Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
Tea and coffee are the most consumed beverages worldwide and very often sweetened with sugar. However, the association between the use of sugar in tea or coffee and adverse events is currently unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the association between the addition of sugar to coffee or tea, and the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality… Continue reading Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
Association Between #Triglycerides and Risk of #Dementia in Community-Dwelling #Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
Background and Objectives: It has been suggested that higher triglyceride levels were associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to examine the association of triglycerides with dementia and cognition change in community-dwelling older adults.Methods: This prospective longitudinal study used data from the ASPREE randomized trial of adults aged ≥65 years without dementia or… Continue reading Association Between #Triglycerides and Risk of #Dementia in Community-Dwelling #Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
The #sex gap in #bladder cancer survival — a missing link in bladder #cancer care?
The differences in bladder cancer outcomes between the sexes has again been highlighted. Uncommon among cancers, bladder cancer outcomes are notably worse for women than for men. Furthermore, bladder cancer is three to four times more common among men than among women. Factors that might explain these sex differences include understanding the importance of haematuria… Continue reading The #sex gap in #bladder cancer survival — a missing link in bladder #cancer care?
#Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase dementia risk. However, it is currently unknown whether timing of exposure or age at dementia diagnosis influence the risk.METHODSWe assessed associations between cumulative PPI use and dementia at different ages in a nationwide Danish cohort of 1,983,785 individuals aged 60 to 75 years between 2000 and 2018.RESULTSDuring follow-up, there… Continue reading #Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study

#Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial
Objective Animal studies suggest that prebiotic, plant-derived nutrients could improve homoeostatic and hedonic brain functions through improvements in microbiome–gut–brain communication. However, little is known if these results are applicable to humans. Therefore, we tested the effects of high-dosed prebiotic fibre on reward-related food decision-making in a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over study and assayed potential microbial and… Continue reading #Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial
Blood biomarker profiles and exceptional #longevity: comparison of centenarians and non-centenarians in a 35-year follow-up of the Swedish AMORIS cohort
Comparing biomarker profiles measured at similar ages, but earlier in life, among exceptionally long-lived individuals and their shorter-lived peers can improve our understanding of aging processes. This study aimed to (i) describe and compare biomarker profiles at similar ages between 64 and 99 among individuals eventually becoming centenarians and their shorter-lived peers, (ii) investigate the association… Continue reading Blood biomarker profiles and exceptional #longevity: comparison of centenarians and non-centenarians in a 35-year follow-up of the Swedish AMORIS cohort
