The objective of the study was to examine the association between a functional 4 bp proinsulin gene insertion polymorphism (IVS‐69), fasting insulin concentrations, and body composition in black South African women. Body composition, body fat distribution, fasting glucose and insulin concentrations, and IVS‐69 genotype were measured in 115 normal‐weight (BMI <25 kg/m2) and 138 obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) premenopausal women. The frequency of the insertion allele was significantly higher in the class 2 obese (BMI ≥35kg/m2) compared with the normal‐weight group (P = 0.029). Obese subjects with the insertion allele had greater fat mass (42.3 ± 0.9 vs. 38.9 ± 0.9 kg, P = 0.034) and fat‐free soft tissue mass (47.4 ± 0.6 vs. 45.1 ± 0.6 kg, P = 0.014), and more abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT, 595 ± 17 vs. 531 ± 17 cm2, P = 0.025) but not visceral fat (P = 0.739), than obese homozygotes for the wild‐type allele. Only SAT was greater in normal‐weight subjects with the insertion allele (P = 0.048). There were no differences in fasting insulin or glucose levels between subjects with the insertion allele or homozygotes for the wild‐type allele in the normal‐weight or obese groups. In conclusion, the 4 bp proinsulin gene insertion allele is associated with extreme obesity, reflected by greater fat‐free soft tissue mass and fat mass, particularly SAT, in obese black South African women. 相似文献

Objective: The elevated prevalence of obesity among U.S. blacks has been attributed to low socioeconomic position (SEP), despite inconsistent empirical findings. It is unclear whether low SEP at various lifecourse stages differentially influences adulthood BMI and BMI change. Research Methods and Procedures: Among 1167 black adults in the Pitt County Study, we examined independent cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations between SEP, measured in childhood and adulthood, and BMI and 13‐year BMI change. Low vs. high childhood SEP was measured by parental occupation and childhood household deprivation; low vs. high adulthood SEP was assessed by employment status, education, and occupation. Using childhood and adulthood SEP, four lifecourse SEP categories were created: low‐low, low‐high, high‐low, high‐high. Results: We found no consistent associations between SEP and BMI or BMI change among men. Among women, we observed the expected inverse association between SEP and BMI at baseline. In multivariable‐adjusted analyses, socioeconomically advantaged women demonstrated larger 13‐year increases in BMI: skilled vs. unskilled parental occupation (6.1 vs. 4.8 kg/m2, p = 0.04); college‐educated vs. < high school (6.2 vs. 4.5 kg/m2, p = 0.04); white‐collar vs. blue‐collar job (5.8 vs. 4.8 kg/m2, p = 0.05); and high‐high vs. low‐low lifecourse SEP (6.5 vs. 4.6 kg/m2, p = 0.02). Discussion: For women in this black cohort, lower SEP predicted earlier onset of obesity; however, low SEP was less predictive of BMI increases over time. Our findings demonstrate complex patterns of association between SEP and BMI change among black women. 相似文献

Obesity is associated with numerous risk factors and comorbidities such as hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. However, numerous studies have reported an obesity paradox; the overweight and obese patients with established cardiovascular disease have better prognosis than those with a BMI <25 kg/m2. This study was designed to assess potential differences in the clinical profile and management of hypertensive outpatients with chronic ischemic heart disease in obese and lean patients that could explain these two apparently contradictory points. Overweight and obesity were defined as a BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2 and ≥30 kg/m2, respectively. Cardiovascular risk factors goals were considered according to European Society of Hypertension‐European Society of Cardiology 2003, National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III and American Diabetes Association 2005 guidelines. A sample of 2,024 patients (66.8 ± 10.1 years; 31.7% women) was included. Of these, 0.1% had a BMI <20 kg/m2; 17.1% BMI 20–24.9 kg/m2; 53.7% BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2; 23.7% BMI 30–34.9 kg/m2; 4.3% BMI 35–39.9 kg/m2; and 1.1% BMI ≥40 kg/m2. The subgroup of patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 had a higher proportion of women, diastolic dysfunction, diabetes, dyslipidemia, left ventricular hypertrophy, and heart failure. There was an inverse relationship between risk factors control rates and BMI (all comparisons BMI 20–24.9 kg/m2 vs. 25–29.9 kg/m2 vs. ≥30 kg/m2): blood pressure (BP) control (51.7% vs. 42.4% vs. 29.2%, P < 0.001); low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) control (35.2% vs. 30.5% vs. 27.9%, P = 0.03) and diabetes control (38.6% vs. 27.6% vs. 22.2%, P = 0.023). In conclusion, in patients with hypertension and chronic ischemic heart disease, as BMI increases, the clinical profile worsens as well as risk factors control rates. 相似文献

