We examined the associations of dietary cholesterol and egg intakes with cardiometabolic and all-cause mortality among Chinese and low-income Black and White Americans. Included were 47,789 Blacks, 20,360 Whites, and 134,280 Chinese aged 40-79 years at enrollment. Multivariable Cox models with restricted cubic splines were applied to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mortality outcomes using intakes of 150 mg cholesterol/day and 1 egg/week as the references.

Objective: We examined the associations of circulating choline, betaine, carnitine, and dimethylglycine (DMG) with cardiometabolic biomarkers and their potential dietary and nondietary determinants.
Methods: The cross-sectional analyses included 32,853 participants from 17 studies, who were free of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Background: Religiosity, encompassing spirituality and religious practices, is associated with reduced disease incidence among individuals of low socioeconomic status and who self-identify as Black. We hypothesized that religiosity associates with reduced end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) risk among Black but not White adults of low socioeconomic status.
Design: Cox models of religiosity and ESKD risk in 76,443 adults.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between dietary choline intake and mortality due to cardiometabolic diseases among diverse populations, including black, white, and Chinese adults.
- Findings indicated that higher choline intake was significantly associated with increased cardiometabolic and all-cause mortality, particularly among blacks and Chinese, while the connection was weaker for whites.
- The research also highlighted that factors like overall diet quality and alcohol consumption could influence the relationship between choline and mortality outcomes.
