The impact of consuming green tea or coffee on mortality in patients with diabetes is controversial. We prospectively investigated the impact of each beverage and their combination on mortality among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.. ..During the follow-up period, 309 participants died. The consumption of green tea, coffee, and a combination of the beverages… Continue reading Additive effects of green #tea and #coffee on all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 #diabetes mellitus: the Fukuoka Diabetes Registry

#Life Expectancy after #Bariatric Surgery in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study
Obesity shortens life expectancy. Bariatric surgery is known to reduce the long-term relative risk of death, but its effect on life expectancy is unclear.. ..In total, 2007 and 2040 patients were included in the surgery group and the control group, respectively, and 1135 participants were included in the reference cohort. At the time of the… Continue reading #Life Expectancy after #Bariatric Surgery in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study
The #triglyceride- #glucose index is associated with the severity of hepatic #steatosis and the presence of liver #fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study in Chinese adults
The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a reliable predictor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Its association with the severity of hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis in NAFLD is poorly understood. This study evaluated the relationship between these factors in NAFLD. ..The TyG index was significantly correlated with the severity of hepatic steatosis and the presence… Continue reading The #triglyceride- #glucose index is associated with the severity of hepatic #steatosis and the presence of liver #fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study in Chinese adults
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Blood #Pressure and Body #Mass Index in the National Academy of Sciences–National Research Council World War II Veteran Twin Registry
Blood pressure (BP) and obesity phenotypes may covary due to shared genetic or environmental factors or both. Furthermore, it is possible that the heritability of BP differs according to obesity status—a form of G×E interaction. This hypothesis has never been tested in White twins. The present study included 15 924 White male twin pairs aged between… Continue reading Genetic and Environmental Influences on Blood #Pressure and Body #Mass Index in the National Academy of Sciences–National Research Council World War II Veteran Twin Registry
Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of #Malnutrition in Patients With Acute #Coronary Syndrome
Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in a wide range of illnesses. However, its prognostic impact in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not well known.. ..In this study, the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) was applied to 5,062 consecutive patients with ACS.… Continue reading Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of #Malnutrition in Patients With Acute #Coronary Syndrome
Dietary #Fructose Alters the Composition, Localization and Metabolism of Gut #Microbiota in Association with Worsening #Colitis
The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases has increased over the last half century, suggesting a role for dietary factors. Fructose consumption has increased in recent years. Recently, a high fructose diet (HFrD) was shown to enhance DSS-induced colitis in mice. The primary objectives of the current study were to elucidate the mechanism(s) underlying the pro-colitic… Continue reading Dietary #Fructose Alters the Composition, Localization and Metabolism of Gut #Microbiota in Association with Worsening #Colitis
Cognitive Factors Associated with Frequency of #Eating Out and Eating Takeout among Latinas
Higher frequency of eating outside the home can be an unhealthy behavior that may contribute to higher rates of obesity among Latinas, a disproportionately affected group. There is a growing need to understand potentially modifiable factors (eg, dispositional mindfulness, self-efficacy, nutrition knowledge) associated with higher frequency of eating outside the home in this population. This… Continue reading Cognitive Factors Associated with Frequency of #Eating Out and Eating Takeout among Latinas
#ASPIRIN AND THE RISK OF NON‐DIGESTIVE TRACT CANCERS: AN UPDATED META‐ANALYSIS TO 2019
Aspirin has been associated to a reduced risk of colorectal and other selected digestive tract cancers, but the evidence other neoplasms is still controversial. In order to provide an up‐to‐date quantification of the role of aspirin on lung, breast, endometrium, ovary, prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer, we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of all… Continue reading #ASPIRIN AND THE RISK OF NON‐DIGESTIVE TRACT CANCERS: AN UPDATED META‐ANALYSIS TO 2019
Vitamin #D sufficiency, a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D at least 30 ng/mL reduced risk for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with #COVID-19 infection
..Based on CDC criteria, among our study patients, 74% had severe COVID-19 infection and 32.8% were vitamin D sufficient. After adjusting for confounding factors, there was a significant association between vitamin D sufficiency and reduction in clinical severity, inpatient mortality serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and an increase in lymphocyte percentage. Only 9.7% of… Continue reading Vitamin #D sufficiency, a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D at least 30 ng/mL reduced risk for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with #COVID-19 infection
