[PMID: 38707892 PMCID: PMC11066204 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1340968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Several studies have shown that serum copper levels are related to coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, the association of serum copper levels with all-cause, cause-specific [including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer] mortality remains unclear. Objectives This study aimed to prospectively examine the association of copper exposure with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality among US adults. Methods The data for this analysis was obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2014. Mortality from all-causes, CVD, and cancer mortality was linked to US National Death Index mortality data. Cox regression models were used to estimate the association between serum copper levels and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality. Results A total of 2,863 adults were included in the main study. During the mean follow-up time of 81.2 months, 236 deaths were documented, including 68 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 57 deaths from cancer. The weighted mean overall serum copper levels was 117.2 ug/L. After adjusting for all of the covariates, compared with participants with low (1st tertile, <103 μg/L)/medium (2st tertile, 103-124 μg/L) serum copper levels, participants with high serum copper levels (3rd tertile, ≥124 μg/L) had a 1.75-fold (95% CI, 1.05-2.92)/1.78-fold (1.19,2.69) increase in all-cause mortality, a 2.35-fold (95% CI, 1.04-5.31)/3.84-fold (2.09,7.05) increase in CVD mortality and a 0.97-fold (95% CI, 0.28-3.29)/0.86-fold (0.34,2.13) increase in cancer mortality. In addition, there was a linear dose-response association between serum copper concentration with all-cause and CVD mortality (P for nonlinear > 0.05). Conclusions This prospective study found that serum copper concentrations were linearly associated with all-cause and CVD mortality in US adults. High serum copper levels is a risk factor for all-cause and CVD mortality.

[PMID: 38579045 PMCID: PMC10994463 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The gallstone disease is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Dietary trace minerals have been proven to be closely related to many metabolic diseases, and this study aims to explore the association between intakes of dietary trace minerals (copper, iron, selenium, and zinc) and gallstone disease (GSD). Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018, intakes of dietary trace minerals and GSD data were obtained through a 24-hour recall and diagnostic questionnaire, respectively. Weighted logistic regression models were used to identify the association between intakes of dietary trace minerals and the prevalence of GSD, and the results were presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). A total of 4077 participants were included in the final analysis, of which 456 participants had GSD and 3621 participants serving as the control group. No significant associations between GSD and intakes of dietary trace minerals (iron, selenium, and zinc) were found. However, after adjusting for all covariates, significant association was demonstrated between dietary copper (Cu) intake and GSD (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.45-0.98). After conducting a weighted quantile logistic regression, a significant negative correlation was also found between dietary Cu intake and highest GSD quartile (Q4) (OR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.26-0.80). Following the research outlined above, no association was found between intakes of dietary trace minerals (iron, selenium, and zinc) and GSD; however, a linear negative association was identified between dietary Cu intake and GSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) and poor sleep are public health problems with their own set of consequences. This study assessed whether TSE was associated with sleep duration among U.S. adolescents. METHOD We conducted a secondary analysis of 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data including 914 nontobacco-using adolescents ages 16-19 years. TSE measures included cotinine and self-reported home TSE groups including no home TSE, thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure, and secondhand smoke (SHS)+THS exposure. Sleep duration was assessed in hours and categorically as insufficient sleep (recommended hours). Weighted multiple linear regression and multinomial regression models were conducted. RESULTS Adolescents with higher log-cotinine levels had higher number of sleep hours (β = 0.31, 95%CI = 0.02,0.60) and were at increased odds of reporting excess sleep (AOR = 1.41, 95%CI = 1.40,1.42), but were at reduced odds of reporting insufficient sleep (AOR = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.87,0.89). Compared to adolescents with no home TSE, adolescents with home THS exposure and home SHS+THS exposure were at increased odds of reporting insufficient sleep (AOR = 2.27, 95%CI = 2.26,2.29; AOR = 2.75, 95%CI = 2.72,2.77, respectively) and excess sleep (AOR = 1.89, 95%CI = 1.87,1.90; AOR = 5.29, 95%CI = 5.23,5.34, respectively). CONCLUSIONS TSE may affect insufficient and excess sleep duration among adolescents. Eliminating TSE may promote adolescent respiratory and sleep health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies have established a connection between folate intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) has been introduced as a good predictor of CVD events, but no previous study has investigated the relationship between dietary folate intake and severe AAC. Therefore, the study aims to explore the association between dietary folate intake and severe AAC in the United States (US) middle-aged and elderly population. METHODS This study employed cross-sectional data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the relationship between dietary folate intake and severe AAC. Two 24-h dietary recall interviews were conducted to assess dietary folate intake and its sources, while a DXA scan was used to determine the AAC score. To analyze the association between dietary folate intake and severe AAC, a multivariable logistic regression model was applied, and a subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS Our analysis utilized data from 2640 participants aged 40 years and above, including 288 individuals diagnosed with severe AAC. After adjusting for confounding factors, we observed an inverted L-shaped association between folate intake and severe AAC. Upon further adjustment for specific confounding factors and covariates, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the second, third, and fourth quartiles of folate intake, using the first quartile as the reference, were as follows: 1.24 (0.86-1.79), 0.86 (0.58-1.27), and 0.63 (0.41-0.97), respectively. Subgroup analysis results were consistent with the logistic regression models, indicating concordant findings. Moreover, no significant interaction was observed in the subgroup analyses. CONCLUSIONS The study findings suggest an inverted L-shaped association between dietary folate intake and severe AAC. However, additional prospective investigations are necessary to explore the impact of dietary folate intake on severe AAC in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) share several pathophysiologic risk factors, and the exact relationship between the two remains unclear. Our study aims to provide evidence concerning the relationship between hypertension and NAFLD by analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018 and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. METHODS Weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was applied to assess the relationship between hypertension and NAFLD risk by using data from the NHANES 2017-2018. Subsequently, a two-sample MR study was performed using the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to identify the causal association between hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and NAFLD. The primary inverse variance weighted (IVW) and other supplementary MR approaches were conducted to verify the causal association between hypertension and NAFLD. Sensitivity analyses were adopted to confirm the robustness of the results. RESULTS A total of 3144 participants were enrolled for our observational study in NHANES. Weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis suggested that hypertension was positively related to NAFLD risk (odds ratio [OR] = 1.677; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.159-2.423). SBP ≥130 mmHg and DBP ≥80 mmHg were also significantly positively correlated with NAFLD. Moreover, hypertension was independently connected with liver steatosis ( β = 7.836 [95% CI, 2.334-13.338]). The results of MR analysis also supported a causal association between hypertension (OR = 7.203 [95% CI, 2.297-22.587]) and NAFLD. Similar results were observed for the causal exploration between SBP (OR = 1.024 [95% CI, 1.003-1.046]), DBP (OR = 1.047 [95% CI, 1.005-1.090]), and NAFLD. The sensitive analysis further confirmed the robustness and reliability of these findings (all P >0.05). CONCLUSION Hypertension was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD.

