“…Risk factors and demographic characteristics included baseline self-reported age, race, education, income, body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol intake, hormone therapy (HT) use, physical activity, energy intake, salt intake, history of diabetes, 16 hypertension, or high cholesterol, as well as sugar-sweetened beverage intake. Age was assessed in years as both continuous and categorical (49-59, 60-64, 65-69, ≥ 70), physical activity was measured as total energy expended, and energy intake was measured as calibrated total calories.…”

Diet Drink Consumption and the Risk of Cardiovascular Events: A Report from the Women’s Health Initiative

et al. 2014

BACKGROUND: Data are limited regarding the influence of diet drink consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between diet drink intake and cardiovascular events. DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective cohort study, utilizing data from the national, multicenter Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI OS), recruiting subjects from 1993 to 1998. PATIENTS: Post-menopausal women with available diet drink intake data, without pre-existing CVD and who survived ≥ 60 days were included in the study. MAIN MEAURES: A composite of incident coronary heart disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization procedure, ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease and CVD death was used as the primary outcome. CVD death and all-cause mortality were secondary outcomes. Adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare primary and secondary outcomes across diet drink intake strata. KEY RESULTS: In all, 59,614 women, mean age 62.8 years, were included for analysis. In unadjusted analysis over a follow-up of 8.7±2.7 years, the primary outcome occurred in 8.5 % of the women consuming ≥ 2 diet drinks/day, compared to 6.9 %, 6.8 % and 7.2 % in the 5-7/week, 1-4/week and 0-3/month groups, respectively. After controlling for other CVD risk factors, women who consumed ≥ 2 drinks/day had a higher adjusted risk of CVD events (HR 1.3, 95 % CI 1.1-1.5), CVD mortality (HR 1.5, 95 % CI 1.03-2.3) and overall mortality (HR 1.3, 95 % CI 1.04-1.5) compared to the reference group (0-3 drinks/month). CONCLUSIONS: This analysis demonstrates an association between high diet drink intake and CVD outcomes and mortality in post-menopausal women in the WHI OS.

“…Although studies suggest that self-report of these conditions is reasonably accurate, 36,37 misreporting leading to respondent misclassification could have obscured true BMI-mortality relationships, especially if misreporting varied by BMI category. We also were unable to distin-guish type 1 from type 2 diabetes in our data set.…”

Background: Published studies about the association of obesity with mortality have used body mass index (BMI) data collected more than 10 years ago, potentially limiting their current applicability, particularly given evidence of a secular decline in obesity-related mortality. The objective of this study was to examine the association between BMI and mortality in a representative, contemporary United States sample.Methods

“…However, a growing body of literature suggests that self-reported risk factor, chronic disease, and health status variables are reasonably accurate relative to measured variables. [21][22][23] Second, the survey's telephone sampling methodology might under-represent those without regular access to telephones, with cell phones, or who speak a language other than English or Spanish, factors that are prevalent within both Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in the US. Third, because of the limited Pacific Islander sample, some of the subgroup sample sizes were relatively small, as indicated by wide confidence intervals for variables such as coronary heart disease and heavy alcohol intake.…”
