Article Synopsis
- Lactose intolerance (LI) is a condition that usually develops in later life when the lactase enzyme is deficient, and this study aimed to investigate its association with colon cancer (CCa) and gastric cancer (GC) using a large database from 2004 to 2014.
- A cross-sectional analysis of over 71 million patients found that those with LI were generally older, more female, more likely to be obese, and had lower alcohol consumption compared to those without LI.
- Results indicated that while LI patients showed slightly lower rates of CCa and GC, these findings were not statistically significant, suggesting the need for further research on the topic.
Purpose: Excessive daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent and has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, but evidence for its association with cardiovascular mortality is limited and inconsistent. We aimed to determine whether excessive daytime sleepiness is independently associated with cardiovascular mortality in general adult population.
Patients And Methods: A prospective study of 10,330 adult participants (aged ≥20 years) from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 and 2007-2008 was followed up until December 31st, 2015.