Objective: To assess the association between the Ala54Thr genetic polymorphism of the fatty acid‐binding protein 2 (FABP2) gene with insulin resistance and obesity. Research Methods and Procedures: According to a sampling scheme based on BMI, 33 adult obese women (BMI ≥ 30) and 30 adult normal‐weight women (BMI > 18.5 and < 25 kg/m2) were recruited for this study. Women with chronic inflammatory diseases or acute pathology were excluded. Glucose, insulin, leptin, lipids, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) were measured in fasting plasma samples. Insulin resistance was estimated through the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance method. The Ala54Thr allelic variant was determined by polymerase chain reaction, followed by restriction fragment‐length polymorphism analysis. Results: The Thr54 allele was more frequent in obese than in nonobese women (47.0% vs. 31.7; p = 0.08). Among obese women, higher TNFα concentrations were found when comparing the Thr54/Thr54 genotype (30.0 ± 7.1 pg/mL) with either the Ala54/Thr54 genotype (21.2 ± 8.4 pg/mL) or the Ala54/Ala44 genotype (20.1 ± 7.0 pg/mL) (p < 0.05). In addition, higher fasting plasma insulin and leptin levels were found among Thr54/Thr54 homozygotes compared with the other genotypes (p < 0.05). Discussion: Our results suggest that the Ala54Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. The effect of this polymorphism might be mediated by elevated production of TNFα. 相似文献

Objective: This study examines the relationship between body mass and the risk of spontaneous abortion in a large cohort of patients who received infertility treatment. Research Methods and Procedures: This is a retrospective study using data on pregnancies (n = 2349) achieved after treatment in a tertiary medical center from 1987 to 1999. One pregnancy per subject was included, and the subjects were stratified into five body mass groups based on body mass index (BMI): underweight, <18.5 kg/m2; normal, 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2; overweight, 25 to 29.9 kg/m2; obese, 30 to 34.9 kg/m2; and very obese, ≥35 kg/m2. Logistical regression analysis was used. Results: The overall incidence of spontaneous abortion was 20% (476 of 2349). The effect of BMI on the risk of spontaneous abortion was significant after adjusting for several independent risk factors. Compared with the reference group (BMI 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2), underweight women had a similar risk of spontaneous abortion, whereas there was progressive increase of risk in overweight, obese, and very obese groups (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, respectively). Discussion: Of all known risk factors for spontaneous abortion, the control of obesity has great significance because it is noninvasive, potentially modifiable, possibly amenable to low cost, and self‐manageable by patients. This study established a positive relationship between BMI and the risk of spontaneous abortion in women who became pregnant after assisted reproductive technology treatment. 相似文献

