- Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the combined impact of diet quality and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on development of cardiovascular and mortality outcomes among postmenopausal women., Methods: A total of 99,840 women without baseline RA and 10,494 women with baseline RA were prospectively followed for an average of 12.7 years through the Women's Health Initiative. Diet quality was evaluated using food frequency questionnaires and the Healthy Eating Index 2015. Cardiovascular and mortality outcomes were identified through study follow-up. Four patient groups were used: Reference Group (no RA and healthy diet), Group 1 (no RA and unhealthy diet), Group 2 (RA and healthy diet), Group 3 (RA and unhealthy diet). Data was analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional regression models., Results: After adjustment for confounders, Groups 1 and 3 developed significantly more cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease, and incident stroke as compared to the reference. All groups developed more CVD-related mortality and all-cause mortality as compared to the reference. Among patients who already have RA, the incidence of these poorer cardiovascular outcomes does not significantly increase based on diet quality., Conclusion: While healthy diet quality is associated with reduced adverse cardiovascular and mortality outcomes, RA overpowers the benefits that may be attained through a healthy diet, resulting in the fact that diet quality does not significantly change cardiovascular and mortality outcome incidence in those who already have RA. Conversely, in those who do not have RA, the benefits of a healthy diet are realized with significant reduction of adverse cardiovascular and mortality outcomes as compared to those with an unhealthy diet. Key Points •Healthy diet quality is associated with reduced adverse cardiovascular and mortality outcomes. •RA is associated with increased adverse cardiovascular and mortality outcomes. •While diet quality does not significantly change cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in those who already have RA, those without RA experience significant reduction of these adverse outcomes by adhering to a healthy diet., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Objective: Test an obesity intervention for families with low incomes., Methods: A total of 208 families were included (a parent with a body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 and a child aged 6-12 years). A 12-month randomized controlled trial combining family health coaching (motivational interviewing) and connection to community resources. Comparison group: referrals for basic needs, written educational materials. Questionnaires, accelerometry, and anthropometrics. Intention-to-treat analysis of change in outcomes. Two-sided t test with multiple imputation., Results: Parents were 95% female, 31% Black, and 27% Hispanic. Children had a mean BMI-Z score of 1.15. Primary outcomes did not differ between groups at 12 months. Both groups significantly (P < 0.05) improved on the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Scale for behaviors related to childhood obesity (mean ± SE: comparison, 2.8 ± 1.0; intervention, 2.2 ± 0.9), increased child sedentary activity (comparison, 32.5 ± 12.1; intervention, 39.9 ± 12.4 min/d), and decreased child moderate-vigorous physical activity (comparison, -9.6 ± 3.3; intervention -7.0 ± 3.0 min/d). Parents had no change in BMI., Conclusions and Implications: We successfully embedded screening and referral to address social needs within an obesity intervention. The coaching intervention did not provide additional benefits. Future research could explore ways to make these interventions more accessible, valuable, and effective for families., (Copyright © 2024 Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior.

- Abstract
Background: Various foods and nutrients are linked with higher or lower risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yet these associations are inconsistent across studies. Limited research has been done evaluating the association between diet quality and RA in a larger-scale prospective study on postmenopausal women., Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary quality and risk of incident RA in postmenopausal women., Design: This was a prospective cohort study as part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), with an average follow-up time of 8.1 years. Baseline diet was measured using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Diet quality was evaluated by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 total score. In addition, intake of food groups and nutrients that align with HEI-2015 components was assessed., Participants/setting: Postmenopausal women (N = 109 591) were included in this study, which was conducted at various clinical centers across the United States with recruitment from 1993 to 1998. Women's Health Initiative participants who were missing outcome data, had unreliable/missing FFQ data, or had RA at baseline were excluded., Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was incident RA. Statistical analyses performed Multivariable Cox proportional regression analysis was performed evaluating the association of diet quality with self-reported physician-diagnosed RA after adjusting for age, race, ethnicity, education status, income, and body mass index (BMI)., Results: During 857 517 person-years of follow-up, 5823 incident RA cases were identified. After adjustment for multiple comparisons, compared with quartile 1, quartiles 2, 3, and 4 of the HEI-2015 total scores were associated with lower RA risks of 1%, 10%, and 19%, respectively (P-trend < .001). Greater consumption of total fruits (P-trend = .014), whole fruits (P-trend < .0002), total vegetables (P-trend = .008), greens and beans (P-trend < .0002), whole grains (P-trend = .008), and dairy (P-trend = .018) were significantly associated with lower rates of incident RA. Conversely, higher consumption of saturated fat (P-trend = .002) was significantly associated with higher rates of incident RA., Conclusion: A higher-quality diet reflected by higher HEI-2015 total scores was inversely associated with incident RA in postmenopausal women., (Copyright © 2024 Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

