Abstract
Smoking increases lipid levels, including triglycerides, leading to increased cardiovascular disease risk. We performed a meta-analysis to quantify the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on triglyceride levels. The PubMed and Scopus databases were searched to identify studies reporting either triglyceride levels in smokers and non-smokers or the effects of smoking cessation on triglyceride levels. Fixed- and random-effects models were used to perform the analyses when three or more studies/comparisons were available. We identified 169 and 21 studies evaluating the effects of smoking and smoking cessation, respectively, on triglyceride levels. Triglyceride levels were 0.50 mmol/L (95% confidence interval: 0.49-0.50 mmol/L) higher in smokers than non-smokers, but the effect differed widely across studies. No statistically significant effect was observed on triglyceride levels between baseline and 6 weeks (mean difference [MD] = 0.02 [-0.09, 0.12] mmol/L), 2 months (MD = 0.03 [-0.21, 0.27] mmol/L), 3 months (MD = 0.08 [-0.03, 0.21] mmol/L), or 1 year (MD = 0.04 [-0.06, 0.14] mmol/L) after quitting. However, a slightly significant decrease in triglyceride levels was observed at 1 month after cessation (MD = -0.15 [-0.15, -0.01] mmol/L). The results of this meta-analysis provide a basis for understanding the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on triglyceride levels, which could have important implications for public health.

Abstract
Several studies have assessed the relationship between alcohol intake and overweight/obesity; however, the reported results are inconsistent. Therefore, the present systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies was designed to investigate the association between alcohol intake and general and abdominal obesity among the adults. Literature search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline and Web of Science databases up to August 2020. Odds ratio (OR), risk ratio (RR), or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to pool effect size. To conduct dose-response meta-analysis, amount of alcohol intake was classified into three categories including light (<14 g/d), moderate (14-28 g/d), and heavy (>28 g/d). In the present study, 127 eligible studies were included. In cohort studies, there was no significant association between alcohol drinking and risk of overweight (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.46 to 1.89), obesity (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.52 to 1.37), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.58), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.90 to 1.41). In cross-sectional studies, alcohol intake was associated with the increased odds of overweight (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.18), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.37), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.29); but not obesity (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.95 to 1.12). Results of dose-response analysis indicated that heavy alcohol drinking was positively associated with odds of overweight (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.24), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.51), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.38) compared to non- or light alcohol drinking. There was no publication bias among studied on outcomes of interest. In conclusion, our results revealed alcohol drinkers, especially heavy alcohol drinkers, had increased odds of overweight, overweight/obesity, and abdominal obesity than non-alcohol drinker or light alcohol drinkers among cross-sectional studies but not cohort studies.

Abstract
Background: There is a high propensity toward combined alcohol consumption and smoking. The aim of the study is to determine whether the association of alcohol consumption and the metabolic syndrome (MS) were different in among groups stratified by smoking exposure. Methods: Subjects consisted of 4,672 adult participants in the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey grouped into three categories of smoking using urinary cotinine concentration. Drinking categories were as follows: lifetime abstainers, ex-drinkers, responsible drinkers (<20 g alcohol/day for women; <40 g/day for men), and hazardous drinking (≥ 20 g/day for women; ≥ 40 g/day for men). Results: Compared with nonsmokers, heavy smokers had a higher risk of the MS (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.00-1.62, p = .052). One standard deviation-higher urinary cotinine was also associated with higher risk of the MS (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03-1.23, p = .011). In nonsmokers and light/moderate smokers, alcohol had no effect on the MS. In heavy smokers, the risk of the MS was substantially higher in ex-drinkers (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 0.99-11.82), responsible drinkers (OR: 2.80; 95% CI: 0.96-8.12), and hazardous drinkers (OR: 3.30; 95% CI: 1.21-9.03, p = .02) compared to lifetime abstainers. A profound effect modification of alcohol by smoking was found in current drinkers. Conclusions: Smoking is closely associated with the MS. Alcohol has detrimental effect on the risk of MS in heavy smokers and the effect of alcohol is enhanced by smoking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the association of metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome score with the predicted forced vital capacity and predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s) values in Korean non-smoking adults. METHODS We analysed data obtained from 6684 adults during the 2013-2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. RESULTS After adjustment for related variables, metabolic syndrome ( p < 0.001) and metabolic syndrome score ( p < 0.001) were found to be inversely associated