Alcohol and incident heart failure among middle-aged and elderly men: cohort of Swedish men.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Compared with no alcohol consumption, heavy alcohol intake is associated with a higher rate of heart failure (HF) whereas light-to-moderate intake may be associated with a lower rate. However, several prior studies did not exclude former drinkers, who may have changed alcohol consumption in response to diagnosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between alcohol intake and incident HF. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective cohort study of 33 760 men aged 45 to 79 years with no HF, diabetes mellitus, or myocardial infarction at baseline participating in the Cohort of Swedish Men Study. We excluded former drinkers. At baseline, participants completed a food frequency questionnaire and reported other characteristics. HF was defined as hospitalization for or death from HF, ascertained by Swedish inpatient and cause-of-death records from January 1, 1998, through December 31, 2011. We constructed Cox proportional hazards models to estimate multivariable-adjusted incidence rate ratios. During follow-up, 2916 men were hospitalized for (n=2139) or died (n=777) of incident HF. There was a U-shaped relationship between total alcohol intake and incident HF (P=0.0004). There was a nadir at light-to-moderate alcohol intake: consuming 7 to <14 standard drinks per week was associated with a 19% lower multivariable-adjusted rate of HF compared with never drinking (incidence rate ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.96). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of Swedish men, there was a U-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and HF incidence, with a nadir at light-to-moderate intake. Heavy intake did not seem protective.

The Cardiac Infarction Injury Score and coronary heart disease in middle-aged and elderly men: the Zutphen Study.
The Cardiac Infarction Injury Score (CIIS), based on electrocardiographic characteristics, was developed as a measure to determine the presence of myocardial infarctions. In the present study the association of the CIIS with coronary morbidity and mortality was investigated among middle-aged and elderly men. A cohort of 877 men, born between 1900 and 1919, was followed and repeatedly examined f...

Background Heart-rate-adjusted QT-interval (QTj) is prognostic of sudden death in myocardial infarction patients. So far, population studies have yielded conflicting results on the predictive value of QT, for coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we investigated this in a longitudinal study of middle-aged and elderly men. Methods and Results From 1960 to 1985, 877 middle-ag...

BACKGROUND The study objective was to determine the association between reported alcohol consumption and total mortality, mortality from selected causes, and incident nonfatal chronic disease events in middle-aged (51 to 64 years old) and elderly (65 to 75 years old) men during an approximate 15-year follow-up period. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective epidemiological study of Jap...
متن کاملHeart rate variability from short electrocardiographic recordings predicts mortality from all causes in middle-aged and elderly men. The Zutphen Study.
Low heart rate variability is associated with high risk of sudden death in myocardial infarction patients. This has been attributed to unfavorable autonomic cardiac control. In the present study, the predictive value of heart rate variability for sudden death, mortality from coronary heart disease, and from all causes was investigated in the general population, using brief electrocardiographic ...
