Yan B, Jin Y, Mao S, Yin Y. Association of Life's essential 8 score with the risk of all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in patients with stroke. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:320. [PMID: 38918724 PMCID: PMC11197366 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03947-3] [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: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A higher Life's Essential 8 (LE8)-based cardiovascular health (CVH) has been reported to be associated with a lower risk of both all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) related mortality in adults in the United States. At the same time, multiple studies have shown a significant negative association of CVH with the risk of stroke and CCVDs. Since no research has investigated the applicability of the LE8 in stroke patients, this study aimed to explore the association of LE8 with all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in stroke patients. METHODS Data of patients were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2007-2018 in this retrospective cohort study. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were utilized to investigate the associations of LE8 with all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality. We further explored these relationships in subgroups of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), and coronary heart disease (CHD). The evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Among the eligible patients, 278 died from all-cause and 89 (8.38%) of them died due to CCVDs. After adjusting for covariates, patients with LE8 score ≥ 58.75 seemed to have both lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.31-0.69) and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality (HR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.26-0.98), comparing to those with LE8 score < 48.123. Higher LE8 scores were associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality in patients aged < 65 years old, without cancer, and whatever the gender, BMI, CHF or CHD conditions (all P < 0.05). The relationships between high LE8 scores and low cardio-cerebrovascular mortality risk were only found in age < 65 years old and non-cancer subgroups (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A higher LE8 score was associated with lower risk of both all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality in patients with stroke, which may provide some reference for risk management and prognosis improvement in stoke. However, more evidences are needed to verify this beneficial role of high LE8 score in stroke prognosis.

Dietary indices underpinning front-of-pack nutrition labels and health outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 119:756-768. [PMID: 38145705 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.12.017] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrient profiling systems are increasingly used to characterize the healthfulness of foods for front-of-package (FOP) labeling, which have been proposed as an effective public health strategy to help people make healthier food choices. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to review available evidence from cohort studies that evaluated the association of dietary indices underpinning FOP nutrition labels with all-cause mortality and incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) or cancer. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were systematically searched up to October 2023. We included articles if they were prospective cohort studies, if the exposure was any dietary index underpinning FOP nutrition labels [e.g., the modified Food Standard Agency-Nutrient Profiling System (FSAm-NPS) and the Health Star Rating System], and if outcomes were all-cause mortality or incidence of or mortality due to CVD and cancer. Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. RESULTS We identified 11 records (7 unique prospective studies), which were included in the systematic review. The meta-analysis comprised 8 studies analyzing the FSAm-NPS dietary index (DI) as exposure. The pooled HRs associated with a 2-unit increase in the FSAm-NPS DI of all-cause mortality, CVD, and cancer risk were 1.06 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99, 1.13; I2: 80%), 1.08 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.18; I2: 70%), and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.19; I2: 77%), respectively. The Chilean Warning Label score and the Health Star Rating systems were examined by 1 study each and were significantly associated with the outcomes. CONCLUSIONS DIs underpinning most common FOP nutrition labels and reflecting nutrient-poor diets show a tendency toward an increased incidence of CVD and cancer, but the observed effects are quite modest in magnitude. Further studies at the population level are needed to support the widely shared hypothesis that FOP labels, possibly in conjunction with other interventions, may contribute to reduce noncommunicable disease risk. This meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO as CRD42021292625.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:3353-3371. [PMID: 37908631 PMCID: PMC10614652 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s427412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Recent studies have expanded the scope of research on the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet beyond its impact on cognitive performance. These investigations have specifically explored its potential to provide protection against cardiometabolic diseases and associated risk factors, including obesity and dyslipidemia. Methods We systematically summarized and evaluated all existing observational and trial evidence for the MIND diet in relation to cardiometabolic diseases and their risk factors in adults. PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched to extract original studies on humans published until September 2023, without date restrictions. A total of 491 studies were initially retrieved, out of which 23 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final review. Duplicated and irrelevant studies were screened out by five independent reviewers using the Rayyan platform. Quality assessment was ascertained using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for observational studies and the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2) for randomized trials. Results Across the different study designs, the MIND diet was generally associated with an improvement in anthropometric measures and other cardiometabolic outcomes, such as blood pressure, glycemic control, lipid profile, inflammation and stroke. The effects of the MIND eating pattern on some cardiovascular diseases are less conclusive. Conclusion The findings of this systematic review support the recommendation of the MIND diet as a strategy to reduce cardiometabolic risk in adults. Further well-designed and long-term studies are warranted.