Abstract
Background Although previous studies found that frailty is prevalent in NAFLD patients with advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, studies examining the relationship are spare. Aim Our study aspires to investigate the potential correlation between the Frailty Index (FI) and hepatic fibrosis among middle-aged and older adults with NAFLD. Methods Data from the 2017-2020.03 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were utilized for this study, with a final of 2,383 participants aged 50 years and older included. The quantification of frailty was executed employing a 49-item frailty index. The recognition of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis was accomplished through the utilization of the controlling attenuation parameter (CAP) and transient elastography (TE). The relationship between the FI and hepatic fibrosis were investigated employing univariable and multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analyses. A subgroup analysis was conducted, dividing the subjects based on gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), and the presence of hyperlipidemia. Results The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between the FI and significant hepatic fibrosis in NAFLD, even after using multivariate logistic regression models adjusting for potential confounding factors (OR = 1.022, 95% CI, 1.004-1.041) and in tertiles (Q3vs Q1: OR = 2.004, 95% CI, 1.162-3.455). In the subgroup analysis, the correlation was more statistically significant in male (OR = 1.046, 95% CI, 1.022-1.071), under/normal weight (OR = 1.077, 95% CI, 1.009-1.150), overweight (OR = 1.040, 95% CI, 1.010-1.071), and subjects without hyperlipidemia (OR = 1.054, 95% CI, 1.012-1.097). The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for the FI in assessing the existence of substantial fibrosis in NAFLD was 0.612 (95% CI, 0.596-0.628). Conclusion This study demonstrated a positive correlation between significant hepatic fibrosis and frailty, particularly among males aged 50 years and older, who were non-obese and did not have hyperlipidemia with NAFLD. Additional studies are required to further validate these findings.

