Previous studies have highlighted the health benefits of coffee and tea, but they only focused on the comparisons between different consumptions. Consequently, the association estimate lacked a clear interpretation, as the substitution of beverages and distribution of doses were not explicitly prescribed. We focused on the “relative association” to ascertain the optimal consumption strategy (including… Continue reading Relative associations of #coffee, #tea, and plain #water with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: a prospective cohort study

Early prenatal #nitrate exposure and #birth outcomes: A study of Iowa’s public drinking water (1970–1988)
Despite the biological mechanisms linking prenatal nitrate exposure to birth outcomes, epidemiological research has been inconclusive. The evidence-base has been limited by where and how nitrate exposure was measured, and the spurious correlation between geotemporal nitrate heterogeneity and unmeasurable factors contributing to gestational age and birth weight. We linked Iowa water quality data and birth… Continue reading Early prenatal #nitrate exposure and #birth outcomes: A study of Iowa’s public drinking water (1970–1988)
Beverage consumption and mortality among adults with type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort study
Objective To investigate the intake of specific types of beverages in relation to mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes among adults with type 2 diabetes.Design Prospective cohort study.Setting Health professionals in the United States.Participants 15 486 men and women with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes at baseline and during follow-up (Nurses’ Health Study: 1980-2018; and… Continue reading Beverage consumption and mortality among adults with type 2 diabetes: prospective cohort study
#cognitive performance in relation to #hydration status and water intake among older adults, NHANES 2011–2014
..we tested if calculated serum osmolarity (Sosm) and adequate intake (AI) of water among women (n = 1271) and men (n = 1235) ≥ 60 years old were associated with scores of immediate and delayed recall, verbal fluency, and attention/processing speed. Sosm was categorized as < 285 (hyperhydrated), 285–289, 290–294, 295–300, or > 300 (dehydrated) mmol/L. AI of water was defined as ≥ 2 L/day for women… Continue reading #cognitive performance in relation to #hydration status and water intake among older adults, NHANES 2011–2014
Drinking Water #Salinity, Urinary Macro‐Mineral Excretions, and Blood #Pressure in the Southwest Coastal Population of Bangladesh
Sodium (Na+) in saline water may increase blood pressure (BP), but potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) may lower BP. We assessed the association between drinking water salinity and population BP.. ..fresh water (electrical conductivity, <0.7 mS/cm), mild salinity (electrical conductivity ≥0.7 and <2 mS/cm), and moderate salinity (electrical conductivity ≥2 and <10 mS/cm)..… Continue reading Drinking Water #Salinity, Urinary Macro‐Mineral Excretions, and Blood #Pressure in the Southwest Coastal Population of Bangladesh
