Project description:The association of inadequate dietary sodium intake with bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of osteoporosis is controversial. To find the association between low sodium diet and the risk of incipient osteoporosis, we performed a population-based cross-sectional analysis using Tanaka method for estimation 24-h urinary sodium excretion (e24hUNaETanaka) as a candidate indicator of sodium intake. We identified 3869 participants without osteoporosis and classified them into quartiles according to their value of e24hUNaETanaka. BMD was measured to find participants at risk of osteoporosis. Lower e24hUNaETanaka was related to decreasing BMD of the distal radius. Multiple Cox-proportional hazard models demonstrated that e24hUNaETanaka had an inverse association with the risk of osteoporosis (adjusted HR = 0.859, 95% CI = 0.751-0.982) and survival analysis revealed that the lowest quartile group had poor osteoporosis-free survival (PLog-rank < 0.0001). Furthermore, our restricted cubic spline analysis revealed that the relationship between e24hUNaETanaka and HR of osteoporosis was negative curvilinear in males and postmenopausal females and positive linear in premenopausal females. Our findings suggest that lower sodium intake was a significant predictor of incipient osteoporosis and there was wide variation in this relationship according to sex and female hormone status.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune chronic connective tissue disease that produces persistent systemic inflammation, with joint inflammation leading to function loss and joint destruction. Low bone mass causes skeletal bone loss, commonly referred to as osteopenia or osteoporosis. We conducted this literature review to examine the relationship between RA and osteoporosis and the variables contributing to this connection. We used articles from the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Google Scholar, Science Direct to access the required information. Eventually, our results concluded that RA could result in local periarticular and generalized bone loss. Many risk factors contribute to this association, such as chronic joints inflammation, glucocorticoid use, genetics, and estrogen hormone effects. Still, it is not clear yet whether this is due to a consequence of treatment, immobility, or the activity of the disease. There are many recommendations by the American College of Rheumatology for RA patients during the disease course to reduce the risk of osteoporosis development, which include early starts of disease-modifying anti-inflammatory drugs (DMARDs), doing a dual-energy x-ray (DXA) or quantitative ultrasound (QUS) for identifying a patient at risk of osteoporosis, taking vitamin D, calcium, and bisphosphonates. Further prospective studies and clinical trials are essential to provide a solid evidence-based recommendation that will help to prevent bone loss in RA patients.

Project description:BackgroundIn animal studies, zinc supplementation inhibited phosphate-induced arterial calcification. We tested the hypothesis that higher intake of dietary zinc was associated with lower abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) among adults in the USA. We also explored the associations of AAC with supplemental zinc intake, total zinc intake and serum zinc level.MethodsWe performed cross-sectional analyses of 2535 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-14. Dietary and supplemental zinc intakes were obtained from two 24-h dietary recall interviews. Total zinc intake was the sum of dietary and supplemental zinc. AAC was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in adults ≥40 years of age and quantified using the Kauppila score system. AAC scores were categorized into three groups: no AAC (AAC = 0, reference group), mild-moderate (AAC >0-≤6) and severe AAC (AAC >6).ResultsDietary zinc intake (mean ± SE) was 10.5 ± 0.1 mg/day; 28% had AAC (20% mild-moderate and 8% severe), 17% had diabetes mellitus and 51% had hypertension. Higher intake of dietary zinc was associated with lower odds of having severe AAC. Per 1 mg/day higher intake of dietary zinc, the odds of having severe AAC were 8% lower [adjusted odds ratio 0.92 (95% confidence interval 0.86-0.98), P = 0.01] compared with those without AAC, after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities and laboratory measurements. Supplemental zinc intake, total zinc intake and serum zinc level were not associated with AAC.ConclusionsHigher intake of dietary zinc was independently associated with lower odds of having severe AAC among noninstitutionalized US adults.

Project description:ObjectiveWe aimed to determine the association of physical activity and dietary factors on RA risk.MethodsThis case-control study within the Mayo Clinic Biobank matched incident RA cases (two codes plus disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, PPV 95%) to controls 1:3 on age, sex, and recruitment year/location. A baseline questionnaire assessed activity and dietary exposures. Logistic regression models calculated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of RA for each of 45 activity/dietary exposures.ResultsWe identified 212 incident RA cases and 636 controls (mean age 64, 70% female). Active work physical activity was associated with elevated risk of RA (aOR 3.00, 95% CI 1.58-5.69 vs. sedentary); leisure activity was not (aOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.64-1.42 sedentary vs. active). Three or more servings high-fat food and 5+ servings fruits/vegetables daily showed non-significant associations with RA (aOR 1.22, 95% CI 0.74-2.00 vs. 0-1 time; aOR 0.75, 95% CI 0.51-1.11 vs. 0-3 times), especially in sensitivity analyses with at least five years between questionnaire and RA (aOR 1.80, 95% CI 0.69-4.71; aOR 0.54, 95% CI 0.27-1.08). Alcohol binging was not associated with RA risk (aOR 1.28, 95% CI 0.56-2.96). Finally, sensitivity (versus primary) analyses showed a nonsignificant increase in RA risk for most vitamins and supplements.ConclusionActive work physical activity and some nutritional profiles (increased high-fat, reduced fruit/vegetable consumption) may be associated with increased risk of RA. Confirmatory studies are needed.

