Association between GDF15, poverty and mortality in urban middle-aged African American and white adults	2020-08-07		.txt	text/plain	4977	221	43	Multivariable adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess the association between log-transformed GDF15 (logGDF15) and 12-year mortality outcomes (all-cause, cardiovascularand cancer-specific outcomes) and interactions with sex, race and poverty status. The objectives of the present study were to assess the association between serum GDF15 and all-cause and cause-specific mortality, and to identify interactions between GDF15 and sex, race and poverty status in a large cohort of community-based middle-aged adults recruited from Baltimore, Maryland. In a community-dwelling cohort of younger urban adults (mean age 49.6) with diverse racial and socioeconomic status, we found that elevated serum GDF15 level was strongly associated with all-cause mortality, CVD-and cancer-specific mortality risk. Our findings of increased risk of mortality due to all-causes and CVD and elevated GDF15 levels in a diverse cohort are consistent with results of previous studies conducted in apparently healthy, community-dwelling adults [12-15, 17, 18] .	./cache/cord-294645-yzh8h7zo.txt	./txt/cord-294645-yzh8h7zo.txt
