Objective
To investigate the association between the Mediterranean lifestyle and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Patients and Methods
This population-based, prospective, observational study used data from the UK Biobank cohort, collected from March 13, 2006, through July 31, 2010, and included 158,080 participants without CKD who completed a dietary assessment. The main predictor was the Mediterranean Lifestyle (MEDLIFE) index, comprising 3 blocks: (1) Mediterranean food consumption, (2) Mediterranean dietary habits, and (3) physical activity, rest, social habits, and conviviality. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the association between the MEDLIFE index and incident CKD. Further analysis was conducted to examine the associations between the individual blocks and items of the MEDLIFE index and the incidence of CKD.
Results
At baseline, individuals with a higher MEDLIFE index score had lower blood pressure and body mass index and were less likely to have diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease. During median follow-up of 11.2 years, CKD occurred in 4354 participants (2.75%). The adjusted hazard ratio per 1-point increase in the MEDLIFE index for incident CKD was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.93 to 0.96). Compared with quartile 1 of the MEDLIFE index, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for quartiles 2 to 4 were 0.80 (0.74 to 0.87), 0.76 (0.70 to 0.82), and 0.65 (0.59 to 0.72), respectively. This favorable association was consistently observed for all 3 blocks of the MEDLIFE index.
Conclusion
These results suggest that a higher MEDLIFE index is associated with a lower risk of incident CKD.

Objective
To elucidate the interplay between genetic predisposition and cardiovascular health (CVH) factors in individuals with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy sarcomere-encoding genes (SARC-HCM-P/LP).
Methods
This retrospective cohort study used data from the UK Biobank, including 159,375 participants aged 40 to 69 years with whole exome sequencing data and no baseline cardiovascular disease. Participants were stratified into 2 groups based on the presence of SARC-HCM-P/LP variants (SARC-HCM-P/LP vs SARC-NEG). Cardiovascular health was assessed by the Life’s Essential 8 score, categorizing participants into favorable, intermediate, and unfavorable CVH profiles. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular mortality. Adjusted Cox models examined the association between genetic variant status, CVH, and risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Results
Of 159,375 participants, 446 were SARC-HCM-P/LP carriers (median age, 56 years; 47.3% male). The median Life’s Essential 8 score was similar between SARC-HCM-P/LP and SARC-NEG groups (68.1 vs 66.9; P=.36). Compared with SARC-NEG carriers with favorable CVH, the risk of the primary outcome was higher in SARC-NEG carriers with intermediate (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj), 1.14; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.18) and unfavorable (HRadj, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.47 to 1.58) CVH profiles. Importantly, SARC-HCM-P/LP carriers, regardless of CVH profile, had a significantly higher risk of the primary outcome with favorable (HRadj, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.45 to 3.09), intermediate (HRadj, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.51 to 3.18), and unfavorable (HRadj, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.65 to 3.19) profiles.
Conclusion
SARC-HCM-P/LP carriers remain at elevated cardiovascular risk despite favorable CVH, highlighting the significant role of genetics in this population.

Art is integrated into the Mayo Clinic environment. Since the original Mayo Clinic Building was finished in 1914, many pieces have been donated or commissioned for patients and staff to enjoy. Each issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings features a work of art (as interpreted by the author) that is displayed in a building or on the grounds of Mayo Clinic campuses.
