Abstract Objective To examine the prospective association of total and individual fried food consumption with all cause and cause specific mortality in women in the United States. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Women’s Health Initiative conducted in 40 clinical centers in the US. Participants 106 966 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 at study entry who were enrolled between September 1993 and 1998 in the Women’s Health Initiative and followed until February 2017. Main outcome measures All cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and cancer mortality. Results 31 558 deaths occurred during 1 914 691 person years of follow-up. For total fried food consumption, when comparing at least one serving per day with no consumption, the multivariable adjusted hazard ratio was 1.08 (95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.16) for all cause mortality and 1.08 (0.96 to 1.22) for cardiovascular mortality. When comparing at least one serving per week of fried chicken with no consumption, the hazard ratio was 1.13 (1.07 to 1.19) for all cause mortality and 1.12 (1.02 to 1.23) for cardiovascular mortality. For fried fish/shellfish, the corresponding hazard ratios were 1.07 (1.03 to 1.12) for all cause mortality and 1.13 (1.04 to 1.22) for cardiovascular mortality. Total or individual fried food consumption was not generally associated with cancer mortality. Conclusions Frequent consumption of fried foods, especially fried chicken and fried fish/shellfish, was associated with a higher risk of all cause and cardiovascular mortality in women in the US.

Individual lifestyle factors have been associated with lifestyle diseases and premature mortality by an accumulating body of evidence. The impact of a combination of lifestyle factors on mortality has been investigated in several studies, but few have applied a simple index taking national guidelines into account. The objective of the present prospective cohort study was to investigate the combined impact of adherence to five lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity, waist circumference and diet) on all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality based on international and national health recommendations. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) with 95 % CI. During a median follow-up of 14 years, 3941 men and 2827 women died. Among men, adherence to one additional health recommendation was associated with an adjusted HR of 0·73 (95 % CI 0·71, 0·75) for all-cause mortality, 0·74 (95 % CI 0·71, 0·78) for cancer mortality and 0·70 (95 % CI 0·65, 0·75) for cardiovascular mortality. Among women, the corresponding HR was 0·72 (95 % CI 0·70, 0·75) for all-cause mortality, 0·76 (95 % CI 0·73, 0·80) for cancer mortality and 0·63 (95 % CI 0·57, 0·70) for cardiovascular mortality. In the present study, adherence to merely one additional health recommendation had a protective effect on mortality risk, indicating a huge potential in enhancing healthy lifestyle behaviours of the population.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to explore the association between serum Mg and cardiovascular mortality in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) population. This prospective cohort study included prevalent PD patients from a single centre. The primary outcome of this study was cardiovascular mortality. Serum Mg was assessed at baseline. A total of 402 patients (57 % male; mean age 49·3±14·9 years) were included. After a median of 49·9 months (interquartile range: 25·9–68·3) of follow-up, sixty-two patients (25·4 %) died of CVD. After adjustment for conventional confounders in multivariate Cox regression models, being in the lower quartile for serum Mg level was independently associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality, with hazards ratios of 2·28 (95 % CI 1·04, 5·01), 1·41 (95 % CI 0·63, 3·16) and 1·62 (95 % CI 0·75, 3·51) for the lowest, second and third quartiles, respectively. A similar trend was observed when all-cause mortality was used as the study endpoint. Further analysis showed that the relationships between lower serum Mg and higher risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality were present only in the female subgroup, and not among male patients. The test for interaction indicated that the associations between lower serum Mg and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality differed by sex (P=0·008 andP=0·011, respectively). In conclusion, lower serum Mg was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the PD population, especially among female patients.

Aim. To study the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) according to a 14-year prospective cohort study in Siberia.Material and methods. Based on the data from the Russian arm of the HAPIEE project, we assessed all-cause deaths occurred by 2017 in the population cohort examined at baseline in 2003-2005 (n=9273). The baseline examination included the assessment of blood pressure (BP), anthropometry, levels of fasting triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and blood glucose. The fatal cases in the studied cohort were identified from “Medical death certificates” for the period from February 1, 2003 to December 31, 2017, based on data from the Department of Civil Registration of Death Acts. Cardiovascular death was established using the International Classification of Diseases, the 10th revision (ICD-10): I (0-99).Results. The mortality rate in subjects with MS was 16,6% — 751 deaths (25,1% in men and 11,5% in women), and it was 20-30% higher than in those without MS. Cardiovascular mortality in subjects with MS was 12,6% — 572 deaths (20,5% in men and 8,9% in women), and it was nearly 30% higher than in those without MS. Multivariable Cox regression revealed that among the components of MS, the elevated BP level even with BP ≥135/80 mm Hg had the major impact on increasing the risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1,7 (1,4; 2,1) in men; HR=2,2 (1,7; 2,8) in women) and increasing the risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR=2,2 (1,5; 3,0) in men and HR=2,8 (1,8; 4.3) in women). Among men, already 1 component of MS increased the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality by 2,0 or more times; among women, 2-4 components of MS increased the risk of death by 3 times, and 5 components — by 4.Conclusion. In the studied population sample, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality during the 14-year follow-up in individuals with MS was about 25-30% higher compared to those without MS. The risk of cardiovascular and all-cause deaths in subjects with MS is comparable to the risk in case of blood pressure ≥135/80 mm Hg. With an increase in the number of MS components from 1 to 5, the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death increases.