with the predicted forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s values. The odds ratios of restrictive pulmonary disease (the predicted forced vital capacity < 80.0% with forced expiratory volume in 1 s/FVC ⩾ 70.0%) by metabolic syndrome score with metabolic syndrome score 0 as a reference group showed no significance for metabolic syndrome score 1 [1.061 (95% confidence interval, 0.755-1.490)] and metabolic syndrome score 2 [1.247 (95% confidence interval, 0.890-1.747)], but showed significant for metabolic syndrome score 3 [1.433 (95% confidence interval, 1.010-2.033)] and metabolic syndrome score ⩾ 4 [1.760 (95% confidence interval, 1.216-2.550)]. In addition, the odds ratio of restrictive pulmonary disease of the metabolic syndrome [1.360 (95% confidence interval, 1.118-1.655)] was significantly higher than those of non-metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome score were inversely associated with the predicted forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s values in Korean non-smoking adults. In addition, metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome score were positively associated with the restrictive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
AIM The prevalence and associated risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among adults over 18 years old in Jaffna district. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was community-based cross-sectional descriptive study. Multistage stratified cluster sampling technique was employed. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain the relevant information. Waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP) measurements were recorded. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triacylglycerols were analyzed by the enzymatic colorimetric assay using semi-automated analyzer (Teco Diagnostics TC-3300). International Diabetic Federation guideline for Asians was used to identify MS. RESULTS Sample response rate was 95.3% and of them, 43.8% (n = 224) was male. The prevalence of central obesity (WC for male ≥90 cm, female ≥80 cm) was 23.9%. Raised FPG (≥100 mg/dL, or previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus), hypertriacylglycerolemia (≥150 mg/dl), low level of HDL cholesterol (<40 mg/dL in males, <50 mg/dL in females), and raised BP (systolic BP ≥130 or diastolic BP ≥85 mmHg or previously diagnosed hypertension) were found in 23.9%, 25%, 79.3%, and 36.6% of the participants. The prevalence of MS was 15.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.8-19.3) and it was 17.4% in males and 14.6% in females. Participants living in the urban area had a higher prevalence of MS when compared with participants in a rural area (P = 0.015). Older age (P < 0.001) was a risk factor for development of MS. Smoking (P = 0.005) was a risk factor for the development of MS. Participants having sedentary, moderately active, and highly active lifestyle had the prevalence of MS 20.6% (95% CI: 13.2-29.7), 14.7% (95% CI: 10.6-19.5), and 14.7% (95% CI: 9.3-21.6), respectively (P = 0.247). CONCLUSION Older age, urban living, and smoking carry a higher risk for development of MS among Jaffna Tamil community.

Abstract
Background Whether cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains controversial. This study investigated the associations of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption with MetS in a male population in China. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to collect data on cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, MetS status, and other related information from 8169 men aged 19–97 years. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between smoking and alcohol consumption and the risk of MetS. Results The prevalence of MetS was 15.2% in the study population. Proportions of current smokers and drinkers were 48.2% and 46.5%, respectively. Adjusted OR of MetS was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.01–1.79) among smokers who smoked ≥40 cigarettes/day compared with nonsmokers and 1.22 (95% CI 1.03–1.46) for those who consumed 0.1–99 grams of alcohol/day compared with nondrinkers. Adjusted OR was 2.32 (95% CI 1.45–3.73) among ex-drinkers who never smoked, 1.98 (95% CI 1.35–2.91) among ex-drinkers who were current smokers, and 1.34 (95% CI 1.08–1.68) among current drinkers who never smoked compared with those who neither smoked nor drank. There was a significant interaction between smoking and drinking alcohol on MetS (P for interaction is 0.001). Conclusions Our study indicated that smoking and drinking is associated with higher prevalence of MetS. Interactions between smoking and drinking on the risk of MetS in men in China may also exist. Our findings need to be confirmed in future case-control or cohort studies.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to examine the association between shift work and metabolic syndrome (MetS) as well as the potential confounders investigated. A systematic search was conducted with the aim of finding original articles on the association between shift work and MetS. The included articles were chosen based on established inclusion criteria; their methodological quality was assessed using a validated quality checklist. A total of 10 articles were included in this review. The majority of the studies were classified as having a low risk of bias. The definitions of MetS and shift work varied between studies. Among the ten studies, eight found a positive association between shift work and MetS after controlling for socio-demographic and behavioral factors. Only three studies included sleep duration as a confounder, and these studies presented discordant results. We conclude that there was insufficient evidence regarding the association between shift work and prevalent MetS when the confounders are taken into account.