Abstract
Objective Weekend sleep duration is linked to health issues, including mortality. However, how weekend sleep duration can impact chronic kidney disease (CKD) still needs to be understood. Therefore, we aimed to analyze how weekend sleep duration is associated with kidney function. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We included 5362 study participants and categorized them into nine subgroups by sleep duration (short: ≤6 hours, normal: 6-9 hours, and long: ≥9 hours) on weekdays and weekends and analyzed for the respective association with renal function using stratified multivariable linear regression. Results Weekend sleep duration for 9 hours or more was associated with decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels by 2.8 to 6.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 among people with long to short weekday sleep duration compared with short weekday and weekend sleep durations (control group) after adjusting for demographic characteristics, body measurement, sleep quality, smoking, and comorbidities. The study population with short weekday sleep duration (sWK) and long weekend sleep duration (lWD) had the most significant decline in eGFR. For the study population with sWK, eGFR level significantly decreased by 1.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 as sleep duration on weekends increased by one hour. Conclusion The underlying mediators of lWD and CKD could be the dysregulation of human behaviors, metabolism, or biological functions. Longer weekend sleep duration was linked to a decrease in eGFR levels. It warrants further study to clarify the mediators.

Abstract
Aims This study investigates the relationship between the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) and thyroid function. Methods Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2012, we excluded participants lacking SIRI or thyroid function data, those under 20 years, and pregnant individuals. SIRI was determined using blood samples. We conducted weighted multivariate regression and subgroup analyses to discern the independent relationship between SIRI and thyroid function. Results The study included 1,641 subjects, with an average age of 47.26±16.77 years, including 48.65% males and 51.35% females. The population was divided into three SIRI-based groups (Q1-Q3). Q3, compared to Q1, exhibited higher age-at-onset, greater male prevalence, and increased levels of FT3, FT4, TT4, leukocytes, and triglycerides. This group also showed a higher incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and smoking. Notably, Q1 had lower LDL and HDL levels. SIRI maintained a positive association with FT4 (β = 0.01, 95% CI = 0.00-0.03, P for trend = 0.0071), TT4 (β = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.10, 0.31, P for trend=0.0001), and TPOAb (β = 8.0, 95% CI = 1.77-14.30, P for trend = 0.0120), indicating that each quartile increase in SIRI corresponded to a 0.01 ng/dL increase in FT4, a 0.2 g/dL increase in TT4, and an 8.03 IU/mL rise in TPOAb. The subgroup analysis suggested the SIRI-thyroid function correlation was influenced by hypertension. Conclusion Inflammation may impact the development and progression of thyroid function disorders. Proactive anti-inflammatory treatment might mitigate thyroid abnormalities.

Abstract
Introduction The development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is strongly associated with oxidative stress, but it is unclear whether increasing dietary antioxidant intake reduces the risk of COPD. Therefore, this study assessed the association between antioxidant intake and COPD in US adults aged ≥ 40 years and further examined the correlation using the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI). Methods The study included 8,257 US adults aged ≥ 40 years using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for three cycles from 2007-2012. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the correlation between antioxidant intake and CDAI with COPD. Restricted cubic spline was further used to explore the exposure-response relationship. Mediation analysis was used to explore the role of inflammatory factors in the association between CDAI and COPD. Results This study included 8257 participants (4111 women [weighted, 50.7%]; mean [SD] age, 58.8 [11.2] years). In a multivariable-adjusted model of single antioxidant intake, a linear downward association between carotenoid intake and the incidence of COPD (P for trend = 0.052; Pnon- linear = 0.961). In a multivariable adjusted model for CDAI, this association is similarly present (P for trend = 0.018; Pnon-linear = 0.360). Multiple linear regression modeling showed that leukocytes (P = 0.002), alkaline phosphatase (P< 0.001), and c-reactive protein (P< 0.001) were negatively associated with CDAI levels. Meanwhile, mediation analysis revealed that alkaline phosphatase and c-reactive protein partially influenced the association between CDAI and COPD prevalence, with mediation ratios of 6.4% (P< 0.01) and 4.68% (P = 0.04), respectively. Conclusion The risk of COPD decreased with increased carotenoid intake and CDAI. In addition, CDAI has been found to be strongly associated with inflammatory factors and can reduce the incidence of COPD by mediating inflammatory factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis has been increasing among older individuals, with these two health conditions often coexisting. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the association between T2DM status and bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck among older adults in the United States. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of the data from 5695 adults, 60-80 years of age. The data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, for the following years: 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018. Weighted multivariable regression analyses, with subgroup analyses as appropriate, were performed to identify an association between T2DM/prediabetes status and femoral BMD and mediating factors. RESULTS There was a significant positive association between T2DM/prediabetes status and femoral neck BMD among older women, but not men, after adjusting for body mass index (BMI). On subgroup analysis, stratified by BMI, the significant positive association was retained for T2DM women with a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2 (β, 0.030; 95% CI, 0.007-0.052) or ≥30 kg/m2 (β, 0.029; 95% CI, 0.007-0.05), and for prediabetes women with a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2 (β, 0.016; 95% CI, 0.001-0.030). CONCLUSIONS The association between a positive T2DM/prediabetes status and femoral neck BMD differed by sex among older individuals, with the association being further modulated by BMI. For women with a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2 or ≥30 kg/m2, T2DM was associated with a significantly higher femoral neck BMD, compared to the non-diabetes group.