Objective: To identify, among obese African‐American enrollees in an outpatient weight loss program, differences between those with and without obesity‐related comorbidities (ORCMs). Research Methods and Procedures: Data were from 237 obese African Americans (BMI, 30 to 50 kg/m2; 90% women) who enrolled in a 10‐week lifestyle weight loss program. Analyses compared subgroups defined by ORCM status (from medical history) on baseline characteristics, program attendance, and postprogram weight change. Results: Most participants (76%) had one or more ORCMs. Those with versus without ORCMs, respectively, were older (mean age, 45.6 vs. 37.1 years; p < 0.001), were less educated (59.2% vs. 76.6% with >12 years; p = 0.031), were more likely to perceive a physical limitation affecting activity (22.2% vs. 1.8%; p < 0.001), and had higher waist circumference (mean, 113.7 vs. 106.9 cm; p < 0.001) but not BMI (38.3 vs. 37.0 kg/m2; p = 0.095). Logistic regression analyses confirmed the independence of these associations. Having ORCMs was not associated with class attendance or return for data collection after the 10‐week program. Postprogram weight change (n = 134) was unrelated to ORCMs, but better weight loss was seen among those without perceived physical limitations (1.9 vs. 0.4 kg in those without versus with limitations; p = 0.069). Conclusion: Data from this clinical sample of obese African Americans suggest that waist circumference is relevant to ORCM status at BMI levels up to 50 kg/m2. Clear indications for tailoring of treatment based on ORCM status were not identified, although the possible influence of ORCM‐related activity limitations warrants further study. 相似文献

Objective: To examine the effects of dietary protein and obesity classification on energy‐restriction‐induced changes in weight, body composition, appetite, mood, and cardiovascular and kidney health. Research Methods and Procedures: Forty‐six women, ages 28 to 80, BMI 26 to 37 kg/m2, followed a 12‐week 750‐kcal/d energy‐deficit diet containing higher protein (HP, 30% protein) or normal protein (NP, 18% protein) and were retrospectively subgrouped according to obesity classification [pre‐obese (POB), BMI = 26 to 29.9 kg/m2; obese (OB), BMI = 30 to 37 kg/m2). Results: All subjects lost weight, fat mass, and lean body mass (LBM; p < 0.001). With comparable weight loss, LBM losses were less in HP vs. NP (?1.5 ± 0.3 vs. ?2.8 ± 0.5 kg; p < 0.05) and POB vs. OB (?1.2 ± 0.3 vs. ?2.9 ± 0.4 kg; p < 0.005). The main effects of protein and obesity on LBM changes were independent and additive; POB‐HP lost less LBM vs. OB‐NP (p < 0.05). The energy‐restriction‐induced decline in satiety was less pronounced in HP vs. NP (p < 0.005). Perceived pleasure increased with HP and decreased with NP (p < 0.05). Lipid‐lipoprotein profile and blood pressure improved and kidney function minimally changed with energy restriction (p < 0.05), independently of protein intake. Discussion: Consuming a higher‐protein diet and accomplishing weight loss before becoming obese help women preserve LBM. Use of a higher‐protein diet also improves perceptions of satiety and pleasure during energy restriction. 相似文献

The fat mass and obesity‐associated (FTO) gene was genotyped for the participants in the Dose‐Response to Exercise in postmenopausal Women (DREW) trial and analyses were performed to determine whether an FTO variant was associated with adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) before and after 6 months of moderate intensity exercise in white women (n = 234). The A/A homozygotes for rs8050136 had a higher BMI (kg/m2) compared to C/C homozygotes at baseline (32.8 (0.6) vs. 31.0 (0.4), respectively; P < 0.05) and at follow‐up (31.9 (0.6) vs. 30.4 (0.5), respectively; P < 0.05). Weight loss occurred after exercise, but there was no significant genotype by exercise interaction over time. Exploratory analyses among women exposed to moderate intensity exercise meeting, or exceeding, the physical activity recommendation found that those homozygous A/A lost significantly more weight than the C allele carriers (?3.3 (0.7) kg vs. ?1.4 (0.4) kg and ?1.5 (0.5) kg, respectively; P < 0.05). CRF, defined as VO2peak (oxygen consumption), increased after exercise and the magnitude of the increase was similar for each genotype. In conclusion, women genetically predisposed to being obese experienced weight loss and CRF benefits with moderate intensity exercise, with additional weight loss observed when the women met or exceeded the physical activity recommendations. 相似文献

