results DFA patterns were characterized by greater consumption of long-chain SFA, animal MUFA, and TFA (Factor 1); short to medium-chain SFA (Factor 2); very-long-chain PUFA (Factor 3); very-long-chain SFA, plant MUFA and essential PUFA (Factor 4). Each 1-SD increase in only Factor 2 or 4 was associated with a 0.03 ± 0.01 SD or 0.02 ± 0.01 SD higher global cognitive function score, respectively (P < 0.05). Factor 2 was positiviely associated with DSS and B-SEVLT scores (P < 0.05). Factors 1 and 4 were positively associated with DSS scores (P < 0.05). Factor 3 was not significantly associated with any cognitive function measure. Conclusions Our findings suggest that intake of short to medium-chain SFA, and of plant based MUFA, SFA, and PUFA, may be associated with a small benefit on global cognitive function among Hispanic/Latino adults. Null associations were observed with a very-long-chain PUFA pattern, which may be partly due to low fish consumption. Prospective studies conducted in similar and other populations are needed to confirm our results. Funding Sources None.

Abstract Background Engaging in physical activity (PA) has been proved to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. In patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), diminished PA predicts high overall mortality. However, it is unknown to what extent participation in PA is associated with PAD severity. Therefore, the overarching aim of this study was to investigate the association between PAD severity and PA levels using the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) database. Methods This was a cross-sectional cohort study that included 495 participants with PAD and a total of 14,536 participants without PAD from the HCHS/SOL database. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered to assess the time spent weekly in performing moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) during work, leisure time, and transportation. The Ankle–Brachial Index (ABI) was used to measure PAD. PA status was categorized on the basis of MVPA as follows: physically active (MVPA ≥ 150 min) and physically inactive (combined MVPA < 150 min). Eventually, the total sample was then classified as follows: normal ABI and physically active, normal ABI but physically inactive, PAD and physically active, and PAD but physically inactive. Regression models were used to investigate the association between different types of PA and the severity of PAD. Results Of the participants, 235 (47%) were involved in no to insufficient PA, and 260 (53%) engaged in at least 150 min/week of MVPA. The majority of participants (54%) with mild PAD were physically active, and 58% of those with severe PAD were physically inactive. After adjustment for covariates (age, sex, education, smoking status, body mass index, and statins), inactive people with a diagnosis of PAD were more likely to have severe PAD (β = .79, p = .02). In addition, decreases in work-related PA, total metabolic equivalents, and total PA were associated with increased PAD severity. Conclusions It was found that MVPA patterns were associated with PAD severity, and they explained high severity among patients with PAD who were physically inactive. These findings highlight the necessity of interventions in increasing PA in these participants. Future studies are required to identify appropriate exercise regimens or home-based programs to help patients with severe PAD meet the current PA recommendations.