Abstract
Introduction: To explore the relationship between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and gout to provide support for preventing gout through dietary intervention. Methods: Eligible participants from the 2007 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey aged 20 years and older were included in this cross-sectional study. The weighted chi-square test was used to compare the categorical variables difference between CDAI quartiles groups. The weighted univariate and binary logistic regression analysis were used to test the association between variables and gout. The weighted multivariable logistic regression was used to test the association of CDAI and gout in 4 different models. Subgroup analysis on the associations of CDAI with gout was conducted with stratified factors. Results: The final participants were 26,117, 13,103 (50.17%) were female, 8718 (33.38%) were 40-59 years, 11,200 (42.88%) were white and 1232 (4.72%) had gout. After adjusting for all covariates, the CDAI was associated with gout (odds ratio (OR), .97; 95% CI: .95-1.00). Participants in the highest CDAI quantile group were at low risk of gout (odds ratio (OR), .65; 95% CI: .50-.84) versus those in the lowest quantile group. Subgroup analysis and interaction test showed no significant dependence on diabetes mellitus (DM), marital status, alcohol status, hypertension, poverty income ratio (PIR), education level, body mass index (BMI), smoke status, age, sex, race, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) on this association (all p for interaction >.05). Conclusions: Composite dietary antioxidant index was inversely associated with gout in US adults, and dietary antioxidant intervention might be a promising method in the therapy of gout and greater emphasis should be placed on zinc, selenium, carotenoids, vitamins A, C, and E.

