RESUMO

AIMS: Gout is associated with a significant burden of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a favorable lifestyle on incident cardiovascular events in patients with gout. METHODS: We identified 9 110 patients with gout from the UK Biobank cohort based on self-report and/or hospital diagnostic codes. Lifestyle behaviors, including smoking status, physical activity, obesity, and diet, were categorized into three patterns: favorable (3-4 healthy factors), intermediate (2 healthy factors), and unfavorable (0-1 healthy factor). The cardiovascular risk of participants with and without gout was estimated based on their serum uric acid levels and lifestyle patterns. RESULTS: Among 9 110 patients with gout and 457 596 participants without gout, the median follow-up duration was 8.9 years. The incidence rate of cardiovascular disease was significantly higher in the gout population than in the non-gout population (11.38 vs 5.49 per 1000 person-years). The gout population consistently exhibited a high cardiovascular risk, irrespective of uric acid levels, whereas a positive correlation was observed between uric acid levels and cardiovascular risk in the non-gout population. Adopting a favorable lifestyle pattern was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in both gout and non-gout populations. Across all categories of uric acid, a favorable lifestyle was found to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with gout. CONCLUSION: Patients with gout remain at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease despite having normal uric acid levels. Lifestyle modifications may represent an effective and cost-efficient therapeutic approach for preventing cardiovascular events in this population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Numerous observational studies have highlighted associations of genetic predisposition of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with diverse risk factors, but these findings are constrained by design limitations of observational studies. In this study, we utilized a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach, incorporating a polygenic risk score (PRS) derived from a wide array of genomic variants, to systematically investigate phenotypes associated with genetic predisposition to HNSCC. Furthermore, we validated our findings across heterogeneous cohorts, enhancing the robustness and generalizability of our results. METHODS: We derived PRSs for HNSCC and its subgroups, oropharyngeal cancer and oral cancer, using large-scale genome-wide association study summary statistics from the Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology Network. We conducted a comprehensive investigation, leveraging genotyping data and electronic health records from 308,492 individuals in the UK Biobank and 38,401 individuals in the Penn Medicine Biobank (PMBB), and subsequently performed PheWAS to elucidate the associations between PRS and a wide spectrum of phenotypes. RESULTS: We revealed the HNSCC PRS showed significant association with phenotypes related to tobacco use disorder (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.05-1.08; P = 3.50 × 10-15), alcoholism (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04-1.09; P = 6.14 × 10-9), alcohol-related disorders (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.05-1.11; P = 1.09 × 10-8), emphysema (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.06-1.16; P = 5.48 × 10-6), chronic airway obstruction (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03-1.07; P = 2.64 × 10-5), and cancer of bronchus (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.04-1.13; P = 4.68 × 10-5). These findings were replicated in the PMBB cohort, and sensitivity analyses, including the exclusion of HNSCC cases and the major histocompatibility complex locus, confirmed the robustness of these associations. Additionally, we identified significant associations between HNSCC PRS and lifestyle factors related to smoking and alcohol consumption. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated the potential of PRS-based PheWAS in revealing associations between genetic risk factors for HNSCC and various phenotypic traits. The findings emphasized the importance of considering genetic susceptibility in understanding HNSCC and highlighted shared genetic bases between HNSCC and other health conditions and lifestyles.
