RBC long-chain omega-3 (n–3) fatty acid (FA) percentages (of total fatty acids) are associated with lower risk for total mortality, but it is unknown if a suite of FAs could improve risk prediction. ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to compare a combination of RBC FA levels with standard risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) … Continue reading Using an erythrocyte #fatty acid fingerprint to predict risk of all-cause #mortality: the Framingham Offspring Cohort

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been associated with improved survival among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) from tertiary referral centers. We aimed to determine the potential impact of HCQ use on the risk of mortality among SLE patients in the general population. MethodsWe conducted a nested case–control study within an incident SLE cohort from the entire … Continue reading #Hydroxychloroquine and Mortality Among Patients With Systemic #Lupus Erythematosus in the General Population
Sarcopenia comprises a loss of muscle function and muscle mass. So far, the association between the later and mortality in older adults is inconsistent. A meta-analysis was performed to assess whether muscle mass measured by appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) is associated with higher mortality in older adults. Articles of interest were searched for … Continue reading Low #muscle mass in #older adults and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Sleep difficulties have been implicated in the development and progression of dementia and in all-cause mortality. This study examines the relationship between sleep difficulties, incident dementia and all-cause mortality over 8 years of follow-up among a nationally representative sample of older (≥65 years) adults in the United States. We used data collected from the National … Continue reading #Sleep difficulties, incident #dementia and all-cause mortality among older adults across 8 years: Findings from the National Health and Aging Trends Study