Abstract
The goal of our study was to create a nomogram to predict the risk of developing hypertension in patients with periodontitis. Our study used data from a total of 3196 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009 to 2014 who had ever been diagnosed with periodontitis. The data set was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set according to a 7:3 ratio. The data from the training set was utilized to build the prediction model, while the validation set were used to validate the model. To identify the risk variables, stepwise regression was used to perform successive univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of the nomogram model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve. Calibration plots were used to assess the consistency of the prediction model. The clinical value of the model was evaluated using decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve. A nomogram for the risk of hypertension in subjects with periodontitis was constructed in accordance with the 8 predictors identified in this study. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for the training set and validation set were 0.922 (95% confidence interval: 0.911-0.933) and 0.918 (95% confidence interval: 0.900-0.935), respectively, indicating excellent discrimination. The decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve suggested that the model has significant clinical applications, and the calibration plots of the training set and validation set demonstrated good consistency. The nomogram can effectively predict the risk of hypertension in patients with periodontitis and help clinicians make better clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) is higher in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Inflammation is the key link between HTN and NAFLD. Systemic inflammation can be dramatically increased by inflammatory diet intake. However, whether controlling the inflammatory diet intake in NAFLD patients could affect the occurrence of HTN still remains unknown. Our aim here is to evaluate the effect of the dietary inflammatory index (DII) on blood pressure in patients with different grades of hepatic steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2017-2018). DII was calculated based on the data of 24-h dietary recall interviews. The severity of liver steatosis was assessed by a controlled attenuation parameter. Multivariable logistic regression, multivariable linear regression and subgroup analyses were conducted to determine the association between DII and blood pressure in patients with different degrees of hepatic steatosis. RESULTS A total of 5449 participants were included in this analysis. In male participants with severe liver steatosis (S3), the highest DII tertile group was more likely to have higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) compared with the lowest tertile group (Tertile1: 128.31(125.31,131.31), Tertile3: 133.12(129.40,136.85), P for trend =0.03551). DII was positively correlated with SBP and the prevalence of HTN in males with hepatic steatosis grade S3 (≥ 67% steatosis) (SBP: P for trend = 0.011, HTN: P for trend = 0.039). Regarding the association of DII with SBP and HTN, the tests for interaction were significant for hepatic steatosis (SBP: interaction for p = 0.0015, HTN: interaction for p = 0.0202). CONCLUSIONS In the present study, we demonstrated that DII was a risk factor for increased SBP and the prevalence of HTN in males with severe hepatic steatosis S3, indicating that anti-inflammatory dietary management should be considered in these individuals to reduce the risk of developing HTN.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the intricate relationship between weight change patterns and the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although obesity is recognized as a predisposing factor for CKD, the dynamics of weight fluctuation and its impact on CKD development are not well-defined. By analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2011 to 2018, we sought to elucidate the association between weight trajectories and CKD risk. Patients and Methods We included participants aged ≥40 years, employing body mass index (BMI) measurements at three life stages-baseline, age 25, and a decade preceding baseline-to categorize weight change patterns. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the association of these patterns with CKD onset, adjusting for potential confounders. Results The study encompassed 12,284 participants, with 2893 individuals diagnosed with CKD. Transitioning from normal weight to obesity and staying obese throughout adulthood were found to increase the risk of developing CKD. These associations remained consistent after adjusting for covariates but were statistically insignificant after adjusting for comorbidities. Notably, individuals transitioning from obesity to normal weight from age 25 to baseline and from 10 years before baseline to baseline demonstrated significant correlations with CKD but not between age 25 and 10 years before baseline. Conclusion Obesity, weight gain throughout adulthood, and weight loss in middle-to-late adulthood are associated with an increased risk of CKD. This emphasizes the importance of long-term weight change patterns and maintaining a healthy weight throughout adulthood.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and hypertension in American individuals 20 years of age and older. We used continuous cross-sectional surveys from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States from 2007 to 2016. Our selected population was adults aged 20 years and older in the United States. We examined the association between serum UA and risk of hypertension using weighted univariate logistic regression analysis, weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis, weighted subgroup analysis, and weighted restricted cubic spline analysis. Serum UA was significantly linked with hypertension in a multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for all variables (odds ratio [OR]: 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-1.28, P < .001). Furthermore, dividing serum UA into quartiles (Q) revealed an association between elevated serum UA and increased risk of hypertension [Q1 = (OR: 1.00), Q2 = (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.95-1.37, P = .159), Q3 = OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.10-1.52, P = .002), Q4 = OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.58-2.38, P = .161). Additionally, we conducted subgroup analyses for age, sex, race, education, marital status, diabetes status, smoking, and alcohol use and discovered that these factors had a moderating effect on serum UA and hypertension (P < .05). Last but not least, we looked into the nonlinear link between serum UA and hypertension using weighted restricted cubic splines and discovered that there was no such relationship. The segmental effect of serum UA and hypertension, with an inflection point of 5.079 (mg/dL), was discovered in our gender-stratified study. And in analyses stratified by race and marital status, we similarly found a dose-response relationship between UA and hypertension among Hispanics and unmarried people. Our study showed a positive correlation between serum UA and hypertension.

Abstract
Periodontitis is increasingly associated with heart failure, and the goal of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model based on machine learning algorithms for the risk of heart failure in middle-aged and elderly participants with periodontitis. We analyzed data from a total of 2876 participants with a history of periodontitis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009 to 2014, with a training set of 1980 subjects with periodontitis from the NHANES 2009 to 2012 and an external validation set of 896 subjects from the NHANES 2013 to 2014. The independent risk factors for heart failure were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest, gradient boosting machine, and multilayer perceptron were used on the training set to construct the models. The performance of the machine learning models was evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation on the training set and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis in the validation set. Based on the results of univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression, it was found that age, race, myocardial infarction, and diabetes mellitus status were independent predictors of the risk of heart failure in participants with periodontitis. Six machine learning models, including logistic regression, K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest, gradient boosting machine, and multilayer perceptron, were built on the training set, respectively. The area under the ROC for the 6 models was obtained using 10-fold cross-validation with values of 0 848, 0.936, 0.859, 0.889, 0.927, and 0.666, respectively. The areas under the ROC on the external validation set were 0.854, 0.949, 0.647, 0.933, 0.855, and 0.74, respectively. K-nearest neighbor model got the best prediction performance across all models. Out of 6 machine learning models, the K-nearest neighbor algorithm model performed the best. The prediction model offers early, individualized diagnosis and treatment plans and assists in identifying the risk of heart failure occurrence in middle-aged and elderly patients with periodontitis.

