Diet could influence disease development and shape multimorbidity trajectories. Here we examined how four dietary patterns relate to 15-year multimorbidity accumulation in 2,473 community-dwelling older adults from the Swedish SNAC-K cohort. Multimorbidity was operationalized as the total number of chronic conditions and grouped into three organ systems. Higher adherence to the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for… Continue reading #Dietary patterns and accelerated multimorbidity in #older adults
Phenome-wide Analysis of #Diseases in Relation to Objectively Measured #Sleep Traits and Comparison with Subjective Sleep Traits in 88,461 Adults
Background: Sleep traits have been suggested to correlate with various diseases, but most evidence is based on subjective sleep measurement. We investigated the associations of accelerometer-derived objective sleep traits with diseases throughout physiological systems to ascertain whether the disease spectrum related to objective sleep traits differs from that related to subjective sleep traits. Methods: In… Continue reading Phenome-wide Analysis of #Diseases in Relation to Objectively Measured #Sleep Traits and Comparison with Subjective Sleep Traits in 88,461 Adults
#Sucralose consumption ablates #cancer immunotherapy response through #microbiome disruption
Gut microbiota composition is directly associated with response to immunotherapies in cancer. How the diet impacts the gut microbiota and downstream immune responses to cancer remains unclear. Here, we show that consumption of a common non-nutritive sweetener, sucralose, modifies microbiome composition, restricts T cell metabolism and function, and limits immunotherapy response in preclinical models of… Continue reading #Sucralose consumption ablates #cancer immunotherapy response through #microbiome disruption
#Thermal and Perceptual Responses of #Older Adults With #Fan Use in #Heat ExtremesA Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise against fan use above 32 °C (ie, 90 °F) because it can increase body temperature.1 Modeling suggests fans reduce body temperature up to 37 to 39 °C (ie, 99 to 102 °F), depending upon humidity.2 In humid heat, fan use reduced body temperature in young… Continue reading #Thermal and Perceptual Responses of #Older Adults With #Fan Use in #Heat ExtremesA Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Time to Diagnosis in #Dementia: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis
Timely dementia diagnosis is a global priority, reflected in most national and regional policies and plans. Nevertheless, there are currently no robust estimates of the average time to diagnosis (TTD) and factors influencing diagnostic intervals. This article presents the first systematic review of quantitative studies on TTD in dementia and the factors associated with its… Continue reading Time to Diagnosis in #Dementia: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis
Association between ultra-processed #food consumption and #lung #cancer risk: a population-based cohort study
Background The evidence on associations between ultra-processed foods (UPF) and lung cancer risk is limited and inconsistent.Research question Are UPF associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)？Methods Data of participants in this study were collected from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO)… Continue reading Association between ultra-processed #food consumption and #lung #cancer risk: a population-based cohort study
Association Between #COVID-19 #Vaccination and #Neuropsychiatric Conditions
Introduction: This study explores the potential associations between COVID-19 vaccination and neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods: Data were collected from the CDC and FDA. The VAERS database was queried from January 1, 1990, to December 27, 2024, for adverse events (AEs) involving neuropsychiatric complications following COVID-19 vaccination. The timeframe included 420 months for all vaccines except COVID-19… Continue reading Association Between #COVID-19 #Vaccination and #Neuropsychiatric Conditions
Exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in association to later occurrence of type 2 #diabetes and metabolic pathway #dysregulation in a multiethnic US population
Growing evidence suggests that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ( #PFAS ) are linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the effect of PFAS mixtures and underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We examined the associations between exposure to PFAS mixture with later T2D diagnosis and underlying metabolic dysregulations.MethodsWe conducted… Continue reading Exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in association to later occurrence of type 2 #diabetes and metabolic pathway #dysregulation in a multiethnic US population
Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
BackgroundDespite the rapid increase in evidence from the past decade on daily steps and health-related outcomes, existing systematic reviews primarily focused on few outcomes, such as all-cause mortality. This study synthesised the prospective dose-response relationship between daily steps and health outcomes including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, cognitive outcomes, mental health outcomes,… Continue reading Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
