Inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP),interleukin 6 (IL- 6), soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor 2, soluble intercellular and vascular adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), and lipid biomarkers, including lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein B, have all been associated with cardiovascular disease. We previously found an association betweenAMD and CRP in a cross-sectional analysis, but the prospective relationships between AMD, CRP, and the other cardiovascular disease markers are unknown. Objective: To test the hypothesis that baseline cardiovascular disease biomarkers are associated with subsequent increased risk for progression ofAMD.Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective cohort study involved 251 participants aged 60 years and older who had some sign of nonexudative AMD and visual acuity of 20/200 or better in at least one eye at baseline. The AMD status was assessed by standardized grading of fundus photographs, and stored fasting blood specimens obtained at baseline were analyzed for levels of the various biomarkers. The average follow-up time was 4.6 years. Main Outcome Measures: Relationship between biomarkers and incidence rates of progression of AMD. Results: Comparing the highest quartile with the lowest quartile, CRP was associated with progression of AMD, with a multivariate adjusted relative risk (RR) of 2.10 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06- 4.18; P for trend, .046) controlling for body mass index, smoking, and other cardiovascular variables and a multivariate adjusted RR of 2.02 (95% CI, 1.00- 4.04; P for trend, .06) controlling additionally for antioxidant nutrients. Interleukin 6 was also related to progression of AMD, with a multivariate adjusted RR of 1.81 (95% CI, 0.97- 3.36; P for trend, .03). Comparing the highest quartile with the lowest quartile, the effect estimates for vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (multivariate adjusted RR, 1.94) and apolipo-proteinB (adjusted RR, 1.39) were in the positive direction but were not statistically significant (P for trend, .08 and .24, respectively). The CRP and IL- 6 levels were both significantly related to higher body mass index and current smoking. Conclusions: Higher levels of the systemic inflammatory markers CRP and IL- 6 are independently associated with progression of AMD.展开更多

Objective: To assess the association of drinking patterns an d beverage type with risk for ischemic stroke among men. Design: Prospective coh ort study. Setting: United States. Participants: 38156 male health professionals who were free of known cardiovascular disease or cancer at baseline in 1986. Me asurements: With a semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire, the autho rs individually ascertained consumption of regular and light beer, red and white wine, and liquor every 4 years. Alcohol consumption was categorized as light (0 .1 to 9.9 g/d, or < 1 drink daily), moderate (10.0 to 29.9 g/d, or 1 to 2 drinks daily), and heavier (≥ 30.0 g/d, or ≥ 3 drinks daily). Results: During a foll ow up period of 14 years, 412 cases of incident ischemic stroke were documente d. Compared with abstainers, light drinkers had a multivariate adjusted relati ve risk of 0.99 (95% CI, 0.72 to 1.37), moderate drinkers had a multivariate adjusted relative risk of 1.26 (CI, 0.90 to 1.76), and heavier drinkers had a m ultivariate adjusted relative risk of 1.42 (CI, 0.97 to 2.09; P =0.01 for tren d). Consumption of 10.0 to 29.9 g of alcohol per day on 3 to 4 days per week app eared to be associated with the lowest risk (relative risk, 0.68 [CI, 0.44 to 1. 05]). Red wine consumption was inversely associated with risk in a graded manner (P = 0.02 for trend), but other beverages were not. The apparently higher risk for ischemic stroke with heavier alcohol use appeared to be most pronounced for the embolic subtype. Limitations: This study had limited power to examine specif ic drinking patterns and heavy drinking and could not assess risk for hemorrhagi c stroke. Conclusions: In this sample of male health professionals, light and mo derate average alcohol use was generally not associated with an increased risk f or ischemic stroke, although drinking pattern and beverage type modified this re lation. Intake of more than 2 drinks per day may be associated with a higher ris k for ischemic stroke.展开更多

METHODS: Between 1995 and 2001, we evaluated cognitive function in 12,480 participants in the Nurses’ Health Study who were 70 to 81 years old, with follow- up assessments in 11,102 two years later. The level of alcohol consumption was ascertained regularly beginning in 1980. We calculated multivariate- adjusted mean cognitive scores and multivariate- adjusted risks of cognitive impairment (defined as the lowest 10 percent of the scores) and a substantial decline in cognitive function over time (defined as a change that was in the worst 10 percent of the distribution of the decline). We also stratified analyses according to the apolipoprotein E genotype in a subgroup of women. RESULTS: After multivariate adjustment, moderate drinkers (those who consumed less than 15.0 g of alcohol per day [about one drink]) had better mean cognitive scores than nondrinkers. Among moderate drinkers, as compared with nondrinkers, the relative risk of impairment was 0.77 on our test of general cognition (95 percent confidence interval, 0.67 to 0.88) and 0.81 on the basis of a global cognitive score combining the results of all tests (95 percent confidence interval, 0.70 to 0.93). The results for cognitive decline were similar; for example, on our test of general cognition, the relative risk of a substantial decline in performance over a two- year period was 0.85 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.98) among moderate drinkers, as compared with nondrinkers. There were no significant associations between higher levels of drinking (15.0 to 30.0 g per day) and the risk of cognitive impairment or decline. There were no significant differences in risks according to the beverage (e.g., wine or beer) and no interaction with the apolipoprotein E genotype. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that in women, up to one drink per day does not impair cognitive function and may actually decrease the risk of cognitive decline.展开更多

METHODS: Data for this retrospective cohort study were derived from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey (N=11,777). Association between abruption and these clinical risk factors was expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95%confidence interval (CI), with multivariate adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS: The overall incidence of abruption was 0.87%. The risk of abruption was 3.58-fold higher (95%CI 1.74-7.39)among women with preterm PROM (2.29%) compared with women with intact membranes (0.86%). The rates of abruption among women with and without intrauterine infection were 4.81%and 0.83%, respectively (RR 9.71, 95%CI 3.23-29.17). However, oligohydramnios was not associated with abruption (1.46%compared with 0.87%; RR 2.09, 95%CI 0.92-5.31). Compared with women with intact membranes, the RR for abruption among preterm PROM and whose membranes were ruptured for 24-47 hours and 48 hours or more before delivery, respectively, were 2.37 (95%CI 0.99-9.09), and 9.87 (95%CI 3.57-27.82). When preterm PROM was accompanied by intrauterine infections, the RR for abruption was 9.03 (95%CI 2.80-29.15) compared with women with intact membranes and no infections. Similarly, preterm PROM accompanied by oligohydramnios conferred over a 7.17-fold risk (95%CI 1.35-38.10) for abruption compared with women with neither of these 2 conditions. CONCLUSION: Women presenting with preterm PROM are at increased risk of developing abruption, with the risk being higher either in the presence of intrauterine infections or oligohydramnios. Physicians managing patients with preterm PROM should be aware that these patients are at increased risk of developing abruption after 24 hours following preterm PROM.展开更多
