Association between Osteoporosis and Low Hemoglobin Levels: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

ABSTRACT: An association between anemia and an increased risk of osteoporosis has been suggested. The goal of this study was to estimate the association of hemoglobin (Hb) level with osteoporosis. A total of 69,760 osteoporosis patients aged ≥ 40 years old from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort were enrolled. From an identical cohort database, 69,760 comparison participants were randomly selected. Hb levels before the onset of osteoporosis were evaluated. The association of Hb level with osteoporosis was analyzed using a conditional logistic regression model adjusted for obesity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and the Charlson comorbidity index score. Fifteen percent of the osteoporosis group and 14.17% of the comparison group had anemia. The Hb level was associated with 0.98-fold lower odds for osteoporosis (95% confidence intervals = 0.97-0.99, p < 0.001). A low Hb level was associated with a high risk of osteoporosis in the adult population. There was a consistent association between a low Hb level and osteoporosis in patients with comorbidities.

Acrylamide hemoglobin adduct levels and ovarian cancer risk: a nested case-control study.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen formed during cooking of starchy foods. Two large prospective cohort studies of dietary acrylamide intake and ovarian cancer risk observed a positive association, although two other studies reported no association. METHODS:We measured acrylamide exposure using red blood cell acrylamide and glycidamide hemoglobin adducts among women in two large prospective cohorts: the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II. Between blood collection and 2010, we identified 263 incident cases of epithelial ovarian cancer, matching two controls per case. We used logistic regression models to examine the association between acrylamide exposure and ovarian cancer risk, adjusting for matching factors, family history of ovarian cancer, tubal ligation, oral contraceptive use, body mass index, parity, alcohol intake, smoking, physical activity, and caffeine intake. RESULTS:The multivariate-adjusted relative risk (RR) of ovarian cancer comparing the highest versus lowest tertile of total acrylamide adducts was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.50-1.24, P trend = 0.08). The comparable RR of ovarian cancer among non-smokers at blood draw was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.57-1.27, P trend = 0.14). The association did not differ by tumor histology (serous invasive versus not), P for heterogeneity = 0.86. Individual adduct types (acrylamide or glycidamide) were not associated with risk. CONCLUSIONS:We observed no evidence that acrylamide exposure as measured by adducts to hemoglobin is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. IMPACT:Our finding indicates that acrylamide intake may not increase risk of ovarian cancer.

The Association between Anemia and Parkinson's Disease: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:(1) Background: Controversy exists regarding the relationship between anemia and Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to evaluate the risk of PD related to anemia in the Korean population. (2) Methods: The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, which includes adults over 40 years of age, was assessed from 2002 to 2015. A total of 5844 PD patients were matched by age, sex, income, and region of residence with 23,376 control participants at a ratio of 1:4. The analyzed covariates included age, sex, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, obesity, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted for case-control analyses. (3) Results: The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the risk of PD associated with anemia was 1.09 after adjusting for potential confounders (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.18, p = 0.030). Among men younger than 70 years, the adjusted OR of PD was 1.34 (95% CI 1.13-1.60, p = 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Our findings suggest that anemia may increase the risk of PD, particularly in men younger than 70 years. Further research is required to elucidate the causal relationship between these two diseases.

Association between Previous Statin Use and Alzheimer's Disease: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:A number of studies report the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients taking statins, but the results are inconsistent. (1) Background: The present study investigated the cross-sectional association between previous statin use and the risk of AD development in Korean residents. (2) Methods: We used the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort; 17,172 AD patients were matched by age, gender, income, and region of residence with 68,688 control participants at a ratio of 1:4. We used a multiple conditional logistic regression model to analyse the association between the number of days of statin use and AD occurrence. Further analyses were performed to identify whether this association is maintained for different ages, genders, socioeconomic status groups, and covariates. (3) Results: The odds ratio, which was adjusted for potential confounders, for the days of statin use per year in the AD group compared to the control group was 0.95 (95% confidence interval = 0.92-0.98; p = 0.003). The number of days of statin use in the AD group was significantly smaller in the subgroups of non-smokers and individuals with normal weight, alcohol consumption less than once a week, total cholesterol level below 200 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure below 140, diastolic blood pressure below 90, and fasting blood glucose below 100 mg/dL. (4) Conclusions: Our results suggest that statin use prevents the occurrence of AD. The effects of statin use in preventing AD may be greater in individuals at relatively low risk.