Introduction: Antibiotic exposure is associated with a long-lasting alteration in gut microbiota, and may be related to subsequent major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. No previous prospective cohort study has investigated associations between duration of antibiotic use during adulthood with mortality from major chronic diseases among populations at usual risk. Hypothesis: We investigated whether a longer duration of antibiotic use was associated with elevated risks of all-cause and cause-specific deaths among women. Methods: This study included 37,510 women aged ≥60 y who were initially free of cardiovascular diseases or cancer from the Nurses’ Health Study. The present analysis included women who reported data on antibiotic use on the 2004 questionnaire when the information was first assessed. We calculated hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause mortality, and deaths from cardiovascular disease (ICD-8 [international classification of diseases, eighth revision, ICD-8], codes 390 to 458) and cancer (ICD-8, 140-209) according to total days of antibiotic use per year (none, less than 15 days, 15 days to less than 2 months, or ≥2 months) in late adulthood (age 60 or older). Follow-up time was calculated from the return date of the 2004 questionnaire until the date of death, or end of follow-up (June 30, 2012), whichever occurred first. Results: During 287,474 person-years of follow-up, we documented 2908 deaths from any cause (including 474 cardiovascular deaths and 906 cancer deaths). Longer duration of antibiotic use was significantly associated with higher risk of death from any cause after adjusted for dietary intake, lifestyle factors, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes ( P trend <0.0001), other medication use (such as aspirin, statin, H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors) ( P trend =0.001), and other characteristics ( P trend =0.038). As compared to women who did not use antibiotics, those who used for ≥2 months in late adulthood had significantly increased risks of all-cause mortality (multivariate-adjusted HR 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07, 1.49) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.58; 95% CI, 1.02, 2.46), but not cancer mortality (HR=0.86; 95% CI, 0.63, 1.16). The association between long-term antibiotic use in late adulthood and an elevated risk of all-cause death was more evident among women who also used antibiotics in middle adulthood (during age 40-59) ( P trend =0.002) than among those who did not use during this life stage. Conclusions: Long-term duration of antibiotic exposure especially in late adulthood was associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in women.

ObjectiveThe potential association between thyroid hormones and breast cancer has been investigated in a large number of studies without conclusive results. This study investigated triiodothyronine (T3) levels in relation to breast cancer mortality in a population with no breast cancer patients at baseline. An additional aim was to study T3levels in relation to mortality from other cancers and all-cause mortality.Design and methodsThis was a population-based prospective cohort study including 2185 women in whom T3levels were measured as part of a preventive health project, i.e. before diagnosis in women who later developed breast cancer. Mean follow-up was 24.1 years and record-linkage to The Swedish Cause-of-Death registry identified 471 women who died: 26 out of breast cancer and 182 from other cancers. Mortality was assessed using a Cox's analysis, yielding hazard ratios (HRs), with 95% confidence intervals. Analyses of T3as a continuous variable were repeated for pre- and peri/postmenopausal women separately.ResultsT3levels were positively associated with the risk of breast cancer-specific death in the age-adjusted analysis: HR for T3as a continuous variable was 2.80 (1.26–6.25). However, the crude analysis did not reach statistical significance. Breast cancer mortality was even higher in postmenopausal women: 3.73 (1.69–8.22), but stratified analyses included few events. There were no statistically significant associations between T3levels and deaths from other cancers, age-adjusted HR: 1.09 (0.72–1.65) or all-cause mortality (1.25:0.97–1.60).ConclusionsThis study, the first of its kind on prospectively measured T3levels, indicates that T3levels are positively associated with breast cancer-specific mortality and that this is not related to a general effect on all-cause mortality.
