Associations between questionnaires on lifestyle and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in a Japanese general population: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to investigate the association between questionnaires related to lifestyle habits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD).

Design

Cross-sectional observational study.

Settings

Community-based medical checkups, called specific health checkups started in Japan since 2008. This checkup includes standard medical examinations as well as a specific questionnaire related to lifestyle habits.

Participants

Overall, 47,842 subjects (males = 16,913, 35.4%) aged ?40 years who underwent a Japanese specific health checkup in 2014 in Kanazawa city were included.

Main outcome measures

Association between 12 lifestyle habits-related questionnaires and the presence of ASCVD, including coronary artery disease and stroke. The questionnaire included the following 12 questions on lifestyle habits: 1) weight gain (>10 kg/20 years), 2) exercise (>30 min, twice a week, >1 year), 3) daily walking or equivalent (>1 h), 4) walking faster (than others in the same generation), 5) body weight changes (>3 kg/year), 6) eating faster (than others in the same generation), 7) eating within 2 h before going to bed (more than three times a week), 8) having a snack after dinner (more than three times a week), 9) skipping breakfast (more than three times a week), 10) daily drinking (alcohol), 11) heavy drinking (more than 60 g ethanol/day), and 12) good sleeping.

Results

Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that walking faster (odds ratio [OR] = 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.69-0.79, p < 0.0003), body weight changes (>3 kg/year, OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.16-1.37, p < 0.0003), eating faster (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.03-1.15, p = 0.003), daily drinking (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.76-0.89, p < 0.0003), and good sleeping (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.79-0.93, p < 0.0003) were independently associated with ASCVD. Subjects with a high lifestyle habits risk score (number of bad habits: 7-12) had significantly higher odds for ASCVD than those with a low risk score (number of bad habits: 0-3, OR = 1.78, 95%CI = 1.62-1.95, p < 0.0003).

Conclusion

Simple questionnaires related to lifestyle habits were associated with self-reported ASCVD.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the association between multiple lifestyle-related risk factors (unhealthy diet, low leisure-time physical activity, overweight/obesity and smoking) and self-rated work ability in a general working population.SettingPopulation-based cross-sectional study, in Telemark County, Norway, 2013.ParticipantsA random sample of 50?000 subjects was invited to answer a self-administered questionnaire and 16?099 responded. Complete data on lifestyle and work ability were obtained for 10?355 participants aged 18-50 years all engaged in paid work during the preceding 12 months.Outcome measureWork ability was assessed using the Work Ability Score (WAS)-the first question in the Work Ability Index. To study the association between multiple lifestyle risk factors and work ability, a lifestyle risk index was constructed and relationships examined using multiple logistic regression analysis.ResultsLow work ability was more likely among subjects with an unhealthy diet (ORadj 1.3, 95%?CI 1.02 to 1.5), inactive persons (ORadj 1.4, 95%?CI 1.2 to 1.6), obese respondents (ORadj 1.5, 95%?CI 1.3 to 1.7) and former and current smokers (ORadj 1.2, 95%?CI 1.1 to 1.4 and 1.3, 95%?CI 1.2 to 1.5, respectively). An additive relationship was observed between the lifestyle risk index and the likelihood of decreased work ability (moderate-risk score: ORadj 1.3; 95% CI 1.1 to 1.6; high-risk score: ORadj 1.9; 95% CI 1.6 to 2.2; very high risk score: ORadj 2.4; 95% CI 1.9 to 3.0). The overall population attributable fraction (PAF) of low work ability based on the overall risk index was 38%, while the PAFs of physical activity, smoking, body mass index and diet were 16%, 11%, 11% and 6%, respectively.ConclusionsLifestyle risk factors were associated with low work ability. An additive relationship was observed. The findings are considered relevant to occupational intervention programmes aimed at prevention and improvement of decreased work ability.

Project description:BackgroundIdiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are associated with systemic inflammation, limited mobility, and glucocorticoid therapy, all of which can lead to metabolism disturbances, atherogenesis, and increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. The aim of this study was to assess the CV risk in IIM patients and healthy controls (HC), and its association with disease-specific features.MethodsThirty nine patients with IIM (32 females; mean age 56; mean disease duration 4.8 years; dermatomyositis: n = 16, polymyositis: n = 7, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy: n = 8, anti-synthetase syndrome: n = 8) and 39 age-/sex-matched HC (32 females, mean age 56) without rheumatic diseases were included. In both groups, subjects with a history of CV disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial vascular events) were excluded. Muscle involvement, disease activity, and tissue damage were evaluated (Manual Muscle Test-8, Myositis Intention to Treat Activity Index, Myositis Damage Index). Comorbidities and current treatment were recorded. All participants underwent examinations of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and body composition (by densitometry and bioelectric impedance). The risk of fatal CV events was evaluated by the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE, charts for the European population) and its modifications.ResultsCompared to HC, there was no significant difference in IIM patients regarding blood pressure, ABI, PWV, CIMT, and the risk of fatal CV events by SCORE or SCORE2, or subclinical atherosclerosis (CIMT, carotid plaques, ABI, and PWV). The calculated CV risk scores by SCORE, SCORE2, and SCORE multiplied by the coefficient 1.5 (mSCORE) were reclassified according to the results of carotid plaque presence and CIMT; however, none of them was demonstrated to be significantly more accurate. Other significant predictors of CV risk in IIM patients included age, disease duration and activity, systemic inflammation, lipid profile, lean body mass, and blood pressure.ConclusionsNo significant differences in CV risk factors between our IIM patients and HC were observed. However, in IIM, CV risk was associated with age, disease duration, duration of glucocorticoid therapy, lipid profile, and body composition. None of the currently available scoring tools (SCORE, SCORE2, mSCORE) used in this study seems more accurate in estimating CV risk in IIM.
