Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing use of cannabis, we need to know if cannabis use and Body Mass Index (BMI) are associated. METHODS The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study followed Black and White adults over 30 years with assessments every 2 to 5 years in four centers in the USA. We assessed self-reported current and computed cumulative cannabis exposure at every visit, and studied associations with BMI, adjusted for relevant covariables in mixed longitudinal models. We also applied marginal structural models (MSM) accounting for the probability of having stopped cannabis over the last 5 years. RESULTS At the Year 30 visit, 1,912 (58 %) identified as women and 1,600 (48 %) as Black, mean age was 56 (SD 2) years. While 2,849 (85 %) had ever used cannabis, 479 (14 %) currently used cannabis. Overall, participants contributed to 35,882 individual visits over 30 years. In multivariable adjusted models, mean BMI was significantly lower in daily cannabis users (26.6 kg/m2, 95 %CI 26.3 to 27.0) than in participants without current use (27.7 kg/m2, 95 %CI 27.5 to 27.9, p < 0.001). Cumulative cannabis use was not associated with BMI. The MSM showed no change in BMI when stopping cannabis use over a 5-year period (β=0.2 kg/m2 total, 95 %CI -0.2 to 0.6). CONCLUSIONS Current cannabis use was associated with lower BMI, but cumulative cannabis use and cessation were not. This suggests that recreational cannabis use may not lead to clinically relevant changes in BMI and that the association between current cannabis use and lower BMI is likely due to residual confounding.

Interactions between long-term ambient particle exposures and lifestyle on the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes: insight from a large community-based survey. J Epidemiol Community Health 2023; 77:440-446. [PMID: 37094940 PMCID: PMC10330163 DOI: 10.1136/jech-2023-220480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence on the interaction of lifestyle and long-term ambient particle (PM) exposure on the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, particularly their combined condition is limited. We investigate the associations between PM and these outcomes and whether the associations were modified by various lifestyles. METHODS This was a large population-based survey during 2019-2021 in Southern China. The concentrations of PM were interpolated and assigned to participants by the residential address. Hypertension and diabetes status were from questionnaires and confirmed with the community health centres. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations, followed by a comprehensive set of stratified analyses by the lifestyles including diet, smoking, drinking, sleeping and exercise. RESULTS A total of 82 345 residents were included in the final analyses. For each 1 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, the adjusted OR for the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and their combined condition were 1.05 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.06), 1.07 (95% CI 1.06 to 1.08) and 1.05 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.06), respectively. We observed that the association between PM2.5 and the combined condition was greatest in the group with 4-8 unhealthy lifestyles (OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.13) followed by the group with 2-3 and those with 0-1 unhealthy lifestyle (P interaction=0.026). Similar results and trends were observed in PM10 and/or in those with hypertension or diabetes. Individuals who consumed alcohol, had inadequate sleep duration or had poor quality sleep were more vulnerable. CONCLUSION Long-term PM exposure was associated with increased prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and their combined condition, and those with unhealthy lifestyles suffered greater risks of these conditions.

