Summary: This study found that individuals with retinopathy have an increased all-cause mortality. The joint effects of retinopathy and major systemic vascular comorbidities further increased the all-cause mortality, indicating the need for more extensive vascular risk factor assessment and management to detect the burden of vascular pathologies and improve long-term survival in individuals with retinopathy.

Summary: The study found a U-shaped association between low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score and total mortality among Asians, with high animal protein and fat in LCD associated with higher mortality risk. Conversely, a LCD high in plant-based sources of protein and fat was associated with a lower risk of total and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This study examines the effects of heat on mortality in 12 metropolitan areas across Texas. The results show that high temperatures have a significant impact on all-cause mortality in Texas, and the effect varies by region, age group, and cause of death.

Summary: This study found that depression was associated with all-cause mortality among individuals at a high baseline risk of CVD, but no significant association was observed in people at a low baseline risk of CVD.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effect of baseline blood pressure on all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed that a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≤ 110 mmHg or > 160 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) < 70 mmHg were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Therefore, excessively low blood pressure may not be an optimal target for patients with AF.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between vitamin D (VD) and mortality in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The results showed an L-shaped association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and all-cause mortality, and an inverse association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Patients with sufficient 25(OH)D concentrations had a lower risk of all-cause and CVD mortality compared to those with insufficient or deficient levels.

Summary: This study in Lithuania on prostate cancer screening revealed that before screening, patients who were not screened had higher all-cause mortality risk, while those who were screened had similar all-cause mortality risk to the general population. Additionally, screened patients with localized stage of disease had lower all-cause mortality risk compared to the general population.

Summary: The stable state of metabolic syndrome may increase the risk of mortality, with a stronger association in women. Even in the absence of hypertension and diabetes, metabolic syndrome in women may still carry a corresponding effect, increasing the risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between baseline body mass index (BMI), longitudinal BMI trajectories, and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The findings showed that individuals with increasing BMI had higher mortality rates, indicating that rapid weight gain is a risk factor for mortality among T2DM patients.

Summary: This study proposes a method to quantify changes in the built environment over time and explores its association with mortality rates. The results show that there is no direct relationship between changes in the built environment and mortality rates, but the areas that experience future changes in the built environment have different initial mortality rates compared to those that do not. This study provides new insights into understanding the changes in the built environment at a national level.

Summary: Living with a partner or being separated is associated with a lower risk of mortality in older adults, while being widowed is associated with a higher risk. This study confirms the link between marital status and all-cause mortality risk in older individuals.

Summary: The association between BMI and all-cause mortality is complex, taking into account comorbidities and baseline mortality risk. Comorbidities are generally better predictors of mortality risk, except at extreme BMIs. BMI seems to better define mortality risk in patients with no or few comorbidities.

Summary: There is an association between vitamin D status and all-cause mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. Very low or high concentrations of vitamin D may increase the risk of all-cause mortality in these patients.

Summary: The study found that the coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and sarcopenia (SP) increases the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Individuals with either disease need careful management to prevent the development of the other disease and reduce mortality.