- Abstract
Background: Folate is the primary methyl donor and B vitamins are cofactors for one-carbon metabolism that maintain DNA integrity and epigenetic signatures implicated in carcinogenesis. Breast tissue is particularly susceptible to stimuli in early life. Only limited data are available on associations of one-carbon metabolism-related vitamin intake during youth and young adulthood with breast density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer., Methods: Over 18 years in the DISC and DISC06 Follow-up Study, diets of 182 young women were assessed by three 24-hour recalls on five occasions at ages 8 to 18 years and once at 25 to 29 years. Multivariable-adjusted linear mixed-effects regression was used to examine associations of intakes of one-carbon metabolism-related vitamins with MRI-measured percent dense breast volume (%DBV) and absolute dense breast volume (ADBV) at ages 25 to 29 years., Results: Folate intake in youth was inversely associated with %DBV (Ptrend = 0.006) and ADBV (Ptrend = 0.02). These inverse associations were observed with intake during post-, though not premenarche. In contrast, premenarche vitamin B2 intake was positively associated with ADBV (Ptrend < 0.001). Young adult folate and vitamin B6 intakes were inversely associated with %DBV (all Ptrend ≤ 0.04), whereas vitamins B6 and B12 were inversely associated with ADBV (all Ptrend ≤ 0.04)., Conclusions: Among these DISC participants intakes of one-carbon metabolism-related vitamins were associated with breast density. Larger prospective studies among diverse populations are needed to replicate these findings., Impact: Our results suggest the importance of one-carbon metabolism-related vitamin intakes early in life with development of breast density and thereby potentially breast cancer risk later in life., (©2024 American Association for Cancer Research.)

- Abstract
Inflammation can play a role in the pathophysiology of depression, and specific types of antidepressants may have inflammatory or anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, depression and antidepressant use has been linked to white blood cell (WBC) count, a routinely measured inflammatory marker. We examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships of depressive symptoms and/or antidepressant use with WBC count among postmenopausal women. Analyses of cross-sectional data at enrollment were performed on 125,307 participants, 50-79 years of age, from the Women's Health Initiative Clinical Trials and Observational Studies who met eligibility criteria, and a subset of those with 3-year follow-up data were examined for longitudinal relationships. Depressive symptoms were defined using the Burnam Algorithm whereas antidepressant use was defined using therapeutic class codes. WBC count (Kcell/ml) was obtained through laboratory evaluations of fasting blood samples. Multivariable regression modeling was performed taking sociodemographic, lifestyle and health characteristics into consideration. At enrollment, nearly 85% were non-users of antidepressants with no depressive symptoms, 5% were antidepressant users with no depressive symptoms, 9% were non-users of antidepressants with depressive symptoms, and 2% were users of antidepressants with depressive symptoms. In fully-adjusted models, cross-sectional relationships were observed whereby women in the 2
nd (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.13), 3rd (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.12) or 4th (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.17) quartiles of WBC count were more likely to exhibit depressive symptoms, and women in the 4th quartile were more likely to be users of antidepressants (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.15), compared to women in the 1st quartile. Compared to women who exhibited no depressive symptoms at either visit, those with consistent depressive symptoms at enrollment and at 3-year follow-up had faster decline in WBC count (β = -0.73, 95% CI: -1.33, -0.14) over time. No significant bidirectional relationships were observed between changes in depressive symptoms score and WBC count over time. In conclusion, depressive symptoms and/or antidepressant use were cross-sectionally related to higher WBC counts among postmenopausal women. Further evaluation of observed relationships is needed in the context of prospective cohort studies involving older adult men and women, with repeated measures of depression, antidepressant use, and WBC count., (© 2024.
