The incidence and associated risk factors for premature death were investigated in a population-based cohort study in Iran.
A total of 7245 participants (3216 men), aged 30-70 years, were included. We conducted Cox proportional hazards models to identify the risk factors for premature death. For each risk factor, hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and population attributable fraction (PAF) were calculated.
After a median follow-up of 13.8 years, 262 premature deaths (153 in men) occurred. Underlying causes of premature deaths were cardiovascular disease (CVD) (n = 126), cancer (n = 51), road injuries (n = 15), sepsis and pneumonia (n = 9) and miscellaneous reasons (n = 61). The age-standardized incident rate of premature death was 2.35 per 1000 person years based on WHO standard population. Hypertension [HR 1.40, 95% CI (1.07-1.83)], diabetes (2.53, 1.94-3.29) and current smoking (1.58, 1.16-2.17) were significant risk factors for premature mortality; corresponding PAFs were 12.3, 22.4 and 9.2%, respectively. Overweight (body mass index (BMI): 25-29.9 kg/m) (0.65, 0.49-0.87) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m) (0.67, 0.48-0.94) were associated with decreased premature mortality. After replacing general adiposity with central adiposity, we found no significant risk for the latter (0.92, 0.71-1.18). Moreover, when we excluded current smokers, those with prevalent cancer/cardiovascular disease and those with survival of less than 3 years, the inverse association between overweight (0.59, 0.39-0.88) and obesity (0.67, 0.43-1.04), generally remained unchanged; although, diabetes still showed a significant risk (2.62, 1.84-3.72).
Controlling three modifiable risk factors including diabetes, hypertension and smoking might potentially reduce mortality events by over 40%, and among these, prevention of diabetes should be prioritized to decrease burden of events. We didn't confirm a negative impact of overweight and obesity status on premature mortality events.
本研究通过伊朗的一项基于人群的队列研究,调查了过早死亡的发生率及其相关危险因素。
共纳入 7245 名参与者(3216 名男性),年龄 30-70 岁。我们采用 Cox 比例风险模型来确定过早死亡的危险因素。对于每个危险因素,计算了风险比(HR)、95%置信区间(95%CI)和人群归因分数(PAF)。
中位随访 13.8 年后,共有 262 例过早死亡(男性 153 例)发生。过早死亡的根本原因是心血管疾病(CVD)(n=126)、癌症(n=51)、道路伤害(n=15)、脓毒症和肺炎(n=9)和其他原因(n=61)。基于世界卫生组织标准人口,年龄标准化的过早死亡发生率为 2.35/1000 人年。高血压[HR 1.40,95%CI(1.07-1.83)]、糖尿病(2.53,1.94-3.29)和当前吸烟[HR 1.58,1.16-2.17]是过早死亡的显著危险因素;相应的 PAF 分别为 12.3%、22.4%和 9.2%。超重(体重指数(BMI):25-29.9kg/m)[HR 0.65,0.49-0.87]和肥胖(BMI≥30kg/m)[HR 0.67,0.48-0.94]与过早死亡风险降低相关。当用中心性肥胖替代总体肥胖时,我们发现后者与过早死亡没有显著关联[HR 0.92,0.71-1.18]。此外,当排除当前吸烟者、有现患癌症/心血管疾病者和生存时间少于 3 年者后,超重[HR 0.59,0.39-0.88]和肥胖[HR 0.67,0.43-1.04]与过早死亡之间的反比关联总体上保持不变;尽管糖尿病仍显示出显著的风险[HR 2.62,1.84-3.72]。
控制糖尿病、高血压和吸烟这三个可改变的危险因素,可能会使死亡率降低 40%以上,其中预防糖尿病应作为降低事件负担的优先事项。我们没有证实超重和肥胖状态对过早死亡事件有负面影响。
