The association of long-term trajectories of BMI, its variability, and metabolic syndrome: a 30-year prospective cohort study. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 69:102486. [PMID: 38370536 PMCID: PMC10874716 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Limited data exists on how early-life weight changes relate to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in midlife. This study examines the association between long-term trajectories of body mass index (BMI), its variability, and MetS risk in Chinese individuals. Methods In the Hanzhong Adolescent Hypertension study (March 10, 1987-June 3, 2017), 1824 participants with at least five BMI measurements from 1987 to 2017 were included. Using group-based trajectory modeling, different BMI trajectories were identified. BMI variability was assessed through standard deviation (SD), variability independent of the mean (VIM), and average real variability (ARV). Logistic regression analyzed the relationship between BMI trajectory, BMI variability, and MetS occurrence in midlife (URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02734472). Findings BMI trajectories were categorized as low-increasing (34.4%), moderate-increasing (51.8%), and high-increasing (13.8%). Compared to the low-increasing group, the odds ratios (ORs) [95% CIs] for MetS were significantly higher in moderate (4.27 [2.63-6.91]) and high-increasing groups (13.11 [6.30-27.31]) in fully adjusted models. Additionally, higher BMI variabilities were associated with increased MetS odds (ORs for SDBMI, VIMBMI, and ARVBMI: 2.30 [2.02-2.62], 1.22 [1.19-1.26], and 4.29 [3.38-5.45]). Furthermore, BMI trajectories from childhood to adolescence were predictive of midlife MetS, with ORs in moderate (1.49 [1.00-2.23]) and high-increasing groups (2.45 [1.22-4.91]). Lastly, elevated BMI variability in this period was also linked to higher MetS odds (ORs for SDBMI, VIMBMI, and ARVBMI: 1.24 [1.08-1.42], 1.00 [1.00-1.01], and 1.21 [1.05-1.38]). Interpretation Our study suggests that both early-life BMI trajectories and BMI variability could be predictive of incident MetS in midlife.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6814.

Abstract
Previous studies consistently report a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among firefighters. However, the clustering of CVD risk factors, defined as metabolic syndrome (MetSyn), has received little attention by comparison. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the pooled prevalence of MetSyn among firefighters. Using combinations of free text for 'firefighter' and 'metabolic syndrome', databases were searched for eligible studies. Meta-analyses calculated weighted pooled prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for MetSyn, its components and overweight/obesity. Univariate meta-regression was performed to explore sources of heterogeneity. Of 1440 articles screened, 25 studies were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of MetSyn in 31,309 firefighters was 22.3% (95% CI: 17.7-27.0%). The prevalences of MetSyn components were hypertension: 39.1%; abdominal obesity: 37.9%; hypertriglyceridemia: 30.2%; dyslipidemia: 30.1%; and hyperglycemia: 21.1%. Overweight and obesity prevalence rates in firefighters were 44.1% and 35.6%, respectively. Meta-regression revealed that decreased risk of bias (RoB) score and increased body mass index (BMI) were positively associated with an increase in MetSyn prevalence. Since one in five firefighters may meet the criteria for MetSyn, novel interventions should be explored to both prevent MetSyn and reduce the onset of CVD risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia measured as low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol is an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease, which is more pronounced in diabetes population. Less is known about the association of LDL-cholesterol level and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk in diabetes mellitus patients. This study investigated the association of LDL-cholesterol level and SCA risk in diabetes population. METHODS This study was based on Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Patients who received general examination from 2009 to 2012 and diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus were analyzed. Primary outcome was defined as SCA event identified with International Classification of Disease code. RESULTS A total of 2,602,577 patients were included, with total follow-up duration of 17,851,797 person * year. Mean follow-up duration was 6.86 years, and 26,341 SCA cases were identified. Overall incidence of SCA was highest in the lowest LDL-cholesterol group (< 70 mg/dL) and decreased in a linear manner as LDL-cholesterol rises, till 160 mg/dL. Adjustment of covariates resulted in U-shape association, with highest risk of SCA in the highest LDL-cholesterol group (≥ 160 mg/dL) followed by lowest LDL-cholesterol group (< 70 mg/dL). In subgroup analysis, U-shape association between SCA risk and LDL-cholesterol was more pronounced in male, non-obese people, and those who did not use statins. CONCLUSIONS In people with diabetes, the association between SCA and LDL-cholesterol level was U-shaped with highest and lowest LDL-cholesterol group having higher risk of SCA than others. Low LDL-cholesterol level can be a surrogate marker for increased risk of SCA in people with diabetes mellitus and this paradoxical association should be recognized and extended to clinical preventive measures.

