Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index on metabolic syndrome in middle-aged Japanese adults under national health guidance: a cross-sectional study. BMC Public Health 2024; 24:2050. [PMID: 39080646 PMCID: PMC11290158 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-19544-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and high body mass index (BMI) increased the risk of developing metabolic Syndrome (MetS) mostly in Caucasians. However, the sex-specific combined association of CRF and BMI on MetS considering health-related behaviors has yet to be thoroughly examined in Japanese. This study aims to investigate the sex-specific independent and combined associations of CRF and BMI with MetS in middle-aged Japanese adults. METHODS 421 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. CRF was estimated using a submaximal cycle ergometer. CRF and BMI were respectively divided into three categories according to tertile distribution. MetS was diagnosed based on five risk factors: waist circumference, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate independent and combined association of CRF and BMI with MetS. RESULTS Results showed that 154 (57.5%) and 70 (45.8%) of men and women had MetS, respectively. Compared to men with lower CRF or higher BMI, men with middle and higher CRF or middle and lower BMI were less likely to have MetS. Compared with 'unfit and higher BMI' group, 'unfit and lower BMI', 'fit and higher BMI', and 'fit and lower BMI' groups in men showed statistically significant decreased prevalences of MetS. However, no significant associations were found in women. CONCLUSIONS This study found significant independent and combined associations of CRF and BMI with MetS only in men, but not in women. However, prospective studies are warranted to confirm sex-specific associations of CRF and BMI with MetS.

Prospective association of daily ambulatory activity with metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and older Japanese adults: the Toon Health Study. Int J Obes (Lond) 2024; 48:733-740. [PMID: 38307954 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-024-01483-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This cohort study aimed to examine the relationship between objectively measured daily ambulatory activity (AA) variables and the onset of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in middle-aged and older Japanese individuals. METHODS A total of 1,034 participants (women, 76.8%; mean age, 56.9 years) who were initially free from MetS, underwent objective assessment of daily AA using a uniaxial accelerometer at baseline. The number of steps, time accumulated in light-intensity AA (LIAA), moderate-to-vigorous intensity AA (MVAA), and total AA (LIAA + MVAA) were calculated. The diagnostic criteria outlined by the Japanese standards were employed to define the presence of MetS. To explore the association between AA variables and MetS onset, both multivariate logistic regression and a restricted cubic spline model were used while controlling for variables such as age, sex, education, alcohol habit, smoking habit, energy intake, and the number of MetS components present at baseline. RESULTS Over the course of the 5-year follow-up period, 116 participants (11.2%) developed MetS. In terms of the number of steps, LIAA, and total AA, the third quartile had significantly lower multivariate adjusted odds ratios for MetS onset than the first quartile. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 0.386 (0.197-0.755), 0.527 (0.285-0.975), and 0.392 (0.206-0.745), respectively. In the spline model, an L-shaped association with MetS was observed for the number of steps (p for nonlinearity = 0.066), LIAA (p for nonlinearity = 0.034), and total AA (p for nonlinearity = 0.040). CONCLUSIONS Among the variables related to AA, the index of daily amount AA, in particular, may be linked to the onset of MetS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent data on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited. METHODS This retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with T2D using a Japanese administrative claims database. Patients with a T2D diagnosis, prescription of a hypoglycemic agent, and one or more annual health checkups in 2020 were included. Trends in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome by sex and body mass index (BMI) subgroup were assessed. RESULTS The study cohort consisted of 155,653 patients (men, 81.6%; mean age 54.6 ± 8.5 years). Patients with metabolic syndrome had a higher mean BMI (29.1 ± 4.5 kg/m2 versus 25.2 ± 4.5 kg/m2) and mean waist circumference (98.3 ± 10.0 cm versus 87.9 ± 11.2 cm) compared to those without metabolic syndrome. Overall, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 43.0% in patients with T2D, with prevalence higher in men (46.6%) than women (27.0%). The prevalence increased across BMI subgroups from 17.3% in the < 25 kg/m2 subgroup, to 54.6% and 66.1% in the 25 to < 30 and ≥ 30 kg/m2 subgroups, respectively. A greater proportion of patients with metabolic syndrome had cardiovascular or renal comorbidities (BMI < 25, 0.3-2.0%; BMI 25 to < 30, 0.7-6.2%; BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, 0.7-6.8%) and cardiovascular drug usage (BMI < 25, 1.3-9.0%; BMI 25 to < 30, 3.8-31.1%; BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, 3.5-37.0%) in the higher BMI subgroups compared to the BMI < 25 kg/m2 subgroup. CONCLUSION The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Japanese patients with T2D was 43.0% and increased with higher BMI. In patients with T2D and metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular drug usage and comorbidities