Dataset Information

Dietary selenium intake and mortality in two population-based cohort studies of 133 957 Chinese men and women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the potential influence of dietary Se intake on mortality among Chinese populations.

Design

We prospectively evaluated all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality risks associated with dietary Se intake in participants of the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS) and the Shanghai Men's Health study (SMHS). Dietary Se intake was assessed by validated FFQ during in-person interviews. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % CI.

Setting

Urban city in China.

Subjects

Chinese adults (n 133 957).

Results

During an average follow-up of 13·90 years in the SWHS and 8·37 years in the SMHS, 5749 women and 4217 men died. The mean estimated dietary Se intake was 45·48 μg/d for women and 51·34 μg/d for men, respectively. Dietary Se intake was inversely associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in both women and men, with respective HR for the highest compared with the lowest quintile being 0·79 (95 % CI 0·71, 0·88; P trend<0·0001) and 0·80 (95 % CI 0·66, 0·98; P trend=0·0268) for women, and 0·79 (95 % CI 0·70, 0·89; P trend=0·0001) and 0·66 (95 % CI 0·54, 0·82; P trend=0·0002) for men. No significant associations were observed for cancer mortality in both women and men. Results were similar in subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions

Dietary Se intake was inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in both sexes, but not cancer mortality.

Project description:ImportanceHigher intake of whole grains has been associated with a lower risk of major chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD), although limited prospective evidence exists regarding whole grains' association with mortality.ObjectiveTo examine the association between dietary whole grain consumption and risk of mortality.Design, setting, and participantsWe investigated 74 341 women from the Nurses' Health Study (1984-2010) and 43 744 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986-2010), 2 large prospective cohort studies. All patients were free of CVD and cancer at baseline.Main outcomes and measuresHazard ratios (HRs) for total mortality and mortality due to CVD and cancer according to quintiles of whole grain consumption, which was updated every 2 or 4 years by using validated food frequency questionnaires.ResultsWe documented 26 920 deaths during 2 727 006 person-years of follow-up. After multivariate adjustment for potential confounders, including age, smoking, body mass index, physical activity, and modified Alternate Healthy Eating Index score, higher whole grain intake was associated with lower total and CVD mortality but not cancer mortality: the pooled HRs for quintiles 1 through 5, respectively, of whole grain intake were 1 (reference), 0.99 (95% CI, 0.95-1.02), 0.98 (95% CI, 0.95-1.02), 0.97 (95% CI, 0.93-1.01), and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88-0.95) for total mortality (P fortrend < .001); 1 (reference), 0.94 (95% CI, 0.88-1.01), 0.94 (95% CI, 0.87-1.01), 0.87 (95% CI, 0.80-0.94), and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.78-0.92) for CVD mortality (P fortrend < .001); and 1 (reference), 1.02 (95% CI, 0.96-1.08), 1.05 (95% CI, 0.99-1.12), 1.04 (95% CI, 0.98-1.11), and 0.97 (95% CI, 0.91-1.04) for cancer mortality (P fortrend = .43). We further estimated that every serving (28 g/d) of whole grain consumption was associated with a 5% (95% CI, 2%-7%) lower total morality or a 9% (95% CI, 4%-13%) lower CVD mortality, whereas the same intake level was nonsignificantly associated with lower cancer mortality (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.94-1.02). Similar inverse associations were observed between bran intake and CVD mortality, with a pooled HR of 0.80 (95% CI, 0.73-0.87; P fortrend < .001), whereas germ intake was not associated with CVD mortality after adjustment for bran intake.Conclusions and relevanceThese data indicate that higher whole grain consumption is associated with lower total and CVD mortality in US men and women, independent of other dietary and lifestyle factors. These results are in line with recommendations that promote increased whole grain consumption to facilitate disease prevention.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine whether high milk consumption is associated with mortality and fractures in women and men.DesignCohort studies.SettingThree counties in central Sweden.ParticipantsTwo large Swedish cohorts, one with 61,433 women (39-74 years at baseline 1987-90) and one with 45,339 men (45-79 years at baseline 1997), were administered food frequency questionnaires. The women responded to a second food frequency questionnaire in 1997.Main outcome measureMultivariable survival models were applied to determine the association between milk consumption and time to mortality or fracture.ResultsDuring a mean follow-up of 20.1 years, 15,541 women died and 17,252 had a fracture, of whom 4259 had a hip fracture. In the male cohort with a mean follow-up of 11.2 years, 10,112 men died and 5066 had a fracture, with 1166 hip fracture cases. In women the adjusted mortality hazard ratio for three or more glasses of milk a day compared with less than one glass a day was 1.93 (95% confidence interval 1.80 to 2.06). For every glass of milk, the adjusted hazard ratio of all cause mortality was 1.15 (1.13 to 1.17) in women and 1.03 (1.01 to 1.04) in men. For every glass of milk in women no reduction was observed in fracture risk with higher milk consumption for any fracture (1.02, 1.00 to 1.04) or for hip fracture (1.09, 1.05 to 1.13). The corresponding adjusted hazard ratios in men were 1.01 (0.99 to 1.03) and 1.03 (0.99 to 1.07). In subsamples of two additional cohorts, one in males and one in females, a positive association was seen between milk intake and both urine 8-iso-PGF2α (a biomarker of oxidative stress) and serum interleukin 6 (a main inflammatory biomarker).ConclusionsHigh milk intake was associated with higher mortality in one cohort of women and in another cohort of men, and with higher fracture incidence in women. Given the observational study designs with the inherent possibility of residual confounding and reverse causation phenomena, a cautious interpretation of the results is recommended.