Dietary saturated fat and fibre and risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among type 1 diabetic patients: the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Low adherence to recommendations for dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) and fibre intake in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus may heighten their increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We examined the relationship of SFA and total, soluble and insoluble fibre with incident CVD and all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetic patients.

Methods

A prospective cohort analysis was performed in 2,108 European type 1 diabetic patients aged 15-60 years who were free of CVD at baseline and enrolled in the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study (51% male). Diet was assessed from a standardised 3 day dietary record. HR were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models.

Results

During a mean follow-up of 7.3 years, 148 incident cases of fatal and non-fatal CVD and 46 all-cause deaths were documented. No statistically significant association was found between SFA and CVD and all-cause mortality. Total dietary fibre, per 5 g/day, was associated with lower all-cause mortality risk (HR 0.72; 95% CI 0.55, 0.95). This association was stronger for soluble fibre (per 5 g/day, HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.14, 0.80) compared with insoluble fibre (per 5 g/day; HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.45, 0.97). Similar results were found for the association with CVD.

Conclusions/interpretation

This study suggests that reported dietary SFA is not significantly associated with CVD and all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetic patients. On the contrary, higher dietary fibre consumption, especially soluble fibre, within the range commonly consumed by type 1 diabetic patients, may contribute to the prevention of CVD and all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetic patients.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to assess the impact of healthy cardiovascular health (CVH) on diabetic complications, mortality, and life expectancy among people with type 2 diabetes and to explore whether inflammation marker mediate these associations.MethodsThis prospective cohort study included 33,236 participants (aged 40-72) with type 2 diabetes from the UK Biobank with annual follow-up from 2006 to 2010 to 2020. Type 2 diabetes was ascertained from self-report, glycated hemoglobin ≥ 6.5%, hospital inpatient registry, or glucose-lowering medication use. Information on mortality was derived from the national death registry. Favorable CVH metrics consisted of non-smoker, regular physical activity, a healthy diet, non-overweight, untreated resting blood pressure < 120/<80 mm Hg, and untreated total cholesterol < 200 mg/dL. Participants were categorized into three groups according to the number of favorable CVH metrics: unfavorable (0 or 1); intermediate (any 2 or 3); and favorable (4 or more). Inflammation marker, as measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), was assessed at baseline and categorized as low (≤ 3 mg/L) and high (> 3 mg/L). Data were analyzed using Cox regression models, flexible parametric survival models, and mediation models.ResultsDuring the follow-up (median: 11.7 years), 3133 (9.4%) cases of diabetes complications and 4701 (14.1%) deaths occurred. Compared to unfavorable CVH, favorable CVH was associated with a reduced risk of diabetes complications (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.26-0.47) and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.43-0.65). In participants with unfavorable CVH, life expectancy at age 45 had a significantly reduction of 7.20 (95% CI, 5.48-8.92) years compared to those with a favorable CVH. Among people with type 2 diabetes, the proportions of diabetes complications and all-cause mortality that would be reduced by promoting the favorable CVH was 61.5% and 39.1%, respectively. CRP level mediated 14.3% and 29.7% of the associations between CVH and diabetic complication and all-cause mortality, respectively.ConclusionA favorable CVH was associated with lower risk of diabetes complications and mortality risk, and was associated with a longer life expectancy among people with type 2 diabetes. This association may be in part accounted for by inflammatory processes. Our findings highlight the importance of favorable CVH for the prevention of diabetic complications and all-cause mortality among people with type 2 diabetes, and underscores the need to monitor inflammation among people with unfavorable CVH.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes is prevalent worldwide and is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Furthermore, due to the insulin resistance, diabetic populations are vulnerable to liver fibrosis, which increases the risk of CVD. Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4)-a non-invasive biomarker for liver fibrosis-is crucial in predicting CVD among patients with liver diseases. However, the association between FIB-4, death, and CVD in the US diabetic population has not yet been investigated.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional study using the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2008. The mortality status was obtained from the National Death Index through December 31, 2015. Participants were divided into survivor and mortality group to compare the basic characteristics. The association between FIB-4, death, and CVD was analyzed using the restricted cubic spline method and Cox proportional hazards models. In stratified analysis, Participants were stratified based on age, sex, BMI, hypertension, or eGFR respectively.ResultsThe participants (N = 3,471) were divided into survivor (N = 1,785) and mortality groups (N = 1,632), with the mortality group exhibiting significantly higher FIB-4 values. Moreover, the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.24; 95% CI, 1.17-1.32) and CVD mortality (HR 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04-1.31) increased with each FIB-4 SD increase after adjusting for all covariates. However, except for myocardial infarction, FIB-4 had no significant effect on the incidence of the other three CVD subtypes (congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and angina pectoris). In stratified analysis, we found that the effect of FIB-4 on CVD mortality was influenced by age, and FIB-4 is a risk factor for people older than 60 years (HR 1.14; 95% CI, 1.01-1.29).ConclusionUsing data from NHANES 1999-2008, FIB-4 was found to be associated with all-cause and CVD mortality in the diabetic population, and this association was significantly affected by age. However, FIB-4 only affected the incidence of myocardial infarction. Future work should investigate the association between FIB-4 and CVD in the diabetic population.
