After adjusting for age, body mass index, baseline blood pressure and other potential confounders, the hazard ratio for incident hypertension was 1.76 for older women in the highest quartile of the albumin/creatine ratio (median, 6.5 mg/g) compared to their peers in the lowest quartile (1.0 mg/g).

Increased albuminuria, even in the upper limits of normal, is associated with an increased risk of incident hypertension, new research indicates

After adjustment for factors such as age, sex, smoking status, body mass index, cholesterol, and physical activity, those Whitehall II participants who reported sleeping 5 hours or less a night at the first interview had a hazard ratio of death from all causes of 1.24, relative to those who slept 7 hours per night.

Patterns were similar for full and for any breast-feeding In Cox regression analyses, the risk of not being exclusively breast-fed was reduced among infants born in hospitals with low compliance (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.9) and more so among infants born in hospitals with high compliance (0.8) relative to infants born in non-baby-friendly hospitals.

A significantly increased risk for attempted suicide was found in those with gestational age-adjusted short birth length, defined as length between 39 and 47 cm (hazard ratio 1.29), as well as in those born fourth or later in birth order (hazard ratio 1.79).

The association remained significant after the investigators adjusted for age, sex, age of onset of RA, presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, and the use of a lipid-lowering agent (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.25), said Dr.
