Association between plasma retinol levels and the risk of all-cause mortality in general hypertensive patients: A nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the association between plasma retinol levels with all-cause mortality and investigate the possible effect modifiers in general hypertensive patients with no previous cardiovascular disease (CVD). This case-control study was nested in the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT), a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial conducted in 32 communities in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in China. The current study included 617 cases of all-cause mortality and 617 controls matched on age (≤1 year), sex, treatment group, and study site. All-cause mortality was the main outcome in this analysis, which included death due to any reason. The median follow-up duration was 4.5 years. Overall, there was a U-shaped relation of plasma retinol with all-cause mortality. In the threshold effect analysis, the risk of all-cause mortality significantly decreased with the increase in plasma retinol (per 10 μg/dL increments: OR, 0.73; 95% CI: 0.61-0.87) in participants with plasma retinol <58.3 μg/dL and increased with the increase in plasma retinol (per 10 μg/dL increments: OR, 1.08; 95% CI: 1.01-1.16) in those with plasma retinol ≥58.3 μg/L. In participants with plasma retinol <58.3 μg/dL, a stronger inverse association was observed in those with higher time-averaged SBP (≥140 vs <140 mm Hg; P-interaction = .034), or higher vitamin E levels (≥11.5 [quartile 4]; vs <11.5 μg/mL; P-interaction = .013). The present study demonstrated that there was a U-shaped relationship of plasma retinol levels with the risk of all-cause mortality in general hypertensive patients, with a turning point around 58.3 μg/dL.

Project description:BackgroundSerum choline levels were associated with multiple chronic diseases. However, the association between serum choline and all-cause mortality in Chinese adults with hypertension remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between serum choline concentrations and all-cause mortality risk in Chinese adults with hypertension, a high-risk population.MethodsA nested, case-control study was conducted that included 279 patients with all-cause death, and 279 matched, living controls, derived from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT). Baseline serum choline concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of serum choline levels and all-cause mortality risk, with adjustment of pertinent covariables, including folic acid and homocysteine.ResultsThe median age of all participants was 64.13 years [interquartile range (IQR), 57.33-70.59 years]. The median serum choline concentration for cases (9.51 μg/mL) was higher than that in controls (7.80 μg/mL) (P = 0.009). When serum choline concentration was assessed as a continuous variable (per SD increased), there was a positive relation between serum choline levels and all-cause mortality risk [odds ratios (OR), 1.29; 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), 1.06-1.57; P = 0.010]. There was an increased all-cause mortality risk for participants in quartiles 2-4 (≥ 4.00 μg/mL; OR, 1.79; 95%CI, 1.15-2.78 compared with quartile 1 (< 4.00 μg/mL). In addition, non-drinking was found to promote the incidence of all-cause mortality for those with high choline concentrations.ConclusionsHigh serum choline concentrations were associated with increased all-cause mortality risk among Chinese adults with hypertension, compared to lower choline concentrations.

Project description:BackgroundSerine plays a key role in numerous cellular processes, the levels and metabolism is therefore of critical importance. However, few data are available to illustrate the association of serine with long-term health effects, especially, the predictive value for long-term mortality.ObjectiveThis study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between serum serine levels and all-cause mortality in general hypertensive patients in a longitudinal cohort, and to examine the potential effect modifiers.MethodsA nested case-control (NCC) study was conducted utilizing 20702 hypertensive participants from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT), a randomized, double-blind, actively controlled trial conducted from May 2008 to August 2013 in China. The current study included 291 cases of all-cause mortality and 291 controls matched on age (≤ 1 year), sex and treatment group. All-cause mortality was the main outcome in this analysis, which included death due to any reason.ResultsWith the increase in serum serine levels, the risk of all-cause mortality first increased before flattening. After adjusting for related variables, the risk of mortality increased significantly with the increase of serum serine levels. Compared with group Q1, the mortality risk of group Q2, Q3 and Q4 were significantly increased [ORs, 95% CI: Q2: 2.32, (1.32-4.07); Q3: 2.59, (1.48-4.54); and Q4: 1.85, (1.07-3.22)]. In the exploratory analysis, we observed three effect modifiers, total homocysteine, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, and estimated glomerular filtration rate significantly modified the serum serine and all-cause mortality association.ConclusionSerum serine levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients. Our results and findings, if confirmed further, suggest that serum serine should be considered as a marker for screening risk factors of mortality.Clinical trial registration[https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT00794885.], identifier [CSPPT, NCT00794885].
