Epidemiologic studies on cruciferous vegetable (CV) intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were inconclusive.
To investigate the associations of urinary thiocyanate, a biomarker of CV intake, with CVD and all-cause mortality among non-smoking adults.
This prospective cohort study comprised 10,489 non-smoking adults (weighted mean age, 46.8 years; 43.4% male) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2014. Non-smokers were defined as subjects with serum cotinine < 3 ng/mL. Urinary thiocyanate was measured with ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry at baseline, and CVD and all-cause mortality were identified through linkage to National Death Index until December 31, 2015. Cox proportional hazards model was applied to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CVD and all-cause mortality.
A total of 800 deaths, of which 136 died of CVD, were ascertained within a median 7.8 years of follow-up. Urinary thiocyanate was positively correlated with total CV intake among non-smoking adults ( = 0.088, < 0.001). Comparing extreme quartiles, the multivariate-adjusted HRs for CVD and all-cause mortality were 0.50 (95% CI: 0.29-0.85) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.60-0.92), respectively. Each 1 μg/g creatinine increment of log-transformed urinary thiocyanate was associated with a 25% (HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.62-0.91) reduced CVD mortality risk and 12% (HR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.81-0.96) reduced all-cause mortality risk. The documented inverse associations persisted in sensitivity analyses.
Increased levels of urinary thiocyanate, a candidate biomarker of CV intake, were associated with low risks of CVD and total mortality among non-smoking adults. This prospective biomarker-based study provided further evidence to support the cardiovascular benefits of CVs.
关于十字花科蔬菜(CV)摄入量与心血管疾病(CVD)的流行病学研究尚无定论。
研究尿硫氰酸盐(一种CV摄入量的生物标志物)与非吸烟成年人的CVD及全因死亡率之间的关联。
这项前瞻性队列研究纳入了2001 - 2014年美国国家健康与营养检查调查中的10489名非吸烟成年人(加权平均年龄46.8岁;男性占43.4%)。非吸烟者定义为血清可替宁<3 ng/mL的受试者。在基线时采用离子色谱串联质谱法测量尿硫氰酸盐,并通过与国家死亡指数进行关联确定CVD和全因死亡率,随访至2015年12月31日。应用Cox比例风险模型估计CVD和全因死亡率的风险比(HR)及95%置信区间(CI)。
在中位7.8年的随访期内,共确定800例死亡,其中136例死于CVD。非吸烟成年人中尿硫氰酸盐与总CV摄入量呈正相关(r = 0.088,P < 0.001)。比较四分位数极端值,CVD和全因死亡率的多变量调整后HR分别为0.50(95%CI:0.29 - 0.85)和0.75(95%CI:0.60 - 0.92)。对数转换后的尿硫氰酸盐每增加1 μg/g肌酐,CVD死亡风险降低25%(HR:0.75;95%CI:0.62 - 0.91),全因死亡风险降低12%(HR:0.88;95%CI:0.81 - 0.96)。在敏感性分析中,所记录的反向关联依然存在。
尿硫氰酸盐水平升高(一种CV摄入量的候选生物标志物)与非吸烟成年人的CVD低风险和总死亡率低风险相关。这项基于前瞻性生物标志物的研究为支持CV对心血管的益处提供了进一步证据。
