  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: CHNS is an ongoing, large-scale, household-based cohort starting in 1989. The survey used a multi-stage, random cluster process to draw a sample of 9 provinces and municipal cities, which take up about half of Chinese population.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults aged ≥20 with complete data on diet and follow-up time

Who cannot join

  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Diabetes (for analyses of diabetes)
  • Body mass index ≥ 24 kg/㎡ (for analyses of overweight)
  • Hypertension (for analyses of hypertension)

About this study

Official title: Saturated Fatty Acids Intake and Mortality, Diabetes, Hypertension and Overweight in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS)

The role of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) intake in the development of total death, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and overweight are in great controversy but evidence from large population in China is scant.The investigators aim to use the data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey to assess the long-term association of SFAs intake with total mortality, diabetes, hypertension and overweight.

Read the detailed description

The role of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) intake in the development of total death, diabetes, hypertension and overweight are in great controversy but evidence from large population in China is lacking.The investigators aim to utilize the data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey. The investigators will calculate the cumulative average intake of SFAs based on 3 consecutive 24-h dietary recalls in each round.Sex-specific Cox regression models will be used to estimate the relative risk.Results from our work will be used to provide epidemiological evidence for improving recommendation on SFAs intake for Chinese in dietary guidelines.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mortality

    Incidence of all-cause death, on basis of household members' report

    Measured: From baseline until death or censoring on 31 December 2011, whichever came first, assessed up to an average of 10 years

  2. Diabetes

    Incidence of diabetes, on basis of self-reported physician diagnosis, fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/l or HbA1c ≥ 6.5%

    Measured: From entry into the study (baseline: 1997-2009) until 2011

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Saturated fatty acids intake

    Cumulative average intake of saturated fatty acids on basis of 3 consecutive 24-h dietary recalls

    Measured: From entry into the study (baseline: 1997-2009) until 2011

  2. Hypertension

    Incidence of hypertension, on basis of self-reported physician diagnosis, systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg

    Measured: From entry into the study (baseline: 1997-2009) until 2011

  3. Overweight

    Incidence of overweight, on basis of body mass index (BMI), BMI ≥ 24 kg/㎡

    Measured: From entry into the study (baseline: 1997-2009) until 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Morality and Diabetes, run by Zhejiang University.

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 4 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 15 Mar 2024. 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?

Mortality (time frame: From baseline until death or censoring on 31 December 2011, whichever came first, assessed up to an average of 10 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03281512, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Mar 2024.
