Work stress and loss of years lived without chronic disease: an 18-year follow-up of 1.5 million employees in Denmark
AbstractWe aimed to examine the association between exposure to work stress and chronic disease incidence and loss of chronic disease-free life years in the Danish workforce. The study population included 1,592,491 employees, aged 30 –59 in 2000 and without prevalent chronic diseases. We assessed work stress as the combination of job strain and effort-reward imbalance using job exposure matrices. We used Cox regressions to estimate risk of incident hospital-diagnoses or death of chronic diseases (i.e., type 2 diabetes, coronar y heart disease, stroke, cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 9859: Indoor Air Pollution Exposure of Women in Adama, Ethiopia, and Assessment of Disease Burden Attributable to Risk Factor
Conclusions: This health impact assessment illustrates that household air pollution due to solid fuel use among women in Adama leads to premature death and a substantial quantity of DALYs. Therefore, decreasing or eliminating solid fuel use for cooking purposes could prevent deaths and improve quality of life.

Acute kidney injury and risk of cardiovascular outcomes: A nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSION: Non-selected patients aged 50 years or above with AKI during admission had significantly higher one-year risk of cardiovascular event or death, especially, but not only due to heart failure, independent of age and eGFR.PMID:34489123 | DOI:10.1016/j.nefro.2021.06.007

Vegetable nitrate intake, blood pressure and incident cardiovascular disease: Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health Study
AbstractWhether the vascular effects of inorganic nitrate, observed in clinical trials, translate to a reduction in cardiovascular disease (CVD) with habitual dietary nitrate intake in prospective studies warrants investigation. We aimed to determine if vegetable nitrate, the major dietary nitrate source, is associated with lower blood pressure (BP) and lower risk of incident CVD. Among 53,150 participants of the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health Study, without CVD at baseline, vegetable nitrate intake was assessed using a comprehensive vegetable nitrate database. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using restricted cubic sp...

Attributable societal costs of first-incident obesity-related cardiovascular comorbidities in Denmark
Conclusion: The onset of obesity-related cardiovascular comorbidities affected health-care costs and work ability to an extent where sick pay and disability pension were required. Our study demonstrates the need to intensify obesity and cardiovascular disease risk factor management to prevent costly and debilitating obesity-related comorbidities.PMID:33794723 | DOI:10.1080/14737167.2021.1908130
