Jurgens SM, Prieto S, Hayes JP. Inflammatory biomarkers link perceived stress with metabolic dysregulation. Brain Behav Immun Health 2023; 34:100696. [PMID: 37928770 PMCID: PMC10623170 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbih.2023.100696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Perceived stress has been identified as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. However, the intermediate pathways underlying this relationship are not well understood. Inflammatory responses may be one process by which stress leads to metabolic dysregulation. Prior work has shown that chronic stress is associated with elevated systemic inflammation and that altered inflammatory activity contributes to the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. The current analyses tested this hypothesis by examining inflammation as a pathway by which perceived stress affects metabolic health. Methods Data from the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS) (N = 648; Mean age = 52.3) provided measures of perceived stress, inflammatory biomarkers [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), E-selectin, fibrinogen, intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)] and metabolic health markers. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to confirm the fit of a hierarchical model of metabolic syndrome in our sample. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the assumption that inflammation mediates the association between perceived stress and the latent factor representing metabolic syndrome. Results The CFA of metabolic syndrome demonstrated excellent goodness of fit to our sample [CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.06, SMSR = 0.05]. Mediation analysis with SEM revealed that the indirect pathway linking stress to metabolic dysregulation through inflammation was significant [B = 0.08, SE = 0.01, z = 3.69, p < .001, 95% confidence interval CI (0.04, 0.13)]. Conclusions These results suggest that inflammatory biomarkers are a viable explanatory pathway for the relationship between perceived stress and metabolic health consequences. Interventions that target psychosocial stress may serve as cost-effective and accessible treatment options for mitigating inflammatory health risks.

Prakaschandra R, Naidoo DP. The association between the hypertriglyceridaemia waist phenotype, cardiovascular risk factors and the metabolic syndrome in South African Asian-Indians. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2022; 16:102524. [PMID: 35660930 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2022.102524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The combination of high triglycerides and increased waist circumference (HTGW) has not been examined as a predictor of cardiometabolic abnormalities or the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in high-risk Asian populations. This study examines the so-called hypertriglyceridemia waist (HTGW) phenotype, (high serum triglycerides [Tg]) and increased waist circumference (WC) as a predictor of cardiometabolic abnormalities in a high-risk Asian population. METHODS Data from the Phoenix Lifestyle Project, a cross-sectional study of 1349 South Asian Indians (15-65 years; 379 men; 970 women) in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, were reclassified into different waist and Tg phenotypes using the demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical parameters. The HTGW phenotype was defined as WC ≥ 90 cm for men; ≥80 cm for women & TG ≥ 1.7 mmol/L. The MetS was determined using the harmonised criteria. Stepwise logistic regression was used to determine the strength of each phenotype as a predictor of the MetS. RESULTS The HTGW phenotype was recorded in 35.4% of participants, predominantly women (36.1%) and 8.2% smokers. Metabolic derangements and cardiovascular risk factors increased significantly in those with HTGW phenotype. After adjustment, multivariate logistic regression showed that the association between elevated total serum cholesterol, LDL, lowered HDL, diabetes and hypertension with HTGW persisted. The odds for participants with the HTGW phenotype developing the MetS was 19.7 (95% CI 13.9; 27.9). The degree of concordance between the HTGW was highest with the IDF and harmonised criteria for MetS. CONCLUSION The HTGW phenotype was associated with a significantly higher risk of developing additional lipid derangements, hypertension, diabetes and the MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Some studies have found a positive association between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and metabolic syndrome; however, none are from India. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1040 adults aged between 18 and 50 years. Individuals from the annual health check-up setting were screened using anthropometry and biochemistry. Based on the results, they were identified as with and without metabolic syndrome. We excluded individuals who were already diagnosed with metabolic syndrome or those who were already on medication for diabetes mellitus or hypertension or dyslipidemia. All the participants were administered the Rome III questionnaire for the diagnosis of IBS. RESULTS Metabolic syndrome was found in 307 of 1040 (29.5%) while 33 of 1040 (3.2%) had IBS. The proportion of IBS was not significantly different between participants with and without metabolic syndrome (1.6% vs 3.8% respectively; P = 0.06). Those with IBS had significantly greater mean weight (72.4 vs 67.2 kg; P = 0.009), mean waist circumference (88.8 vs 85.2 cm; P = 0.011), mean body mass index (BMI) (26.2 vs 24.2 kg/m2; P = 0.002), and higher mean fasting glucose (96 vs 89 mg/dL; P < 0.000) respectively. CONCLUSION The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and IBS are comparable to previous literature from India. There was no association between metabolic syndrome and IBS.

Abstract
AIM To identify the profiles and factors associated with progression/regression of ultrasound-derived hepatic steatosis with type 2 diabetes mellitus seen at a tertiary diabetes center in southern India. METHODS Participants were individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus with at least two consecutive ultrasound measurements available. Hepatic steatosis was assessed using high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography. Admittedly ultrasonography has lower sensitivity and specificity, however, it is the only modality available in a routine clinical setting to screen for hepatic steatosis. Progression or regression of hepatic steatosis was assessed after a mean follow-up of 3.0 ± 2.1 years and correlated with clinical and biochemical parameters. RESULTS A total of 1835 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were studied, of whom 88.6% had some form of hepatic steatosis at baseline which included mild steatosis (grade 1) in 982 (53.5%), moderate steatosis (grade 2) in 628 (34.2%) and severe steatosis (grade 3) in 15 (0.8%). Hepatic steatosis progression, regression or no change in grade of hepatic steatosis were seen in 21.5%, 26.6% and 51.9% of participants. Increase in body weight, body mass index, glycated haemoglobin, serum triglycerides and gamma glutamyl transferase were the factors associated with progression of hepatic steatosis, whereas regression showed reduction in body weight, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin. CONCLUSION Among South Indian type 2 diabetes patients with hepatic steatosis, severity of steatosis progressed in 1/3rd while it regressed in 1/4th. These retrospective data need proper ascertainment in controlled studies.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a cluster of known disorders that increase the risk for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This cross sectional study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of MetS using Adult Treatment Panel 3 (ATP 3) classification and socio-demographic and lifestyle factors contributing to metabolic syndrome among rural indigenous Malaysian population from Perak state, Malaysia which included 148 rural Malay and 145 Orang Asli(OA) individuals. This community based cross-sectional study revealed that the prevalence of MetS was significantly higher among Malays (27.7%) as compared to Orang Aslis (13.8%). Overall Prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in the rural indigenous Malaysian population was 20.8%. Prevalence of abdominal obesity and high blood pressure were significantly higher among Malays as compared to OA population. Metabolic syndrome was significantly higher among those above 45 years of age group in overall rural indigenous Malaysian population and among OA. The prevalence of MetS was significantly higher among those who were obese and overweight and among Malays who were regularly taking snacks between meals. There was no significant association between other dietary risk factors, smoking, alcohol use or physical activity with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on body composition, metabolic and cardiovascular risk variables, and lower limb strength in participants who are overweight/obese. DATA SOURCES A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted in 3 databases (PubMed-MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) from inception through to January 26, 2020. STUDY SELECTION Studies analyzing the effect of WBVT on body composition variables, metabolic profile, blood pressure, heart rate, and lower limb strength in the population who are overweight/obese, with interventions of a minimum length of 2 weeks were included. DATA EXTRACTION After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 studies involving 884 participants who were obese/overweight (experimental group: 543; weight=79.9 kg; body mass index (BMI) =31.3 kg/m2, obesity class I according to World Health Organization) were used in the quantitative analysis. The sex of the participants involved in the studies were as follows: (1) 17 studies included only female participants; (2) 1 study included only boys, and (3) 5 studies included both sexes. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, and meta-regression methods were used to calculate the mean difference and standardized mean difference (SMD; ± 95% confidence intervals [CIs]) as well as to analyze the effects of pre-post intervention WBVT and differences from control groups. DATA SYNTHESIS WBVT led to a significant decrease in fat mass (-1.07 kg, not clinically significant). In addition, WBVT reduced systolic blood pressure (-7.01 mmHg, clinically significant), diastolic blood pressure (-1.83 mmHg), and heart rate (-2.23 bpm), as well as increased the lower extremity strength (SMD=0.63; range, 0.40-0.86). On the other hand, WBVT did not modify the weight, BMI, muscle mass, cholesterol, triglycerides, or glucose. CONCLUSIONS WBVT could be an effective training modality to reduce blood pressure (clinically relevant) and resting heart rate. In addition, WBVT led to improved lower limb strength. However, these findings were not consistent with significant improvements on other variables associated with metabolic syndrome (body composition, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose).