THE KOREAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY & PHARMACOLOGY : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY AND THE KOREAN SOCIETY OF PHARMACOLOGY 2023; 27:49-59.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) involves multi-factorial conditions linked to an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Pre-metabolic syndrome (pre-MetS) possesses two MetS components but does not meet the MetS diagnostic criteria. Although cardiac autonomic derangements are evident in MetS, there is little information on their status in pre-MetS subjects. In this study, we sought to examine cardiac autonomic functions in pre-MetS and to determine which MetS component is more responsible for impaired cardiac autonomic functions. A total of 182 subjects were recruited and divided into healthy controls (n=89) and pre-MetS subjects (n=93) based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. We performed biochemical profiles on fasting blood samples to detect pre-MetS. Using standardized protocols, we evaluated anthropometric data, body composition, baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), heart rate variability (HRV), and autonomic function tests (AFTs). We further examined these parameters in pre-MetS subjects for each MetS component. Compared to healthy controls, we observed a significant cardiac autonomic dysfunction (CAD) through reduced BRS, lower overall HRV, and altered AFT parameters in pre-MetS subjects, accompanied by markedly varied anthropometric, clinical and biochemical parameters. Furthermore, all examined BRS, HRV, and AFT parameters exhibited an abnormal trend and significant correlation toward hyperglycemia. This study demonstrates CAD in pre-MetS subjects with reduced BRS, lower overall HRV, and altered AFT parameters. Hyperglycemia was considered an independent determinant of alterations in all the examined BRS, HRV, and AFT parameters. Thus, hyperglycemia may contribute to CAD in pre-MetS subjects before progressing to MetS.

The clinical value of metabolic syndrome and its components with respect to sudden cardiac death using different definitions: Two decades of follow-up from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:269. [PMID: 36463175 PMCID: PMC9719125 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01707-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the impact of different definitions of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and their components on the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among the Iranian population according to the World Health Organization (WHO), International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III), and Joint Interim Statement (JIS) criteria. METHODS The study population included a total of 5,079 participants (2,785 women) aged ≥ 40 years, free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. Participants were followed for incident SCD annually up to 20 March 2018. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of MetS and its components for incident SCD. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS ranged from 27.16% to 50.81%, depending on the criteria used. Over a median of 17.9 years of follow-up, 182 SCD events occurred. The WHO, IDF, and JIS definitions were strong predictors of SCD with multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CI) of 1.68 (1.20-2.35), 1.51 (1.12-2.03), and 1.47 (1.08-1.98), respectively; these associations significantly attenuated after further adjustment for MetS components. MetS by the ATP III definition was not associated with the risk of SCD after controlling for antihypertensive, glucose-lowering, and lipid-lowering medication use. Among the components of MetS, high blood pressure (WHO definition), high waist circumference (using the national cutoff of ≥ 95 cm), and high glucose component by the JIS/IDF definitions remained independent predictors of SCD with HRs of 1.79 (1.29-2.48), 1.46 (1.07-2.00), and 1.52 (1.12-2.05), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constellation of MetS, except for when defined with ATP III definition, is a marker for identifying individuals at higher risk for SCD; however, not independent of its components. Among MetS components, abdominal obesity using the population-specific cutoff point, high glucose component (JIS/IDF definitions), and high blood pressure (WHO definition) were independent predictors of SCD.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome is associated with a significantly increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, whether temporal changes in the metabolic syndrome status are associated with SCD is unknown. We aimed to determine whether metabolic syndrome and gamma-glutamyl transferase (ɣ-GTP), including their temporal changes, are associated with the risk of SCD. Methods: We performed a nationwide population-based analysis using the Korean National Health Insurance Service. People who underwent a national health check-up in 2009 and 2011 were enrolled. The influence of metabolic syndrome and ɣ-GTP on SCD risk was evaluated. Results: In 2009, 4,056,423 (848,498 with metabolic syndrome) people underwent health screenings, 2,706,788 of whom underwent follow-up health screenings in 2011. Metabolic syndrome was associated with a 50.7% increased SCD risk (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.507; p < 0.001). The SCD risk increased linearly as the metabolic syndrome diagnostic criteria increased. The ɣ-GTP significantly impacted the SCD risk; the highest quartile had a 51.9% increased risk versus the lowest quartile (aHR = 1.519; p < 0.001). A temporal change in the metabolic syndrome status and ɣ-GTP between 2009 and 2011 was significantly correlated with the SCD risk. Having metabolic syndrome in 2009 or 2011 indicated a lower SCD risk than having metabolic syndrome in 2009 and 2011 but a higher risk than having no metabolic syndrome. People with a ≥20-unit increase in ɣ-GTP between 2009 and 2011 had an 81.0% increased SCD risk versus those with a change ≤5 units (aHR = 1.810; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome and ɣ-GTP significantly correlated with an increased SCD risk. SCD was also influenced by temporal changes in the metabolic syndrome status and ɣ-GTP, suggesting that appropriate medical treatment and lifestyle modifications may reduce future SCD risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The metabolic syndrome involves both metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors and is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Epicardial fat tissue plays a crucial role in deleterious effects of metabolic syndrome on the heart, including myocardial fibrosis. The fragmented QRS reflects heterogeneous depolarization of the myocardium and occurs as a result of fibrosis. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether there is an association between fragmented QRS and epicardial fat tissue in patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS This study enrolled 140 metabolic syndrome patients, of whom 35 patients with fragmented QRS (+) and 105 patients with fragmented QRS (-). The two groups were compared with respect to clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic indexes. RESULTS Fragmented QRS (+) patients had higher waist circumference, red cell distribution width, creatinine, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left atrium diameter, septal a velocity, QRS duration, and epicardial fat tissue compared with fragmented QRS (-) patients. Waist circumference, red cell distribution width, QRS duration, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left atrium diameter, septal a velocity, and epicardial fat tissue were significantly associated with the presence of fragmented QRS. The QRS duration and epicardial fat tissue were independently associated with the presence of fragmented QRS on surface electrocardiographic in metabolic syndrome patients. CONCLUSIONS Epicardial fat tissue and QRS duration were independently associated with the presence of fragmented QRS. Basic echocardiographic and electrocardiographic parameters might be used for the risk stratification in metabolic syndrome patients.