Abstract
Aging is the most important factor contributing to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and the incidence and severity of cardiovascular events tend to increase with age. Currently, CVD is the leading cause of death in the global population. In-depth analysis of the mechanisms and interventions of cardiovascular aging and related diseases is an important basis for achieving healthy aging. Tea polyphenols (TPs) are the general term for the polyhydroxy compounds contained in tea leaves, whose main components are catechins, flavonoids, flavonols, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, condensed phenolic acids and polymeric phenols. Among them, catechins are the main components of TPs. In this article, we provide a detailed review of the classification and composition of teas, as well as an overview of the causes of aging-related CVDs. Then, we focus on ten aspects of the effects of TPs, including anti-hypertension, lipid-lowering effects, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-proliferation, anti-angiogenesis, anti-atherosclerosis, recovery of endothelial function, anti-thrombosis, myocardial protective effect, to improve CVDs and the detailed molecular mechanisms.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:4712. [PMID: 36981627 PMCID: PMC10048944 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20064712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
(1) Background: We investigated whether weight changes affect the association between smoking cessation and stroke risk; (2) Methods: Overall, 719,040 males were categorized into eight groups according to smoking status (sustained smokers, non-smokers, long-term quitters (quit > 4 years), and recent quitters (quit < 4 years)) and post-cessation weight change (-5 kg, -5.0 to 0.1 kg, maintainers, 0.1-5.0 kg, and >5.0 kg). The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for incident total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic strokes, including subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage, were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models; (3) Results: We detected 38,730 strokes (median follow-up, 25.7 years), including 30,609 ischemic and 9055 hemorrhagic strokes. For recent quitters with a >5.0 kg or 0.1-5.0 kg weight increase, maintainers, or those who lost 0.1-5 kg, the multivariable HR for total stroke was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.67-0.79), 0.78 (95% CI, 0.74-0.82), 0.77 (95% CI, 0.69-0.85), 0.84 (95% CI, 0.77-0.90), and 1.06 (95% CI, 0.92-1.23), respectively, compared with that of sustained smokers; (4) Conclusions: Comparable patterns were obtained for stroke subtypes. Thus, we strongly recommend quitting smoking, as weight gain after quitting smoking does not alter the stroke-related benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quitting smoking is difficult due to barriers such as craving for cigarettes and post-cessation weight gain. Recent experimental data suggest a role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the pathophysiology of addiction in addition to appetite regulation and weight control. We hypothesized that a pharmacological intervention with the GLP-1 analogue dulaglutide during smoking cessation may improve abstinence rates and reduce post-cessation weight gain. METHODS This is a single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, superiority study conducted in the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. We included adult smokers with at least moderate cigarette dependence who wanted to quit. Participants were randomly assigned to a 12-week treatment with dulaglutide 1.5 mg once weekly or placebo subcutaneously in addition to standard of care including behavioural counselling and oral varenicline pharmacotherapy of 2 mg/day. The primary outcome was self-reported and biochemically confirmed point prevalence abstinence rate at week 12. Secondary outcomes included post-cessation weight, glucose metabolism, and craving for smoking. All participants who received one dose of study drug were included in the primary and safety analyses. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03204396). FINDINGS Between June 22, 2017, and December 3, 2020, 255 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to each group (127 in the dulaglutide group and 128 in the placebo group). After 12 weeks, 63% (80/127) participants on dulaglutide and 65% (83/128) on placebo treatment were abstinent (difference in proportions -1.9% [95% Confidence interval (CI) -10.7, 14.4], p-value (p) = 0.859). Dulaglutide decreased post-cessation weight (-1 kg [standard deviation (SD) 2.7]), while weight increased on placebo (+1.9 kg [SD 2.4]). The baseline-adjusted difference in weight change between groups was -2.9 kg (95% CI -3.59, -2.3, p < 0.001). Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level declined on dulaglutide treatment (baseline-adjusted median difference in HbA1c between groups -0.25% [interquartile range (IQR) -0.36, -0.14], p < 0.001). Craving for smoking declined during treatment without any difference between the groups. Treatment-emergent gastrointestinal symptoms were very common in both groups: 90% (114/127) of participants on dulaglutide and 81% (81/128) on placebo). INTERPRETATION Dulaglutide had no effect on abstinence rates but prevented post-cessation weight gain and decreased HbA1c levels. GLP-1 analogues may play a role in future cessation therapy targeting metabolic parameters such as weight and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health problem and is related to increasing rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Over 1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese worldwide and the prevalence of obesity is increasing. Obesity influences endothelial function through obesity-related complications such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The excess fat accumulation in obesity causes adipocyte dysfunction and induces oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and inflammation leading to endothelial dysfunction. Several anthropometric indices and imaging modalities that are used to evaluate obesity have demonstrated an association between obesity and endothelial function. In the past few decades, there has been great focus on the mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction caused by obesity for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular events. This review focuses on pathophysiological mechanisms of obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction and therapeutic targets of obesity.
