Alcohol Intake as a Risk Factor for Acute Stroke: The INTERSTROKE Study

Andrew Smyth, Martin O'Donnell, Sumathy Rangarajan, Graeme J. Hankey, Shahram Oveisgharan, Michelle Canavan, Clodagh McDermott, Denis Xavier, Hongye Zhang, Albertino Damasceno, Alvaro Avezum, Nana Pogosova, Aytekin Oguz, Danuta Ryglewicz, Helle Klingenberg Iversen, Fernando Lanas, Annika Rosengren, Salim Yusuf, Peter Langhorne

Summary: This study examined the association between alcohol consumption and stroke in a large international population. It found that high and moderate alcohol intake increased the odds of stroke, while low intake was not associated with stroke. However, there were regional variations in the relationship.

Is incident cancer in later life associated with lower incidence of dementia?

Osvaldo P. Almeida, Graeme J. Hankey, Bu B. Yeap, Jonathan Golledge, Christopher Etherton-Beer, Suzanne Robinson, Leon Flicker

Summary: Cancer is associated with a lower risk of dementia, although methodological issues raise concerns about this relationship. A long-term study of 31,080 men aged 65-85 years found that the hazard ratio of dementia associated with cancer was 1.13, but dropped to 0.85 when excluding participants who developed dementia within 2 years. The diagnosis of cancer seems to facilitate the early detection of dementia cases.

Healthy lifestyles are associated with better vitamin D status in community-dwelling older men: The Health In Men Study (HIMS)

Xiaoying Liu, Kaye E. Brock, Tara C. Brennan-Speranza, Leon Flicker, Jonathan Golledge, Graeme J. Hankey, Christian M. Girgis, Bu B. Yeap

Summary: Older people are more prone to vitamin D deficiency, and individual lifestyle factors have an impact on vitamin D levels. This study focused on older men and found that engaging in multiple healthy lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, was associated with better vitamin D status. Further research is needed to determine the effects of promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors on vitamin D sufficiency.

Summary: Lower testosterone concentrations in middle-aged and older men are associated with shorter telomeres, suggesting that testosterone may contribute to biological aging in men.

Colchicine in High-risk Patients with Acute Minor-to-moderate Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (CHANCE-3): Rationale and design of a multicenter randomized placebo-controlled trial

Yongjun Wang, Jiejie Li, S. Claiborne Johnston, Graeme J. Hankey, J. Donald Easton, Xia Meng, Fu-Dong Shi, Yilong Wang, Xingquan Zhao, Zixiao Li, Liping Liu, Hongqiu Gu, Yong Jiang, Anxin Wang, Yuesong Pan, Jing Jing, Siying Niu, Hao Li

Summary: The CHANCE-3 study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial that aims to investigate the efficacy of colchicine therapy in patients with acute minor-to-moderate ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. The study will randomly assign 8,238 patients with high-sensitivity CRP level of >= 2 mg/L to receive colchicine or placebo, in addition to optimal medical therapy. The primary outcome is the occurrence of any stroke within 3 months of randomization, with a goal of detecting a 25% reduction in the colchicine group.

Tan, Timothy Brighton, Gordon Royle, Amanda Hugman, Graeme J. Hankey, Helen Crowther, Jirping Boey, Alexander Gallus, Philip Campbell, Huyen Tran

Summary: This study observed the difference in urgent hemostatic management between patients on VKA and those on DOACs. The results showed that in DOAC patients, the frequency of measuring DOAC plasma levels was low, the time for the coagulation sample to reach the laboratory varied widely, and some patients had insufficient plasma DOAC concentrations.

Summary: The study found that various factors, including age, obesity, marital status, physical activity, smoking, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, are associated with variations in male testosterone, SHBG, and LH concentrations. Reduced testosterone and increased LH concentrations may indicate impaired testicular function in men older than 70 years.

Prevalence of mental disorders among older Australians: Contrasting evidence from the 2020-2021 National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing among men and women and the Health In Men Data Linkage Study

Osvaldo P. Almeida, Graeme J. Hankey, Bu B. Yeap, Jonathan Golledge, Christopher Etherton-Beer, Suzanne Robinson, Leon Flicker

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of common mental disorders among older Australian men and found that the rates of depressive and anxiety disorders increase with age, especially among the older old, which is different from the results of the NSMHW conducted in 2020-2021.

The Diet Quality of Australian Stroke Survivors in a Community Setting

Karly Zacharia, Emily Ramage, Margaret Galloway, Meredith Burke, Graeme J. Hankey, Elizabeth Lynch, Catherine M. Said, Coralie English, Amanda Patterson, Lesley Macdonald-Wicks

Summary: This study examined the dietary intake and quality of Australian stroke survivors. The findings indicate that the diet quality of stroke survivors is poor, with inadequate intake of nutrients important for reducing recurrent stroke risk. Further research is needed to develop effective interventions to improve diet quality.

Summary: This study tested the feasibility and safety of a 6-month telehealth intervention to increase physical activity and improve diet quality. The results showed that the intervention was safe and feasible and may have led to significant behavior change.

Summary: The PreventS-MD web app showed high usability, feasibility, and satisfaction among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and individuals at risk of stroke/CVD. Patients at risk of stroke/CVD also demonstrated strong confidence and motivation in following and adhering to the preventive recommendations generated by PreventS-MD.

Summary: This study aimed to define the optimal healthy ranges of TSH and FT4 based on the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The study found that the 20-40th percentiles of FT4 and the 60-80th percentiles of TSH could represent the optimal healthy ranges of thyroid function.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the dose-response relationship between long-term exposure to low-concentration PM2.5 air pollution and incident ischemic heart disease (IHD), heart failure (HF), and atrial fibrillation (AF) in older men. The results showed a trend of increased incidence of IHD, HF, and AF, but none were statistically significant under low-concentration PM2.5 air pollution exposure.

Pre-treatment re-bleeding following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A systematic review of published prediction models with risk of bias and clinical applicability assessment

Arosha S. Dissanayake, Kwok M. Ho, Timothy J. Phillips, Stephen Honeybul, Graeme J. Hankey

Summary: This study systematically reviews models that aim to provide patient-specific predictions of pre-treatment rebleeding risk in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The reported discriminative performance of the models varied, and no model showed consistently low bias risk and clinical applicability in all domains. Only one model was formulated using a patient cohort that underwent contemporary, evidence-based aneurysm treatment practices, but this model lacked calibration or clinical utility.