Metabolic syndrome and the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2022; 32:666-674. [PMID: 35140026 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2022.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolic syndrome (MeS) is recognized as a significant predictor of poor outcomes in coronary artery disease. However, its prognostic implications in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) have not been examined. We aimed at investigating the role of MeS on the clinical outcomes in MINOCA patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients diagnosed with MINOCA between 2015 and 2019 were included. MeS was defined according to modified NCEP-ATPIII criteria. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between MeS and the hazard of MACE. The integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification index (NRI) were performed to assess MeS incremental predictive value. Of 281 MINOCA patients, 83 (29.5%) patients satisfied the MeS criteria. During a median follow-up duration of 28 months, MINOCA patients with MeS had a notably higher rate of MACE than those without MeS (30.1% vs. 17.6%, respectively P = 0.020). Cox regression analysis revealed that MeS was associated with an increased hazard of MACE (adjusted HR 2.126; 95% CI: 1.193-3.787, P = 0.010). When each component of MeS was analyzed as a categorized variable separately, only high fasting blood glucose and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 were associated with an increased hazard of MACE. Moreover, MeS had an incremental predictive ability for MACE when added to a model with clinical risk factors. CONCLUSION MeS is relatively common in patients with MINOCA. The presence of MeS significantly increased the hazard of MACE among the MINOCA population.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a frequent condition whose deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system are often underestimated. MetS is nowadays considered a real pandemic with an estimated prevalence of 25% in general population. Individuals with MetS are at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) as this condition accounts for 50% of all cardiac deaths in such a population. Of interest, recent studies demonstrated that individuals with MetS show 70% increased risk of SCD even without previous history of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, little is known about the interplay between the two conditions. MetS is a complex disease determined by genetic predisposition, unhealthy lifestyle and ageing with deleterious effects on different organs. MetS components trigger a systemic chronic low-grade pro-inflammatory state, associated with excess of sympathetic activity, cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmias and atherosclerosis. Thus, MetS has an important burden on the cardiovascular system as demonstrated by both preclinical and clinical evidence. The aim of this review is to summarize recent evidence concerning the association between MetS and SCD, showing possible common aetiological processes, and to indicate prospective for future studies and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify the association between low serum total cholesterol levels and the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS This case-control study was performed using datasets from the Cardiac Arrest Pursuit Trial with Unique Registration and Epidemiologic Surveillance (CAPTURES) project and the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Cases were defined as emergency medical service-treated adult patients who experienced OHCA with a presumed cardiac etiology from the CAPTURES project dataset. Four controls from the KNHANES dataset were matched to each case based on age, sex, and county. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of total cholesterol levels on OHCA. RESULTS A total of 607 matched case-control pairs were analyzed. We classified total cholesterol levels into six categories (<148, 148-166.9, 167-189.9, 190-215.9, 216-237.9, and ≥238 mg/dL) according to the distribution of total cholesterol levels in the KNHANES dataset. Subjects with a total cholesterol level of 167-189.9 mg/dL (25th-49th percentile of the KNHANES dataset) were used as the reference group. In both the adjusted models and sensitivity analysis, a total cholesterol level of <148 mg/dL was significantly associated with OHCA (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 6.53 [4.47-9.56]). CONCLUSION We identified an association between very-low total cholesterol levels and an increased risk of OHCA in a large, community-based population. Future prospective studies are needed to better understand how a low lipid profile is associated with OHCA.

