Summary: This study found that depressive symptoms increase both all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates, particularly among middle-aged men and older women. These findings suggest that depression remains a significant risk factor for mortality, even after accounting for behavioral factors.

Summary: This study found a significant association between sleep duration <5 hours or >9 hours and increased risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. It was estimated that 187,000 cardiovascular disease events were attributable to short sleep duration and 947,000 cardiovascular disease events were attributable to long sleep duration.

Summary: This study investigates the joint effect of Mediterranean diet adherence and sleep disorders on mortality, and finds that individuals with poorer adherence to the Mediterranean diet and presence of sleep disorders have significantly increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality.

Summary: This study investigated the association between blood cadmium levels and mortality risk in adults. The results showed that higher cadmium exposure was associated with increased risks of all-cause and specific-cause mortality. Furthermore, smoking status and age also played important roles in this association.

Summary: The study found that depression increases mortality, but the effect is attenuated after adjusting for social status, physical health, and lifestyle variables. Gender does not significantly influence the relationship between depression and mortality.

Summary: This study found that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of mortality from various causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. However, heavy drinking and binge drinking are associated with a higher risk of mortality.

Summary: The study found that there is an association between serum calcium concentrations and mortality in the general healthy population. Low and high calcium levels increase the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, while the risk of cancer mortality is linearly positively related to calcium concentrations.

Summary: This study investigated the mortality risks among participants with diabetes, depression, or both in a large cohort study in the UK. The results showed that individuals with both depression and diabetes had the highest risk of all-cause mortality, particularly from cancer and non-circulatory diseases.

Summary: Oxidative stress is important in cardiovascular disease, and current biomarkers are insufficient for predicting cardiovascular events. This study assessed the utility of redox-related biomarkers in predicting cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in a population-based cohort. The levels of homocysteine, gamma-GT, HDL cholesterol, bilirubin, and protein-adjusted free thiol were analyzed, and lower levels of protein-adjusted R-SH were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in men. The study highlights the value of R-SH levels in cardiovascular risk assessment and the importance of other oxidative stress-related biomarkers.

Summary: The study found that whole grains, legumes, fruits, mushrooms and fungi, soy and soy products are the main contributors to reducing mortality risk, and their joint effects are stronger than individual food groups.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the association between central obesity and mortality. The results showed that central obesity was significantly associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular diseases-related mortality, even among normal weight adults.

Summary: Achieving a higher cardiovascular health (CVH) score according to the new Life's Essential 8 was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific mortality. Efforts to promote higher CVH scores could provide significant benefits in reducing mortality burden later in life.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary fiber intake and all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in individuals with pre-existing chronic conditions, especially in Asian countries. The results showed that higher dietary fiber intake was significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality.
