Heavy drinking was well associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), whereas the effect of low-to-moderate drinking on HCC remains under debate. Participants from the UK Biobank with detailed information on alcohol use and free of common diseases were included. Daily pure alcohol intake (g/day) was calculated, and the predominant alcoholic beverage type was assigned for each participant. Additive Cox regression model and nonlinear Mendelian randomization (NLMR) analyses were performed to evaluate the association of alcohol intake with HCC. Of 329,164 participants (52.3%...
Background: Globally, diabetes brought an enormous burden to public health resources and the situation of disease burden caused by diabetes in China is especially severe. China is currently facing the dual threat of aging and diabetes, and wearable activity trackers could promote elderly diabetic patients’ physical activity levels and help them to manage blood glucose control. Therefore, examining the influencing factors of elderly patients’ adoption intention is critical as wearing adoption determines actual wearing behaviors. Objective: This study aims to explore the predicting factors o...