Abstract
Although many studies have confirmed metabolic syndrome (MetS) is correlated with metal exposures, few studies have elucidated the associations of multiple metals with MetS risk. We aim to explore the relationship between serum 22 metals and MetS. We determined serum 22 metals using ICP-MS and used LASSO regression to select metals independently related with MetS to construct multiple-metals model. We further explored the dose-response relationship between positive metals and MetS by the restricted cubic spline regression. After screening by LASSO regression, serum 11 metals were selected to construct multiple-metals model in cross-sectional analysis, while 5 metals in longitudinal analysis. In the 11-metal model, only tin and zinc were associated with MetS in cross-sectional analysis (ORtin = 2.22, 95% CI:1.43, 3.45; ORzinc = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.42, 3.32; both Ptrend < 0.05). Besides, the same results were found in the 5-metal model in longitudinal analysis (HRtin = 1.66, 95% CI: 0.87, 3.17; HRzinc = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.07, 3.14; both Ptrend < 0.05). Moreover, there were positive linear relationships between serum tin and zinc concentrations and the increasing risk of MetS (both Poverall < 0.05, Pnon-linearity > 0.05). Furthermore, the interaction between high tin and high zinc was also associated with increasing MetS risk (Pinteraction < 0.05). We found that serum tin and zinc were independently and interactively associated with MetS in the southern Chinese men. Our results suggested that high tin and zinc may be the risk factors of MetS.

Abstract
Current evidence is inconsistent regarding the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on sex hormones and reproductive function, and this meta-analysis aimed to illuminate the association. A literature search was conducted in public databases to identify all relevant studies, and study-specific standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using a random-effects model. Finally, 21 studies were identified with a total of 2923 MetS cases and 14062 controls. In males, MetS cases had a lower level of testosterone, inhibin B, total sperm count, sperm concentration, sperm normal morphology, sperm total motility, sperm progressive motility and sperm vitality, and a higher level of DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial membrane potential. In females, MetS cases had a higher level of testosterone. No significant difference was detected for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, oestradiol, prolactin, anti-Müllerian hormone and semen volume in males, and for oestradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and progesterone in females. In conclusion, this meta-analysis indicated the impact of MetS on sex hormones and reproductive function, and MetS cases had a potential risk of infertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the association between periodontitis severity (exposure) and metabolic syndrome (MetS - outcome), using two criteria for diagnosis of the outcome, since this relationship remains unexplored. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study was conducted with 870 individuals: 408 with first MetS diagnosis (cases) and 462 without MetS (controls). Participants' general information was obtained using a questionnaire and laboratory data was collected from medical records. Periodontitis severity criteria followed the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: none, mild, moderate, and severe. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were determined by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Findings showed a positive association between moderate and severe periodontitis and MetS: ORadjusted = 1.64 (95% CI: 1.01 to 2.68) and ORadjusted = 1.94 (95% CI: 1.19 to 3.16), respectively, after adjustment for age, sex, schooling level, smoking habit, and cardiovascular disease. The adjusted measurements showed that among individuals with moderate or severe periodontitis, the probability of having MetS was around two times greater than among those without periodontitis, and that the chance was greater among participants with severe periodontitis than those with moderate periodontitis. CONCLUSION An association between the severity of periodontal status and MetS was found, suggesting a possible relationship between the two diseases. CLINICAL RELEVANCE MetS influences the etiology of cardiovascular diseases, one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. The findings suggest that the greater the severity of periodontitis, the greater is the association magnitude with MetS. The health professional needs to recognize that the importance of periodontal disease may play in MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both blood pressure and C-reactive protein (CRP) are each independently related to mortality risk. However, the combined effect of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and CRP on sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk has not been studied. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied the joint impact of SBP and CRP and the risk of SCD in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort study of 1953 men aged 42-61 years with no history of ischemic heart disease. Baseline investigations were conducted between March 1984 and December 1989. SBP and CRP were measured. SBP was divided based on median values to low and high (median cutoffs 132 mmHg) and CRP as low and high (median cut-off 1.30 mg/L). Hazard ratios (HRs) with confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated after multivariate adjustment. RESULTS Subjects were followed-up for 23.2 years, and 137 SCDs occurred. In this study, elevated SBP (>132 mmHg) combined with elevated (CRP >1.30 mg/L) were associated with SCD risk. Adjustment for age, examination year, alcohol consumption, BMI, energy expenditure during exercise, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, smoking, antihypertension medication and aspirin use, the risk of SCD remained statistically significant (HR, 2,73, 95% CI, 1.62-4.60, p < .001). Further adjustment for socio-economic status, years of education and history of cardiovascular disease in a family the results were only slightly changed (HR, 2.65, 95% CI, 1.57-4.49, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS In our male cohort study, the joint effect of high SBP together with increased CRP levels is a risk predictor of SCD compared with low SBP and CRP.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome represents one of the major health, social and economic issues nowadays, and affects more than 25% people worldwide. Being a multifactorial health problem, metabolic syndrome clusters various features, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension. Each of these disturbances represents a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. Moreover, patients with metabolic syndrome are more likely to suffer from depression, thus treatment with antidepressants (e.g. venlafaxine) is often neccessary. However, many of the antidepressants themselves may contribute to worsening or even development of the metabolic syndrome, thus creating a “vicious circle”. The aim of this work was to investigate on the animal model of metabolic syndrome, i.e. on hypertriacylglycerolemic rats fed high-fat-fructose diet (HFFD): 1) the effect of a change in diet from HFFD to a standard diet (SD) and the effect of venlafaxine treatment, 2) during HFFD, 3) as well as during a changed diet to SD. We focused on biometric parameters, blood pressure and selected ECG parameters. We observed the reversibility of the present metabolic and cardiovascular changes by switching the HFFD to SD in the last 3 weeks of the experiment. Switch to the standard diet led to decrease of body weight, even in the presence of venlafaxine. Administration of venlafaxine caused the decrease of heart weight/body weight index in rats fed with HFFD compared to the untreated group fed with HFFD for 8 weeks. Blood pressure, which was increased in the HFFD group showed a tendency to decrease to control values after switching to the standard diet . Administration of venlafaxine led to significant increase in all parameters of blood pressure when rats were fed with HFFD throughout the whole experiment. In untreated rats fed with HFFD for 8 weeks, we observed a shorter PQ interval and prolonged QRS complex as well as QTc interval compared to untreated rats with diet switched to SD. This effect was potentiated by venlafaxine administered not only during HFFD but even after switch to SD. Our results point to the fact that metabolic syndrome is clearly affecting the function of the cardiovascular system by modifying blood pressure and electrical activity of the heart. Moreover, administration of venlafaxine may lead to worsening of the observed changes, especially in the presence of high-fat-fructose diet.

