Optimism and Mortality in Older Men and Women: The Rancho Bernardo Study by Ericha G. Anthony, Donna Kritz-Silverstein, Elizabeth Barrett-Connor

“…Participants with the highest optimism were younger and reported less alcohol use and smoking and more exercise. Cox proportional hazard models showed that higher total LOT-R and optimism, but not pessimism scores, were associated with reduced odds of CHD mortality after adjusting for age, sex, alcohol, smoking, obesity, physical exercise, and medication (HR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.75, 0.99; HR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.61, 0.99, resp.). …”

Nationwide cohort study of primary open angle glaucoma risk and cardiovascular factors among in Korean glaucoma suspects by Kyoung In Jung, Yong Chan Kim, Hee Jong Shin, Chan Kee Park

“…Over a 6-year follow-up, 4.92% of glaucoma suspects developed POAG. Through multivariate Cox regression analysis, glaucoma suspects with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or coronary heart disease exhibited a greater risk of conversion to POAG than those without these comorbidities ([HR, 1.354; 95%CI, 1.201 to 1.527] for diabetes, [HR, 1.139; 95%CI, 1.019 to 1.273] for systemic hypertension, [HR, 1.128; 95%CI, 1.013 to 1.26] for dyslipidemia, [HR, 1.124, 95%CI, 1.007 to 1.254] for coronary heart disease).This nationwide study observed that among glaucoma suspects, having cardiovascular risk factors/disease was associated with higher risk of developing POAG.…”

Hemosiderin-Laden Macrophages in Bronchoalveolar Lavage: Predictive Role for Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias by Toru Arai, Tomoko Kagawa, Yumiko Sasaki, Reiko Sugawara, Chikatoshi Sugimoto, Kazunobu Tachibana, Yoshiki Fujita, Seiji Hayashi, Yoshikazu Inoue

“…AE occurred significantly earlier in the higher HS group (4/7 cases) than in the lower HS group (41/214 cases) during a median observation period of 1239 days (log-rank test, p = 0.026). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that a higher HS was a significant predictor of AE in addition to IPF, percent predicted forced vital capacity, and modified Medical Research Council score. …”

Intake of sodium and potassium, sodium-potassium intake ratio, and their relation to the risk of diabetes mellitus by Sung Keun Park, Chang-Mo Oh, Jae-Hong Ryoo, Ju Young Jung

“…In a cohort of 99,552 working-age Korean adults (60,591 men; mean age 39.7 ± 6.9 and 38,961 women; mean age 38.4 ± 6.5), we longitudinally evaluated the risk of DM in relation to quartile levels of sodium intake, potassium intake, and the sodium-potassium ratio. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the risk of DM by calculating adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident DM (adjusted HR [95% CI]). …”