Abstract
Objectives To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia obesity (SO) in healthy Indian adults and delineate the relative impact of the 3 indices of obesity [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fat mass percent (FM%)] with regards to inter-definitional agreement and their relationship with usual gait speed (GS). Methods Apparently healthy adults (aged ≥ 20 years) with no background history of comorbidities were enrolled from the community by door-to-door survey. Following blood investigations, individuals with biochemical abnormalities were excluded. Enrolled participants underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Sarcopenia was defined according to EWGSOP2 consensus based on indigenous cut-offs obtained from the Sarcopenia-Chandigarh Urban Bone Epidemiological Study (Sarco-CUBES). Obesity was defined based on BMI (≥ 25.0 kg/m2) or WC (> 90 cm in men, > 80 cm in women) or DXA-derived FM% (> 32% in men, > 40% in women). Results Data of 804 participants were analyzed after exclusion. The mean ± SD for BMI, WC, and FM% were 26.5 ± 2.7 kg/m2, 86.8 ± 9.6, and 34.7 ± 7.3%, respectively. Prevalence of sarcopenia was 3.2%. Based on BMI, WC, and FM%, the prevalence of SO in elderly subjects (≥65 years) was 5.4%, 5.4%, and 6.3%, respectively. Using Cohen’s kappa, inter-definitional agreement between the 3 groups was ‘almost perfect’. FM%, and not BMI/WC, emerged as a significant predictor of GS on multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusions The prevalence of SO in healthy elderly Indian adults is 5.4%–6.3%. Either BMI/WC/FM% can be used to correctly identify individuals with SO.

Abstract
Longer survival due to use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has made human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) infected individuals prone to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Metabolic syndrome (MS), a constellation of risk factors which increase chances of the cardiovascular disease and diabetes, can increase the morbidity and mortality among this population. Hence, the present study was conducted with the objectives of estimating the prevalence and determinants of MS among ART naïve and ART-treated patients and assess their 5-year CVD risk using the reduced version of Data Collection on Adverse Effects of Anti-HIV Drugs (D : A : D) risk prediction model (D : A : D(R)). This hospital-based cross-sectional study included 182 adults aged ≥ 18 years. MS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel-3 (NCEP ATP-3) criteria. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were done to identify the factors associated with MS. Prevalence of MS was 40.1% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 33.0%-47.2%). About 24.7% of the participants had at least a single criterion for MS. Age >45 years (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.3; 95% CI = 1.1-4.9, p < 0.018) and body mass index (BMI) > 23 kg/m2 (AOR = 6.4; 95% CI = 3.1-13.1, p < 0.001) were positively associated with MS, whereas daily consumption of high sugar items was inversely associated (AOR = 0.2; 95% CI = 0.1-0.5, p < 0.001). More than 50% of the participants were found to have moderate or high 5-year CVD risk. Observed prevalence of MS among HIV patients was higher than other studies done in India. Considering a sizeable number of participants to be having moderate to high CVD risk, culturally appropriate lifestyle interventions need to be planned.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review was done to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) among adult general population in India. We also wanted to find the gender, setting, and region-wide distribution of MS in India. METHODS We conducted systematic searches in various databases including Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane library and Google Scholar from inception until August 2019. We included studies conducted in India reporting the prevalence of MS among adults aged 18 years or more. We used the Newcastle Ottawa scale to assess the quality of included studies. We carried out a meta-analysis with random-effects model and reported pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used the Funnel plot to assess publication biases. RESULTS In total, we analysed 113 data from 111 studies with 133,926 participants. Majority of the included studies (76 out of 111) had low risk of bias. We found significant heterogeneity among the included studies (p<0.001). We also found a symmetrical funnel plot indicating an absence of publication bias. The prevalence of MS among adult population in India was 30% (95%CI: 28%-33%). There was a steady increase in the burden across the age groups from 13% (18-29 years group) to 50% (50-59 years). We also found that people living in urban areas (32%; 95%CI: 29%-36%) had higher prevalence when compared to tribal (28%; 95%CI: 21%-36%) or rural adults (22%; 95%CI: 20%-25%). Gender distribution of MS showed that the females had higher prevalence (35%; 95%CI: 31%-38%) when compared to males 26% (95%CI: 22%-29%). CONCLUSION Almost one in three adults in India suffer from MS. Females, people living in urban areas and in northeast region had higher prevalence of MS. Development and implementation of policies and protocols for the screening of MS would enable us in early diagnosis and treatment with special focus towards the vulnerable and high-risk groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is growing worldwide, yet remains underinvestigated in Canadian young adults. We sought to explore the use of a harmonized case definition specific to early-onset metabolic syndrome and determine its feasibility in assessing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among electronic medical record (EMR) data of young adults in Northern Alberta. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study using a sample of EMR data from young adult patients aged 18-40 years and residing in Northern Alberta, who had an encounter with a participating primary care clinic between June 29, 2015, and June 29, 2018. Physical examination, laboratory investigation and disease diagnosis data were collected. A case definition and algorithm were developed to assess the feasibility of identifying metabolic syndrome, including measures for body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), dysglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension. RESULTS Among 15 766 young adults, the case definition suggested the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 4.4%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.1%-4.7%. The most frequent 3-factor combination (41.6%, 95% CI 37.9%-45.3%) of metabolic syndrome criteria consisted of being overweight or obese, having elevated BP and hypertriglyceridemia. Half of metabolic syndrome cases (51.3%, 95% CI 47.6%-55.0%) were missing measures for fasting blood glucose, and one-fifth were missing a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level. Notably, most young adults with a BMI of 25 or greater were missing HbA1c (68.7%, 95% CI 67.6%-69.8%), fasting blood glucose (84.0%, 95% CI 83.2%-84.8%) and triglyceride testing (79.0%, 95% CI 78.1%-79.9%). INTERPRETATION We have shown that our case definition is feasible in identifying early-onset metabolic syndrome using EMR data; however, the degree of missing data limits the feasibility in assessing prevalence. Further investigation is required to validate this case definition for metabolic syndrome in the EMR data, which may involve comparing this definition to other validated metabolic syndrome case definitions.

