.. A positive troponin result (that is, higher than the upper limit of normal) signified a 3.2 higher mortality hazard (95% confidence interval 3.1 to 3.2) over three years. Mortality varied noticeably with age, with a hazard ratio of 10.6 (8.5 to 13.3) in 18-29 year olds and 1.5 (1.4 to 1.6) in those older… Continue reading Association of #troponin level and age with #mortality in 250 000 patients: cohort study across five UK acute care centres

Relationship of #nutritional status, #inflammation, and serum #albumin levels during acute illness: A prospective study
Low serum albumin levels resulting from inflammation-induced capillary leakage or disease-related anorexia during acute illness are associated with poor outcomes. We investigated the relationship of nutritional status and inflammation with low serum albumin levels and 30-day mortality in a large cohort. ..Of 2,465 patients, 1,019 (41%) had low serum albumin levels (<34 g/L), 619 (25.1%)… Continue reading Relationship of #nutritional status, #inflammation, and serum #albumin levels during acute illness: A prospective study
The Predictive Performance of Objective Measures of #physical Activity Derived From Accelerometry Data for 5-Year All-Cause Mortality in #Older Adults: National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2003–2006
Declining physical activity (PA) is a hallmark of aging. Wearable technology provides reliable measures of the frequency, duration, intensity, and timing of PA.. In univariate logistic regression, the total activity count was the best predictor of 5-year mortality (Area under the Curve (AUC) = 0.771) followed by age (AUC = 0.758). Overall, 9 of the… Continue reading The Predictive Performance of Objective Measures of #physical Activity Derived From Accelerometry Data for 5-Year All-Cause Mortality in #Older Adults: National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2003–2006
Is #running associated with a lower risk of all-cause, #cardiovascular and cancer #mortality, and is the more the better? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Fourteen studies from six prospective cohorts with a pooled sample of 232 149 participants were included. In total, 25 951 deaths were recorded during 5.5–35 year follow-ups. Our meta-analysis showed that running participation is associated with 27%, 30% and 23% lower risk of all-cause (pooled adjusted hazard ratio (HR)=0.73; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68 to 0.79), cardiovascular (HR=0.70;… Continue reading Is #running associated with a lower risk of all-cause, #cardiovascular and cancer #mortality, and is the more the better? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Weight change across adulthood in relation to all cause and cause specific #mortality: prospective cohort study
..Compared with participants who remained at normal weight, those moving from the non-obese to obese category between young and middle adulthood had a 22% (hazard ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.11 to 1.33) and 49% (1.49, 1.21 to 1.83) higher risk of all cause mortality and heart disease mortality, respectively. Changing from obese to non-obese… Continue reading Weight change across adulthood in relation to all cause and cause specific #mortality: prospective cohort study
Self-rated #walking pace and all-cause, #cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality: individual participant pooled analysis of 50 225 walkers from 11 population British cohorts
Walking pace is associated with risk of premature mortality. Among participants who did not experience an event in the first 2 years of follow-up (n=49 731), walking at an average or brisk/fast pace was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause (20% (95% CI 12% to 28%) and 24% (95% CI 13% to 33%), respectively) and CVD… Continue reading Self-rated #walking pace and all-cause, #cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality: individual participant pooled analysis of 50 225 walkers from 11 population British cohorts
Dog Ownership and #Survival A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Dog ownership has been associated with decreased cardiovascular risk. Recent reports have suggested an association of dog companionship with lower blood pressure levels, improved lipid profile, and diminished sympathetic responses to stress. Dog ownership was associated with a 24% risk reduction for all-cause mortality as compared to nonownership (relative risk, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.67–0.86) with… Continue reading Dog Ownership and #Survival A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Interplay of Objective #sleep Duration and Cardiovascular and #Cerebrovascular Diseases on Cause‐Specific Mortality
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CBVDs) and cancer are leading causes of death. Short sleep is a potential contributor to health; however, its role in predicting mortality associated with cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) and CBVD remains poorly understood. CMR was defined as stage 2 hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus on the basis of blood pressure and glucose levels… Continue reading Interplay of Objective #sleep Duration and Cardiovascular and #Cerebrovascular Diseases on Cause‐Specific Mortality