Abstract
Previous studies were controversial in the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on semen quality and circulating sex hormones, and thus we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the association. A systematic search was conducted in public databases to identify all relevant studies, and study-specific standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using a random-effects model. Finally, 11 studies were identified with a total of 1,731 MetS cases and 11,740 controls. Compared with the controls, MetS cases had a statistically significant decrease of sperm total count (SMD: -0.96, 95% CI: -1.58 to -0.31), sperm concentration (SMD: -1.13, 95% CI: -1.85 to -0.41), sperm normal morphology (SMD: -0.61, 95% CI: -1.01 to -0.21), sperm progressive motility (SMD: -0.58, 95% CI: -1.00 to -0.17), sperm vitality (SMD: -0.83, 95% CI: -1.11 to -0.54), circulating follicle-stimulating hormone (SMD: -0.87, 95% CI: -1.53 to -0.21), testosterone (SMD: -5.61, 95% CI: -10.90 to -0.31), and inhibin B (SMD: -2.42, 95% CI: -4.52 to -0.32), and a statistically significant increase of sperm DNA fragmentation (SMD: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.45 to 1.06) and mitochondrial membrane potential (SMD: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.49 to 1.28). No significant difference was found in semen volume, sperm total motility, circulating luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, prolactin and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) (P > 0.05). In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated the effects of MetS on almost all the semen parameters and part of the circulating sex hormones, and MetS tended to be a risk factor for male infertility. Further larger-scale prospective designed studies were needed to confirm our findings.

Resuscitation 2019; 145:26-31. [PMID: 31626864 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2019.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipid profiles are known to be a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between lipid profiles and outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors remains unclear. We aimed to examine the association between lipid profiles and neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors. METHODS This retrospective observational study included adult (≥18 years) OHCA survivors between January 2016 and December 2018. We measured patients' lipid profiles after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride. The primary outcome was neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. Good neurologic outcome was defined cerebral performance categories 1 and 2. RESULTS A total of 182 patients were included. Of them, 57 (31.3%) were discharged with good neurologic outcomes. Median serum levels of total cholesterol (178.0 vs. 123.0 mg/dL), HDL (44.0 vs. 31.0 mg/dL), and LDL (104.0 vs. 75.0 mg/dL) were significantly higher in patients with good neurologic outcome. The area under the curves of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride were 0.742 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.672-0.803), 0.729 (95% CI, 0.658-0.792), 0.683 (95% CI, 0.610-0.750), and 0.572 (95% CI, 0.497-0.645), respectively. Total cholesterol (odds ratio [OR], 1.013; 95% CI, 1.000-1.025; p = 0.043) and HDL (OR, 1.071; 95% CI, 1.021-1.123; p = 0.005) levels were associated with good neurologic outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The levels of total cholesterol and HDL after ROSC were associated with good neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA, without considering the effect of other lipid profiles simultaneously.

