The relationship of body fat to metabolic disease: Influence of sex and ethnicity

Clinical investigations designed to determine risk profiles for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are usually performed in homogenous populations and often focus on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and fasting triglyceride (TG) levels. However, there are major ethnic differences in the relationship of these risk factors to outcomes. For example, the BMI risk threshold may be higher in blacks than in whites and higher in women than in men. Furthermore, a WC that predicts an obese BMI in white women only predicts a BMI in the overweight category in black women. In addition, overweight black men have a greater risk of developing type 2 DM than do overweight black women. Although TG levels are excellent predictors of insulin resistance in whites, they are not effective markers of insulin resistance in blacks. Among the criteria sets currently available to predict the development of CVD and type 2 DM, the most well known is the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome has 5 criteria: central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, fasting hyperglycemia, and hypertension. To make the diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome, 3 of the 5 factors must be present. For central obesity and low HDL, the metabolic syndrome guidelines are sex specific. Diagnostic guidelines should also take ethnic differences into account, particularly in the diagnosis of central obesity and hypertriglyceridemia.     

高血压患者胰岛素抵抗与代谢综合征及心血管事件的发生情况的相关性分析

目的:分析高血压患者胰岛素抵抗与代谢综合征及心血管事件的发生情况及其影响因素。方法:选择2014年6月至2017年9月解放军113医院及河南大学附属医院收治的382例高血压患者,根据是否存在胰岛素抵抗将其分为单纯高血压(对照组,n=212)和高血压伴胰岛素抵抗(实验组,n=170)。根据国际糖尿病联盟代谢综合征的相关定义将患者分为A组(代谢综合征,n=202)和B组(非代谢综合征,n=180)。比较患者的身高、体质量并计算其体质量指数(BMI)、收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP),检测两组受试者空腹血糖(FPG)、三酰甘油(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、肌酐(SCr)、血尿素氮(BUN)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、采用酶联免疫法测定高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、脂联素(APN)、空腹胰岛素(FINS)水平。随访1年并记录患者心血管事件发生情况。结果:实验组血清APN、FPG、FINS、HOMA-IR、hs-CRP水平与对照组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。A组患者SBP、DBP、BUN、APN、FPG、HOMA-IR、hs-CRP水平明显高于B组,HDL-C水平明显低于B组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。BUN、HDL-C、HOMA-IR、hs-CRP水平升高为高血压患者发生代谢综合征独立危险因素(P0.05)。随访1年后,对照组患者发生心血管事件72例,实验组144例。进一步采用多因素Logistic回归分析显示,血清TG、HDL-C、HOMA-IR、hs-CRP水平升高为高血压患者发生心血管事件的危险因素(P0.05)。结论:高血压伴胰岛素抵抗患者其胰岛素抵抗程度高于单纯高血压患者;胰岛素抵抗与代谢综合征显著相关,为高血压患者发生心血管事件的危险因素。     

Heritability and genetic correlations explained by common SNPs for metabolic syndrome traits

We used a bivariate (multivariate) linear mixed-effects model to estimate the narrow-sense heritability (h(2)) and heritability explained by the common SNPs (h(g)(2)) for several metabolic syndrome (MetS) traits and the genetic correlation between pairs of traits for the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) genome-wide association study (GWAS) population. MetS traits included body-mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting glucose (GLU), fasting insulin (INS), fasting trigylcerides (TG), and fasting high-density lipoprotein (HDL). We found the percentage of h(2) accounted for by common SNPs to be 58% of h(2) for height, 41% for BMI, 46% for WHR, 30% for GLU, 39% for INS, 34% for TG, 25% for HDL, and 80% for SBP. We confirmed prior reports for height and BMI using the ARIC population and independently in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) population. We demonstrated that the multivariate model supported large genetic correlations between BMI and WHR and between TG and HDL. We also showed that the genetic correlations between the MetS traits are directly proportional to the phenotypic correlations.     