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome by different definitions, and its association with type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular disease risk in Brazil. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2020; 14:1217-1224. [PMID: 32682310 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2020.05.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2020] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is increasing in developing countries. Different definitions of MS lead to discrepancies in prevalence estimates and applicability. We assessed the prevalence of MS as defined by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Plan III (Modified NCEP) and Joint Interim Statement (JIS); compared the diagnostic performance and association of these definitions of MS with pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. METHODS A total of 714 randomly selected subjects from Northeastern Brazil were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical data were recorded. Diagnostic test performance measures assessed the ability of the different MS definitions to identify those with pre-diabetes, T2DM and increased CVD risk. RESULTS The adjusted prevalence of MS was 36.1% applying the JIS criteria, 35.1% the IDF and 29.5% Modified NCEP. Women were more affected by MS according to all definitions. MS was significantly associated with pre-diabetes, T2DM and CVD risk following the three definitions. However, the JIS and IDF definitions showed higher sensitivity than the Modified NCEP to identify pre-diabetes, T2DM and CVD risk. The odds ratios for those conditions were not significantly different when comparing the definitions. CONCLUSIONS MS is highly prevalent in Brazil, particularly among those with pre-diabetes, T2DM, and high CVD risk. The IDF and JIS criteria may be better suited in the Brazilian population to identify pre-diabetes, T2DM and CVD risk. This may also signify the importance of the assessment of MS in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose In this study, we tried to investigate the effects of curcumin and Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics, given individually and in combination, to insulin, adipokines and nitric oxide changes and insulin resistance as experimental treatment of metabolic syndrome. Methods Five groups were formed in the study. Fructose (20%) was administered with drinking water for 8 weeks to develop metabolic syndrome. For treatment, curcumin (100 mg/kg/day) and L. acidophilus (2 × 108 cfu/ml/day) were given individually or in combination for the last four weeks. At the end of the experiment; insulin, resistin, leptin, adipokines, apelin and nitric oxide levels were determined by ELISA test kits. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, albumin and total protein levels were determined by autoanalyzer. Results The levels of apelin, resistin, glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride increased significantly (P < 0.05) in the fructose added to drinking water groups whereas curcumin and L. acidophilus probiotics given individually or together groups for treatment started to decrease and the nitric oxide level decreased significantly. Insulin resistance was found to be significantly higher in the group with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance developed. In the curcumin and probiotics given group, it was determined that the insulin resistance score was lowered compared to the group only given fructose. The administration of L. acidophilus probiotic and curcumin in rats with metabolic syndrome caused by fructose improves hormone levels and reduces insulin resistance. Conclusions These results showed that the addition of dietary curcumin as an antioxidant and probiotic could provide a natural alternative for the treatment of metabolic syndrome induced by fructose.

Abstract
The concept of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, altered glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, and hypertension) has been around for more than 30 years. It is considered to be the result of complex interactions between centrally located fat, insulin resistance, subclinical inflammation, and other factors in genetically predisposed individuals. MetS diagnosis in adults has been linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). However, MetS in children and adolescents remains a controversial issue despite the extensive research in the field. It is still uncertain which definition should be used for its diagnosis in this age group, what is the clinical significance of such a diagnosis, and how reliably it can predict the future risk of developing CVD and T2D. Even if a child is diagnosed with MetS, management includes addressing each of the syndrome's components individually with weight loss and lifestyle modifications as the basic approach. Co-morbid conditions, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and polycystic ovary syndrome should also be considered. It seems that MetS in children and adolescents should be used clinically as a conceptual framework for the identification of risk factors clustered around obesity and insulin resistance rather than a syndrome that needs to be diagnosed by measuring absolute "all-or-none" criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS There are rising levels of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a precursor of these conditions, but the data on the prevalence of MS in SSA are fragmented. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of MS in SSA and determine the population groups that are most at risk. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase and African Journals Online for all published articles reporting MS prevalence in SSA populations. Random effects models were used to calculate the pooled prevalence overall and by major study-level characteristics. A total of 65 studies across fourteen different countries comprising 34,324 healthy participants aged ≥16 years were included in the meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of MS according to the different diagnostic criteria was: IDF: 18.0% (95%CI:13.3-23.3), IDF-ethnic: 16.0% (95%CI:11.3-21.4), JIS: 23.9% (95%CI: 16.5-32.3), NCEP-ATP III: 17.1% (95%CI:12.8-22.0) and WHO: 11.1% (95%CI:5.3-18.9). The prevalence of MS was higher in women than in men, and higher in (semi-)urban than in rural participants. The MS prevalence was highest in Southern Africa, followed by Eastern, Western and Central Africa. Substantial heterogeneity in the prevalence estimates across studies were not explained by major study-level characteristics, while apparent publication biases were likely artefactual. CONCLUSIONS MS is not rare in SSA. The prevalence of MS was highest for women, populations in urban areas, and populations in Southern Africa. Public health intervention efforts are needed to prevent further increases in the burden of MS in the region.

Abstract
The present study assessed the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in an urban south Indian population in individuals with different grades of glucose tolerance. A total of 1500 individuals (900 normal glucose tolerance (NGT), 300 prediabetes and 300 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)) who were not on vitamin D supplementation were randomly selected from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiological Study follow-up study. Anthropometric, clinical examination and biochemical investigations (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), insulin, glycated Hb (HbA1c) and serum lipids) were measured. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25(OH)D < 20·0 ng/ml, insufficiency as 20-29·9 ng/ml and sufficiency as ≥30 ng/ml. Of the 1500 individuals studied, 45 % were males and the mean age was 46 (sd 12) years. Vitamin D levels lowered with increasing degrees of glucose tolerance (NGT: 21 (sd 11); prediabetes: 19 (sd 10); T2DM: 18 (sd 11) ng/ml, P < 0·001). The overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 55 % and was significantly higher among individuals with T2DM (63 %) followed by prediabetes (58 %) and NGT (51 %) (Pfor trend < 0·001). Women had 1·6 times the risk of vitamin D deficiency compared with men (unadjusted OR 1·6 (95 % CI 1·3, 2·0) and adjusted OR 1·6 (95 % CI 1·2, 1·9)). However, there was no increasing trend observed with increasing age. The prevalence of abdominal obesity (66 v. 49 %), generalised obesity (80 v. 64 %), the metabolic syndrome (45 v. 37 %) and insulin resistance (38 v. 27 %) was significantly higher in those with vitamin D deficiency compared with those without. This study shows that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in this urban south Indian population and was higher among individuals with T2DM and prediabetes compared with those with NGT.

