RESUMO
Importance: Age-standardized dementia mortality rates are on the rise. Whether long-term consumption of olive oil and diet quality are associated with dementia-related death is unknown. Objective: To examine the association of olive oil intake with the subsequent risk of dementia-related death and assess the joint association with diet quality and substitution for other fats. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective cohort study examined data from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1990-2018) and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS; 1990-2018). The population included women from the NHS and men from the HPFS who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Data were analyzed from May 2022 to July 2023. Exposures: Olive oil intake was assessed every 4 years using a food frequency questionnaire and categorized as (1) never or less than once per month, (2) greater than 0 to less than or equal to 4.5 g/d, (3) greater than 4.5 g/d to less than or equal to 7 g/d, and (4) greater than 7 g/d. Diet quality was based on the Alternative Healthy Eating Index and Mediterranean Diet score. Main Outcome and Measure: Dementia death was ascertained from death records. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs adjusted for confounders including genetic, sociodemographic, and lifestyle factors. Results: Of 92â¯383 participants, 60â¯582 (65.6%) were women and the mean (SD) age was 56.4 (8.0) years. During 28 years of follow-up (2â¯183â¯095 person-years), 4751 dementia-related deaths occurred. Individuals who were homozygous for the apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) allele were 5 to 9 times more likely to die with dementia. Consuming at least 7 g/d of olive oil was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death (adjusted pooled HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.64-0.81]) compared with never or rarely consuming olive oil (P for trend < .001); results were consistent after further adjustment for APOE ε4. No interaction by diet quality scores was found. In modeled substitution analyses, replacing 5 g/d of margarine and mayonnaise with the equivalent amount of olive oil was associated with an 8% (95% CI, 4%-12%) to 14% (95% CI, 7%-20%) lower risk of dementia mortality. Substitutions for other vegetable oils or butter were not significant. Conclusions and Relevance: In US adults, higher olive oil intake was associated with a lower risk of dementia-related mortality, irrespective of diet quality. Beyond heart health, the findings extend the current dietary recommendations of choosing olive oil and other vegetable oils for cognitive-related health.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We demonstrated in the randomized 18-month DIRECT PLUS trial (n = 294) that a Mediterranean (MED) diet, supplemented with polyphenol-rich Mankai duckweed, green tea, and walnuts and restricted in red/processed meat, caused substantial intrahepatic fat (IHF%) loss compared with 2 other healthy diets, reducing NAFLD by half, regardless of similar weight loss. Here, we investigated the baseline proteomic profile associated with IHF% and the changes in proteomics associated with IHF% changes induced by lifestyle intervention. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We calculated IHF% by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (normal IHF% <5% and abnormal IHF% ≥5%). We assayed baseline and 18-month samples for 95 proteomic biomarkers.Participants (age = 51.3 ± 10.8 y; 89% men; and body mass index = 31.3 ± 3.9 kg/m 2 ) had an 89.8% 18-month retention rate; 83% had eligible follow-up proteomics measurements, and 78% had follow-up proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. At baseline, 39 candidate proteins were significantly associated with IHF% (false discovery rate <0.05), mostly related to immune function pathways (eg, hydroxyacid oxidase 1). An IHF% prediction based on the DIRECT PLUS by combined model ( R2 = 0.47, root mean square error = 1.05) successfully predicted IHF% ( R2 = 0.53) during testing and was stronger than separately inputting proteins/traditional markers ( R2 = 0.43/0.44). The 18-month lifestyle intervention induced changes in 18 of the 39 candidate proteins, which were significantly associated with IHF% change, with proteins related to metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling, and immune function pathways. Thrombospondin-2 protein change was higher in the green-MED compared to the MED group, beyond weight and IHF% loss ( p = 0.01). Protein principal component analysis revealed differences in the third principal component time distinct interactions across abnormal/normal IHF% trajectory combinations; p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest novel proteomic signatures that may indicate MRI-assessed IHF state and changes during lifestyle intervention. Specifically, carbonic anhydrase 5A, hydroxyacid oxidase 1, and thrombospondin-2 protein changes are independently associated with IHF% change, and thrombospondin-2 protein change is greater in the green-MED/high polyphenols diet.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Inflammation and metabolic dysregulation are associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC); the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We characterized metabolomic signatures of inflammation and metabolic dysregulation and evaluated the association of the signatures and individual metabolites with CRC risk. METHODS: Among 684 incident CRC cases and 684 age-matched controls in the Nurses' Health Study (n = 818 women) and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (n = 550 men), we applied reduced rank and elastic net regression to 277 metabolites for markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B, and growth differentiation factor 15) or metabolic dysregulation (body mass index, waist circumference, C-peptide, and adiponectin) to derive metabolomic signatures. We evaluated the association of the signatures and individual metabolites with CRC using multivariable conditional logistic regression. All statistical tests were 2-sided. RESULTS: We derived a signature of 100 metabolites that explained 24% of variation in markers of inflammation and a signature of 73 metabolites that explained 27% of variation in markers of metabolic dysregulation. Among men, both signatures were associated with CRC (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07 to 1.68 per 1-standard deviation increase, inflammation; OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.55 metabolic dysregulation); neither signature was associated with CRC in women. A total of 11 metabolites were individually associated with CRC and biomarkers of inflammation or metabolic dysregulation among either men or women. CONCLUSION: We derived metabolomic signatures and identified individual metabolites associated with inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and CRC, highlighting several metabolites as promising candidates involved in the inflammatory and metabolic dysregulation pathways for CRC incidence.