Genetic and Environmental Contributions to Phenotypic Components of Metabolic Syndrome: A Population‐based Twin Study

The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) poses a serious public‐health problem worldwide. Effective prevention and intervention require improved understanding of the factors that contribute to MS. We analyzed data on a large twin cohort to estimate genetic and environmental contributions to MS and to major MS components and their intercorrelations: waist circumference (WC), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides (TGs), and high‐density lipoprotein–cholesterol (HDL‐C). We applied structural equation modeling to determine genetic and environmental structure of MS and its major components, using 1,617 adult female twin pairs recruited from rural China. The heritability estimate for MS was 0.42 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.00–0.83) in this sample with low MS prevalence (4.4%). For MS components, heritability estimates were statistically significant and ranged from 0.13 to 0.64 highest for WC, followed by TG, SBP, DBP, HDL‐C, and FPG. HDL‐C was mainly influenced by common environmental factors (0.62, 95% CI: 0.58–0.62), whereas the other five MS components were largely influenced by unique environmental factors (0.32–0.44). Bivariate Cholesky decomposition analysis indicated that the clinical clustering of MS components may be explained by shared genetic and/or environmental factors. Our study underscores the importance of examining MS components as intercorrelated traits, and to carefully consider environmental and genetic factors in studying MS etiology.     

Arterial Stiffness,Carotid Intima-Media Thickness,Endocan, and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin Type I Motif 9 Levels and Their Relationship With Disease Activity in Patients With Acromegaly With and Without Cardiovascular Risk Factors

ObjectiveCardiovascular complications such as cardiomyopathy and endothelial dysfunction, which are frequently seen in patients with acromegaly, are among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate arterial stiffness, carotid intima-media thickness, endocan level, and A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motif 9 level and their relationship with disease activity in patients with acromegaly with and without cardiovascular risk factors.MethodsA total of 60 patients with acromegaly—25 with active disease, 26 with well-controlled disease, and 9 with newly diagnosed disease—and 60 age-, sex-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy control subjects were enrolled in this study. All the subjects’ height, weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level, insulin, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), C-reactive protein , lipid, endocan, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motif 9 levels, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and carotid intima-media thickness were measured.ResultsThe SBP, DBP, FPG level, HbA1C level, and PWV of the acromegaly group were higher than those of the control group. In patients with acromegaly with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, the PWV was higher than that in the control group, and in patients with acromegaly without CVD risk factors, the PWV was similar to that in the control group. In a correlation analysis, a positive correlation was found between PWV and age, BMI, SBP, DBP, FPG level, and HbA1C level in the acromegaly group.ConclusionIn our study, we found that arterial stiffness increased in patients with acromegaly with CVD risk factors and that increased arterial stiffness was associated with hemodynamic (SBP and DBP) and metabolic (BMI, FPG level, and HbA1C level) parameters.     

Association between muscular strength and metabolic risk in Japanese women, but not in men

We examined whether cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen uptake, VO(2)max) and muscular strength (grip strength) are associated with individual and clustered metabolic risk factors independently of abdominal adiposity in Japanese men (n=110) and women (n=110) aged 20-69 years. Blood pressure, triglycerides (TG), HDL cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were assessed and metabolic risk score was calculated, which is the sum of the z scores for each individual risk factor. Waist circumference was measured and the area of visceral fat was assessed by MRI. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that VO(2)max was inversely associated with TG in men (p<0.05) and grip strength was negatively associated with FPG and metabolic risk score in women (p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively), independently of waist circumference. Adjusting for visceral fat instead of waist circumference, similar results were obtained in women (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively), but the association between VO(2)max and TG in men was attenuated to nonsignificant. This cross-sectional study demonstrates that muscular strength is inversely associated with plasma glucose levels and clustered metabolic risk factors independently of abdominal adiposity in Japanese women, but not in men.     