Abstract
Light and moderate drinking is associated with lower risk of metabolic syndrome (Mets)-related diseases in the general population. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered to be a phenotype of Mets in the liver. Although there have been some reports of the association between NAFLD and light alcohol consumption (LAC), the association between Mets-related diseases and LAC in the subjects with and without fatty liver is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the influence of LAC on Mets-related diseases in individuals with and those without fatty liver. This study included 1,190 men who underwent regular health check-ups and consumed <20 g/day of alcohol. The subjects were divided into two groups, the non-fatty liver group and fatty liver group, and investigated the association between Mets-related diseases and LAC. Fatty liver was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound. The effect of LAC was different between the non-fatty liver and fatty liver groups. In the non-fatty liver group, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 1.73 (1.04-2.88;2 P=0.035). In the fatty liver group, the OR for each Mets-related diseases were as follows: Dyslipidemia, 0.64 (0.44-0.95, P=0.028); impaired glucose tolerance 0.57 (0.37-0.88; P=0.012); chronic kidney disease, 0.58 (0.36-0.94; P=0.029); and Mets by Japanese criteria, 0.63 (0.44-0.92; P=0.016). The influence of LAC on Mets-related diseases differs based on the presence of fatty liver. In individuals without fatty liver, light drinking is an independent risk factor for hypertension.

Abstract
AIM To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among industrial workers in Kerala, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure among 2287 industrial workers (mean age 46 years, men 70%) from selected industries of two southern most Kerala districts using standard protocol in 2009. MS was defined according to international diabetes federation (IDF), Adult Treatment Panel (ATP-III) and American Heart Association(AHA)/National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) criteria (Harmonization). Age-standardized prevalence of MS was assessed for men and women. Multivariable logistic regression models were developed to find the associated factors of MS. RESULTS Age-standardized prevalence of MS was 14% (men 14%, women 15%), 19% (men 19%, women 21%) and 27% (men 30%, women 21%) as per IDF, ATP-III and Harmonization criteria respectively. Overweight adults were nine times (OR 9.41, 95% CI 7.34-12.06), twelve times (OR 11.80 CI 9.38-14.84), and four times (OR 3.56, CI 2.94-4.29) more likely to have MS compared to their counterparts according to IDF, ATP-III and Harmonization criteria respectively. Older adults and current alcohol users were more likely to have MS compared to their counterparts. Women were more likely to have MS as per IDF and ATP-III criteria. CONCLUSIONS MS prevalence was high among Industrial workers who generally have good access to health care. Overweight and other predictors of MS need to be addressed to reduce MS prevalence in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is a serious health problem and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the status of these two diseases in the rural population of Kurdistan province, west of Iran. METHODS In this cross sectional study, 10,496 villagers of Kurdistan province during the period from March 2011 to February 2017 were selected through randomized systematic sampling. Required information was collected using pre-made check list and the examinations were performed. The data were analyzed with SPSS v22 software using chi-square test. RESULTS In the present study, the mean age of the population was 46.0 ± 14.13 y/o and 49.2% people were male and 50.8% were female. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 22.1% and for type 2 diabetes the prevalence was 19.6%. Hypertension was significantly higher in women (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the two sexes in terms of waist circumference, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. There was a significant difference between age groups with hypertension, waist circumference, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (p < 0.001) and a significant relationship between educational status with hypertention, waist circumference, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (p < 0.001). The results also showed that the relationships between age group and gender with BMI was significant (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The prevalence of diabetes in the rural population of Kordestan province is moderate but it has a high prevalence in metabolic syndrome. Educational and healthcare interventions seem to be necessary to reduce these prevalences, especially among women and in older ages.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that is responsible for the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of MetS and its components among T2DM patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Diabetes Clinic of the Hospital, from June to July, 2015. Data were entered into EPI INFO software and exported to SPSS 20 for analysis. MetS prevalence was estimated using NCEP ATPIII and IDF criteria. Anthropometric measurements, investigations of serum glucose and lipid profiles were done. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate associated factors. A P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result A total of 159 participants were included in the study; 119 (59.7%) were females with mean (±SD) age of (49.8±8.7) year. The prevalence of MetS was 66.7% in NCEP-ATP III and 53.5% in IDF definitions. The most prevalent component of MetS was elevated triglyceride (56.6% in ATPIII and 62.3% in IDF criteria), followed by abdominal obesity (61%) IDF and elevated blood pressure (55.4%) NCEP-ATPIII criteria. The regression analysis showed that increased age, being female, high BMI, having diabetes for over 5 years and poor glycemic control were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion The prevalence of MetS and its components among T2DM patients were high, suggesting that diabetic patients are at increased risk of CVD and other complications. Efforts should be geared towards addressing these abnormalities through lifestyle modification, health awareness and medications in order to reduce this complication.

Azhdari M, Karandish M, Mansoori A. Metabolic benefits of curcumin supplementation in patients with metabolic syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Phytother Res 2019; 33:1289-1301. [PMID: 30941814 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.6323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2018] [Revised: 01/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The finding of studies on the effect of curcumin extract on metabolic factor in patients with metabolic syndrome has had arguable results. This systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) aimed to analyze the effect of curcumin/turmeric on metabolic factors in patients with metabolic syndrome. The PICO strategy was used to establish the guiding question of this review. Several databases for RCT were searched until September 2018. Of the 144 articles initially identified, seven trials met the eligibility criteria. A random-effects model with a mean weight difference (WMD) and a 95% confidence interval was performed for quantitative data synthesis. Pooled estimates of WMD were calculated between intervention and control groups using random-effects model in the presence of high level of heterogeneity between the studies. The results showed significant improvement of fasting blood glucose (p = 0.01), triglycerides (p < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.003), and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.007) levels. Curcumin was not associated with a significant change in waist circumference measurement (p = 0.6) and systolic blood pressure level (p = 0.269). Curcumin supplementation improves some components of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2016, the World Health Organization reported that more than 2 billion adults were overweight, of whom 600 million were obese, 347 million had diabetes mellitus type II, and people with hypertension had increased from 600 million in 1980 to 1 billion in 2010. Additionally, 20% of the world's adult population will develop metabolic syndrome during their lifespan with tremendous effects for their wellbeing and the health systems. OBJECTIVE To identify social, biological, and behavioral factors associated with the metabolic syndrome in adults to help in the design of health policies in urban environments. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 300 cases and 675 controls. For cases, the waist circumference (abdominal obesity) in men was ≥94 cm and ≥88 cm in women, and other two factors should be present including hypertension, high glycated hemoglobin, high triglycerides, and low HDL levels. Controls presented only one or none of these risk factors. RESULTS The total prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 30.2%, 33.6% in females, and 25.6% in males. Therefore, females had a higher risk of developing a metabolic syndrome (OR=1.70; 95% CI 1.17-2.47). Being a mestizo also increased the risk of having metabolic syndrome (OR=1.55; 95% CI 1.10-2.19). In contrast, frequent fruit consumption and being a housekeeper were protective factors: OR=0.83; 95% CI 0.69-1.00, and OR=0.58; 95% CI 0.36-0.92, respectively. Logistic regression showed that obesity had the strongest association with metabolic syndrome (OR=7.52; 95% CI 4.79-11.80). Increasing age yielded a linear trend with regard to metabolic syndrome: the OR for the 40 to 49-year-old group was 4.24 (95% CI 2.20-8.16), for the 50 to 59-year-old group, 4.63 (95% CI 2.40-8.93), and for those over 80 years of age, 5.32 (95% CI 1.92-14.71). CONCLUSION Obesity was the main risk factor associated with the metabolic syndrome. Our findings can help health policy makers to design interventions for metabolic syndrome control in urban populations in Colombia.