BACKGROUND: A healthy lifestyle is associated with a lower premature mortality risk and with longer life expectancy. However, the metabolic pathways of a healthy lifestyle and how they relate to mortality and longevity are unclear. We aimed to identify and replicate a healthy lifestyle metabolomic signature and examine how it is related to total and cause-specific mortality risk and longevity. METHODS: In four large cohorts with 13,056 individuals and 28-year follow-up, we assessed five healthy lifestyle factors, used liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to profile plasma metabolites, and ascertained deaths with death certificates. The unique healthy lifestyle metabolomic signature was identified using an elastic regression. Multivariable Cox regressions were used to assess associations of the signature with mortality and longevity. FINDINGS: The identified healthy lifestyle metabolomic signature was reflective of lipid metabolism pathways. Shorter and more saturated triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol metabolite sets were inversely associated with the healthy lifestyle score, whereas cholesteryl ester and phosphatidylcholine plasmalogen sets were positively associated. Participants with a higher healthy lifestyle metabolomic signature had a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality, 19% for cardiovascular disease mortality, and 17% for cancer mortality and were 25% more likely to reach longevity. The healthy lifestyle metabolomic signature explained 38% of the association between the self-reported healthy lifestyle score and total mortality risk and 49% of the association with longevity. CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies a metabolomic signature that measures adherence to a healthy lifestyle and shows prediction of total and cause-specific mortality and longevity.

Importance: Weight loss is common in primary care. Among individuals with recent weight loss, the rates of cancer during the subsequent 12 months are unclear compared with those without recent weight loss. Objective: To determine the rates of subsequent cancer diagnoses over 12 months among health professionals with weight loss during the prior 2 years compared with those without recent weight loss. Design, Setting, and Participants: Prospective cohort analysis of females aged 40 years or older from the Nurses' Health Study who were followed up from June 1978 until June 30, 2016, and males aged 40 years or older from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study who were followed up from January 1988 until January 31, 2016. Exposure: Recent weight change was calculated from the participant weights that were reported biennially. The intentionality of weight loss was categorized as high if both physical activity and diet quality increased, medium if only 1 increased, and low if neither increased. Main Outcome and Measures: Rates of cancer diagnosis during the 12 months after weight loss. Results: Among 157â¯474 participants (median age, 62 years [IQR, 54-70 years]; 111â¯912 were female [71.1%]; there were 2631 participants [1.7%] who self-identified as Asian, Native American, or Native Hawaiian; 2678 Black participants [1.7%]; and 149â¯903 White participants [95.2%]) and during 1.64 million person-years of follow-up, 15â¯809 incident cancer cases were identified (incident rate, 964 cases/100â¯000 person-years). During the 12 months after reported weight change, there were 1362 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years among all participants with recent weight loss of greater than 10.0% of body weight compared with 869 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years among those without recent weight loss (between-group difference, 493 cases/100â¯000 person-years [95% CI, 391-594 cases/100â¯000 person-years]; P < .001). Among participants categorized with low intentionality for weight loss, there were 2687 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years for those with weight loss of greater than 10.0% of body weight compared with 1220 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years for those without recent weight loss (between-group difference, 1467 cases/100â¯000 person-years [95% CI, 799-2135 cases/100â¯000 person-years]; P < .001). Cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract (cancer of the esophagus, stomach, liver, biliary tract, or pancreas) was particularly common among participants with recent weight loss; there were 173 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years for those with weight loss of greater than 10.0% of body weight compared with 36 cancer cases/100â¯000 person-years for those without recent weight loss (between-group difference, 137 cases/100â¯000 person-years [95% CI, 101-172 cases/100â¯000 person-years]; P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance: Health professionals with weight loss within the prior 2 years had a significantly higher risk of cancer during the subsequent 12 months compared with those without recent weight loss. Cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract was particularly common among participants with recent weight loss compared with those without recent weight loss.