Using Multiple Statistical Methods to Derive Dietary Patterns Associated with Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: Results from a Multiethnic Population-Based Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2802828. [PMID: 35983006 PMCID: PMC9381206 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2802828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Background There are few reports on the relationship between dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to explore relationships between dietary patterns and CVD risk in the T2D population using multiple statistical analysis methods. Methods A total of 2,984 patients with T2D from the Xinjiang Multi-Ethnic Cohort, 555 of whom were suffering from CVD, were enrolled in this study. Participants' dietary intake was measured by the semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Three statistical methods were used to construct dietary patterns, including principal component analysis (PCA) method, reduced-rank regressions (RRR) method, and partial least-squares regression (PLS) method. Then, the association between dietary patterns and CVD risk in T2D patients was analyzed by logistic regression. After excluding participants with CVD, the associations between dietary patterns and 10-year CVD risk scores were subsequently evaluated to reduce reverse causality. Results In this study, four dietary patterns were identified by three methods. Adjustment for confounding factors, subjects with the highest scores on the "high-protein and high-carbohydrate" patterns derived from PCA, RRR, and PLS had higher odds of CVD than those with the lowest scores (OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 2.11-3.96, P trend < 0.001; OR: 2.96, 95% CI: 2.17-4.03, P trend < 0.001; OR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.50-2.70, P trend < 0.001, respectively). However, the dietary pattern of PCA-prudent was not significantly related to the odds of having CVD in T2D patients (adjusted ORQ4vsQ1: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.70-1.24, P trend =0.474). Interestingly, we also found significant associations between "high-protein and high-carbohydrate" patterns and the elevated predicted 10-year CVD risk in T2D patients (all P trend < 0.05). Conclusion The positive correlation between "high-protein and high-carbohydrate" patterns and CVD risk in T2D patients was robust across all three data-driven approaches. These findings may have public health significance, encouraging an emphasis on food choices in the usual diet and promoting nutritional interventions for patients with T2D to prevent CVD.

Bae YJ, Shin SJ, Kang HT. Body mass index at baseline directly predicts new-onset diabetes and to a lesser extent incident cardio-cerebrovascular events, but has a J-shaped relationship to all-cause mortality. BMC Endocr Disord 2022; 22:123. [PMID: 35545762 PMCID: PMC9097180 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-022-01041-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) has increased during recent decades. We aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and each of several outcomes (DM, CCVDs, or mortality) based on the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening cohort. METHODS BMI was categorized as appropriate for Asian populations, into underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal (18.5-< 23 kg/m2), overweight (23-< 25 kg/m2), grade 1 obesity (25-< 30 kg/m2), grade 2 obesity (30-< 35 kg/m2), and grade 3 obesity (≥35 kg/m2). In addition, BMI was further stratified into one unit. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between BMI category and the primary outcomes (DM, CCVDs, or mortality). RESULTS A total of 311,416 individuals were included. The median follow-up was 12.5 years. Compared to normal BMI, underweight, overweight, and grade 1-3 obese individuals had a higher risk of the primary outcomes (hazard ratio [95% confidence intervals] 1.293 [1.224-1.365], 1.101 [1.073-1.129], 1.320 [1.288-1.353], 1.789 [1.689-1.897], and 2.376 [2.019-2.857], respectively, in men and 1.084 [1.010-1.163], 1.150 [1.116-1.185], 1.385 [1.346-1.425], 1.865 [1.725-2.019], and 2.472 [2.025-3.028], respectively, in women). Setting the reference BMI to 20-< 21 kg/m2 and categorizing into one unit increment, BMI was associated with the primary outcomes in a J-shaped manner in both sexes. The risk of DM increased with higher BMI in both sexes, while all-cause mortality decreased in men with a BMI 21-< 31 kg/m2 and women with BMI 22-< 30 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS BMI was associated with all-cause mortality in a J-shaped manner in both sexes, while it was associated with risk of DM in a dose-response relationship. The relationship between BMI and the primary outcomes was J-shaped.