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine the association of consumption of dairy foods with risk of total and cause specific mortality in women and men.DesignThree prospective cohort studies with repeated measures of diet and lifestyle factors.SettingNurses' Health Study, Nurses' Health Study II, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, in the United States.Participants168 153 women and 49 602 men without cardiovascular disease or cancer at baseline.Main outcome measureDeath confirmed by state vital records, the national death index, or reported by families and the postal system. During up to 32 years of follow-up, 51 438 deaths were documented, including 12 143 cardiovascular deaths and 15 120 cancer deaths. Multivariable analysis further adjusted for family history of cardiovascular disease and cancer, physical activity, overall dietary pattern (alternate healthy eating index 2010), total energy intake, smoking status, alcohol consumption, menopausal status (women only), and postmenopausal hormone use (women only).ResultsCompared to the lowest category of total dairy consumption (average 0.8 servings/day), the multivariate pooled hazard ratio for total mortality was 0.98 (95% confidence interval 0.96 to 1.01) for the second category of dairy consumption (average 1.5 servings/day), 1.00 (0.97 to 1.03) for the third (average 2.0 servings/day), 1.02 (0.99 to 1.05) for the fourth (average 2.8 servings/day), and 1.07 (1.04 to 1.10) for highest category (average 4.2 servings/day; P for trend <0.001). For the highest compared to the lowest category of total dairy consumption, the hazard ratio was 1.02 (0.95 to 1.08) for cardiovascular mortality and 1.05 (0.99 to 1.11) for cancer mortality. For subtypes of dairy products, whole milk intake was significantly associated with higher risks of total mortality (hazard ratio per 0.5 additional serving/day 1.11, 1.09 to 1.14), cardiovascular mortality (1.09, 1.03 to 1.15), and cancer mortality (1.11, 1.06 to 1.17). In food substitution analyses, consumption of nuts, legumes, or whole grains instead of dairy foods was associated with a lower mortality, whereas consumption of red and processed meat instead of dairy foods was associated with higher mortality.ConclusionThese data from large cohorts do not support an inverse association between high amount of total dairy consumption and risk of mortality. The health effects of dairy could depend on the comparison foods used to replace dairy. Slightly higher cancer mortality was non-significantly associated with dairy consumption, but warrants further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundIron metabolism disorders significantly increase the risk of diabetes and its related complications by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, and disturbances in glucose and lipid metabolism. However, whether dietary iron intake can influence progression of diabetes remains unclear. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between total iron, heme iron, and non-heme iron intake and diabetes, CVD, and all-cause mortality among men and women with diabetes in the U.S. population.MethodsA total of 4416 adults with diabetes(2415 men and 2001 women) from the NHANES 2003-2014 were enrolled. Dietary information was collected by 24-h dietary recall during two nonconsecutive days. Dietary total iron intake was measured based on the dietary survey. Dietary heme iron intake was calculated based on its proportion in dietary total iron intake from each food. non-heme iron is the difference between total iron and heme iron. Diabetes, CVD, and all-cause mortality status were identified as main outcomes. Cox models and RCS analysis were performed to estimate the hazard ratios and 95%CIs.ResultsFor men, the participants with a higher dietary heme iron intake were associated with higher risks of CVD (HRheme iron = 1.61,95%CI:1.03-2.51) and all-cause mortality (HRheme iron = 1.42,95%CI:1.10-1.83). For women, participants in the highest quartile of dietary total/heme/non-heme iron intake had a higher diabetes mortality risk ((HRtotal iron = 2.33,95%CI:1.24-4.38; HRheme iron = 1.87,95%CI:1.00-3.49; HRnon-heme iron = 2.28,95%CI:1.19-4.39), compared to those in the lowest quartile. Additionally, the dose-response curve for the relationship between dietary non-heme iron intake and CVD mortality followed a reverse J-shape in women with diabetes.ConclusionsHigher dietary heme iron intake was associated with an increased CVD mortality risk in both men and women with diabetes. Additionally, higher dietary total, heme, and non-heme iron intake was linked to an increased risk of diabetes mortality among women with diabetes. Therefore, women with diabetes should pay more attention on the overconsumption of any type of dietary iron.