绝经后女性高尿酸血症患者性激素结合球蛋白与血尿酸的相关研究

目的：研究绝经后女性高尿酸血症患者血浆中性激素结合球蛋白（sexhormonebindingglobulin,SHBG）水平与血尿酸水平的相关性。方法：选取绝经后女性404例,其中高尿酸血症组204例,正常对照组200例,测量所有研究对象体重、身高、腰围、臀围、收缩压（SBP）、舒张压（DBP）,并计算体重指数（BMI）和腰臀比（WHR）,检测血尿酸（UA）、空腹血糖（FBG）、总胆固醇（TG）、甘油三酯（TC）低密度脂蛋白（LDL）、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、雌激素（E2）、雄激素（T）、空腹胰岛素（INS）及SHBG,并计算胰岛素抵抗指数（Homa-IR）。结果：与绝经后女性尿酸正常者相比,高尿酸血症的患者UA,WHR,TC,FBG,INS,Homa-IR明显升高（P〈0．01）,DBP,WAIST和LDL升高（P〈0．05）,SHBG水平明显下降（P〈0．01）;SHBG与INs、uA、TG呈显著负相关（P〈0．05）,SHBG与E2呈显著正相关P〈0．01）。结论：绝经后女性中高尿酸血症患者的低血浆SHBG水平与高血尿酸水平显著相关,血浆SHBG水平下降与胰岛素抵抗可能高度相关,低sHBG可能作为绝经后女性患高尿酸血症的高危因素。     

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and gender differences

In a comparative study, involving 500 subjects with 294 males and 206 females aged 30 years and above, data were collected from NIMS (National Institute of Medical Sciences) hospital and research centre and controls from the general population whose age and sex were matched with subjects during the years 2010 - 2011. Metabolic syndrome was present both in women and men corresponding to 29% and 23% of the women's and men's sample, respectively. The prevalence was higher in women than in men. In women, elevated BMI, low HDL cholesterol, increased waist circumference and hyperglycemia were significantly larger contributors to the metabolic syndrome while in men these were hypertension and elevated triglycerides. The contribution of several metabolic components to the metabolic syndrome is different in men and women. This might contribute to gender specific differences in the relative risk of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance.     

Familial aggregation of metabolic syndrome and its components in a large Chinese population

Objective: To investigate the familial aggregation of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in the Chinese. Methods and Procedures: A total of 17,954 subjects from 5,224 families with multiple siblings aged 25–64 years old (mean age 45.8 years, 51.6% male) were enrolled from a rural area of Anhui Province of China during 2004–2005. Anthropometric measurement, body composition, blood pressure, plasma lipids, and fasting glucose and insulin, as well as a questionnaire interview, were obtained from each participant. Results: Significant correlations among siblings were observed in all the traits examined, including BMI, waist circumference, total body and abdominal fat percentage, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin, insulin resistance index of homeostatic model assessment (HOMA‐IR), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood pressure, after adjustment for age, gender and some other covariates. The correlation coefficients varied from 0.18 for FPG to 0.42 for HDL‐C. In stratified analyses, we found siblings with a smaller age gap among them had higher intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for most of the above phenotypes than those with a greater age difference, and the correlation of systolic blood pressure (SBP) was stronger in male siblings than that in female. If the eldest sibling is affected by MetS or any of its components, younger siblings bear a twofold to threefold higher risk for developing MetS or any of its components than those with a healthy eldest sibling. Discussion: Our study demonstrated a significant familial resemblance as regards MetS and its components among the Chinese. Further studies are warranted to investigate specific genetic and environmental factors related to MetS in this population.     

Screening novel biomarkers for metabolic syndrome by profiling human plasma N-glycans in Chinese Han and Croatian populations

N-glycans play an essential role in biological process and are associated with age, gender, and body mass parameters in Caucasian populations, whereas no study has been reported in Chinese populations. To investigate the correlation between N-glycan structures and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components, we conducted a population-based study in 212 Chinese Han individuals. The replication study was performed on 520 unrelated individuals from a Croatian island Kor?ula. The most prominent observation was the consistent positive correlations between different forms of triantennary glycans and negative correlations between glycans containing core-fucose with MetS components including BMI, SBP, DBP, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) simultaneously. Significant differences in a number of N-glycan traits were also detected between normal and abnormal groups of BMI, BP, and FPG, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the level of monosialylated glycans (structure loadings = -0.776) was the most correlated with the MetS related risk factors, especially with SBP (structure loadings = 0.907). Results presented here are showing that variations in the composition of the N-glycome in human plasma could represent the alternations of human metabolism and could be potential biomarkers of MetS.     