Does low-dose aspirin use for cardiovascular disease prevention reduce colorectal cancer deaths? A comparison of two cohorts in the Florence district, Italy. Eur J Cancer Prev 2019; 27:134-139.

Abstract
Aspirin has been associated with reduced incidence and mortality of colorectal and a few other cancers. The aim of our paper was to study the effect of low-dose aspirin intake on cancer mortality in a population-based cohort study. The study included inhabitants of the Florence district (Italy) at the beginning of 2007. We considered two cohorts: patients who received prescriptions of low-dose aspirin for the whole year and patients who did not have any prescriptions over the same period. We followed the two cohorts until 31 December 2013. By linking with the Tuscany Mortality Registry, we analysed cause-specific mortality. We used a Cox semiparametric model to compare the mortality of the two cohorts. There was an 18% higher probability [hazard ratio (HR)=1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.23] for all causes of death among the cohort of aspirin users, almost completely caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) (HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.29-1.49). Colorectal cancer mortality was reduced by almost 30% (HR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.52-0.97). Death caused by major bleeding was 11% higher (HR=1.11, 95% CI: 0.86-1.44), but not statistically significant. Our results support the hypothesis that the use of low-dose aspirin for CVD prevention reduces colorectal cancer mortality. Given the growing ability to identify subgroups of individuals with an increased risk of developing cancer, further studies are needed to study the effectiveness of different cancer screening strategies tailored to these specific subgroups. Our study suggests the importance of focusing on this issue from the opposite perspective, that is, considering subgroups of individuals at decreased risk, such as the subgroup of individuals who take low-dose aspirin for CVD prevention. Thus, further assessments are needed to possibly identify subgroup-specific screening strategies that would be more effective than those developed for average-risk individuals.

Abstract
Background MetS is one of the emerging health problems of the world with prevalence higher among Asians, including Indians, and is rising especially in the rural area. Hence, the objectives were to estimate the prevalence of MetS and its association with life style risk factors among adult men. Methods Cross-Sectional based study conducted in the rural area of Kancheepuram District recruiting 360 participants at the age group of 20–40 years by PPS from 9 villages and from each village participants were selected by simple random sampling. Using modified NCEP-ATP III guidelines, criteria for MetS were defined and the prevalence and its associated lifestyle risk factors were evaluated. Results The prevalence of MetS was found to be 16.7%. Higher prevalence was observed among the older age group 31–40 years with 32.4%. Among the five components of MetS, most observed component was Hypertriglyceridemia followed by high WC, abnormal DBP with 31%, 14% and 7% respectively. In Logistic Regression analysis, variables like Increased age, alcohol intake, high WC, raised TG level, raised FBS level and high average DBP were strongly associated with MetS as it was statistically significant. Conclusion The present study showed a high prevalence of MetS amongst men 31–40 years and strong association between MetS and lifestyle risk factors could be a major health problem in rural area, indicating that it was not necessarily a result of modernization. These findings make it critical to plan further healthcare interventions to prevent the adverse consequences of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the people of Gwalior. Three criteria viz., National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria, International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and Harmonized criteria for MetS were employed to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this region, their concordance with respect to this population was recorded. METHODS The cross-sectional study involved the people, who had attended the Diabetes clinic at the Centre for Translational Research, Jiwaji University during 2015-2017. A total of 1190 participants within the age group of 20-79 years of either gender were included in the study. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, blood glucose and lipid profile of all subjects were assessed. Student's 't' test, Kappa statistics and Binary logistic regression model were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The percentage of prevalent MetS was found to be 72.7, 50.2 and 53.9 following Harmonized criteria, NCEP ATPIII and IDF criteria respectively. The prevalence was found to be maximum in centrally obese female population, aged between 51 and 60 years with the presence of hyperglycemia and reduced HDL- C. Harmonized and IDF criteria showed good agreement (κ 0.85). Regression analysis showed that, high body mass index, hypertension and dyslipedimia were the most critical predictive risk factors of MetS. CONCLUSIONS Maximum prevalence of MetS was recorded when the Harmonized criteria was followed. A good agreement was observed between Harmonized vs. IDF criteria. MetS if detected early especially in apparently healthy subjects; paves way for preventive measures to be designed in order to avert the incidence of diabetes and other risks related to cardio vascular disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Insulin resistance (IR) and abnormal lipid profiles are the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in obesity. To clarify the relationship of the changes in insulin resistance, body weight and lipid profile, the present study was performed on Bangladeshi adults, total of 1500 individuals at the time of their general health examination in the hospital. METHODS After exclusion of other endocrine diseases, the remaining 772 patients were classified as IR ≥ 2 and IR < 2 based on the homeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index. The endocrine disease free subjects were further clustered based on age, gender and obesity. The anthropometric and biochemical profiles were statistically analyzed and correlated with IR ≥ 2 and IR<2 groups as well as other clusters of the subjects. Apart from some disparities, notable differences were observed in all anthropometric data. RESULTS Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and serum insulin levels were significantly higher in IR ≥ 2 group in comparison with IR<2 group. Obesity and dyslipidemia were associated as prevalent components of IR. Generalized linear model revealed that TC: LDL and TG: HDL had significant effect on IR. Age group II (41-60 years old) subjects had significantly higher lipid profile compared to age group I (20-40 years old) and age group III (61-80 years old). CONCLUSIONS Results reported herein support the notion that lipoprotein ratios might be the reliable biomarkers to evaluate IR.

Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is escalating in South Asian countries. South Asians display higher total and abdominal obesity at a lower BMI when compared to Whites. Consequently, metabolic dysfunction leading to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will account for a majority of the health burden of these countries. In this review, we discuss those factors that contribute to MetS and T2DM in South Asians when compared to whites, focusing on adiposity. Abdominal obesity is the single-most important risk factor for MetS and its predisposition to T2DM. Excessive ectopic fat deposition in the liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) has been linked to insulin resistance in Asian Indians, while the effects of ectopic fat accumulation in pancreas and skeletal muscle need more investigation. South Asians also have lower skeletal muscle mass than Whites, and this may contribute to their higher risk T2DM. Lifestyle factors contributing to MetS and T2DM in South Asians include inadequate physical activity and high intakes of refined carbohydrates and saturated fats. These are reflective of the recent but rapid economic transition and urbanization of the South Asian region. There is need to further the research into genetic determinants of dysmetabolism as well as gene x environment interactions. Collectively, MetS and T2DM have multi-factorial antecedents in South Asians and efforts to combat it through low-cost and socio-culturally appropriate lifestyle interventions need to be supported.