Project description:ObjectivesDiet has been shown to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and magnesium has been shown to inhibit inflammatory responses, but research on the relationship between dietary magnesium and RA is limited and controversial. In this study, we aimed to explore the non-linear relationship between dietary magnesium intake and RA in US women.DesignCross-sectional survey.SettingNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Primary and secondary outcome measuresNon-linear relationship between dietary magnesium intake and prevalence of RA.ParticipantsA total of 13 324 women aged 18-80 years (RA n=12 306, non-RA n=1018) were included in this study.ResultsOverall, the absolute risk (AR) of RA was 7.24% in all participants. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, we found a negative correlation between dietary magnesium intake and RA (OR=0.84, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.95, p=0.006). When we converted dietary magnesium intake into a categorical variable (tertiles), the ARs of the low group, the middle group and the high group were 9%, 7.1% and 4.9%, respectively. We noticed that the ORs between the three groups were not equidistant; then, we detected a U-shaped linking by smooth curve fitting and obtained inflection points at 181 and 446 mg/day. The prevalence of RA decreased when dietary magnesium intake was <181 mg/day (OR=0.7, 95% CI 0.5 to 0.8, p<0.001) and increased when it was >446 mg/day (OR=2.8, 95% CI 1.2 to 6.6, p=0.020), remaining at a minimum when it was between 181 and 446 mg/day (OR=1.0, 95% CI 0.7 to 1.2, p=0.700).ConclusionThere was a U-shaped relationship between dietary magnesium and RA in women, and our study highlights the importance of moderate dietary magnesium intake in possibly exerting a protective role in women with RA.

Project description:ObjectiveOsteoporosis is an inflammatory disease that causes a large disease burden worldwide. Dietary inflammation index (DII), a comprehensive assessment index that reflects the pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory level of diet was related to multiple inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to explore the association between DII and all-cause mortality in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, data of patients aged ≥ 45 years diagnosed as osteopenia or osteoporosis and had complete dietary intake information were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2007-2010, 2013-2014, 2017-2018). Dietary intake information was obtained from 24-h dietary recall interviews and was used to calculate the DII score. Weighted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were utilized to explore the association between DII and all-cause mortality in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses based on different age, gender and complications were further assessed this association.ResultsA total of 5,381 patients were included. Until December 31, 2019, 1,286 all-cause deaths occurred. After adjusting all covariates, high DII was associated with the high odds of all-cause mortality among patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia (HR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.10-1.48), especially in the male (HR=1.38, 95 %CI: 1.06-1.78), aged < 65 years (HR=1.49, 95 %CI: 1.09-2.02), and without the history the cardiovascular disease (HR=1.30, 95 %CI: 1.03-1.65), diabetes mellitus (HR=1.27, 95 %CI: 1.06-1.52) and chronic kidney disease (HR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.03-1.58).ConclusionA pro-inflammatory diet may have an adverse effect on the prognosis of osteoporosis patients.

