Background The minimal and optimal daily step counts for health improvements remain unclear. Objectives A meta-analysis was performed to quantify dose-response associations of objectively measured step count metrics in the general population. Methods Electronic databases were searched from inception to October 2022. Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Study results were… Continue reading Relationship of Daily #Step Counts to All-Cause #Mortality and #Cardiovascular Events

Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
Tea and coffee are the most consumed beverages worldwide and very often sweetened with sugar. However, the association between the use of sugar in tea or coffee and adverse events is currently unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the association between the addition of sugar to coffee or tea, and the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality… Continue reading Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
Incidence of adverse #cardiovascular events in patients with #insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world data
Insomnia is a prevalent sleeping disorder associated with increasing cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. However, data incorporating recent clinical studies evaluating these outcomes is scarce. Hence, we aimed to investigate the association of insomnia with CV mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, and incidence of CV disease by conducting the first-ever meta-analysis of real-world data… Continue reading Incidence of adverse #cardiovascular events in patients with #insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world data
Dietary #Carbohydrate and #Fat Intakes and Risk of Mortality in the Japanese Population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study
BackgroundPrevious cohort studies have yielded contradictory findings regarding the associations of dietary carbohydrate and fat intakes with risks of mortality.ObjectivesWe examined long-term associations of carbohydrate and fat intakes with mortality.MethodsIn this cohort study, 34,893 men and 46,440 women aged 35–69 y (mean body mass index of 23.7 and 22.2 kg/m2, respectively) were followed up from the baseline survey (2004–2014)… Continue reading Dietary #Carbohydrate and #Fat Intakes and Risk of Mortality in the Japanese Population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study

Cause-specific excess #mortality after first diagnosis of #bipolar disorder: population-based cohort study
Background Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with increased mortality, but evidence on cause-specific mortality is limited.Objective To investigate cause-specific premature excess mortality in BD.Methods Finnish nationwide cohort study of individuals with and without a diagnosis of BD who were aged 15–64 years during 2004–2018. Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) with 95% CIs were calculated for BD using the mortality… Continue reading Cause-specific excess #mortality after first diagnosis of #bipolar disorder: population-based cohort study
Osteoporosis Medication Use After Hip Fracture in U.S. Patients Between 2002 and 2011
ABSTRACTHip fractures are common, morbid, costly, and associated with subsequent fractures. Historically, postfracture osteoporosis medication use rates have been poor, but have not been recently examined in a large-scale study. We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study based on U.S. administrative insurance claims data for beneficiaries with commercial or Medicare supplemental health insurance. Eligible participants… Continue reading Osteoporosis Medication Use After Hip Fracture in U.S. Patients Between 2002 and 2011
Hip Fractures in Institutionalized Elderly People: Incidence Rates and Excess Mortality
It is assumed that nursing homes are the setting with the highest incidence of hip fractures. This observation is, however, based on very little data. The aim of this study was to analyze hip fracture rates and the associated excess mortality in a large nursing home population. A cohort of >69,000 women and men newly… Continue reading Hip Fractures in Institutionalized Elderly People: Incidence Rates and Excess Mortality