Objective: To analyze the association of work‐related physical activity (WRPA) and leisure‐time physical activity (LTPA) with body mass index (BMI) and obesity in the Spanish adult population aged 20 to 60 years. Research Methods and Procedures: The data were taken from the 1993 Spanish National Health Survey. We analyzed a sample of 12,044 men and women representative of the Spanish population aged 20 to 60 years. BMI and frequency of obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) were obtained from self‐reported weight and height. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression models were constructed, adjusting for the main confounding factors. WRPA and LTPA were measured by two questions to classify subjects into four categories of physical activity. Results: Neither mean BMI nor percentage of obesity varied significantly (p > 0.05) by WRPA. Mean BMI was significantly higher (p < 0.01) in those who were inactive in their leisure time (25.90 kg/m2 in men and 24.43 kg/m2 in women) than in those who reported vigorous activity (24.42 kg/m2 and 22.97 kg/m2 in men and women, respectively). The odds ration (OR) for obesity decreased with increasing level of LTPA in both men (OR of 0.64 for vigorous activity) and women (OR = 0.68), showing a statistically significant dose‐response relation in both men (for linear trend, p = 0.0021) and women (p = 0.0245). Discussion: These results raise questions about the association between WRPA and obesity and suggest the need to reexamine models of the obesity epidemic that point to automation of the workplace as one of the major explanatory factors. 相似文献

Objective: Our goal was to examine the association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and obesity in a community‐based sample of self‐identified lesbians. Research Methods and Procedures: A diverse sample of women who self‐identified as lesbian was recruited from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Women (n = 416) were interviewed about sexual abuse experiences that occurred before the age of 18. Self‐reported height and weight were used to calculate BMI and categorize women as normal‐weight (<25.0 kg/m2), overweight (25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2), obese (30.0 to 39.9 kg/m2), or severely obese (≥40 kg/m2). The relationship between CSA and BMI was examined using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: Overall, 31% of women in the sample reported CSA, and 57% had BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2. Mean BMI was 27.8 (±7.2) kg/m2 and was significantly higher among women who reported CSA than among those who did not report CSA (29.4 vs. 27.1, p < 0.01). CSA was significantly related to weight status; 39% of women who reported CSA compared with 25% of women who did not report CSA were obese (p = 0.004). After adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, and education, women who reported CSA were more likely to be obese (odds ratio, 1.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.1–3.4) or severely obese (odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.1–5.2). Discussion: Our findings, in conjunction with the available literature, suggest that CSA may be an important risk factor for obesity. Understanding CSA as a factor that may contribute to weight gain or act as a barrier to weight loss or maintenance in lesbians, a high‐risk group for both CSA and obesity, is important for developing successful obesity interventions for this group of women. 相似文献

Several investigations have suggested that body fat distribution is influenced by nonpathologic variations in the responsiveness to Cortisol. Genetic variations in the glucocorticoid receptor (GRL) could therefore potentially have an impact on the level of abdominal fat. A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) has previously been detected with the BelI restriction enzyme in the GRL gene identifying two alleles with fragment lengths of 4.5 and 2.3 kb. This study investigates whether abdominal fat areas measured by computerized tomography (CT) are associated with this polymorphism in 152 middle-aged men and women. The less frequent 4.5-kb allele was found to be associated with a higher abdominal visceral fat (A VF) area independently of total body fat mass (4.5/4.5 vs. 2.3/2.3 kb genotype; men: 190.7 ± 30.1 vs. 150.7 ± 33.3 cm2, p=0.04; women: 132.7 ± 37.3 vs. 101.3 ± 34.5 cm2, p=0.06). However, the association with AVF was seen only in subjects of the lower tertile of the percent body fat level. In these subjects, the polymorphism was found to account for 41% (p=0.003) and 35% (p=0.007), in men and women, respectively, of the total variance in AVF area. The consistent association between the GRL polymorphism detected with BelI and AVF area suggests that this gene or a locus in linkage disequilibrium with the BelI restriction site may contribute to the accumulation of AVF. 相似文献

