..For ischaemic stroke (4281 cases), lower risks were observed with higher consumption of fruit and vegetables combined (HR; 95% CI per 200 g/day higher intake, 0.87; 0.82–0.93, P-trend < 0.001), dietary fibre (per 10 g/day, 0.77; 0.69–0.86, P-trend < 0.001), milk (per 200 g/day, 0.95; 0.91–0.99, P-trend = 0.02), yogurt (per 100 g/day, 0.91; 0.85–0.97, P-trend = 0.004), and cheese (per 30 g/day, 0.88; 0.81–0.97, P-trend = 0.008), while higher… Continue reading The associations of major #foods and fibre with risks of ischaemic and haemorrhagic #stroke: a prospective study of 418 329 participants in the EPIC cohort across nine European countries
#Aspirin and #fracture risk: a systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis of observational studies
This review provides insights into the potential for aspirin to preserve bone mineral density (BMD) and reduce fracture risk, building knowledge of the risk-benefit profile of aspirin. ..Aspirin use was associated with a 17% lower odds for any fracture (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.99; I2=71%; six studies; n=511 390). Aspirin was associated with a higher… Continue reading #Aspirin and #fracture risk: a systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis of observational studies

Age at #period cessation and trajectories of #cardiovascular risk factors across mid and later life
To examine the association between age at period cessation and trajectories of anthropometry, blood pressure, lipids and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from midlife to age 69 years.. ..We found no evidence that age at period cessation was associated with trajectories of log triglyceride, LDL-C and HDL-C from 53 to 69 years and trajectories of SBP or… Continue reading Age at #period cessation and trajectories of #cardiovascular risk factors across mid and later life
#Education, Race/Ethnicity, and Causes of Premature #Mortality Among Middle-Aged Adults in 4 US Urban Communities: Results From CARDIA, 1985–2017
..Our primary outcome was years of potential life lost (YPLL). Results. The age-adjusted mortality rate per 1000 persons was 45.17 among Black men, 25.20 among White men, 17.63 among Black women, and 10.10 among White women. Homicide and AIDS were associated with the most YPLL, but cancer and cardiovascular disease were the most common causes… Continue reading #Education, Race/Ethnicity, and Causes of Premature #Mortality Among Middle-Aged Adults in 4 US Urban Communities: Results From CARDIA, 1985–2017
Association of Dual Decline in Memory and #Gait Speed With Risk for #Dementia Among Adults Older Than 60 Years
Dual decline in both memory and gait speed may characterize a group of older individuals at high risk for future dementia.. ..Participants were 60 years or older, had an initial gait speed of more than 0.6 m/s (ie, free of overt dismobility), with repeated measures of memory and gait speed before dementia diagnosis during a… Continue reading Association of Dual Decline in Memory and #Gait Speed With Risk for #Dementia Among Adults Older Than 60 Years
The association between actor/partner #optimism and #cognitive functioning among older couples
Higher optimism has been linked with health, well‐being, and cognitive functioning. Spouses also play an important role on people's health, especially in older adulthood.. ..Optimism was assessed at baseline (t1) and cognition was measured every two years with up to five repeated assessments of cognition data over the 8‐year follow‐up period (t1; t2; t3; t4;… Continue reading The association between actor/partner #optimism and #cognitive functioning among older couples
Consecutive Nursing #Shifts and the Risk of #Hypoglycemia in Critically Ill Patients Who Are Receiving Intravenous Insulin: A Multicentre Study
STUDY OBJECTIVES:Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses commonly work multiple consecutive 12-hr shifts that leave little time for sleep between work shifts. Working multiple consecutive shifts could compromise vigilance and patient care, especially with respect to managing high risk medications such as insulin infusions.. We identified patients who had hypoglycemia (glucose <=3.5mmol/l, 63 mg/dl) between December… Continue reading Consecutive Nursing #Shifts and the Risk of #Hypoglycemia in Critically Ill Patients Who Are Receiving Intravenous Insulin: A Multicentre Study
Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk of Cancer in Patients With #Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
..There was an increased risk of several cancers, including keratinocyte cancer (RR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.73-3.01), lymphomas (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.37-1.78), lung cancer (RR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.13-1.40), and bladder cancer (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19). No increased risk of cancer for patients with psoriasis treated with biologic agents was found (RR, 0.97; 95%… Continue reading Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk of Cancer in Patients With #Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