[PMID: 30082082 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2018.04.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2018] [Revised: 04/13/2018] [Accepted: 04/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To the association between metabolically healthy overweight/obesity and the risk of sudden cardiac death in middle-aged men. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS This prospective study was based on a population sample of 2185 men aged 42 to 60 years from the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study. Participants were divided into 4 groups on the basis of body mass index and metabolic health status. Metabolically healthy overweight/obesity was defined as body mass index 25 kg/m2 or greater without metabolic abnormalities, and metabolically unhealthy normal weight was defined as body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 with 1 or more metabolic abnormalities. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 26 years (interquartile range, 18.7-28.1 years), 240 sudden cardiac deaths (11%) occurred. Compared with metabolically healthy normal weight men, metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese men had a higher risk of sudden cardiac death (hazard ratio, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.03-3.85) after adjusting for potential confounders. However, metabolically healthy overweight/obese men were not at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.40-2.24) as compared with their metabolically healthy normal weight counterparts after adjusting for age, smoking, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level, insulin level, history of myocardial infarction, and directly measured peak oxygen uptake. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that metabolically healthy normal weight men and metabolically healthy overweight/obese men were at comparable risk of sudden cardiac death over a 26-year follow-up period, suggesting that a baseline body mass index of 25 kg/m2 or greater per se does not adversely affect the risk of sudden cardiac death.

Abstract
Objective To determine the association between serum lipid measurements and the occurrence of out-of-hospital sudden unexpected death (OHSUD). Patients and Methods We compared 139 OHSUD cases (43 female patients [30.9%]) and 968 controls (539 female patients [55.7%]) from Wake County, North Carolina, from March 1, 2013, through February 28, 2015. Individuals were included if they were aged 18 to 64 years and had lipid measurements in the 5 years before their death (cases) or the most recent health care encounter (controls). Covariates were abstracted from medical records for all subjects, and those with triglyceride (TG) levels greater than 400 mg/dL (to convert to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259) were excluded for low-density lipoprotein (LDL)–related analyses. Results By linear regression using age- and sex-adjusted models, cases of OHSUD had lower adjusted mean total cholesterol (170.3±52.2 mg/dL vs 188.9±39.7 mg/dL; P<.001), LDL cholesterol (90.9±39.6 mg/dL vs 109.6±35.2 mg/dL; P<.001), and non–high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (121.6±49.8 mg/dL vs 134.3±39.6 mg/dL; P<.001) levels and a higher adjusted TG/HDL-C ratio (4.7±7 vs 3±2.7; P<.001) than did controls. By logistic regression using age- and sex-adjusted models, the odds of OHSUD were elevated per unit increase in TG/HDL-C ratio (1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.12). Conclusion Out-of-hospital sudden unexpected death cases had more favorable levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and non-HDL, possibly indicating a lack of association between traditional lipid cardiovascular risk factors and sudden unexpected death. A comparatively elevated TG/HDL-C ratio in cases may corroborate an evolving hypothesis of how vasoactive and prothrombotic remnant-like lipoprotein particles contribute to sudden unexpected death.

Patterns of clustering of the metabolic syndrome components and its association with coronary heart disease in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA): A latent class analysis. Int J Cardiol 2018; 271:13-18. [PMID: 29885819 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.05.080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2017] [Revised: 05/20/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Metabolic syndrome (MetS), refers to one of the most challenging public health issues across the world. The aim of this study was to explore the clusters of participants on the basis of MetS components and determine its effect on coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS This study used the information from Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). MESA was performed at 6 US sites and was a population-based cohort study of 6776 adults (3576 females; 3200 males), aged 45 to 84 years. The participants were free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline. Latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted to achieve the study's objectives. The outcome variable was CHD during the study period (2000-2012). RESULTS The prevalence of all Mets components (except triglyceride (TG) and fasting blood glucose (FBS)) is more common in females than in males. Three latent classes were recognized: (1) Non-MetS, (2) low risk, and (3) MetS. Notably, MetS latent class included 29.88% and 35.38% in females and males, respectively. After adjustment for covariates (e.g. demographic, biomarker etc.), MetS latent class showed a positive association with CHD events in both genders. CONCLUSIONS Results showed that clustering pattern of the MetS components, as well as the association between latent classes and risk of incident CHD events, are different in females and males. Notable percentages of individuals are in the MetS class, which emphasizes the necessity of implementing preventive interventions for this sub-group of the population.