[PMID: 37600830 PMCID: PMC10436559 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1191130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Significant evidence suggests that asthma might originate from low-grade systemic inflammation. Previous studies have established a positive association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) levels and the risk of stroke. However, it remains unclear whether SII, SIRI and the prevalence of stroke are related in individuals with asthma. Methods The present cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2018. SII was calculated using the following formula: (platelet count × neutrophil count)/lymphocyte count. SIRI was calculated using the following formula: (neutrophil count × monocyte count)/lymphocyte count. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to determine any correlation between SII, SIRI, and the baseline characteristics. Survey-weighted logistic regression was employed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to determine the association between SII, SIRI, and stroke prevalence. The predictive value of SII and SIRI for stroke prevalence was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) being indicative of its predictive value. Additionally, clinical models including SIRI, coronary heart disease, hypertension, age, and poverty income ratio were constructed to evaluate their clinical applicability. Results Between 1999 and 2018, 5,907 NHANES participants with asthma were identified, of which 199 participants experienced a stroke, while the remaining 5,708 participants had not. Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that neither SII nor SIRI levels exhibited any significant correlation with the baseline characteristics of the participants (r<0.1). ROC curves were used to determine the optimal cut-off values for SII and SIRI levels to classify participants into low- and high-level groups. Higher SII and SIRI levels were associated with a higher prevalence of stroke, with ORs of 1.80 (95% CI, 1.18-2.76) and 2.23 (95% CI, 1.39-3.57), respectively. The predictive value of SIRI (AUC=0.618) for stroke prevalence was superior to that of SII (AUC=0.552). Furthermore, the clinical model demonstrated good predictive value (AUC=0.825), with a sensitivity of 67.1% and specificity of 87.7%. Conclusion In asthmatics, higher levels of SII and SIRI significantly increased the prevalence of stroke, with its association being more pronounced in individuals with coexisting obesity and hyperlipidaemia. SII and SIRI are relatively stable novel inflammatory markers in the asthmatic population, with SIRI having a better predictive value for stroke prevalence than SII.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dietary and lifestyle changes are the first line of therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalent liver disease in the western world. Nutrition literacy is the ability to understand nutrition information and implement that knowledge. We aimed to compare indicators of nutrition literacy in subjects with and without NAFLD in a representative US cohort. METHODS In a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018 cycle, we included 2,938 adult subjects with complete dietary and vibration-controlled transient elastography data and no alternative reason for hepatic steatosis. Nutrition literacy was assessed using questionnaires. Diet perception accuracy was assessed by comparing self-reported diet quality with objective diet quality scores-the Healthy Eating Index and alternative Mediterranean diet score-to assess real-world application of nutrition knowledge. RESULTS Nutrition literacy was not different between subjects with or without NAFLD ( P = 0.17): more than 90% of subjects reported using nutrition labels, and most of them correctly identified the meaning of daily value. Subjects with NAFLD had a lower-quality diet (Healthy Eating Index, P = 0.018; alternative Mediterranean diet, P = 0.013) and rated their diet as poorer ( P < 0.001). On self-assessment, only 27.8% of subjects overestimated their diet quality, while 37.5% consumed more calories than their self-assessed needs. Both accuracy measures were similar between subjects with NAFLD and those without ( P = 0.71 and 0.63, respectively). Subjects with NAFLD were more likely to report being advised to lose weight (42.1% vs 16.5%, P < 0.001) or to attempt losing weight (71.9% vs 60.9%, P < 0.001). Diet quality was not better in subjects with NAFLD who received dietary recommendations. DISCUSSION Subjects with NAFLD have poor diet quality despite receiving medical recommendations to lose weight and having nutrition literacy and perception that are comparable with subjects without NAFLD. Educational approaches may not be sufficient to promote weight loss and improve diet quality in NAFLD.

Association of Dietary Inflammatory Index and Dietary Oxidative Balance Score with All-Cause and Disease-Specific Mortality: Findings of 2003-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Nutrients 2023; 15:3148.

