Increased Intake of Both Caffeine and Non-Caffeine Coffee Components Is Associated with Reduced NAFLD Severity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Coffee may protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the roles of the caffeine and non-caffeine components are unclear. Coffee intake by 156 overweight subjects (87% with Type-2-Diabetes, T2D) was assessed via a questionnaire, with 98 subjects (all T2D) also providing a 24 h urine sample for quantification of coffee metabolites by LC–MS/MS. NAFLD… Continue reading Increased Intake of Both Caffeine and Non-Caffeine Coffee Components Is Associated with Reduced NAFLD Severity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Dietary exposure to nitrites and nitrates in association with type 2 diabetes risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study
Nitrites and nitrates occur naturally in water and soil and are commonly ingested from drinking water and dietary sources. They are also used as food additives, mainly in processed meats, to increase shelf life and to avoid bacterial growth. Experimental studies suggested both benefits and harmful effects of nitrites and nitrates exposure on type 2… Continue reading Dietary exposure to nitrites and nitrates in association with type 2 diabetes risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study
The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
We performed this study to investigate the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and male pattern hair loss (MPHL) in young men. We conducted this cross-sectional study from January to April 2022 in mainland China. Young people aged 18–45 years (n = 1951) were recruited from 31 provinces in China. We used a self-reported online survey… Continue reading The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Association of a Mediterranean Diet Pattern With Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Among US Women
The Mediterranean diet pattern is inversely associated with the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, including metabolic diseases and cardiovascular disease, but there are limited data on its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among US women.Objective To evaluate whether concordance to a Mediterranean diet pattern around the time of conception is associated with lower risk… Continue reading Association of a Mediterranean Diet Pattern With Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Among US Women
Middle-age high normal serum sodium as a risk factor for accelerated biological aging, chronic diseases, and premature mortality
It is known that some people age faster than others, some people live into old age disease-free, while others develop age-related chronic diseases. With a rapidly aging population and an emerging chronic diseases epidemic, finding mechanisms and implementing preventive measures that could slow down the aging process has become a new challenge for biomedical research… Continue reading Middle-age high normal serum sodium as a risk factor for accelerated biological aging, chronic diseases, and premature mortality
Micronutrient deficiencies and anaemia associated with body mass index in Australian adults: a cross-sectional study
Aim To estimate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and anaemia, and their association with body mass index (BMI) categories among Australian adults. Method We analysed data from the 2011–2013 Australian Health Survey from 3539 participants aged 18 years and over (without known pregnancy) with measured weight and height, and nutrient biomarkers. To address complex sampling,… Continue reading Micronutrient deficiencies and anaemia associated with body mass index in Australian adults: a cross-sectional study
Non-heavy alcohol use associates with liver fibrosis and ‘nonalcoholic’ steatohepatitis in the Framingham Heart Study
Background and AimsWhile heavy alcohol use consistently associates with liver disease, the effects of non-heavy alcohol consumption are less understood. We aimed to investigate the relationship between non-heavy alcohol use and chronic liver disease.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 2629 current drinkers in the Framingham Heart Study who completed alcohol use questionnaires and transient elastography. We defined… Continue reading Non-heavy alcohol use associates with liver fibrosis and ‘nonalcoholic’ steatohepatitis in the Framingham Heart Study
Associations of serum zinc, copper, and selenium with sleep disorders in the American adults: Data from NHANES 2011–2016
BackgroundEven though various studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between trace metals and sleep, few epidemiological studies have evaluated the relationship between trace metals and sleep disorders in American adults.ObjectiveThis study intended to evaluate the associations of serum zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), Zn/Cu, Zn/Se, and Cu/Se ratios with sleep disorders in… Continue reading Associations of serum zinc, copper, and selenium with sleep disorders in the American adults: Data from NHANES 2011–2016
