Changes in self-reported physical and mental health, behaviour and economic status among adults by known seropositivity and sociodemographic factors before and after the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in …
Introduction: In early March 2020, a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak occurred in the ski resort of Ischgl, in Austria. After an initial seroprevalence study in April 2020, a follow-up study in November 2020 showed persistence of high levels of seropositivity. The impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infections and non-pharmaceutical interventions required to reduce transmission were wide-ranging, including worsened mental and physical health and economic damage. Methods: W…
Age- and sex-dependent associations between self-reported physical activity levels and self-reported cardiovascular risk factors
Exceeding minimal WHO recommendations for PA promises large beneficial effects, particularly on the prevalence of obesity and T2D. Demonstrated sex differences in PA levels and their association with cardiovascular risk factors may provide an important basis for preventive health counseling
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
P2-50 GGT levels are a coherent indicator of cardiovascular risk in primary care in both men and women
Introduction Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been re-established as a marker of cardiovascular risk rather than simply an indicator of liver disease. However, there is little data on the associations between GGT and groups with conventional cardiovascular risk factors in the primary care setting. We sought to examine the factors associated with elevated GGT in an Irish primary care population. Methods We explored the baseline data set of the …
P2-292 Total serum cholesterol and cancer incidence in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project (ME-CAN)
Introduction The relationship between serum cholesterol and cancer risk remains controversial. We examined the association between total serum cholesterol and cancer incidence in the Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer Project (Me-Can). Methods Me-Can consists of seven cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden including 289 273 male and 288 057 female participants prospectively followed up for cancer incidence (n=39 004) for a mean follow-up of 11.7 yea…
P2-210 Metabolic syndrome and cervical cancer in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project (ME-CAN)
Introduction Little is known about the association between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cervical cancer carcinogenesis. Methods The Me-Can cohort includes 288 834 women. During an average follow-up of 11 years 425 invasive cervical cancer cases were diagnosed. HRs were estimated by use of Cox proportional hazards regression models for quintiles and standardised z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a SD of 1) of body mass index, blood pressure, glu…
P2-69 Metabolic syndrome and risk of brain tumour in a large population-based cohort study
Background There are few established determinants of brain tumour. We assessed among adults the risk of brain tumour in relation to metabolic syndrome factors. Methods 580 000 subjects from Sweden, Austria, and Norway were followed for a median of 10 years (Me-Can). Brain tumour information was obtained from national cancer registries. The factors of metabolic syndrome, body mass index, blood pressure, and blood levels of glucose, cholesterol, an…
P2-49 Subclinical diastolic dysfunction is associated with biomarkers of hepatic function
Introduction This analysis set to investigate the relationship between novel biomarkers of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with diastolic dysfunction in a primary care cohort at heightened cardiovascular risk. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of 616 participants of the STOP HF study with complete echocardiographic data who have established cardiovascular risk factors and no previously known ventricular dysfunction. Data were also…
P2-310 Gamma-glutamyltransferase as a biomarker for oxidative stress, metabolic syndrome, and alcohol consumption and its association with cancer incidence
Background Alcohol consumption, metabolic factors and oxidative stress have consistently been linked to cancer development. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a biomarker for adverse alcohol consumption and oxidative stress. It is highly related to metabolic factors such as hyperglycaemia, dislipidaemia and obesity. We therefore hypothesise that GGT is associated with cancer incidence at different sites. Methods First visit measurements in 94 628…
Gamma-glutamyltransferase as a predictor for alcohol- and non-alcohol-related cancer incidence
Objective Recent evidence suggests that elevated levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) are associated with both incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Although GGT is regarded as a marker of liver function which may in turn reflect alcohol consumption, to date, no study has investigated the relationship of GGT with cancer sites known to be alcohol-related or non-related. Design Prospective cohort follow up and linkage s…