Abstract
To clarify the effects of dietary inflammatory and pro-oxidative potential, we investigated the impact of the Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) and the Dietary Oxidative Balance Score (DOBS) on all-cause and disease-specific mortality. For DII and DOBS, 17,550 and 24,527 participants were included. Twenty-six and seventeen dietary factors were selected for scoring. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used. DII and DOBS were significantly associated with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality in this nationally representative sample of American adults. Compared with the lowest DII, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) of all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality for the highest were 1.49 (1.23-1.80), 1.58 (1.08-2.33), and 1.56 (1.07-2.25). The highest quartile of DOBS was associated with the risk of all-cause death (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.59-0.86). Pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative diets were associated with increased risk for all-cause (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.28-1.97), and CVD (HR 2.29, 95% CI 1.33-3.94) death compared to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant diets. Similar results were observed among the stratification analyses. Inflammation-reducing and oxidative-balancing diets are linked to lower all-cause and CVD mortality. Diets impact health by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease and closely associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Volatile organic chemicals (VOC), a common environment pollutant, was associated with some autoimmune diseases, while whether VOC exposure or which VOC leads to RA is yet clarified. Methods A cross-sectional study using data from the 6 survey cycles (2005-2006, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2015-2016, 2017-2018, 2017-2020) of NHANES program was performed. The RA or non-arthritis status of participant was identified through a questionnaire survey. The quantile logistic regression method was used for correlation analysis between VOC metabolites (VOCs) in urine and RA. The covariates included age, gender, race, educational level, marital status, total energy intake, physical activity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, urine creatinine, albumin and marihuana use. Results A total of 9536 participants (aged 20 to 85) with 15 VOCs, comprising 618 RA and 8918 non-arthritis participants, was finally included for analysis. Participants in the RA group showed higher VOCs in urine than that in the non-arthritis group. A positive association between 2 VOCs (AMCC: Q4: OR=2.173, 95%CI: 1.021, 4.627. 3HPMA: Q2: OR=2.286, 95%CI: 1.207 - 4.330; Q4: OR=2.663, 95%CI: 1.288 -5.508.) and RA was detected in the model 3, which was independent of all the covariates. The relative parent compounds of the two VOCs included N,N-Dimethylformamide and acrolein. Discussion These findings suggested that the VOC exposure significantly associated with RA, providing newly epidemiological evidence for the establishment that environmental pollutants associated with RA. And also, more prospective studies and related experimental studies are needed to further validate the conclusions of this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the associations of hormone preparations with lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and whether these impacts persisted after hormone preparations were discontinued. METHODS A total of 6,031 postmenopausal women were enrolled and divided into seven groups based on the types of hormone preparations. Among them, 1,996 participants were further divided into a current users (CU) group and a past users (PU) group. Multivariable linear regression models or logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of hormone preparation with lumbar spine BMD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. RESULTS Combined oral contraceptive pills, estrogen-only pills, estrogen/progestin combo pills, estrogen-only patches, or the use of more than two kinds of hormone preparations were positively associated with lumbar spine BMD (all P < 0.05). Except for estrogen-only patches, other hormone preparations also had a protective effect against osteopenia (all OR < 1, all P < 0.05), but none of them were associated with osteoporosis prevalence (all P > 0.05). The BMD increased by 0.10 and 0.04 g/cm 2 in the CU and PU groups, respectively, compared with the nonusers group (all P < 0.05). In both the CU and PU groups, the risk of osteopenia was reduced (OR, 0.34 and 0.57, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Hormone preparations increase lumbar spine BMD in postmenopausal women and exert a protective effect against osteopenia. These impacts persisted after hormone preparations were discontinued. Hormone preparations, however, were not associated with osteoporosis prevalence.

Abstract
Objectives To examine national trends in unhealthy lifestyle factors among adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the United States (US) between 1999 and 2018. Methods We analyzed data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative survey of participants with CVD who were aged ≥20 years, which was conducted between 1999 and 2000 and 2017-2018. CVD was defined as a self-report of congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, or stroke. The prevalence rate of each unhealthy lifestyle factor was calculated among adults with CVD for each of the 2-year cycle surveys. Regression analyses were used to assess the impact of sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity, family income, education level, marital status, and employment status). Results The final sample included 5610 NHANES respondents with CVD. The prevalence rate of their current smoking status remained stable among respondents with CVD between 1999 and 2000 and 2017-2018. During the same period, there was a decreasing trend in the age-adjusted prevalence rate of poor diet [primary American Heart Association (AHA) score <20; 47.5% (37.9%-57.0%) to 37.5% (25.7%-49.3%), p < 0.01]. Physical inactivity marginally increased before decreasing, with no statistical significance. The prevalence rate of sedentary behavior increased from 2007 to 2014 but subsequently returned to its original level in 2018 with no statistical significance. The age-adjusted prevalence rate of obesity increased from 32% (27.2%-36.8%) in 1999-2000 to 47.9% (39.9%-55.8%) in 2017-2018 (p < 0.001). The age-adjusted prevalence rate of depression increased from 7% (4.2%-9.9%) in 1999-2000 to 13.9% (10.2%-17.6%) in 2017-2018 (p = 0.056). Trends in mean for each unhealthy lifestyle factor were similar after adjustment for age. We found that respondents who had low education and income levels were at a higher risk of being exposed to unhealthy lifestyle factors (i.e., smoking, poor diet, and physical inactivity) than those who had high education and income levels. Conclusions There is a significant reduction in the prevalence rate of poor diet among US adults with CVD between 1999 and 2018, while the prevalence rate of obesity showed increasing trends over this period. The prevalence rate of current smoking status, sedentary behavior, and depression was either stable or showed an insignificant increase. These findings suggest that there is an urgent need for health policy interventions targeting unhealthy lifestyles among adults with CVD.