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) showed that three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs10968576, rs1412239, and rs824248) in the leucine-rich repeat and Ig domain containing 2 (LINGO2) were associated with obesity or type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to determine the influence of the LINGO2 variants on the gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Thus, we performed a case–control study including 964 GDM cases and 1,021 controls to test the associations between the three LINGO2 variants (rs10968576, rs1412239, and rs824248) and susceptibility to GDM. Logistic regression analyses showed no significant association between LINGO2 variations (rs10968576 and rs1412239) and GDM susceptibility, but we observed that LINGO2 rs824248 A > T was significantly associated with an increased risk of GDM using the dominant model (TT/AT vs. AA: adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05–1.51; p = 0.012) and the additive model (TT vs. AT vs. AA: adjusted OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.03–1.31; p = 0.016). In the additive model, a stronger risk effect of rs824248 was observed among obese women (prepregnancy body mass index [BMI] > 22 kg/m2, adjusted OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.12–1.59) compared with that in lean women (prepregnancy BMI ≤ 22 kg/m2, adjusted OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.86–1.21; p = 0.029 for heterogeneity test). Further interactive analyses also detected a significant multiplicative interaction between rs824248 and prepregnancy BMI for the risk of GDM (p = 0.041). These findings indicate that LINGO2 rs824248 may serve as a susceptibility marker for GDM in Chinese females. 相似文献

Objective: To investigate AGT secretion in cultured adipocytes from obese patients and its relationship with obesity‐related phenotypes, blood pressure, and the M235T polymorphism in the AGT gene. Research Methods and Procedures: Measurements, including anthropometry, body composition (DXA), and blood pressure, were performed in 61 overweight or obese women (BMI: 28 to 68 kg/m2). A subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue biopsy was used for adipocyte size determination and quantification of AGT secretion in the medium of cultured adipocytes. AGT M235T genotype was determined using polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: Adipose secretion of the AGT protein (range, 140 to 2575 ng/106 cells/24 h) was not significantly correlated with BMI, body fat, or blood pressure and did not vary according to the M235T polymorphism in the AGT gene. However, the AGT M235T polymorphism was associated with adipocyte size (111.6 ± 2.8, 108.8 ± 1.9, 118.2 ± 2.6 μm in MM, MT, and TT genotypes, respectively; p < 0.01) after adjustment for age and fat mass. An association between the AGT M235T polymorphism and adipocyte size (p < 0.02 adjusted for sex, age, and BMI) was found in another independent sample of 106 obese subjects (sex ratio, M/F 16/90; BMI, 29 to 70 kg/m2). Discussion: In cultured adipocytes from obese subjects, AGT secretion was not associated with body fat phenotypes, blood pressure, or fat cell size. However, results from two independent studies suggest an association between the AGT M235T polymorphism and adipocyte size. 相似文献

Objective: To describe the associations among BMI, knee cartilage morphology, and bone size in adults. Research Methods and Procedures: A cross‐sectional convenience sample of 372 male and female subjects (mean age, 45 years; range, 26 to 61 years) was studied. Knee articular cartilage defect score (0 to 4) and prevalence (defect score of ≥2), volume, and thickness, as well as bone surface area and/or volume, were determined at the patellar, tibial, and femoral sites using T1‐weighted fat‐saturation magnetic resonance imaging. Height, weight, BMI, and radiographic osteoarthritis were measured by standard protocols. Results: In multivariate analysis in the whole group, BMI was significantly associated with knee cartilage defect scores (β: +0.016/kg/m2 to +0.083/kg/m2, all p < 0.05) and prevalence (odds ratio: 1.05 to 1.12/kg/m2, all p < 0.05 except for the lateral tibiofemoral compartment). In addition, BMI was negatively associated with patellar cartilage thickness only (β = ?0.021 mm/kg/m2; p = 0.039) and was positively associated with tibial bone area (medial: β = +7.1 mm2/kg/m2, p = 0.001; lateral: β = +3.2 mm2/kg/m2, p = 0.037). Those who were obese also had higher knee cartilage defect severity and prevalence and larger medial tibial bone area but no significant change in cartilage volume or thickness compared with those of normal weight. Discussion: This study suggests that knee cartilage defects and tibial bone enlargement are the main structural changes associated with increasing BMI particularly in women. Preventing these changes may prevent knee osteoarthritis in overweight and obese subjects. 相似文献