脉搏波传导速度检测在评价高血压病患者大动脉弹性中的应用 与影响因素分析

目的:探讨脉搏波传导速度(PWV)检测在评估高血压病患者大动脉弹性中的应用价值与影响因素分析 方法:采用分层整体抽样法随机抽取高血压病患者2178例,同时抽取非高血压2182人作为对照组.应用Complior SP VP-1000动脉硬化检测仪测定颈一股动脉脉搏波传导速度(C-FPWV)评估大动脉弹性.采用多元逐步线性回归分析性别、年龄、体质指数(BMI)、收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三脂(TG)、空腹血糖(FPG)和尿酸(UA)等指标与高血压痛患者大动脉弹性下降的影响因素.结果:C-FPWV平均值高血压组(1594± 264cm/s)显著高于对照组(1216± 231cm/s),两组差异有显著性意义(X2=31.659,P=0.00).＞40岁各年龄段PWV值上升程度,高血压组明显高于对照组(X2＝ 18.954～36.924,P=0.00),两组PWV值上升程度与年龄呈正相关.多元逐步线性回归分析表明:BMI≥28kg/m2、SBP≥ 140mmHg、DBP≥90mmHg、TC＞5.28± 0.62 mmol/L、TG＞ 1.68± 0.64mmol/L等指标高血压组明显高于对照组(t=14.314～17.428,P＜0.05).在性别、UA和FPG等指标两组无明显差异(X2=6.368～13.618,P＞0.05).结论:高血压痛患者PWV值上升程度显著高于非高血压者,BMI、SBP、TG、TC是高血压病患者大动脉弹性下降的主要影响因素.PWV值可作为评价大动脉弹性的可靠指标.

Heritability of determinants of the metabolic syndrome among healthy Arabs of the Oman family study

The metabolic syndrome, as defined by the International Diabetes Federation, was investigated in five large, extended, highly consanguineous, healthy Omani Arab families of a total of 1277 individuals. Heritability (h2) of the phenotypic abnormalities that make up the syndrome and other related traits was estimated by variance decomposition method using SOLAR software. The overall prevalence of the syndrome was 23%. The prevalence of abnormalities making the syndrome in a descending order were: obligatory waist circumference, hypertension, raised fasting blood glucose, low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and raised serum triglycerides (TGs). Highly significant, but widely spread, h2 values were obtained for: height (0.68), weight (0.68), BMI (0.68), serum HDL (0.63), serum leptin (0.55), percentage body fat (0.53), total serum cholesterol (0.53), fasting serum insulin (0.51), homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (0.48), serum TG (0.43), waist circumference (0.40), diastolic blood pressure (0.38), and 2-hour glucose level (0.17), whereas for the metabolic syndrome itself, h2 was 0.38. The wide spread of h2 results (0.07 to 0.68) indicates that some determinants, such as weight, BMI, and HDL level, are under significant genetic influence among the Omani Arabs. Other determinants such as insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, diastolic blood pressure, and TG levels seem to be more environmentally driven.     

Epidemiology and factor analysis of obesity, type II diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (syndrome X) on the Island of Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia

OBJECTIVES: Obesity, type II diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Though these disorders often cluster in individuals and families and are collectively known as syndrome X, the basis for this aggregation is not well understood. To further understand the pathogenesis of syndrome X, a comprehensive epidemiological study was undertaken on the Pacific Island of Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). METHODS: The entire adult (>20 years of age) population of Kosrae underwent a clinical evaluation that included a questionnaire that noted the participants' sex, family data including listing of biological parents, siblings, and children, smoking status, village of residence, age and health status. The medical evaluation included: anthropometric measures (weight, height, waist, hip), serum chemistries (leptin, fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and apolipoproteins B and A-I (apo B and apo A-I) and blood pressure (BP) measurements. RESULTS: Obesity (BMI >/=35) was found in 24%, diabetes (FBS >/=126 or 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test >/=200) in 12%, hypertension (SBP >/=140 or DBP >/=90) in 17%, and dyslipidemia (TC >/=240 or TG >/=200 or apo B >/=120 or apo A-I 相似文献   

