all-cause

In fact, the FDA is starting to look at all-cause mortality for some drugs.

It could simply be that genetics or some other factor X increases lean mass and decreases all-cause mortality.

Furthermore, because the outcomes are disjoint (cardiac survival vs stroke vs sudden death vs all-cause mortality, etc) there is no simple way to combine the results.

Personality, socioeconomic status, and all-cause mortality in the United States.

The studies thus-far have only shown that people who have occupations that require standing tend to have lower all-cause mortality than those whose occupations usually involve sitting.

On the bright side there seems to be a reduction in heart disease (with some of them like olive oil) from their polyunsaturated fatty acids, which however doesn't improve all-cause mortality.

In other news, all-cause mortality has been steadily declining in all developed countries throughout our lifetimes,[1] so with that in mind, maybe unemployment today is less dangerous than it ever used to be.

Including this one on magnesium, 'In a study of 4,035 men followed for 18 years, the highest quartile with serum magnesium at baseline compared with the lowest had a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease and a 50% decrease in cancer deaths'.

One of my problems with this study (and many preliminary medical intervention studies hyped mostly by press releases) is that it deals with a biomarker--telomere length--rather than with a hard endpoint, for example actual improved cancer survival and reduced all-cause mortality in the patients.

Placebos are NOT effective in treating actual disease states or improving "hard endpoints" such as reduction of all-cause mortality or major morbidity from specific diseases with verifiable physiological signs.

First of all, it is plain that screening test programs that are not based on "hard endpoints" (actual reductions in all-cause disease or death) often end up being discovered to be wastes of time and money and the cause of needless patient worries.

And if the Hispanic advantage does have something to do with culture — with strong, supportive communities and healthy behaviors — then that is something that the rest of the country can emulate." Better understanding the long-term, steady drop in all-cause mortality in the United States at all ages[1] may help us find ways to keep that trend[2] going, further lengthening lifespans for all Americans.

The abstract states that "significant inverse associations were also observed for fatal CHDs and fatal CVDs (P for trend ≤.03) but not for all-cause mortality events." So going to a sauna 4-7 times a week for these middle-aged Finnish men decreased their chance of dying from a heart attack.
