The Association of the Consumption Time for Different Food with the Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetes Patients

Abstract Background: This study aims to investigate whether food consumed time and distribution at three-meals is associated with long-term survival among the people with diabetes. Methods:This study included 4,699 diabetes patients participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2014. Food consumed across a day including the forenoon, afternoon, evening, were divided into quantiles based on their distribution. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the survival relationship between food intakes time and distribution (with a constant quality and quantity) and mortality. Results:After adjustment for multiple covariates, in the forenoon, compared to the participants with diabetes in the lowest consumption quantile of potato and starchy-vegetable, participants with diabetes in the highest consumption quantile had lower mortality risk of CVD(HRpotato=0.52, 95%CI: 0.38-0.87; HRstarchy-vegetable= 0.51, 95%CI: 0.29-0.90). In the evening, the highest quantile of dark-vegetable intake is related to lower mortality risk of CVD(HR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.45-0.92) and all-cause(HR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.66-0.99), whereas participants in the highest quantile of intakes of refined grain and processed meat are more likely to die due to CVD(HRrefined-grain=1.54, 95%CI:1.10-2.15; HRprocessed-meat=1.83, 95%CI:1.20-2.77) and all-cause(HRrefined-grain=1.29, 95%CI:1.01-1.65; HRprocessed-meat=1.37, 95%CI:1.06-1.75). Iso-calorically switching 0.1 serving refined grain or processed meat consumed in the evening to the forenoon, and 0.1 serving dark vegetable consumed in the afternoon to the evening reduced the risk of CVD mortality.Conclusions:Higher intake of potato, starchy-vegetable in forenoon, dark-vegetable in the evening, and lower intake of refined-grain and processed-meat in the evening was associated with better long-term survival in people with diabetes.

Abstract Introduction The purpose of this study was to explore the association of smoking status and clinically relevant duration of smoking cessation with long-term survival after lung cancer (LC) or colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis. We compared survival of patients with LC and CRC who were never-smokers, long-term, medium-term, and short-term quitters, and current smokers around diagnosis. Methods We studied 5575 patients in Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance (CanCORS), a national, prospective observational cohort study, who provided smoking status information approximately 5 months after LC or CRC diagnosis. Smoking status was categorized as: never-smoker, quit >5 years prior to diagnosis, quit between 1–5 years prior to diagnosis, quit less than 1 year before diagnosis, and current smoker. We examined the relationship between smoking status around diagnosis with mortality using Cox regression models. Results Among participants with LC, never-smokers had lower mortality risk compared with current smokers (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.89). Among participants with CRC, never-smokers had a lower mortality risk as compared to current smokers (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.99). Conclusions Among both LC and CRC patients, current smokers at diagnosis have higher mortality than never-smokers. This effect should be further studied in the context of tumor biology. However, smoking cessation around the time of diagnosis did not affect survival in this sample. Implications The results from our analysis of patients in the CanCORS consortium, a large, geographically diverse cohort, show that both LC and CRC patients who were actively smoking at diagnosis have worse survival as compared to never-smokers. While current smoking is detrimental to survival, cessation upon diagnosis may not mitigate this risk.

Long Term Mortality

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in patients with sepsis. Persistent AKI is, in contrast to transient AKI, associated with reduced long-term survival after sepsis, while the effect of AKI on survival after non-septic infections remains unknown. As prerenal azotaemia is a common cause of transient AKI that might be identified by an increased urea-to-creatinine ratio, we hypothesized that the urea-to-creatinine ratio may predict the course of AKI with relevance to long-term mortality risk. We studied the association between the urea-to-creatinine ratio, AKI and long-term mortality among 665 patients presented with an infection to the ED with known pre-existent renal function. Long-term survival was reduced in patients with persistent AKI. The urea-to-creatinine ratio was not associated with the incidence of either transient or non-recovered AKI. In contrast, stratification according to the urea-to-creatinine-ratio identifies a group of patients with a similar long-term mortality risk as patients with persistent AKI. Non-recovered AKI is strongly associated with all-cause long-term mortality after hospitalization for an infection. The urea-to-creatinine ratio should not be employed to predict prerenal azotaemia, but identifies a group of patients that is at increased risk for long-term mortality after infections, independent of AKI and sepsis.