Objectives: The effect of national exercise recommendations on adiposity is unknown and may differ by sex. We examined long‐term effects of aerobic exercise on adiposity in women and men. Research Methods and Procedures: This was a 12‐month randomized, controlled clinical trial testing exercise effect on weight and body composition in men (N = 102) and women (N = 100). Sedentary/unfit persons, 40 to 75 years old, were recruited through physician practices and media. The intervention was facility‐ and home‐based moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity aerobic activity, 60 min/d, 6 days/wk vs. controls (no intervention). Results: Exercisers exercised a mean 370 min/wk (men) and 295 min/wk (women), and seven dropped the intervention. Exercisers lost weight (women, ?1.4 vs. +0.7 kg in controls, p = 0.008; men, ?1.8 vs. ?0.1 kg in controls, p = 0.03), BMI (women, ?0.6 vs. +0.3 kg/m2 in controls, p = 0.006; men, ?0.5 kg/m2 vs. no change in controls, p = 0.03), waist circumference (women, ?1.4 vs. +2.2 cm in controls, p < 0.001; men, ?3.3 vs. ?0.4 cm in controls, p = 0.003), and total fat mass (women, ?1.9 vs. +0.2 kg in controls, p = 0.001; men, ?3.0 vs. +0.2 kg in controls, p < 0.001). Exercisers with greater increases in pedometer‐measured steps per day had greater decreases in weight, BMI, body fat, and intra‐abdominal fat (all p trend < 0.05 in both men and women). Similar trends were observed for increased minutes per day of exercise and for increases in maximal oxygen consumption. Discussion: These data support the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Institute of Medicine guidelines of 60 min/d of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity. 相似文献

Objective: To assess the relationship between dieting and subsequent weight change and whether the association varies by gender or race/ethnicity. Research Methods and Procedures: Male (n = 4100) and female (n = 4302) participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health who provided information on weight and height at baseline and two follow‐up assessments and were not missing information on weight control strategies or race were studied. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess whether dieting to lose or maintain weight at Wave I or II predicted BMI (kg/m2) change between adolescence and young adulthood (Wave II to III). Analyses were stratified by gender and took sampling weights and clustering into account. Results: At Wave I, the mean age of the participants was 14.9 years. Approximately 29.3% of female participants and 9.8% of male participants reported dieting in Wave I or II. Fewer African Americans than whites (6.2% vs. 10.0% and 25.5% vs. 31.2%, p = 0.007 and p = 0.02, among males and females, respectively) reported dieting. Between Waves II and III, participants gained on average 3.3 kg/m2. Independent of BMI gain during adolescence (Waves I to II), female participants who dieted to lose or maintain weight during adolescence made larger gains in BMI during the 5 years between Waves II and III (mean additional gain, 0.39 kg/m2; 95% confidence interval, 0.08 to 0.71) than their nondieting peers. The association was not significant among the male participants. The association was largest among African‐American female participants. Discussion: The results suggest that not only is dieting to lose weight ineffective, it is actually associated with greater weight gain, particularly among female adolescents. Female African‐American dieters made the largest BMI gains. 相似文献