Abstract
Background Presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, recognition of MetS in type 2 DM is important in initiating the appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures. The commonly used definitions have similarities and discrepancies. Aims of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MetS among patients with type 2DM using all three well known (WHO, IDF, and NCEP-ATP III) definitions and to identify the concordance and the difference of these three definitions. Methods This cross-sectional study included patients with type 2 DM who were followed up at the regional diabetes centre in Galle, Sri Lanka. A total of 2913 type 2 DM patients were recruited by convenient sampling method, and their clinical and biochemical data were collected. Results The mean age (SD) of the sample was 49.9 (10.2) years and the mean duration of diabetes was 5.04 (5.71). Prevalence of MetS was highest by WHO (70%) followed by IDF (44%) and NCEP-ATP III (29%) definitions. The prevalence was significantly higher in women according to all three definitions, and the difference was most marked with NCEP-ATP III and IDF definitions. Around 25% were identified as having MetS by all three definitions whereas around 45% were recognized with MetS by two definitions. While concordances between WHO with IDF (0.37, p < 0.001) and NCEP-ATP III (0.24, p < 0.001) criteria were poor, they were average (0.53, p < 0.001) between NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria. Conclusions The prevalence of MetS among patients with type 2 DM can significantly be varied based on the definition used and the three definitions of MetS recognized different set of individuals. The highest prevalence of MetS was observed with WHO (70.6%) whereas lowest was observed with NCEP-ATP III definition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with abnormal lipid profile and high cardiovascular risk. There is an increased prevalence of coronary artery disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in India. Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor 1(OLR1), a cell surface endocytosis receptor recognize, internalize and degrade oxidized LDL (oxLDL) in vascular endothelium and plays a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The aim was to explore the association of OLR1 gene polymorphism and measure the serum levels of ox-LDL in patients with MetS in Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty cases fulfilling the IDF diagnostic criteria for MetS and 40 healthy controls having similar age and sex ratio were genotyped for OLR1 gene (SNP: IVS4-73C>T , rs3736234) by RFLP-PCR. Serum ox-LDL was estimated by ELISA.Their BP, BMI and waist circumference were measured. Fasting Plasma glucose, Serum Triglyceride and HDL-C were measured. RESULTS Serum oxLDL was significantly higher in MetS cases as compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Odds ratio of T allele of above OLR1 SNP among subjects with MetS was 14.79 (95%CI: 1.80-121.2, p < 0.05). But no association was found between the SNP and serum ox-LDL levels. People having TT allele had higher BMI compared to those having CC allele. CONCLUSION Ox LDL, being more atherogenic might contribute in the pathogenesis of MetS. The intronic SNP: IVS4-73 C>T of OLR1 gene increases the risk of developing MetS by a yet unknown mechanism that is independent of rise in ox-LDL. This OLR1 SNP probably influences BMI.

Abstract
Aims This study was aimed to determine the levels of hs-CRP, serum ferritin, and Lp(a) and to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in young patients (≤45 years) with and without acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods This was a cross-sectional, case–control study conducted at a tertiary care center in India. Equal number of patients with matched age and sex (n = 51) were included in case group (with AMI) and in control group (without AMI). Subjects were assessed for the presence of MetS as per modified ATP III criteria. The hs-CRP, Lp(a), and serum ferritin were also measured. Results The prevalence of MetS was found to be 62.74% in case group, whereas 33.33% in control group with decreased HDL level as the most prevalent parameter. The hs-CRP level was found to be 15.35 ± 8.27 mg/dl in case group and 1.85 ± 1.05 mg/dl in control group and Lp(a) was 33.84 ± 23.69 mg/dl in case group and 19.68 ± 10.39 mg/dl in control group. No significant difference was observed in the serum ferritin level in case (264.2 ± 40.6 ng/dl) and control (225.51 ± 45.35 ng/dl) groups. Conclusion From this study, we can conclude that the assessment of these novel risk factors [hs-CRP, Lp(a), and MetS] may be used for the risk estimation and can help to prevent future mortality and morbidity due to CVD.

