Associations between Healthy Lifestyle and All-Cause Mortality in Individuals with Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

There is limited evidence about the association of healthy lifestyle and all-cause mortality in individuals with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We aimed to examine this association and compare it with the association in those without MAFLD.

Methods

A prospective cohort study was performed and linked mortality data through 2019 in the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1999-2010). A healthy lifestyle score was constructed from cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, healthy eating score, and leisure-time physical activity. Risk stratification was conducted in participants with MAFLD by fibrosis biomarkers and liver enzymes. Survey-weight adjusted Cox regression was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality associated with healthy lifestyle.

Results

There was a protective association between healthy lifestyle and all-cause mortality in participants with MAFLD (HR per 1-unit increase of healthy lifestyle score 0.77 [95% CI 0.69-0.85]), with no difference from the association in participants without MAFLD (HR 0.77 [0.72-0.82]). In participants with MAFLD, the associations tended to be stronger in those with lower risk of advanced fibrosis (HR per 1-unit increase of healthy lifestyle score 0.64 [0.50-0.79] for low NAFLD fibrosis score [NFS] and 0.84 [0.75-0.93] for high NFS, p-value for interaction 0.02), but did not differ by liver enzymes. The results for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) mirrored those for MAFLD.

Conclusions

Healthy lifestyle showed protective associations with all-cause mortality regardless of MAFLD status, and the associations tended to be stronger in those with lower risk of advanced fibrosis. Timely lifestyle modification matters for individuals with MAFLD.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a lack of evidence on whether combined lifestyle factors mediate the association between family income and all-cause mortality, as well as the joint relations between family income and lifestyle factors with mortality.MethodsUsing data on family income and lifestyle factors of participants in the US National Health Interview Survey 2016-2018, we performed multivariable logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association of all-cause mortality with said data.ResultsWe included 73 729 participants with a mean age of 47.1 years (standard deviation (SD) = 18.0), 51% of whom were women and 65% of whom were non-Hispanic Whites. There were 2284 deaths documented. After multivariable adjustment, middle-income participants had an OR of 0.73 (95% CI = 0.61-0.88) for mortality, while high-income participants had an OR of 0.47 (95% CI = 0.37-0.60) compared with low-income participants. We found that lower all-cause mortality was related to higher lifestyle scores. Adults from high-income families with lifestyle scores of 3 and 4 had an OR for mortality of 0.44 (95% CI = 0.30-0.65) compared to those from low-income families and lifestyle scores of 0 or 1. When comparing those in highest vs lowest income groups in the mediation analysis, 9.8% (95% CI = 7.4-13.0) of the relation for all-cause mortality was mediated by lifestyles. Adults from high-income families with lifestyle scores of 3 or 4 had an OR of 0.23 (95% CI = 0.17-0.33) for mortality compared with those from low-income families and lifestyle scores of 0 or 1.ConclusionsA lower risk of all-cause mortality was linked to higher family income and healthier lifestyles. Furthermore, lifestyle factors mediated a small proportion of the association between family income and mortality among US adults. Economic disparity in health may not be eliminated by changing only one's lifestyle. Therefore, besides promoting a healthy lifestyle, we should stress how family income inequality affects health outcomes.

Project description:Background: Lifestyles generally change across the life course yet no prospective study has examined direct associations between healthy lifestyle trajectories and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) or all-cause mortality risk. Methods: Healthy lifestyle score trajectories during 2006-2007, 2008-2009, and 2010-2011 were collated through latent mixture modeling. An age-scale based Cox proportional hazard regression model was implemented to calculate hazard ratios (HR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for developing CVD or all-cause mortality across healthy lifestyle trajectories. Results: 52,248 participants were included with four distinct trajectories identified according to healthy lifestyle scores over 6 years i.e., low-stable (n = 11,248), high-decreasing (n = 7,374), low-increasing (n = 7,828), and high-stable (n = 25,799). Compared with the low-stable trajectory, the high-stable trajectory negatively correlated with lower subsequent risk of developing CVD (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.65-0.81), especially stroke (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.62-0.79), and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80-0.99) under a multivariable-adjusted model. A protective effect for CVD events was observed only in men and in those without diabetes, while a reduced risk of all-cause mortality was observed only in those older than 60 years, though interactions were not statistically significant. Marginally significant interactions were observed between the changing body mass index (BMI) group, healthy lifestyle score trajectories and stratified analysis. This highlighted an inverse correlation between the high-stable trajectory and CVD in BMI decreased and stable participants as well as all-cause mortality in the stable BMI group. The low-increasing trajectory also had reduced risk of CVD only when BMI decreased and in all-cause mortality only when BMI was stable. Conclusions: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle over 6 years corresponds with a 27% lower risk of CVD and an 11% lower risk in all-cause mortality, compared with those engaging in a consistently unhealthy lifestyle. The benefit of improving lifestyle could be gained only after BMI change is considered further. This study provides further evidence from China around maintaining/improving healthy lifestyles to prevent CVD and early death.

