Overweight, Obesity, and All-Cause Mortality

JAMA, 2013
Dr Flegal and colleagues1 reported a beneficial association between being overweight and survival in a large cohort of general population adults. One study2 found a 20% and 30% improvement in 30-day and 1-year survival, respectively, among both overweight and obese patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Other studies (see citations in 2) reported

Alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality

Addiction, 1995
Based on a large US representative cohort with detailed baseline interview and examination data, the relationship between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality is examined over a period of 15 years follow-up. Results show a significant linear relationship for females and males under 60 years of age at baseline, and a non-significant U-shape for ...

Effect of Raloxifene on All-cause Mortality

The American Journal of Medicine, 2010
Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, reduces osteoporosis and invasive breast cancer risk but increases risk for venous thromboembolism and fatal stroke in women with or at high risk for coronary heart disease. To assess the risk/benefit of raloxifene as a preventative treatment, we analyzed treatment effects on overall and cause ...

All-cause mortality after ERCP

Endoscopy, 2016
Background and study aims: This study aimed to externally validate a recently developed English model for the prediction of 30-day mortality after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Real-world mortality data beyond 30 days post-ERCP are scarce; thus, the study also aimed to develop a prediction model for mortality up to 12 months ...

Obesity: Focus on all-cause mortality and cancer

Maturitas, 2010
Excess body weight is a strong determinant as well as modifiable risk factor for all-cause and cancer mortality, and as such carries the potential for primary prevention. Recently published studies greatly enhance our knowledge about the impact of body fat distribution on relative risks specific to cancer type, and among women, there is further ...

Weight at Birth and All-Cause Mortality in Adulthood

Epidemiology, 2008
Small size at birth is associated with subsequent cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and large size is associated with obesity and cancer. The overall impact of these opposing effects on mortality throughout the lifespan is unclear because causes of death change with age.We investigated the association of birth weight with adult all-cause mortality ...

Sleep Duration and All-Cause Mortality

Journal of Insurance Medicine
Sleep, as a behavioural lifestyle factor, has so far received limited attention in medical risk assessment. Nonetheless, behavioural lifestyle factors can offer valuable insights into the health status of applicants. Health trackers enable the continuous recording of lifestyle factors such as physical activity and sleep patterns.

Overweight, Obesity, and All-Cause Mortality—Reply

JAMA, 2013
The goal of our study was neither to endorse nor to criticize the standard BMI categories developed by the World Health Organization, but rather to summarize the published findings on mortality from studies that used those widely recognized categories.

All-Cause Mortality Prediction in T2D Patients

2020
Mortality in elderly population having type II diabetes (T2D) can be prevented sometimes through intervention. For that risk assessment can be performed through predictive modeling. This study is part of a collaboration with Maccabi Healthcare Services’ Electronic Health Records (EHR) data, that consists on up to 10 years of 18,000 elderly T2D patients.