Cigarette smoking, blood pressure and serum lipids and lipoproteins in middle-aged women

The relationship of cigarette smoking with blood pressure and serum lipids and lipoproteins was studied in the 3934 middle-aged women aged 40 to 59 years. After adjusting age, body mass index (BMI), alcohol intake and physical activity scores, the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DEP, respectively) did not indicate dose-dependent relationships. The largest significant mean differences in SBP (4.6 mmHg), DBP (3.9 mmHg), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (9.6 mg/dL), ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C (TC/HDL-C) (0.8), triglycerides (TG) (22.9 mg/dL) and the logarithmic transformation of TG (Log TG) (0.26) were found between the non-smokers and smokers. When age, BMI, alcohol intake and physical activity scores were included in the forward stepwise multiple regression analyses, there were negative relationships found for cigarette smoking and SBP, DBP and HDL-C and positive relationships for cigarette smoking and TC/HDL-C, TG, Log TG and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Although the results are somewhat variable, the present study shows cigarette smoking is negatively associated with SBP and DBP and unfavorably associated with serum lipids and lipoproteins in middle-aged women.     

Comparison of the Relative Contributions of Intra‐Abdominal and Liver Fat to Components of the Metabolic Syndrome

Abdominally obese individuals with the metabolic syndrome often have excess fat deposition both intra‐abdominally (IA) and in the liver, but the relative contribution of these two deposits to variation in components of the metabolic syndrome remains unclear. We determined the mutually independent quantitative contributions of IA and liver fat to components of the syndrome, fasting serum (fS) insulin, and liver enzymes and measures of hepatic insulin sensitivity in 356 subjects (mean age 42 years, mean BMI 29.7 kg/m²) in whom liver fat and abdominal fat volumes were measured. IA and liver fat contents were correlated (r = 0.65, P < 0.0001). In multivariate linear regression analyses including either liver or IA fat, liver fat or IA fat explained variation in fS‐triglyceride (TG) and high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, plasma glucose, insulin and liver enzyme concentrations, and hepatic insulin sensitivity independent of age, gender, subcutaneous (SC) fat, and/or lean body mass (LBM). Including both liver and IA fat, liver and IA fat both explained variation in TG, HDL cholesterol, insulin and hepatic insulin sensitivity independent of each other and of age, gender, SC fat, and LBM. Liver fat independently predicted glucose and liver enzymes. SC fat and age explained variation in blood pressure. In conclusion, both IA and liver fat independently of each other explain variation in serum TG, HDL cholesterol, insulin concentrations and hepatic insulin sensitivity, thus supporting that both fat depots are important predictors of these components of the metabolic syndrome.     

Adiposity,central body fat distribution and blood pressure among young Bengalee adults of Kolkata,India: sexual dimorphism

A cross-sectional study of 174 men and 153 women of Bengalee ethnicity was undertaken to compare levels of adiposity, central body fat distribution and blood pressure. The mean age of both the sexes were similar (men = 20.1 years; women = 20.0 years). Significantly more women (n = 42, 27.5%) were overweight (body mass index, BMI > or = 25.0 kg/m2) as compared with men (19, 10.9%). Men were significantly taller and heavier. They also had significantly greater mean waist (WC) and mid upper arm (MUAC) circumferences compared with women. On the other hand, women had significantly (p < 0.001) greater mean BMI, biceps (BSF), triceps (TSF) and subscapular (SSF) skinfolds. The mean values of systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressure were significantly greater among men. These significant differences existed even after controlling for BMI. Regression analyses revealed that sex had significant effect on all these variables even after controlling for BMI. Correlation studies showed that WC was found to be much more strongly correlated than BMI with SBP, DBP and MAP, in both sexes. However, when the effect of WC (along with BMI) was also controlled for, there was no significant sex difference in blood pressure.
