Hemoglobin A1c and Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality
… predictor of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in a multi-ethic population free of cardiovascular disease and diabetes at the baseline. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and the prevalence continues to rise globally. The …

An Analysis of All-Cause Mortality on Patients with Sickle Cell Disease and Kidney Disease using Propensity Score Matching
… analysis is reported in Chapter 2 concerning mortality for in-center dialysis patients with sickle cell disease to demonstrate the application of a general analysis strategy that has some logistical benefits over more traditional approaches to accounting for confounding variables. We also …

Can cied-derived physical activity provide as a biomarker to predict all-cause-mortality? validation of previous predictive modelling approaches.
… levels lacks external validation when predicting mortality. The primary aim was to investigate the relationship between CIED-derived PA and all-cause mortality. The secondary aim was to replicate and externally validate predictive models incorporating PA to evaluate their performance in predicting …

Association of Binge Drinking and Resting Heart Rate with All-Cause and Cardiovascular Diseases Mortality in Older Men: The Kangwha Cohort Study
… of binge drinking and resting heart rate on mortality has rarely been assessed. In this study, the combined effect of binge drinking and resting heart rate on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older Korean men has been assessed. Furthermore, the potential modifying effect of resting …

Vegetarian Dietary Patterns: Mortality, Colorectal Cancer, and Food Consumption
… health outcomes of such diets, particularly for all-cause mortality and colorectal cancer risk, have yielded inconsistent results. We sought to examine these outcomes (mortality and colorectal cancer incidence) in a large North-American cohort. We also sought to further characterize potentially …

Mediterranean diet, cardiovascular health and longevity: Strategies to improve the assessment and interpretation of this dietary pattern in nutritional epidemiology
… the Mediterranean diet, could reduce the risk of mortality and CVD across the life course. However, its epidemiological instrumentation needs to be contextualized and adapted to local cultures. Moreover, there is evidence that typical dairy products should be disaggregated in the MDS due to …

Association of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Use with Kidney and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients
… amongst stable KTRs. Primary outcomes include all-cause mortality, major adverse kidney events (MAKE), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Among stable KTRs, GLP-1RA users show reduced risk for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-0.62) …

Central arterial stiffness is associated with cognitive decline and cardiovascular disease manifestation in cancer survivors in the Framingham Heart Study
… cognitive impairment (MCI), CVD diagnosis, and all-cause mortality have been previously established in the general population. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the association between arterial stiffness and cognitive decline among cancer survivors. Hypothesis – We hypothesized that …
