Higher coffee consumption was associated with substantially lower risks of cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver-related death, while also showing favorable liver imaging and proteomic profiles in a prospective study of nearly 355,000 participants from the UK Biobank. During a median follow-up of 13 years, individuals who drank at least five […]

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was associated with a substantially higher risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) when accompanied by higher levels of the inflammatory biomarker interleukin-6 (IL-6), highlighting the important role of inflammation in modifying cardiovascular risk. In this UK Biobank study of 43,512 adults without preexisting CAD or aortic […]

Older adults with biological signs of Alzheimer’s disease or neurodegeneration who adhered more closely to an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern had a significantly lower risk of developing dementia. In this Swedish population-based cohort study of 1,865 adults aged 60 years and older without dementia at baseline, researchers examined three healthy dietary […]

Higher daytime light exposure was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing dementia, while nighttime light exposure showed no significant relationship. In this study of 87,577 dementia-free UK adults (average age 62 years) followed for a median of 8.1 years, 741 participants developed dementia. Researchers measured light exposure using […]

Children and adolescents who regularly consume sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and fruit juice may face a significantly higher risk of developing high blood pressure (BP) in adulthood, whereas whole fruit consumption does not appear to increase risk. In the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS), which followed 25,749 participants from a mean […]

Women who consistently performed resistance training had a substantially lower risk of major cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly heart attacks, according to a prospective study involving more than 117,000 U.S. women followed for an average of 14.5 years. Compared with women who did no resistance training, those engaging in at least […]

Recombinant Shingles Vaccine Linked to Lower Dementia Risk

A U.S. study found that receiving the recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (RZV, shingles vaccine) was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing dementia among older adults admitted to skilled-nursing facilities. Researchers analyzed data from 509,926 Medicare beneficiaries aged 66 years or older who had no prior dementia diagnosis and […]

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Linked to Higher Risk of Liver Cancer Subtypes

This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Cancer Liver Risk Sugar-Sweetened Beverages on

A pooled analysis of 11 prospective cohort studies involving more than 1.5 million adults found that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) was associated with an increased risk of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), whereas artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) were not associated with liver cancer risk. Researchers […]

Low Lipoprotein(a) Levels Linked to Higher Diabetes Risk
