About this study

Official title: The Association of Fast Food and Full Service Restaurant Densities With Mortality From Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, and the Prevalence of Diabetes

In this cross sectional study, county level data for CVD and stroke mortality, and prevalence of T2D, were combined with per capita densities of FFR and FSR and analysed using multiple and simple linear regression. Mortality and diabetes prevalence were corrected for poverty, ethnicity, education, physical inactivity and smoking to reduce confounding effects.

Read the detailed description

the investigators used data on mortality rate (per 100,000 individuals) for CVD and stroke (between 2011 and 2013, age>35years) from the publicly available Centers for disease prevention and control (CDC) web site (www.cdc.gov). CVD mortality was defined as the number of deaths per 100,000 person-years due to circulatory causes (International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes I00-I99). Detailed information on preparation, definition, download and sorting of data on prevalence of T2D (age-adjusted), poverty and ethnicity have been explained elsewhere. In brief, county level data on the prevalence of T2D were downloaded from the USA CDC web site (www.cdc.gov). Data on T2D was estimated using data from the CDC Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) which is a monthly state based telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of adults aged >20 years old. In 2012, the year for which these data were downloaded, the survey included landline telephones only and hence excluded individuals living in care homes or those without a landline telephone. More than 400,000 individuals are contacted annually to take part in the survey which has been running since 1984. Individuals are judged to have diabetes if they respond 'yes;' to the question "Has a doctor ever told participants that you have diabetes?", excluding females who indicate in a follow-up question that they only had diabetes during pregnancy. Previous work indicates that self-report of a physician's prior diagnosis of diabetes is highly reliable compared to medical records. This question does not separate those with type 1 and T2D. In the adult population of the USA more than 96% of diabetes is type 2, the investigators therefore called the estimated prevalence that of T2D. Given the magnitudes of the trends described here they cannot be attributed to differences in prevalence of the type 1 diabetes. Data on rate of mortality (per 100,000 individuals) from CVD and stroke (between 2011 and 2013, age>35years) were also downloaded from CDC web site (www.cdc.gov, National Vital Statistics System and National Centre for Health Statistics). A previous variogram analysis has established that counties are an appropriate spatial level at which to explore the associations of factors to T2D prevalence.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

association between densities of fast food (FFR) and full service restaurants (FSR) with mortality from CVD and stroke, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). (time frame: 2011 to 2013). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03243253, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2017.
