Summary: An investigation on Chinese middle-aged and elderly individuals revealed a correlation between elevated serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels and increased risk of mortality from various diseases. Furthermore, specific genetic variations may modify the associations between Hcy and cardiovascular disease (CVD) or coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality.

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: This study examines the association between coffee and tea consumption and mortality in Asian populations. The results suggest that both coffee and green tea consumption are associated with lower risks of death from all causes and cardiovascular disease. Coffee consumption is also associated with lower risks of death from cancer.

Summary: This study compared four different lifestyles in relation to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. The results showed that high physical activity, with or without adhering to a healthy diet, was associated with a lower risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. However, leisure time physical activity was not associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated the combined effects of anemia and cognitive function on the risk of all-cause mortality in oldest-old individuals. The results showed a significant association between anemia and mortality, as well as a reverse J-shaped association between hemoglobin levels and mortality risk. Cognitive impairment was found to modify the association between Hb levels and mortality.

Summary: Novel methods have been developed to characterize a wide range of plasma proteins, but the complexity of the human proteome makes it challenging to identify strong protein-disease associations. Identification of individuals at high risk of early mortality is crucial, and novel biomarkers may help improve risk stratification. Multiple plasma proteins associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality have been identified independently of established risk factors, but reproducibility of these findings using the examined methods may be limited.

Summary: This study aims to assess the underlying and contributing causes of preterm neonatal deaths in India and Pakistan. The results show that intrauterine hypoxia and congenital infections are the major causes of neonatal death among preterm babies in South Asia. Maternal hypertensive disorders and placental disorders, especially maternal and fetal vascular malperfusion and placental abruption, also significantly contribute to these deaths.

Summary: The study found that Resistin is a significant risk factor for all-cause mortality among elderly Finnish subjects, independent from traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Resistin showed a significant risk of all-cause mortality when comparing the highest tertile with the lowest tertile. Even after adjustment for various covariates, Resistin remained a significant risk factor.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between health locus of control (HLC) and mortality rates for all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and other causes. The study found that external HLC was significantly associated with higher mortality rates for all-cause, CVD, cancer, and other causes, even after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and chronic diseases. However, after considering health-related behaviors, the association remained significant only for cancer mortality. This association was more prominent in men than in women.

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 found that diets high in saturated fat were associated with higher mortality from all-causes, CVD, and cancer, while diets high in polyunsaturated fat were associated with lower mortality from all-causes, CVD, and cancer. Diets high in trans-fat were associated with higher mortality from all-causes and CVD. Diets high in monounsaturated fat were associated with lower all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of waterpipe tobacco (WTP) smoking on all-cause mortality. The results showed that smokers had a higher risk of mortality compared to non-smokers. Specifically, current WTP smokers and dual smokers using WTP and cigarettes had significantly elevated mortality risk. Smoking cessation for more than 10 years decreased the risk of all-cause mortality and cancer.