Abstract
Background The severity of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is significantly associated with future coronary heart disease (CHD) among individuals without baseline Type 2 diabetes. However, the validity of assessing MetS severity among individuals with diabetes is unknown. Objective To assess for differences in MetS severity by timing of Type 2 diabetes diagnosis and to assess for associations between MetS severity and future CHD among individuals with diabetes. Methods We analyzed data from participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, including 1419 with- and 7241 without diabetes, followed during 4 visits and adjudicated CHD diagnoses over a 20-year period. We used Cox-regression techniques to assess hazard ratios (HR) of CHD based on a sex- and race/ethnicity-specific MetS-severity Z-score (standard MetS score) and a similar MetS-severity score formulated without incorporating glucose as a component of MetS (no-glucose MetS score). Results For both the standard- and no-glucose MetS-severity scores, scores were highest in the baseline-diabetes group, lowest in the never-diabetes group and intermediate in the incident-diabetes groups. Among participants with diabetes, increasing MetS-severity score at baseline was associated with incident CHD, using both the standard MetS score (HR 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21, 1.39) and the no-glucose score (HR 1.42, CI 1.24, 1.62) (both p < 0.001). For the baseline-diabetes group, this relationship remained significant when Visit 2 Hemoglobin-A1c was included in the model, both for the standard MetS score (HR 1.21, CI 1.09, 1.34; p < 0.001) and the no-glucose score (HR 1.25, CI 1.04, 1.51; p = 0.02). Conclusions MetS severity appears to provide an estimate of metabolic disarray in the setting of diabetes and is predictive of future CHD events beyond HbA1c. Identifying MetS severity among individuals with diabetes may help in identifying those at higher risk, who could then receive further preventative treatment.

Abstract
BackgroundTo investigate the relationship between blepharitis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) by using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) of Taiwan.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted using data collected from the LHID for the period from 2009 to 2013. This study enrolled patients who received a diagnosis of blepharitis according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, diagnostic code. The exclusion criteria were legal blindness, eyeball removal, ocular tumours prior to the diagnosis of blepharitis, and patients diagnosed with blepharitis and initiated antibiotic treatment concurrently. An age-matched, gender-matched and disease-matched population without blepharitis served as the control group. Multivariate analysis with a multiple Cox regression model was applied to analyse the data.ResultsIn this study, a total of 10 093 patients with blepharitis were included in the study group, and another 40 372 participants without blepharitis were included in the control group. Conditional logistic regression revealed a higher cumulative probability of hyperlipidaemia and coronary arterial disease. After adjustment, patients with blepharitis had a higher probability of developing new MetS than controls. According to subgroup analysis, hyperlipidaemia and coronary artery diseases were significantly correlated with the prior development of blepharitis. However, hypertension and diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance showed no correlation with blepharitis.ConclusionBlepharitis is significantly related to MetS and can serve as an early sign of MetS. Additional studies should examine the relationship between blepharitis and MetS in terms of severity.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome belongs to the most important risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in cardiovascular system induced by high cholesterol and high fat diet (HCHF) in HTG rats and their influence by a pyridoindole antioxidant - SMe1EC2 (S). The effects of S were compared with those of atorvastatin (A). Male HTG rats were fed HCHF (1% cholesterol + 7.5% lard) for 4 weeks. S and A were administered p.o., 50 mg/kg b.w. Following experimental groups were used: Wistar rats (W), hypertriglyceridemic rats (HTG), HTG rats fed HCHF (CHOL), HTG+S (S-HTG), CHOL+S (S-CHOL), and CHOL+A (A-CHOL). Values of blood pressure (BP) and selected ECG parameters were monitored in conscious animals, functions of the isolated heart and aorta were analyzed ex vivo. At the end of the experiment, systolic (sBP) and diastolic (dBP) blood pressure was increased in HTG and CHOL. S and A decreased BP in all treated groups. Accordingly with BP changes, the aortic endothelial function of CHOL was damaged. Both S and A administration ameliorated the endothelium-dependent relaxation to values of W. PQ and QTc intervals were prolonged in CHOL, while the treatment with S or A improved ECG findings. Prodysrhythmogenic threshold was decreased significantly in CHOL and both treatments returned it to the control values. In conclusion, HCHF increased BP, impaired endothelial relaxation of the aorta and potentiated susceptibility of myocardium to dysrhythmias. The effect of S on the changes induced by HCHF diet was more pronounced than that of A.