Project description:BackgroundThe impact of integrated lifestyles on health has attracted a lot of attention. It remains unclear whether adherence to low-risk healthy lifestyle factors is protective in individuals with metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome-like characteristics. We aimed to explore whether and to what extent overall lifestyle scores mitigate the risk of all-cause mortality in individuals with metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome-like characteristics.MethodsIn total, 6934 participants from the 2007 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. The weighted healthy lifestyle score was constructed based on smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet, sleep duration, and sedentary behavior information. Generalized linear regression models and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the association between healthy lifestyle scores and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Compared to participants with relatively low healthy lifestyle scores, the risk ratio (RR) in the middle healthy lifestyle score group was 0.51 (RR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.30-0.88), and the high score group was 0.26 (RR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.15-0.48) in the population with metabolic syndrome. The difference in gender persists. In females, the RRs of the middle and high score groups were 0.47 (RR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.96) and 0.21 (RR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.09-0.46), respectively. In males, by contrast, the protective effect of a healthy lifestyle was more pronounced in the high score group (RR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.13-0.83) and in females, the protective effects were found to be more likely. The protective effect of a healthy lifestyle on mortality was more pronounced in those aged < 65 years. Higher lifestyle scores were associated with more prominent protective effects, regardless of the presence of one metabolic syndrome factor or a combination of several factors in 15 groups. What's more, the protective effect of an emerging healthy lifestyle was more pronounced than that of a conventional lifestyle.ConclusionsAdherence to an emerging healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of all-cause mortality in people with metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome-like characteristics; the higher the score, the more obvious the protective effect. Our study highlights lifestyle modification as a highly effective nonpharmacological approach that deserves further generalization.

Project description:BackgroundThe newly described inflammatory burden index (IBI) reflects a patient's inflammatory burden. This study aimed to estimate the association between IBI, osteoarthritis (OA), and all-cause mortality in patients with OA.MethodsWe extracted the data of adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database between 1999 and 2018. After using appropriate survey weights to correct for sample bias, we conducted multivariate logistic regression analyses to explore the association between IBI and OA across three models: in the unadjusted model, partially adjusted model (adjusting age, sex, race, education level, marital status, PIR, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, stroke, CVD, DM, and hypertension) and fully adjusted model (which included additional variables: HBA1C, ALT, AST, BUN, TC, and HDL). And the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Similarly, using comparable survey weights and covariates adjustments, we employed Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to investigate the association between IBI and all-cause mortality in the other 3 models. The Cox proportional hazards regression models were fitted to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CI of the association between IBI and all-cause mortality. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to explore the nonlinear relationships between association effects. Subgroup analysis was performed to validate the reliability of their effects.ResultsIn total, 22,343 eligible participants were included. Multiple logistic regression models revealed that participants with the highest IBI had 2.54 times (95%CI, 2.23, 2.90)) higher risk of OA than those with the lowest IBI in Model 1, whereas the OR was 1.21 (95%CI, 1.03, 1.42) in Model 2 and 1.23 (95%CI,1.05, 1.45) in Model 3. Multiple Cox regression models showed participants with the highest IBI had 186% (95%CI, 1.50, 2.31) times risk of developing all-cause death than those with the lowest IBI in Model 1. This trend remained stable in Models 2 (HR,1.54; 95%CI,1.22, 1.95) and 3 (HR, 1.41; 95%CI, 1.10, 1.80). The RCS revealed a significant positive association between IBI and OA risk. With respect to the association between IBI and all-cause mortality, a slight decrease in mortality was observed from the lowest quartile to the second quartile of IBI, and the mortality risk increased with increasing IBI. Subgroup analyses showed that age, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension were pivotal in the association of IBI with all-cause mortality, whereas the association of IBI with OA remained stable after stratification by other factors such as sex, race, education level, marital, smoking, and drinking status, hypertension, and most serological indices.ConclusionsThis study provides evidence of a positive association between IBI, OA, and all-cause mortality. IBI may be a promising signature for assessing the inflammatory burden in patients with OA, which, in turn, is conducive to precise references for high-risk population recognition, anti-inflammatory guidance, and reducing mortality intervention.
