Ikofu sesinye seziselo ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kwihlabathi, kwaye yamkelwe kakuhle kakhulu phakathi kweembaleki kunye nabantu abayikhathaleleyo indlela abaphila ngayo. Ukusetyenziswa kwayo kuye kwadibaniswa ngamaxesha amaninzi kunye nomngcipheko ophantsi wohlobo lwe-2 yeswekile kunye nesifo senhliziyo, nangona ngoku, un kufunda yongeze inzuzo entsha: inokuthintela ukuwa kubantu abadala.
Ikofu inokuba ngumhlobo wabantu abadala
Uphando lunobunzima obukhulu kwiYunivesithi ye-Autonomous yaseMadrid (UAM), iZiko loPhando lwezeMpilo kwiSibhedlele seYunivesithi yaseLa Paz (IdiPAZ), i-Biomedical Research Consortium kwi-Epidemiology kunye neNethiwekhi yezeMpilo yoLuntu kunye ne-Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies kuKutya. Iziphumo zibonisa ukuba ikhofi yokusela idibene nomngcipheko ophantsi wokuwa kwabathathi-nxaxheba be-Seniors-ENRICA (Estudio de Nutrición y Riesgo Cardiovascular en España) kunye ne-UK Biobank (eUnited Kingdom).
Ukuwa kuxhaphake kakhulu phakathi kwabantu abadala, kwaye yenye yezinto ezibangela ukwenzakala, ukukhubazeka, nokufa kwangaphambi kwexesha. «Ezi ziphumo zibonisa ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwekofu akubangeli umngcipheko wokuwa kule ndawo.«, utsho uMarcos D. Machado-Fragua, umbhali wesifundo.
U kufunda Abadala-ENRICA Yaqala ngo-2008-2010 ngabantu baseSpain abangama-3.290 abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-60 abavela kwilizwe lonke. Kwelinye icala, isifundo UK Biobank Yaqala ngo-2006-2010 ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwabathathi-nxaxheba abangama-81.720, nabangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-60 ubudala nakulo lonke elase-United Kingdom.
Zombini izifundo ziqokelele ulwazi lwe-sociodemographic; yeendlela zokuphila, imeko yempilo kunye nokuxilongwa kwezifo, kunye neesampuli zegazi kunye nomchamo. Baye balandelelwa emva kweminyaka eyi-7 eyalandelayo. «Ekugqibeleni, sabona ukuba abathathi-nxaxheba abadla ikhofi epheleleyo kunye nekhofi ye-caffeinated babenomngcipheko ophantsi wokuwa. Ngaphaya koko, kuphononongo lwaBadala-ENRICA kwaphawulwa ukuba abathathi-nxaxheba ababenomlinganiselo ophezulu we-caffeine babenomngcipheko ophantsi wokuwa ngeziphumo ezithambileyo zomzimba", uphawula u-Esther Lopez-Garcia, umbhali-mbhali wesifundo.
Ababhali baxabisa ukuba «Nangona iziphumo zihambelana kwezi zibini zabemi kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuphila kunye neempawu ze-sociodemographic, uphando oluninzi luyafuneka ukuze kuqinisekiswe le mibutho kwabanye abantu kunye nokumisela ukuba yeyiphi i-coffee constituents ejongene nombutho obonwayo.«. Kuyinyani ukuba ukusela ikofu kunokuba luncedo kwaye kukhuseleke kubantu abadala, kodwa ingcebiso yobuqu iya kufuneka malunga nokuba kufuneka bathathe malini ukuze bangazisi ezinye iingxaki zempilo.