Abstract
The literature shows an inconsistent relationship between lifestyle behaviors and metabolic syndrome (MetS), especially in the elderly. We designed this study to investigate the interrelationships among cigarette smoking, tea drinking and MetS, and to verify the factors associated with MetS in elderly males dwelling in rural community. In July 2010, with a whole community sampling method, 414 male subjects aged over 65 dwelling in Tianliao township were randomly sampled. The response rate was 60.8%. Each subject completed the structured questionnaires including sociodemographic characteristics, habitual behaviors (including cigarette smoking and tea drinking habits) and medical history. After an overnight fast, the laboratory and anthropometric data were obtained. MetS was confirmed according to the criteria defined by the modified NCEP ATP III for the male Chinese population. Subjects were split into either non-MetS or MetS groups for further analysis. Of the 361 subjects with complete data, 132 (36.6%) elderly men were classified as having MetS. Using binary logistic regression, body mass index, serum uric acid, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, HOMA index, current smokers (OR = 2.72, 95%CI: 1.03 ∼ 7.19), total smoking amount > = 30 (OR = 2.78, 95%CI: 1.31 ∼ 5.90) and more than 20 cigarettes daily (OR = 2.54, 95%CI: 1.24 ∼ 5.18) were positively associated with MetS. Current un- or partial fermented tea drinker (OR = 0.42, 95%CI: 0.22 ∼ 0.84), tea drinking habit for 1–9 years (OR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.15 ∼ 0.90) and more than 240cc daily (OR = 0.35, 95%CI: 0.17 ∼ 0.72) were negatively associated with MetS. In conclusion, this study suggests that smoking habit was positively associated with MetS, but tea drinking habit was negatively associated with MetS in elderly men dwelling in rural community.

Abstract
Tobacco is a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality globally. Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance (with and without glucose intolerance), pro-inflammatory state, and pro-thrombotic state. Tobacco use is associated with various core components of metabolic syndrome. It has been found to play a causal role in various pathways leading on to development this condition, the current article discusses various facets of this association.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to investigate whether individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) receive favorable quality of care processes in the primary care setting relative to other individuals with and without chronic diseases. BACKGROUND Data from the 2010 Brazos Valley Health Status Assessment (BVHSA) (n = 3964) were analyzed. Individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases that are collectively associated with a diagnosis of MetS, namely obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, were characterized as a group (ie, analytic sample, n = 168). Clinical guidelines were utilized to identify indicators representing the quality of care processes received by these individuals during visits with their health-care provider. METHOD Measures of quality of care processes were analyzed relative to a comparator group comprising individuals with no chronic diseases and an alternative test group comprising those diagnosed with other chronic diseases (eg, arthritis, depression, and cancer among others) using multinomial and binary logistic regression. FINDINGS Physician communication of critical issues such as diet, stress, and weight status was statistically more pronounced in the analytic sample relative to the comparator group. However, differences in physician communication about physical activity were not statistically significant relative to the comparator group (OR = 1.26, P = 0.533). Differences in testing of cholesterol (OR = 0.94, P = 0.743) and blood pressure (OR = 1.16, P = 0.619) were also not statistically significant relative to the comparator group. Individuals who may have MetS generally receive favorable quality of care processes from their health-care provider, but opportunities exist to enhance provider communication about physical activity, and to possibly improve frequency of cholesterol and blood pressure testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevention of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of the main targets of health promotion activities in the workplace. The present study aimed to clarify the incidence of MetS and associated lifestyle factors in a worksite male population. METHODS The study subjects consisted of 948 working men (mean age: 44 yr old) who did not meet the Japanese criteria for MetS during the annual health examination at a precision instrument development plant in Kanagawa, Japan, 2005. New-onset MetS was followed using the health examination data from 2006 to 2009. The incidence of MetS according to the combination