Curcumin-rich curry consumption and life expectancy: Singapore longitudinal ageing study.

ABSTRACT: The therapeutic potential of curcumin for many diseases are intensively investigated. However, real-world observational data documenting health and longevity effects associated with dietary curcumin in turmeric from consuming curry in food is lacking. A prospective cohort study of 4551 adults aged 55 + assessed curry consumption (never or < once/year, ≥ once/year to < once/month, ≥ once/month to < once/week, ≥ once/week to < daily, ≥ once daily), prevalent health conditions, blood biomarker indexes of atherogenicity, insulin resistance, and inflammation at baseline, and mean (SD) 11.6 (3.8) year follow up of all-cause, CVS and cancer mortality. There were linear positive associations of increasing curry consumption with waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, TyG, AIP, CRI-1, CRI-2, central obesity and diabetes prevalence, and inverse association with eGFR. There were non-linear associations with FEV₁/height² and COPD prevalence, GDS score and depression, MMSE score and cognitive impairment, comorbidity count, serum albumin and haemoglobin, being most favourable with moderate consumption. The levels of NLR, PLR and SII indices of systemic and immune inflammation decreased linearly with curry consumption. Total mortality HR adjusted for baseline co-variables, decreased across curry consumption, 0.68 (95%CI 0.56-0.82), 0.54 (95%CI 0.43-0.69), 0.70 (0.52-0.93), and 0.62 (0.41-0.95), being lowest in the middle categories. Among participants with cardio-metabolic and vascular diseases (CMVD), at least occasional curry consumption was associated with decreased mortality risk by 39%, and increased life expectancy by 1.0 years. Among those without CMVD, the associated life expectancy increase was 1.9 years. Moderate curry consumption may confer meaningful longevity benefits.

Project description:BackgroundHousework may provide a sustainable form of physical activity for older adults and improve health and survival outcomes. Longitudinal studies on associations between housework status over time and health outcomes are lacking. We aim to assess the longitudinal association of intensity and duration of housework with frailty and mortality outcomes.MethodsAmong 3270 community-dwelling prospective cohort study participants, aged ≥55 years, data on light housework (N=2996) and heavy housework (N=3022) were available at baseline (March 6, 2009, to June 11, 2013) and follow-up at 3 to 5 years later, (January 16, 2013 to August 24, 2018). Median time spent per week on light (≥420min/week) and heavy (>0min/week) household activities at baseline and follow-up were used to categorise individuals into three groups (i) consistent low levels of housework at both baseline and follow-up, (ii) inconsistent high levels of housework at either baseline or follow-up and (iii) consistent high levels of housework at both baseline and follow-up. Baseline and follow-up frailty index >0.10, and all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality from mean 9.5 years follow-up to March 31, 2021. Effect estimates were adjusted for socio-demographics, nutritional risk, lifestyle and other physical activities.ResultsOverall, participants had mean [SD] age, 66.9 [7.8] years; 1916 [62.7%] were female. Participation in high levels of light and heavy housework consistently over time was associated with decreased odds of prefrailty/frailty at follow-up, [OR,0.61;95%CI,0.40-0.94] and [OR,0.56;95%CI,0.34-0.90] respectively, in the older group aged ≥65, compared to participants with consistent low levels of housework at baseline and follow-up. Sex-stratified analysis revealed an association between regular heavy housework participation and lower prevalence of prefrailty/frailty at follow-up in older men but not women [OR,0.31;95%CI,0.13-0.72]. Regular participation in high levels of light housework was associated with 41% lower risk of all-cause mortality [95%CI,0.36-0.96] in women but not in men, and 54% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality [95%CI,0.22-0.96].ConclusionsRegular participation in above average levels of light housework is associated with decreased odds of prefrailty/frailty in older adults aged ≥65 years, and all-cause mortality in older women. Heavy housework participation is associated with decreased odds of prefrailty/frailty, especially in older men aged ≥65. Housework may be a meaningful occupation for older adults and should be encouraged for health and wellbeing.

Project description:BackgroundMultimorbidity is an emerging public health priority. Physical activity (PA) is recommended as one of the main lifestyle behaviours, yet the benefits of PA for people with multimorbidity are unclear. We assessed the benefits of PA on mortality and life expectancy in people with and without multimorbidity.MethodsUsing the UK Biobank dataset, we extracted data on 36 chronic conditions and defined multimorbidity as (a) 2 or more conditions, (b) 2 or more conditions combined with self-reported overall health, and (c) 2 or more top-10 most common comorbidities. Leisure-time PA (LTPA) and total PA (TPA) were measured by questionnaire and categorised as low (< 600 metabolic equivalent (MET)-min/week), moderate (600 to < 3000 MET-min/week), and high (≥ 3000 MET-min/week), while objectively assessed PA was assessed by wrist-worn accelerometer and categorised as low (4 min/day), moderate (10 min/day), and high (22 min/day) walking at brisk pace. Survival models were applied to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and predict life expectancy differences.Results491,939 individuals (96,622 with 2 or more conditions) had a median follow-up of 7.0 (IQR 6.3-7.6) years. Compared to low LTPA, for participants with multimorbidity, HR for mortality was 0.75 (95% CI 0.70-0.80) and 0.65 (0.56-0.75) in moderate and high LTPA groups, respectively. This finding was consistent when using TPA measures. Using objective PA, HRs were 0.49 (0.29-0.80) and 0.29 (0.13-0.61) in the moderate and high PA groups, respectively. These findings were similar for participants without multimorbidity. In participants with multimorbidity, at the age of 45 years, moderate and high LTPA were associated with an average of 3.12 (95% CI 2.53, 3.71) and 3.55 (2.34, 4.77) additional life years, respectively, compared to low LTPA; in participants without multimorbidity, corresponding figures were 1.95 (1.59, 2.31) and 1.85 (1.19, 2.50). Similar results were found with TPA. For objective PA, moderate and high levels were associated with 3.60 (- 0.60, 7.79) and 5.32 (- 0.47, 11.11) life years gained compared to low PA for those with multimorbidity and 3.88 (1.79, 6.00) and 4.51 (2.15, 6.88) life years gained in those without. Results were consistent when using other definitions of multimorbidity.ConclusionsThere was an inverse dose-response association between PA and mortality. A moderate exercise is associated with a longer life expectancy, also in individuals with multimorbidity.