Project description:BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease with all-cause mortality increasing globally. Dietary magnesium (Mg), an anti-inflammatory nutrient, has been proven to be associated with the all-cause mortality. The association of dietary Mg intake and all-cause mortality in RA patients remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the association between dietary Mg intake and all-cause mortality in RA patients.MethodsRA patients were extracted from the NHANES 1999-2018, and followed for survival through December 31, 2019. Dietary Mg intake data were obtained from 24-h dietary recall interview. The association between dietary Mg intake and RA patients' all-cause mortality was explored based on weighted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models and described as absolute risk difference (ARD), hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). This association was further explored in subgroup analyses based on different age, gender and body mass index (BMI).ResultsTotally 2,952 patients were included. Until 31 December 2019, a total of 825 deaths were documented. RA patients with higher dietary Mg intake had a 11.12% reduction of all-cause mortality (ARD=-11.12%; HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.56-0.99) in the fully adjusted model, especially in female (HR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.47-0.98), aged < 65 years (HR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.37-0.94) and BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2 (HR = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.42-0.91).ConclusionRA patients who consumed adequate dietary Mg from diet as well as supplements may had a lower risk of all-cause mortality.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who suffer from impaired physical function and fatigue, may have difficulties with grocery shopping and preparing meals. Also, to improve symptoms, patients often experiment with diets but seldom consult a dietitian. Although this could lead to a nutritiously deprived diet, an up-to-date, thorough description of the nutrient intake in Swedish patients with RA is absent. Here, we investigated the habitual dietary energy and nutrient intake in patients with RA living in southwestern Sweden.Materials and methodsThree-day food records performed at two time points during the ADIRA (Anti-inflammatory Diet In Rheumatoid Arthritis) trial, were used. The intake of energy and nutrients was analyzed using The Swedish Food Composition Database.ResultsA total of 62 participants (50 females, 12 males) were included in the study, where 18 participants completed one 3-day food record and 44 participants completed two 3-day food records. Median (IQR) intake of total fat was above or in the upper range of recommendations (females: 37.1 [32.5, 41.7] energy percent (E%), and males: 40.3 [37.5, 42.9] E%). Median (IQR) intake of saturated fatty acids exceeded recommendations (females: 14.9 [12.5, 17.0] E% and males: 15.4 [12.2, 17.0] E%), while median (IQR) carbohydrate and fiber intakes were below recommendations (females: 41.7 [36.3, 45.4] E% and 17.2 [12.8, 20.9] g, respectively, and males: 38.8 [35.2, 40,3] E% and 18.5 [15.7, 21.0] g, respectively). The reported intake of other macronutrients was in line with recommendations. For several micronutrients, e.g., vitamin A and D, folate, and calcium, median intake was below recommended intake. Vitamin A intake was especially low and did not reach lower intake level (LI) for 14 and 17% of females and males, respectively. For females, about 10% did not reach LI for vitamin D, calcium, and riboflavin.ConclusionWe found that patients with RA residing in southwestern Sweden reported a high intake of saturated fatty acids and low intake of fiber and several micronutrients.Clinical trial registration[https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02941055?term=NCT02941055&draw=2&rank=1], identifier [NCT02941055].

Project description:ObjectiveLower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol may be associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was undertaken to determine whether the complex relationship between levels of LDL and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and CV risk is different in RA patients as compared to non-RA controls.MethodsUsing data from a US health insurance plan (2003-2012), we conducted a cohort study that included patients with RA and non-RA control subjects matched with regard to age, sex, and index date. The nonlinearity of associations between lipid levels and incidence of major adverse CV events (MACE) was tested. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models to examine for an interaction between lipid levels and RA status in relation to the risk of MACE, after adjustment for CV risk factors.ResultsIn total, 16,085 RA patients and 48,499 non-RA controls were studied. The mean age was 52.6 years and 78.6% were women. The relationship between LDL cholesterol levels and incidence of MACE was nonlinear and similar between RA patients and non-RA controls (P for interaction = 0.72). No significant increase in CV risk was observed between the lowest quintile of LDL cholesterol levels (≤91.0 mg/dl) and the second, third, or fourth quintiles, whereas the highest quintile (>190.0 mg/dl) conveyed a 40% increase in risk of MACE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.40, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.17-1.68). The relationship between HDL cholesterol levels and incidence of MACE was also nonlinear and similar between RA patients and non-RA controls (P for interaction = 0.39). Compared to the lowest quintile of HDL cholesterol levels, each successive quintile was associated with a reduced risk of MACE (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.48-0.72 for lowest quintile [≤43.0 mg/dl] versus highest quintile [>71.0 mg/dl]).ConclusionThe complex relationship between LDL cholesterol levels, HDL cholesterol levels, and risk of MACE was nonlinear in RA patients and also not statistically significantly different from that in an age- and sex-matched non-RA cohort.

Project description:Osteoporosis is a serious health concern in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Machine learning (ML) models have been increasingly incorporated into various clinical practices, including disease classification, risk prediction, and treatment response. However, only a few studies have focused on predicting osteoporosis using ML in patients with RA. We aimed to develop an ML model to predict osteoporosis using a representative Korean RA cohort database. The KORean Observational study Network for Arthritis (KORONA) database, established by the Clinical Research Center for RA in Korea, was used in this study. Among the 5077 patients registered in KORONA, 2374 patients were included in this study. Four representative ML algorithms were used for the prediction: logistic regression (LR), random forest, XGBoost (XGB), and LightGBM. The accuracy, F1 score, and area under the curve (AUC) of each model were measured. The LR model achieved the highest AUC value at 0.750, while the XGB model achieved the highest accuracy at 0.682. Body mass index, age, menopause, waist and hip circumferences, RA surgery, and monthly income were risk factors of osteoporosis. In conclusion, ML algorithms are a useful option for screening for osteoporosis in patients with RA.