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Associated with Nutritional Anemia: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:Previous studies have suggested an association of anemia with hearing loss. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of nutritional anemia with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), as previous studies in this aspect are lacking. We analyzed data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort 2002-2015. Patients with SSNHL (n = 9393) were paired with 37,572 age-, sex-, income-, and region of residence-matched controls. Both groups were assessed for a history of nutritional anemia. Conditional logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence interval, CI) for a previous diagnosis of nutritional anemia and for the hemoglobin level in patients with SSNHL. Subgroup analyses were conducted for age and sex. Age, sex, income, and region of residence were stratified. Obesity, smoking, drinking alcohol, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index were considered in the regression models. Nutritional anemia was present in 4.8% (449/9393) of patients with SSNHL and 4.0% (1494/37,572) of controls (p < 0.001). The SSNHL group demonstrated 1.20-fold higher odds for nutritional anemia (95% CI = 1.08-1.34, p = 0.001). Hemoglobin levels were not associated with SSNHL. In subgroups <60 years old, there was a consistent positive association of nutritional anemia with SSNHL (adjusted OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.11-2.15, p = 0.010 for men <60 years old, and adjusted OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.02-1.45, p = 0.028 for women <60 years old). Nutritional anemia, but not hemoglobin level, was associated with an increased risk of SSNHL.

Bell's palsy and obesity, alcohol consumption and smoking: A nested case-control study using a national health screening cohort.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the association of body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption, and smoking status with the occurrence of Bell's palsy. The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort of a ≥ 40-year-old population from 2000-2003 was used. A total of 5,632 Bell's palsy participants were matched with 22,528 control participants in terms of age, sex, income, region of residence, and past medical histories of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Bell's palsy was classified by a history of ≥2 diagnoses with ICD-10 code (G510) and steroid treatment. BMI (kg/m2) was classified as <18.5 (underweight), ≥18.5 to <23 (normal), ≥23 to <25 (overweight), ≥25 to <30 (obese I), and ≥30 (obese II). Alcohol consumption was divided into non-drinkers and those who drank 2-3 times a month, 1-2 times a week, and ≥3 times a week. Smoking status was categorized as current smokers, past smokers, and non-smokers. The odds of obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking with Bell's palsy were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. BMI showed proportionally positive associations with Bell's palsy (adjusted OR [95% CI] = 0.61 [0.47-0.79] for underweight, 1.16 [1.08-1.26] for normal, 1.24 [1.15-1.33] for obese I, and 1.61 [1.38-1.88] for obese II, P < 0.001). The odds of alcohol consumption with Bell's palsy were 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.82-0.99) for 2-3 times a month, 0.77 (95% CI = 0.69-0.85) for 1-2 times a week, and 0.79 (95% CI = 0.71-0.88) for ≥3 times a week compared to nondrinkers (P < 0.001). Smoking did not show a relationship with the occurrence of Bell's palsy. Obesity was related to the risk of Bell's palsy in the population over 40 years old. On the other hand, alcohol consumption was negatively associated with the occurrence of Bell's palsy.

Association between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Meniere's Disease: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:This study explored the relation between Ménière's disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The ≥40-year-old population of the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort was included. In total, 7734 Ménière's disease patients and 30,936 control participants were enrolled. Control participants were matched for age, sex, income, and region of residence with Ménière's disease participants. The odds of having Ménière's disease given a history of COPD were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age, sex, income, and region of residence. The odds of having Ménière's disease were found to be 1.18-fold higher with a history of COPD than with no history of COPD (95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.06-1.32, E-value (CI) = 1.64 (1.31)). The ≥60 years old, male, low-income, and rural subgroups showed increased odds of developing Ménière's disease when a history of COPD was reported. A history of COPD was associated with an increased risk of Ménière's disease in the adult population.

Association between Statin Use and Gastric Cancer: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort in Korea.

Project description:Concerns about the hazards of statins on the development and mortality of stomach cancers remain controversial. Here, we investigated the likelihood of incident gastric cancers and related mortality depending on statin exposure, statin type, and the duration of use. This nested case-control-designed study was composed of 8798 patients who were diagnosed with gastric cancer and matched with 35,192 controls at a 1:4 ratio based on propensity scores of age, sex, residential area, and income from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort database (2002-2015). Propensity score overlap weighting was adjusted to balance the baseline covariates. Overlap propensity score-weighted logistic regression analyses were assessed to determine associations of the prior use of statins (any statin, hydrophilic statins vs. lipophilic statins) with incident gastric cancer and its mortality depending on the medication duration (<180 days, 180-545 days, and >545 days) after adjusting for multiple covariates. After adjustment, the use of any statin, hydrophilic statins, or lipophilic statins showed significant associations with lower odds for incident stomach cancer when used for a short-term period (180-545 days) (OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.81-0.86, p = 0.002; OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.66-0.92, p = 0.004; and OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.84-0.99, p = 0.039, respectively) compared to the control group. Hydrophilic statin use for 180-545 days was associated with 53% lower overall mortality (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.29-0.77). In subgroup analyses, beneficial effects on both cancer development and mortality persisted in patients ≥65 years old, patients with normal blood pressure, and patients with high fasting glucose levels. There were no such associations with long-term statin use (>545 days). Thus, the current nationwide cohort study suggests that prior short-term statin use may have anti-gastric cancer benefits in elderly patients with hyperglycemia.