of the presence of abdominal obesity and the number of other components of MetS (elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and elevated fasting glucose) at baseline were calculated. The incidence of MetS was also compared among the groups with regard to differences in lifestyles (dietary habits, smoking status, sleep duration, exercise habits, and alcohol intake). A Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify independent factors contributing to an increased risk of MetS. RESULTS New-onset MetS was observed in 76 subjects during a mean follow-up period of 3.7 yr. The incidence of MetS was 2.2/100 person-years and the 4-year incidence of MetS according to Kaplan-Meier analysis was 8.5%. The highest 4-year incidence of MetS was found in the group without abdominal obesity but with two or more components of MetS (37.9%) and the second highest incidence was found in the group with abdominal obesity and one other component of MetS (24.6%). The presence of abdominal obesity and each increase in the number of other components of MetS had an increased age-adjusted hazard ratio for an increased risk of MetS (5.23 and 4.79, respectively, both p<0.001). Similarly, sleep duration 5 h or less, current smoking, and ethanol intake 300 g/wk or more had an increased age-adjusted hazard ratio for an increased risk of MetS. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed a high incidence of MetS in not only the group with abdominal obesity, but also the group without abdominal obesity but with two or more components of MetS. Sleep deprivation, current smoking, and excess alcohol intake were found to be factors contributing to an increased risk of MetS among several lifestyle factors examined. The usefulness of health promotion activities that preferentially target subjects who have such medical conditions and/or lifestyles are therefore expected to reduce the incidence of MetS in the workplace, from a high-risk strategy viewpoint.

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to cure, so its prevention is very important. For this purpose, animal model studies are necessary to develop effective methods. Injection of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) into Syrian golden hamsters is known to induce pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, the histology of which is similar to human tumors. Moreover, K-ras activation by point mutations and p16 inactivation by aberrant methylation of 5' CpG islands or by homozygous deletions have been frequently observed in common in both the hamster and humans. Thus, this chemical carcinogenesis model has an advantage of histopathological and genetic similarity to human pancreatic cancer, and it is useful to study promotive and suppressive factors. Syrian golden hamsters are in a hyperlipidemic state even under normal dietary conditions, and a ligand of peroxizome proliferator-activated receptor gamma was found to improve the hyperlipidemia and suppress pancreatic carcinogenesis. Chronic inflammation is a known important risk factor, and selective inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 also have protective effects against pancreatic cancer development. Anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperlipidemic agents can thus be considered candidate chemopreventive agents deserving more attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome is an interaction of risk factors that may lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. METHODS Given the need for data in Puerto Rico, this cross-sectional study aimed to determine the association between demographic, lifestyles, and reproductive characteristics and the metabolic syndrome among a sample of women (N = 564) in the San Juan Metropolitan Area. The metabolic syndrome was defined based on the revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria. RESULTS In multivariate logistic regression models, women aged 40-59 and 60-79 years were 3.03 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.70, 5.40] and 7.05 (95% CI, 3.69, 13.49) times more likely, respectively, to have the metabolic syndrome as compared to those aged 21-39 years. A dose-response relationship was also observed between body mass index (BMI) and metabolic syndrome. Physical activity reduced the odds for metabolic syndrome [prevalence odds ratios (POR) = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.41, 1.01]; however, this association was marginally significant (P = 0.05). Among reproductive characteristics, only women who had a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) were 2.14 (95% CI, 1.02, 4.51) times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Consistent with previous studies, increased age and BMI, physical inactivity, and GDM are associated with the metabolic syndrome in this population. This information is relevant for the development of preventive interventions for the metabolic syndrome.