High-intensity interval training and cardiac autonomic control in individuals with metabolic syndrome: A randomised trial. Int J Cardiol 2017; 245:245-252. [PMID: 28747269 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.07.063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2017] [Revised: 06/24/2017] [Accepted: 07/18/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance has been postulated to play a central role in the co-appearance of various cardiovascular disease risk factors constituting the metabolic syndrome (MetS). There is evidence that altered cardiac autonomic function (CAF) may precede the onset of insulin resistance. Exercise training has been shown to improve CAF in different populations, yet little is known regarding the exercise dose response for CAF. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different volumes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on CAF in participants with MetS. METHODS Individuals with MetS (n=56) were randomised into the following 16-week training interventions: i) MICT (n=16, 30min at 60-70%HRpeak, 5×/week); ii) 4HIIT (n=19, 4×4min bouts at 85-95%HRpeak, interspersed with 3min of active recovery at 50-70%HRpeak, 3×/week); or iii) 1HIIT (n=21, 1×4min bout at 85-95%HRpeak, 3×/week). R-R interval recorded for 5min in a supine position at pre- and post-intervention was used to derive linear (SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50, LF, HF, LF/HF) and non-linear (SD1, SD2, Alpha1, Alpha2, SampEn) heart rate variability (HRV) indices as measures of CAF. Group×time interaction effects were examined (ANCOVA) and Eta squared (η2) interaction effect sizes calculated. RESULTS While there were no significant between-group differences in CAF indices, there were small-to-medium group×time interaction effects on SDNN [F(2,52)=0.70, p=0.50, η2=0.02], RMSSD [F(2,52)=1.35, p=0.27, η2=0.03], HF power [F(2,52)=1.27, p=0.29, η2=0.03], SD1 [F(2,52)=0.47, p=0.63, η2=0.01], and SD2 [F(2,52)=0.41, p=0.67, η2=0.01]. The following represent the relative percentage increases across these variables for 4HIIT, MICT, and 1HIIT respectively (SDNN, +30%, +17%, 9%; RMSSD, +30%, +22%, -2%; HF power, +69%, +18%, +7%; SD1, +30%, +22%,-2%; SD2, +22%, +14%, 4%). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant between-group differences for the effects of exercise dose on CAF indices, however; high-volume HIIT demonstrated the greatest magnitude of effect for improving CAF in individuals with MetS.

Abstract
Objective This study examined the association between sudden natural death and abdominal fat using postmortem computed tomography (CT) scans. Subjects and methods Postmortem CT images at the umbilical level of 241 subjects were used to measure abdominal areas of subcutaneous‐ and visceral fat, the rate of visceral fat and the waist circumference. Of the study subjects, 174 died of sudden natural death (130 men and 44 women), and 67 died of different causes (46 men and 21 women). All were between 40 and 75 years of age. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent abdominal parameters associated with sudden natural death. Results By univariate analysis, the areas of subcutaneous and visceral fat were significantly larger in sudden natural death than who died of different causes (subcutaneous fat, odds ratio [OR] = 1.004, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.000–1.007, p = 0.03; visceral fat, OR = 1.008, 95% CI = 1.003–1.013, p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that the area of visceral fat was an independent factor associated with the risk of sudden natural death (OR = 1.008, 95% CI = 1.002–1.015, p = 0.02). Conclusions Postmortem CT revealed that sudden natural death was related to abdominal fat deposits.

Contribution of sociodemographic and lifestyle-related factors to the differences in metabolic syndrome among Russian, Somali and Kurdish migrants compared with Finns. Int J Cardiol 2017; 232:63-69. [PMID: 28108130 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.01.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2016] [Revised: 12/04/2016] [Accepted: 01/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with a substantially increased risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. We examined the contribution of length of residence, socioeconomic position and lifestyle-related factors to the differences in the prevalence of MetS among migrants compared with Finns. METHODS Cross-sectional data from randomly sampled 30-64year-old health examination participants (318 Russian, 212 Somali, and 321 Kurdish origin migrants) of the Migrant Health and Wellbeing Survey (2010-2012) were used. Health 2011 Survey participants (n=786) were the reference group. RESULTS Compared with Finns, prevalence of MetS was significantly higher among all migrants except for Somali men. Among men, age-adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) of MetS compared with Finns was 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-2.46 for Russians, PR 0.95 (95% CI 0.54-1.67) for Somali, and PR 2.10 (95% CI 1.51-2.93) for Kurds. Among women, respective PRs were 1.45 (95% CI 1.08-1.97) for Russians, PR 2.34 (95% CI 1.75-3.14) for Somali and PR 2.22 (95% CI 1.67-2.97) for Kurds. Adjustment for sociodemographic and lifestyle-related factors attenuated the differences in MetS among women but not men. CONCLUSIONS Further studies should aim at identifying factors related to elevated risk for MetS among Russian and Kurdish men. Interventions aiming at improving lifestyle-related factors are needed for reducing inequalities in the prevalence of MetS among migrant women. Effectiveness of interventions focusing on reducing overweight and obesity among Somali and Kurdish women should be evaluated.
