[PMID: 38618570 PMCID: PMC11015831 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertension stands as the leading single contributor to the worldwide burden of mortality and disability. Limited evidence exists regarding the association between the combined healthy lifestyle score (HLS) and hypertension control in both treated and untreated hypertensive individuals. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between HLS and hypertension control among adults with treated and untreated hypertension. Methods This cross-sectional study, including 311,994 hypertension patients, was conducted in Guangzhou using data from the National Basic Public Health Services Projects in China. The HLS was defined based on five low-risk lifestyle factors: healthy dietary habits, active physical activity, normal body mass index, never smoking, and no alcohol consumption. Controlled blood pressure was defined as systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mmHg. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association between HLS and hypertension control after adjusting for various confounders. Results The HLS demonstrated an inverse association with hypertension control among hypertensive patients. In comparison to the low HLS group (scored 0-2), the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for hypertension were 0.76 (0.74, 0.78), 0.59 (0.57, 0.60), and 0.48 (0.46, 0.49) for the HLS groups scoring 3, 4, and 5, respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). Notably, an interaction was observed between HLS and antihypertensive medication in relation to hypertension control (Pinteraction < 0.001). When comparing the highest HLS (scored 5) with the lowest HLS (scored 0-2), adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 0.50 (0.48, 0.52, Ptrend < 0.001) among individuals who self-reported using antihypertensive medication and 0.41 (0.38, 0.44, Ptrend < 0.001) among those not using such medication. Hypertensive patients adhering to a healthy lifestyle without medication exhibited better blood pressure management than those using medication while following a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion HLS was associated with a reduced risk of uncontrolled blood pressure.

Physical and mental functioning trajectory classes among older adults and their association with specialized healthcare use. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:448. [PMID: 37480067 PMCID: PMC10360356 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04157-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex-specific physical and mental functioning trajectory classification could offer a way of understanding the differences in healthcare use at older age. METHODS Using latent growth mixture models, sex-specific physical and mental functioning trajectory classes were formed for 1991 participants (mean age 61.5 years) of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study. Physical and mental functioning were evaluated with the SF-36 survey conducted in clinical examinations in 2001-2004, 2011-2013, and 2017-2018. First and follow-up outpatient visits, emergency visits, and hospital days were extracted from a national register between the first clinical examination and the year 2017. We used regression models to examine the associations between healthcare use and trajectory classes. RESULTS Two physical and mental functioning trajectory classes, high and intermediate, were observed for both sexes. The intermediate physical functioning trajectory class was associated with higher utilization rates of all examined specialized healthcare services (fully-adjusted IRRs varying 1.36-1.58; 95% CI = 1.03-1.79, 95% CI = 1.21-2.05) compared to the high trajectory class. Relative to the high trajectory class, the intermediate mental trajectory class was associated with the use of first outpatient visits (fully-adjusted IRRs 1.17, 95% CI = 1.03-1.33 for men, and 1.16, 95% CI = 1.04-1.30 for women). The findings were similar among both sexes. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the high trajectory class, the intermediate physical functioning trajectory class was associated with greater specialized healthcare use and the intermediate mental trajectory class with first outpatient visits. Public health interventions should be considered to support functioning with aging.

Associations of lifestyle with physical, hearing, visual, and mental functional impairments among older adults: Findings from two prospective cohort studies. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2023; 105:104848. [PMID: 36343440 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2022.104848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between lifestyle habits and functional impairments among older adults. METHODS The study includes 20,545 women and 14,374 men aged 70 years or older at the time of the function assessment. Participants were from two prospective cohort studies: the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS, enrollment from 1996 to 2000) and the Shanghai Men's Health Study (SMHS, enrollment from 2002 to 2006). Lifestyle information was collected at study enrollment and a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was derived. Functional impairment information was collected at the follow-up survey conducted in 2012-2017. Logistic regression analyses were applied to estimate the associations of HLS with functional impairments. RESULTS The average age at lifestyle and functional impairment assessment was 62.3 (range: 49.9-70.9) and 77.7 (range: 70.0-89.4) for women and 67.5 (range: 55.1-74.9) and 77.4 (range: 70.0-88.6) for men. After a median follow-up of 14.4 years, we found that the HLS was inversely associated with overall severe functional impairment: odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 0.78(0.71-0.86) and individual severe functional impairment: 0.67(0.62-0.73) for independent walking, 0.85(0.77-0.94) for hearing/vision, 0.79(0.70-0.88) for memory, and 0.74(0.67-0.82) for decision-making impairment, comparing the highest with the lowest HLS categories. Such associations were similar among individuals with/without cardiometabolic diseases at baseline. The associations between each lifestyle factor and functional impairments differed. CONCLUSION A healthy lifestyle was associated with reduced odds of physical and mental impairment among older Chinese adults, emphasizing the importance of promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent or postpone age-related functional impairments.

Subclinical cardiovascular disease and frailty risk: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:321. [PMID: 35413794 PMCID: PMC9006603 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-02974-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with a greater frailty risk, but it remains unknown if pathways that contribute to CVD are associated with the frailty risk. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether elevations in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for those without known CVD at baseline are associated with a higher frailty risk. Methods This study used data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. Cardiac biomarkers were measured from stored plasma samples collected at Visit 2 (1991–1993). Frailty was recorded at Visit 5 (2011–2013). Cox regression models were used to determine the association of cardiac biomarkers with frailty risk. Results Overall, 360/5199 (6.9%) participants aged 55.1 ± 5.1 years developed frailty during a median follow-up of 21.7 years. The incidence of frailty was significantly higher in participants with hs-cTnT ≥14 ng/L (vs. < 14 ng/L: 17.9% vs. 6.7%) or NT-proBNP ≥300 pg/ml (vs. < 300 pg/ml: 19.7% vs. 6.8%) (all P < 0.001). Comparing higher vs. lower cut-off levels of either hs-cTnT (14 ng/l) or NT-proBNP (300 pg/ml) demonstrated a greater than two-fold higher frailty risk, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 2.13 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.130–4.01, P = 0.020) and 2.61 (95% CI: 1.28–5.33, P = 0.008), respectively. Individuals with both elevated hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP had a higher frailty risk than those without it (HR: 4.15; 95% CI: 1.50–11.48, P = 0.006). Conclusions High hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP levels are strongly associated with incident frailty in the community-dwelling population without known CVD. Subclinical cardiac damage (hs-cTnT) and/or wall strain (NT-proBNP) may be the key pathway of CVD patients developing frailty. Detection of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP may help for early screening of high-risk frailty and providing individualised intervention.