Abstract
Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex disorder and a major health concern in developing countries. Data on MetS in Indian population show multiplicity. There are no published reports about the prevalence of MetS in population of Saurashtra region, Gujarat. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of MetS and its components in adult population of this region. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out among 473 participants who attended free health checkup camps. Demographics, personal details along with anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical data were recorded. The MetS was diagnosed as per the definition provided by Joint Interim Statement 2009. Results: The overall prevalence of MetS among studied population was found to be 41.01% (females 44.21% and males 37.91%). Abdominal obesity (66.38%), low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (64.69%), and high blood pressure (40.59%) appeared as the most prevalent components. MetS showed a significant association with age, body mass index, total cholesterol, habit of chewing tobacco, and history of hypertension and hyperglycemia. Conclusion: The high prevalence of MetS shows that population of Saurashtra is at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. This highlights the need for extensive diabetes and CVD prevention and control program in this region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and associated metabolic complications lead to the development of a syndrome known as "metabolic syndrome" (MetS), which is considered as one of the major risk factor not only for the development of cardiovascular diseases but also have a great impact on the quality of life. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A descriptive, observational study involving the recruitment of patients with T2DM with and without MetS was carried out in outpatient department of endocrinology. The MetS was defined as per the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. Patients with T2DM were screened as per the American Diabetes Association (ADA; ie, fasting blood glucose [FBG] ≥ 126 mg/dL) and who were using oral antidiabetic drugs. Short Form-36 (SF-36) was used to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). RESULTS Patients were grouped as T2DM with MetS (n = 100) and T2DM without MetS (n = 100). A greater significant decline was observed in physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) in patients with T2DM with MetS as compared to patients without MetS (P ≤ .05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that in patients with T2DM having MetS, age and waist circumference (WC) are independent predictors for worsening of both PCS and MCS aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In addition, high triglycerides and raised FBG were found to be correlated with the decline in PCS and MCS, respectively. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that patients with T2DM with MetS have overall poor HRQOL as compared to patients with T2DM without MetS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been extensively studied as a co-morbidity in patients with schizophrenia. A disparity is noted between hospital and community based estimates in India. We aimed to examine the prevalence and predictors of MetS in schizophrenia patients and general population controls in a rural population in South India. METHODS Patients (n=157) and general population controls (n=263) were recruited from a rural area in South India. Diagnosis of MetS was established using International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Patients were also assessed on clinical parameters, treatment details, dietary and physical activity patterns. Predictors of MetS were estimated based on subgrouping of patients with and without MetS. RESULTS 50 (31.8%) of the patients and 76 (28.9%) of the controls were diagnosed to have MetS. Female gender and ongoing antipsychotic exposure were noted to be significant predictors of MetS with odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.87 (1.2-6.86) and 4.42 (1.37-14.25) respectively. Three empirically defined treatment groups 'never treated', 'ever treated' and 'continuous treatment' groups had odds ratios (95% CI) of 0.53 (1.68-6.58), 0.92 (0.5-1.69) and 3.33 (1.68-6.58) when compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS Patients who were naïve to antipsychotics had a significantly lower prevalence of MetS compared to general population. This finding doesn't support the antipsychotic independent risk for MetS in patients with schizophrenia. Female gender and regular antipsychotic exposure predicted MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disease burden related to mental disorders and metabolic syndrome is growing in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). The Colombo Twin and Singleton Study (COTASS) is a population-based sample of twins and singletons in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Here we present prevalence estimates for metabolic syndrome (metS) and mental disorders from a follow-up (COTASS-2) of the original study (COTASS-1), which was a mental health survey. METHODS In COTASS-2, participants completed structured interviews, anthropometric measures and provided fasting blood and urine samples. Depressive disorder, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and hazardous alcohol use were ascertained with structured psychiatric screens (Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7), PTSD Checklist - Civilian Version (PCL-C), and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)). We defined metS according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and the revised National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP ATP III) criteria. We estimated the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and metS and metS components, and associations with gender, education and age. RESULTS Two thousand nine hundred thirty-four twins and 1035 singletons were followed up from COTASS-1 (83.4 and 61.8% participation rate, respectively). Prevalence estimates for depressive disorder (CIDI), depressive symptoms (BDI ≥ 16), anxiety symptoms (GAD-7 ≥ 10) and PTSD (PCL-C DSM criteria) were 3.8, 5.9, 3.6, and 4.5% respectively for twins and 3.9, 9.8, 5.1 and 5.4% for singletons. 28.1 and 30.9% of male twins and singletons respectively reported hazardous alcohol use. Approximately one third met the metS criteria (IDF: 27.4% twins, 44.6% singletons; NCEP ATP III: 30.6% twins, 48.6% singletons). The most prevalent components were central obesity (59.2% twins, 71.2% singletons) and raised fasting blood glucose or diabetes (38.2% twins, 56.7% singletons). CONCLUSION MetS was highly prevalent in twins, and especially high in singletons, whereas the prevalence of mental disorders was low, but consistent with local estimates. The high levels of raised fasting plasma glucose and central obesity were particularly concerning, and warrant national diabetes prevention programmes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The increasing availability of antiretroviral drugs has made HIV-positive patients to live longer, and conditions that are associated with longevity such as metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular related conditions have become relevant in them. This is less well studied among African populations. Therefore the study aimed at estimating and comparing the prevalence of and associated risk factors for the metabolic syndrome (MS) among African HIV infected patients. METHOD In this comparative cross-sectional study, we analyzed the data of 300 participants matched for age and gender who satisfied the inclusion criteria with half of the subjects on HAART, while the other half was HAART naïve. The MS was diagnosed using ATP-III criteria. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 34.8±9.9years. The majority of the patients were females 64%. The prevalence of MS among HAART-exposed patients was found to be 19.3%, while it was 5.3% among HAART naïve patients (p=0.001). Raised triglyceride and elevated blood pressure were the criteria with the highest occurrence among HAART-exposed, 82.8% for each. Advanced age, longer duration of HIV diagnosis and HAART exposure, increased BMI, weight gain after HAART exposure, exposure to PIs and increased mean CD4 cell count were found to be significantly associated with MS (p<0.05). However, only age (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.6-11.8, p=0.005) and BMI (OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.5-11.9, p=0.007) were found to be independently associated with the development of MS. CONCLUSION Exposure to HAART particularly protease inhibitor based regimen increases the risk of MS among HIV-infected patients.

Abstract
Background & objectives: Surveillance of risk factors is important to plan suitable control measures for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The objective of this study was to assess the behavioural, physical and biochemical risk factors for NCDs in Vellore Corporation and Kaniyambadi, a rural block in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 6196 adults aged 30-64 yr, with 3799 participants from rural and 2397 from urban areas. The World Health Organization-STEPS method was used to record behavioural risk factors, anthropometry, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and lipid profile. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess associations between risk factors. Results: The proportion of tobacco users (current smoking or daily use of smokeless tobacco) was 23 per cent in the rural sample and 18 per cent in the urban, with rates of smoking being similar. Ever consumption of alcohol was 62 per cent among rural men and 42 per cent among urban men. Low physical activity was seen among 63 per cent of the urban and 43 per cent of the rural sample. Consumption of fruits and vegetables was equally poor in both. In the urban sample, 54 per cent were overweight, 29 per cent had hypertension and 24 per cent diabetes as compared to 31, 17 and 11 per cent, respectively, in the rural sample. Physical inactivity was associated with hypertension, body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2, central obesity and dyslipidaemia after adjusting for other factors. Increasing age, male sex, BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and central obesity were independently associated with both hypertension and diabetes. Interpretation & conclusions: Diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, physical inactivity and overweight were higher in the urban area as compared to the rural area which had higher rates of smokeless tobacco use and alcohol consumption. Smoking and inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables were equally prevalent in both the urban and rural samples. There is an urgent need to address behavioural risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables through primary prevention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its individual components within sex-, body mass index (BMI)- and age combined clusters. In addition, we used the age-adjusted blood pressure thresholds to demonstrate the effect on the prevalence of MetS and elevated blood pressure. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Cross-sectional data from 74,531 Western European participants, aged 18-79 years, were used from the Dutch Lifelines Cohort Study. MetS was defined according to the revised NCEP-ATPIII. Age-adjusted blood pressure thresholds were defined as recommended by the eight reports of the Joint National Committee (≥140/90 mmHg for those aged <60 years, and ≥150/90 mmHg for those aged ≥60 years). RESULTS 19.2% men and 12.1% women had MetS. MetS prevalence increased with BMI and age. Independent of BMI, abdominal obesity dominated MetS prevalence especially in women, while elevated blood pressure was already highly prevalent among young men. Applying age-adjusted blood pressure thresholds resulted in a 0.2-11.9% prevalence drop in MetS and 6.0-36.3% prevalence drop in elevated blood pressure, within the combined sex, BMI and age clusters. CONCLUSIONS We observed a gender disparity with age and BMI for the prevalence of MetS and, especially, abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure. The strict threshold level for elevated blood pressure in the revised NCEP-ATPIII, results in an overestimation of MetS prevalence.

Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing in African populations, and is particularly high in Black South African women (42%) vs women in the United Kingdom (23%) and the United States of America (36%). This population group is also known to have the highest prevalence of obesity in the sub-Saharan African region (42%), and consequently, a high risk of non-communicable diseases. In this article, we discuss factors (abdominal subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, lean mass, adiponectin, leptin, vitamin D, smoking and menopausal status) that have been investigated for their possible association with metabolic syndrome in African women, and discuss some recommendations for management of the syndrome. In particular, the infrastructural development of HIV/AIDS clinics in South Africa provides an ideal integrated platform to cater to the treatment needs of patients with multiple chronic morbidities.