Association between Tooth Loss and Alzheimer's Disease in a Nested Case-Control Study Based on a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:Reports on the possible risks for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have included tooth loss as a potential risk factor. However, there are few studies addressing the association between tooth loss and AD in a large sample of participants. Accordingly, the objective of the current study was to explore the association of tooth loss with the development of AD in Korean adults. This nested case-control study, which is an analysis utilizing the data of the Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort study, randomly selected AD and control participants among Korean residents aged ≥60 years. The association between the number of missing teeth and AD occurrence was examined using a logistic regression model. Participants' lifestyle factors (smoking and alcohol consumption) and various medical conditions and comorbidities were included as covariates. The mean number of missing teeth was 2.94 in the AD group and 2.59 in the control group. After adjusting for covariates, tooth loss was significantly associated with AD, with an odds ratio (OR) (per 16 missing teeth) of 1.15 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.23, p < 0.001). Tooth loss remained consistently significantly associated with an increased risk of AD for both upper and lower tooth loss. A higher number of missing teeth was related to a higher probability of AD occurrence in an elderly Korean population. Efforts to manage tooth loss could be a possible approach to prevent AD.

Hemoglobin A<sub>1c</sub> levels and risk of sudden cardiac death: A nested case-control study.

Project description:BackgroundSudden cardiac death (SCD) is often the first manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and preventive strategies within this broad population are lacking. Patients with diabetes represent a high-risk subgroup, but few data exist regarding whether measures of glycemia mediate risk and/or add to SCD risk stratification.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and SCD.MethodsWe performed a case-control analysis among individuals enrolled in 6 prospective cohort studies. HbA1c levels were determined for 482 cases of SCD and 914 matched controls. Conditional logistic regression with fixed effects meta-analysis was used for analysis.ResultsIn multivariable models, HbA1c levels were linearly associated with SCD risk over follow-up of 11.3 years (P <.001). Each 1% increment in HbA1c was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-1.50). The magnitude of the association was greater in subjects without vs those with known CVD [HR per 1% increment 1.64 (95% CI 1.31-2.06) vs 1.15 (95% CI 0.99-1.33), P interaction = .009]. In models simultaneously controlling for diabetes status and HbA1c, the association between HbA1c and SCD remained significant (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.07-1.55, P = .01), whereas the association between diabetes and SCD was attenuated (relative risk 1.21, 95% CI 0.64-2.27, P = .56).ConclusionIn these prospective cohorts, HbA1c levels associated with SCD risk, particularly among those without known CVD, even after controlling for diabetes status. These data support the hypothesis that hyperglycemia mediates SCD risk among patients with diabetes.

Association between the Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Nested Case-Control Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.

Project description:We investigated the association of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use with the risk of stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening cohort from 2002 to 2003, the participants of which were followed up until 2019, was used. In study I, 45,905 participants who were diagnosed with stroke were matched with 91,810 control I participants. The history of PPI medication was examined. In study II, 40,928 participants who were diagnosed with IHD were matched with 81,856 control II participants. In both study I and study II, the previous history of PPI medication was examined. A propensity score overlap-weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the overlap-weighted odds ratios (ORs) of PPI use for stroke (study I) and IHD (study II). Current PPI use was linked with higher odds for stroke in study I. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 0.96 [95% CI = 0.92-1.00] < 1.55 [1.50-1.61] < 1.62 [1.57-1.68] for < 30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Previous PPI use was linked with higher odds for IHD in study II. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 1.13 [95% CI = 1.08-1.18] < 2.12 [2.04-2.21] < 2.60 [2.51-2.69] for <30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Current PPI medication is associated with a high risk of stroke and IHD. A longer duration of PPI medication was related to a higher risk of stroke and IHD. However, a prior history of PPI medication was not linked with a high risk of stroke or IHD.
