A retrospective analysis of > 4,200 people ages 20-49 compared BMI, waist circumference (WC), and body fat percentage (BF) as predictors of 15-year mortality (all cause, heart disease, and cancer). Both BF and WC were significantly associated with all-cause and cardiac mortality; BMI was not a predictor of any mortality measure.

BioMed CentralAssociation of planetary health diet index with depression and mortality in the United States - BMC PsychiatryBackground Given the changes in global environmental conditions and dietary patterns, understanding the potential impact of dietary factors on the risk of depression is crucial. The Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) is a dietary scoring system that integrates human health and environmental sustainability. This study aims to evaluate the association between the PHDI, the risk of depression, and mortality. Methods Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2018. Depression was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), with a score ≥ 10 indicating depression. PHDI calculated from 14 self-reported dietary groups, ranges from 0 to 140. Multivariable weight logistic and linear regression explored the association of PHDI with depression and total PHQ-9 score. Cox proportional hazards regression examined PHDI associations with mortality. Additional analyses included restricted cubic spline (RCS), threshold analyses, subgroup analyses, and multiple imputation. Results Adjusting for confounding variables, each 10-point increase in PHDI was associated with an 11% lower risk of depression (OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.84, 0.94), 0.13 score of total PHQ (β=-0.13, 95% CI=-0.18, -0.08), and 17% of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.73, 0.95). RCS indicated an inverse L-shaped association between PHDI and depression, and threshold effects analyses showed that the above associations were more significant in those with PHDI ≥ 76.01. Conclusions Adherence to the PHDI dietary pattern is associated with a reduced risk of both depression and all-cause mortality. PHDI may provide dietary guidance for the early prevention and intervention of depression.

"In the industrialized and post-industrial world, death usually arrives late. [...] Even animal deaths are hidden from view: We buy the shrink-wrapped meat of creatures whose faces we have never seen. Mortality remains an inescapable fact, but it has been tamed, sanitized, and banished to the margins of our consciousness."

Interview: "Facing the Climate Crisis and Human Mortality"

The consequences of a society unable to accept its own mortality: People can't grasp the facts of the fragility of our ecosystem & can't manage the emotional impact of that.

The Chris Hedges Report · Facing the Climate Crisis and Human Mortality (w/ Eiren Caffall) | The Chris Hedges ReportVon Chris Hedges

Nearly HALF of all children in the U.S. died by the age of 5 in the early 1800s. By the early 2000s, it was less than 1%.

What changed?

Scientific progress! Vaccines, antibiotics, pasteurization, chlorinated water, and the data to support regulations that would keep adulterants, pollutants and Germs out of the food and water supplies.

Now all of that is changing, thanks largely to the anti-science agenda of Trump and RFK Jr., as well as some trends that began before their tenure.

TB, which killed nearly 1 in 7 people in the U.S., is now relatively rare, thanks to antibiotics and screening. Though it's also making a comeback, with some multi-drug resistant strains. The WHO estimates that drug resistant super bugs could kill 10 million people a year by 2050 if urgent action isn't taken, something that is much less likely to happen in the US, with the slashing of science and research funding under Trump. However the problem precedes both Trump and RFK, stemming from years of overuse and misuse of antibiotics, primarily in animal agriculture, but also due to doctors misprescribing them for viral infections and due to patients not completing their course of treatment.

Smallpox, which killed 80% of all children it infected, no longer exists, thanks to vaccines. However, measles was gone, too, until antivax hysteria over the past 20 years caused many parents to forego vaccinations for their kids. Consequently, we're now seeing an uptick in measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis. As well as polio in many parts of the world.

Pasteurization kills many germs that spread through milk, including diphtheria, typhoid, E coli, salmonella, listeria, etc. It also kills bird flu. But many Americans, including RFKJr., keep pushing the false notion that raw milk is safer and healthier. Pasteurization, named for the scientist Louis Pasteur (who, incidently, had dyslexia and dysgraphia), is believed to have saved millions of lives, not only by keeping milk free of deadly pathogens, but also by extending its shelf life, thus providing greater access to this nutrient-rich food for children.

Federal regulations and monitoring have reduced the amount of adulterants, toxins and pollutants in the food and water supply, significantly reducing mortality. In the 1800s, tens of thousands died from cholera in the US, including Presidents Polk & Taylor, due mostly to fecal contamination of the water supply. Though water-chlorination is not currently under attack by RFK, he is calling for an end to fluoridation, which has helped keep millions of low income kids from getting cavities and losing their teeth. And RFK has been bragging about swimming with his grandkids in contaminated rivers, as if to condition us to embrace further deregulation and attacks on public health.