Abstract
Mitochondria are complex, intercellular organelles present in the cells and are involved in multiple roles including ATP formation, free radicals generation and scavenging, calcium homeostasis, cellular differentiation, and cell death. Many studies depicted the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage in aging and pathogenesis of age-related metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Remarkable advancements have been made in understanding the structure, function, and physiology of mitochondria in metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke. Further, much progress has been done in the improvement of therapeutic strategies, including lifestyle interventions, pharmacological, and mitochondria-targeted therapeutic approaches. These strategies were mainly focused to reduce the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by oxidative stress and to retain the mitochondrial health in various diseases. In this chapter, we have highlighted the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of various disorders and recent progress in the development of mitochondria-targeted molecules as therapeutic measures for metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives: The aim is to assess the prevalence of MS in HIV patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and to compare it with treatment naïve HIV patients. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in a teaching hospital in North India. A total of 116 HIV positive patients who were on HAART and those who were treatment naïve were included in the study. Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) definitions were used to define MS. Clinical and laboratory investigations were performed as per requirement and then analyzed using SPSS software. Results: A high prevalence of MS was observed in HIV positive patients (ATP III – 19.8% and IDF – 25.9%). The prevalence of MS was higher in the anti-retroviral therapy (ART) group (ATP III – 33.3% and IDF – 36.4%) than ART-naïve group (ATP III – 2% and IDF – 12%). Conclusions: A sincere effort should always be made to detect MS in patients on HAART, especially in Indian subcontinent where there is a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. As an emerging population, South Asians (SAs) bear a disproportionately high burden of CVD relative to underlying classical risk factors, partly attributable to a greater prevalence of insulin resistance and diabetes and distinct genetic and epigenetic influences. While the phenotypic distinctions between SAs and other ethnicities in CVD risk are becoming increasingly clear, the biology of these conditions remains an area of active investigation, with emerging studies involving metabolism, genetic variation and epigenetic modifiers (e.g., extracellular RNA). In this review, we describe the current literature on prevalence, prognosis and CVD risk in SAs, and provide a landscape of translational research in this field toward ameliorating CVD risk in SAs.

[PMID: 27901076 PMCID: PMC5128865 DOI: 10.1038/srep38089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2016] [Accepted: 11/03/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) varies worldwide due to genetic and environmental factors. A population-based cross-sectional study, with 37,582 participants recruited in Nantong, China in 2007-2008 (stage I) and 2013 (stage II). Socio-demographic, lifestyle factors, disease history and fasting blood sample were collected. The prevalence of MS was much higher in 2013 (42.6%) than that in 2007-2008 (21.6%), which was significantly higher in older people in both stages. Participants with two or more familial history of diseases were associated with a higher MS prevalence compared to those who didn’t have familial history of diseases. Total physical activity (PA) was associated with 24 and 19% decreased risk of MS in men and women. Occupational PA in moderate and vigorous intensity was associated with a 25%-45% decreased risk of MS. Female smokers who smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day or over 25 years were associated with 96 and 74% increased MS risk, respectively. The highest quartile of rice wine consumption was associated with a lower risk of MS with OR of 0.63 in women, compared with female non-drinkers. These findings indicated that PA and rice wine are two protective factors in MS prevention in rural areas of East China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) is the state of chronic low grade inflammation. This study looks at the relationship of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in subjects with and without MS in Asian Indians. METHODS Study subjects (n=754) were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study. MS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) III criteria modified for waist according to World Health Organization Asia Pacific guidelines. A complete hemogram was done in all subjects using a five-part hematology analyzer (model SF-3000; Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). The NLR was calculated as the ratio between counts for neutrophils and total lymphocytes in subjects with (n=422) and without (n332) MS and correlated with number of metabolic abnormalities in those with MS. RESULTS Subjects with five metabolic abnormalities had the highest NLR, and with decreasing number of metabolic abnormalities, the NLR decreased linearly (p for trend <0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that even after adjusting for age, gender and body mass index, MS was strongly associated with NLR (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Among Asian Indians, NLR is correlated with MS and also with the number of metabolic abnormalities.

Dietary Vitamin C Intake Reduces the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Chinese Adults: HOMA-IR and T-AOC as Potential Mediators. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0163571. [PMID: 27685994 PMCID: PMC5042374 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2016] [Accepted: 09/11/2016] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite growing interest in the protective role that dietary antioxidant vitamins may have in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), little epidemiological evidence is available in non-Western populations especially about the possible mediators underlying in this role. The present study aimed to investigate the association of vitamin C and vitamin E intakes with T2D risk in Chinese adults and examine the potential mediators. 178 incident T2D cases among 3483 participants in the Harbin People Health Study (HPHS), and 522 newly diagnosed T2D among 7595 participants in the Harbin Cohort Study on Diet, Nutrition and Chronic Non-communicable Diseases (HDNNCDS) were studied. In the multivariable-adjusted logistics regression model, the relative risks (RRs) were 1.00, 0.75, and 0.76 (Ptrend = 0.003) across tertiles of vitamin C intake in the HDNNCDS, and this association was validated in the HPHS with RRs of 1.00, 0.47, and 0.46 (Ptrend = 0.002). The RRs were 1.00, 0.72, and 0.76 (Ptrend = 0.039) when T2D diagnosed by haemoglobin A1c in the HDNNCDS. The mediation analysis discovered that insulin resistance (indicated by homeostasis model assessment) and oxidative stress (indicated by plasma total antioxidative capacity) partly mediated this association. But no association was evident between vitamin E intake and T2D. In conclusion, our research adds further support to the role of vitamin C intake in reducing the development of T2D in the broader population studied. The results also suggested that this association was partly mediated by inhibiting or ameliorating oxidative stress and insulin resistance.

Metabolic Syndrome and Framingham Risk Score: Observation from Screening of Low-Income Semi-Urban African Women. MEDICINES 2016; 3:medicines3020015. [PMID: 28930125 PMCID: PMC5456224 DOI: 10.3390/medicines3020015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2016] [Revised: 05/25/2016] [Accepted: 06/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background: The heightened cardiovascular risk associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been documented by several researchers. The Framingham risk score (FRS) provides a simple and efficient method for identifying individuals at cardiovascular risk. The objective was to describe the prevalence of MetS and its association with FRS in predicting cardiovascular disease among a cohort of semi-urban women; Method: Clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated among 189 healthy women. The International Diabetes Federation definition was used to diagnose metabolic syndrome. FRS was calculated for each participant; Result: About two thirds of the participant make less than $US 90 per month. The mean systolic blood pressure was 131.80 ± 30. Eighty (42.3%) participants were overweight with a mean waist circumference of 91.64 ± 11.19 cm. MetS was present in 46 (24.3%). Individuals with MetS were more likely to have increased FRS, p = 0.012. One hundred and eighty seven (98.9%) were in the low risk category according to FRS. There was a significant difference in the mean FRS between participants with and without MetS (13.52 versus 10.29 p = 0.025); Conclusion: Prevalence of MetS in this study was comparable to the global rate, despite a low economic status. Individuals with MetS were more likely to have cardiovascular disease than persons without MetS, thus emphasizing the need for risk stratification and prompt management.
