#Height Loss in Old Age and #Fracture Risk Among Men in Late Life: A Prospective Cohort Study
https://2medical.news/2021/03/02/height-loss-in-old-age-and-fracture-risk-among-men-in-late-life-a-prospective-cohort-study/
To assess the association of height loss in old age with subsequent risk of hip and any clinical fracture in men late in life while accounting for the competing risk of mortality, we used data from 3,491 community‐dwelling men (mean age 79.2 years). Height loss between baseline and follow‐up (mean 7.0 years between examinations) was categorized as <1 cm (referent group), ≥1 to <2 cm, …
Association of Major Dietary #Protein Sources With All‐Cause and Cause‐Specific #Mortality: Prospective Cohort Study

Dietary recommendations regarding protein intake have been focused on the amount of protein. However, such recommendations without considering specific protein sources may be simplistic and insufficient. Methods and Results We included 102 521 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative between 1993 and 1998, and followed them through February 2017. During 1 876 205 person‐years of follow‐up, 25 976 deaths occurred. Comparing the highest …
Clinical and Biological Correlates of White Matter Hyperintensities in Patients with #Behavioral-variant Frontotemporal #Dementia and #Alzheimer Disease
https://2medical.news/2021/02/27/clinical-and-biological-correlates-of-white-matter-hyperintensities-in-patients-with-behavioral-variant-frontotemporal-dementia-and-alzheimer-disease/
To test the hypothesis that white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are associated with disease variables such as disease severity, cortical atrophy and cognition, we conducted a cross-sectional brain MRI study with volumetric and voxel-wise analyses. Methods: 129 patients (64 bvFTD, 65 AD) and 66 controls underwent high-resolution brain MRI, clinical and neuropsychological examination. Genetic screening was conducted …
#Personality pathways to mortality: Interleukin-6 links conscientiousness to #mortality risk
https://2medical.news/2021/02/26/personality-pathways-to-mortality-interleukin-6-links-conscientiousness-to-mortality-risk/
Personality is associated consistently with mortality hazards, but the physiological pathways are not yet clear. Immune system dysregulation may be one such pathway due to its role in age-related morbidity and mortality. In this preregistered study, we tested whether interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) mediated the associations between personality traits and mortality hazards. The sample included 957 participants (M ± SD = 58.65 ± …

Objective: Self- monitoring is a core component of behavioral obesity treatment, but it is unknown how digital health has been used for self- monitoring, what engagement rates are achieved in these interven-tions, and how self- monitoring and weight loss are related. Methods: This systematic review examined digital self- monitoring in behavioral weight loss interventions among adults with overweight or obesity. Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, …
#Fructose reprogrammes glutamine-dependent oxidative metabolism to support LPS-induced inflammation
https://2medical.news/2021/02/28/fructose-reprogrammes-glutamine-dependent-oxidative-metabolism-to-support-lps-induced-inflammation/
Fructose intake has increased substantially throughout the developed world and is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Currently, our understanding of the metabolic and mechanistic implications for immune cells, such as monocytes and macrophages, exposed to elevated levels of dietary fructose is limited. Here, we show that fructose reprograms cellular metabolic pathways to favour glutaminolysis and oxidative metabolism, which are …
Risk‐adapted starting age of #breast cancer screening in women with a family history of #ovarian or other cancers: A nationwide cohort study

There is a lack of evidence‐based recommendations for the age at which women with a family history of cancers other than breast cancer should start breast cancer screening. METHODS Using Swedish family cancer data sets, the authors conducted a nationwide cohort study including 5,099,172 Swedish women born after 1931 (follow‐up, 1958‐2015). Accounting for calendar time, they calculated the relative risk of breast cancer for women …