Objective: Current guidelines recommend measurement of both BMI and waist circumference (WC) in individuals with BMI between 25.0 and 34.9 kg/m2. We investigated the relative contributions of BMI and WC toward identifying risk of adverse vascular events in a community‐based sample. Methods and Procedures: We evaluated Framingham Study participants (n = 4,195 person‐examinations, 53% women) using pooled logistic regression to assess the incremental prognostic utility of WC in predicting risk of a first cardiovascular disease (CVD) event in the three BMI categories (normal, <25 kg/m2; overweight, 25 to <30 kg/m2; obese, ≥ 30 kg/m2) and to assess the incremental prognostic utility of BMI and WC separately for predicting risk of a first cardiovascular event. Results: On follow‐up (16 years), 430 participants (158 women) had experienced a first CVD event. In overweight women, but not in overweight men, larger WC was found to be an independent predictor of CVD incidence, longitudinally (in women, multivariable‐adjusted odds ratio (OR) per s.d. increment in WC 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03–3.36, P = 0.04; in men adjusted OR per s.d. increment in WC 0.91, 95% CI 0.60–1.38, P = 0.66). In obese individuals and in those with normal BMI, WC was not associated independently with incident CVD. When BMI and WC were analyzed separately for predicting risk of a first cardiovascular event, the c statistics associated with the multivariable CVD models incorporating BMI vs. WC were nearly identical in men and women. Discussion: Knowledge of WC aids identification of vascular risk among overweight women. Among normal weight or obese women and men (regardless of BMI category) WC did not appear to substantially add to prediction of risk of vascular events. 相似文献

We investigated the association of restrained eating with BMI and weight gain while controlling for the influence of genes and shared environment. Participants were 1,587 twins enrolled in the University of Washington Twin Registry (UWTR). Restrained eating was assessed by the Herman and Polivy Restraint Scale. Height and weight were self‐reported on two occasions. Analyses used generalized estimating equations or multiple linear regression techniques. Restraint Scale scores were positively associated with both BMI (adjusted β = 0.39 kg/m2; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.34–0.44; P < 0.001) and weight gain (adjusted β = 0.33 pounds; 95% CI = 0.17–0.49; P < 0.001). High Restraint Scale scorers had an adjusted mean BMI of 27.9 kg/m2 (95% CI = 27.4–28.4) as compared to intermediate (mean = 25.5 kg/m2; 95% CI = 25.2–25.8) and low scorers (mean = 23.0 kg/m2; 95% CI = 22.7–23.3). In within‐pair analyses among 598 same‐sex twin pairs, the adjusted association between Restraint Scale scores and BMI persisted even when genetic and shared environmental factors were controlled for (adjusted β = 0.18; 95% CI = 0.12–0.24; P < 0.001), as did the association with weight gain (adjusted β = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.13–0.61; P = 0.003). In stratified analyses, dizygotic (DZ) twins differed more in BMI for a given difference in the Restraint Scale score than monozygotic (MZ) twins, for whom genetics are 100% controlled (adjusted β = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.20–0.44 vs. adjusted β = 0.10; 95% CI = 0.04–0.16; P = 0.001 for test of interaction). These data demonstrate that observed relationships between BMI, weight gain, and restrained eating, as assessed by the Restraint Scale, have a strong environmental influence and are not solely due to shared genetic factors. 相似文献

The A2350G polymorphism of exon 17 of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene (ACE) and the A1166C polymorphism of the 3-untranslated region (3-UTR) of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene (AGTR1) were tested for association with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) or arterial hypertension (AH) combined with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). The patients with EH or AH + DM2 did not differ significantly in ACE or AGTR1 allele or genotype frequencies from healthy subjects. Both polymorphisms were associated with LVH in EH. AGTR1 allele 1166C was more frequent in patients with LVH than without (33.6 vs. 20.7%) and affected the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in patients with EH (p = 0.007). The frequency of ACE allele 2350G in EH patients with LVH was 1.5 times higher, and that of genotype GG was 3.5 times higher, than in patients without LVH. LVMI differed significantly (p = 0.002) between patients with different ACE genotypes, being maximum in homozygotes GG and minimum in homozygotes AA. Thus, AGTR1 allele 1166C and ACE allele 2350G were identified as predisposing to LVH in EH. The two polymorphisms were not associated with the incidence or severity of LVH in patients with AH and DM2. 相似文献