Abstract
Pork is a rich source of high-quality protein and select nutrients. The objective of this work was to assess the intakes of all pork (AP), fresh pork (FP) and processed pork (PP) and their association with nutrient intake and meeting nutrient recommendations using 24 h dietary recall data. Usual intake was determined using the NCI method and the percentage of the population with intakes below the Estimated Average Requirement, or above the Adequate Intake for pork consumers and non-consumers, was estimated. About 52, 15 and 45% of children and 59, 20 and 49% of adults were consumers of AP, FP and PP, respectively, with mean intakes in consumers of 47, 60 and 38 g/day for children and 61, 77 and 48 g/day for adults, respectively. Among consumers of AP, FP and PP, the intakes of copper, potassium, selenium, sodium, zinc, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6 and choline were higher (p < 0.05) and a higher (p < 0.05) proportion met nutrient recommendations for copper, potassium, zinc, thiamin and choline compared to non-consumers. There were additional differences (p < 0.05) in intakes and adequacies for other nutrients between consumers and non-consumers depending upon the age group and pork type. In conclusion, pork intake was associated with higher intakes and adequacies in children and adults for certain key nutrients.

Validation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) related steatosis indices in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and comparison of the diagnostic accuracy between NAFLD and MAFLD. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 35:394-401. [PMID: 36695773 PMCID: PMC9951794 DOI: 10.1097/meg.0000000000002497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a new term of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with newly proposed diagnostic criteria. The applicability of common noninvasive testing for screening NAFLD is unclear for the detection of MAFLD and requires reevaluation. We aimed to validate the effectiveness of traditional NAFLD-related steatosis indices for diagnosing MAFLD and to determine the optimal cutoff values as well as compare their accuracy between NAFLD and MAFLD diagnosis. METHODS This study enrolled 1866 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2017-2018). The diagnostic performances of fatty liver index (FLI), Framingham Steatosis Index (FSI), Zhejiang University index (ZJU), lipid accumulation product (LAP), hepatitis steatosis index (HSI) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) were evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve and the optimal cutoff points were calculated according to maximum Youden's index. RESULTS FLI had the highest AUROC (0.840) for predicting MAFLD in the whole population, with a cutoff value of 56.93. The AUROCs of FLI, FSI, ZJU, LAP, HSI and VAI for predicting MAFLD/NAFLD were 0.840/0.812, 0.833/0.811, 0.826/0.811, 0.826/0.799, 0.814/0.803 and 0.747/0.729, respectively. The AUROC values of all indices decreased in the subgroup of the population with overweight or diabetes. CONCLUSION The NAFLD-related scores would be equally useful to screen MAFLD and seemed to be more compatible with MAFLD. The FLI was optimal in both MAFLD and NAFLD diagnoses. However, a new predictive indicator suitable for various characteristics of the population is worth further development in the future.

Ariizumi M, Izumi M, Akifusa S. Correlation between Dietary Intake of Vitamins and Oral Health Behaviors: A Cross-Sectional Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:5243. [PMID: 37047858 PMCID: PMC10094008 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20075243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether oral health behaviors were related to the dietary intake of vitamins. In this cross-sectional study, we included respondents of the 2016 national health and nutrition examination survey, and dental diseases from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, findings of blood tests related to metabolic syndrome, dietary intake, oral health status, and behaviors were collected. Participants were divided into two groups based on their oral health behavior: the yes group (performed interdental cleaning or tongue brushing) and the no group (did not perform the behaviors). The study included 218 participants (male: 107, female: 111) aged 64.5 (range, 22-93) years. There were 133 (61.0%) and 85 (39.0%) participants in the yes and no groups, respectively. The daily intake of vitamins A, B2, B6, E, and K, folic acid, and niacin in the yes group was significantly higher than that in the no group. Oral health behavior correlated with the intake of vitamin B2 (p = 0.029), folic acid (p = 0.006), and vitamin K (p = 0.043) after adjusting for possible confounders. Oral health behavior (interdental cleaning or tongue brushing) correlated with the daily intake of vitamins B2, K, and folic acid.