increased in patients with a higher BMI. These data highlight the importance of managing metabolic parameters in addition to glycemic control in Japanese patients with T2D, particularly in patients with metabolic syndrome and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is crucial to understand the seasonal variation of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) for the detection and management of MetS. Previous studies have demonstrated the seasonal variations in MetS prevalence and its markers, but their methods are not robust. To clarify the concrete seasonal variations in the MetS prevalence and its markers, we utilized a powerful method called Seasonal Trend Decomposition Procedure based on LOESS (STL) and a big dataset of health checkups. METHODS A total of 1,819,214 records of health checkups (759,839 records for men and 1,059,375 records for women) between April 2012 and December 2017 were included in this study. We examined the seasonal variations in the MetS prevalence and its markers using 5 years and 9 months health checkup data and STL analysis. MetS markers consisted of waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG). RESULTS We found that the MetS prevalence was high in winter and somewhat high in August. Among men, MetS prevalence was 2.64 ± 0.42 (mean ± SD) % higher in the highest month (January) than in the lowest month (June). Among women, MetS prevalence was 0.53 ± 0.24% higher in the highest month (January) than in the lowest month (June). Additionally, SBP, DBP, and HDL-C exhibited simple variations, being higher in winter and lower in summer, while WC, TG, and FPG displayed more complex variations. CONCLUSIONS This finding, complex seasonal variations of MetS prevalence, WC, TG, and FPG, could not be derived from previous studies using just the mean values in spring, summer, autumn and winter or the cosinor analysis. More attention should be paid to factors affecting seasonal variations of central obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Objective The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is diagnosed upon the manifestation of ≥ 3 out of 5 specific components. The present study evaluated the epidemiological characteristics of the MetS components and their clustering condition among Chinese adults. Methods 68383 participants aged 18-80 years from TIDE were scored on a six-point (0-5) MetS severity score (MSSS), which quantified their cumulative amount of MetS risk components. We evaluated the epidemiological characteristics of these components and their clustering conditions. Additionally, we examined the relation of age with the prevalence of different MSSSs or specific MetS components using restricted cubic splines. Results Among 68383 participants, 26113 men and 24582 women had abnormal MetS components. There were significant differences in most epidemiological characteristics between the 6 MSSS groups. The top three prevalence of abnormal metabolic components were high systolic blood pressure (SBP) (9.41%, n=6568), high waist circumference (WC) (8.13%, n=6120), and the cooccurrence of high SBP and high WC (6.33%, n=4622). Participants were more likely to have all five MetS components when HDL-C was low. Restricted cubic splines showed that when the MSSS ≥3, the MetS prevalence of male peaked and that of the female population increased most rapidly at 40-60 age group. Conclusion The 40-60 age group can be regarded as the high-risk period of MetS, and elderly women have a higher risk of multiple metabolic disorders than men. The top three clustering of abnormal metabolic components were high SBP, high WC, and their combination. Multiple components aggregation was more likely to occur when HDL-C decreased.

Abstract
PURPOSE Electromyostimulation (EMS) induces a short-term change in muscle metabolism, and EMS training induces long-term improvements of muscle atrophy and function. However, the effects of EMS training on intramuscular fat in older adults are still poorly known. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the intramuscular fat index and biochemical parameters change with EMS training of the quadriceps femoris muscles in older adults. METHODS Nineteen non-obese older men and women performed EMS training of the quadriceps femoris for 12 weeks (3 times/week; single session for 30 min). The intramuscular fat content index was estimated by echo intensity of the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris muscles on ultrasonography, and muscle thickness was also measured. Muscle strength was assessed as the maximal voluntary contraction during isometric knee extension. Echo intensity, muscle thickness, and muscle strength were measured before and after EMS training. A rested/fasting blood samples were collected before and after EMS training for measuring plasma glucose, insulin, free fatty acid, triglyceride, and interleukin-6 concentrations. To examine the acute effect of a single-EMS session on biochemical parameters, blood samples were taken before and after the EMS session. RESULTS EMS training did not significantly change echo intensity in muscles, muscle thickness, muscle strength, or biochemical parameters. Regarding the acute effect on blood lipid concentrations, a single-EMS session increased free fatty acid and glucose concentrations. CONCLUSION EMS sessions had an acute effect of increasing free fatty acid and glucose concentrations, but EMS training intervention did not improve intramuscular fat content.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the accumulation patterns of objectively measured ambulatory activity (AA) variables in the Japanese middle-aged and elderly individuals and examine the relationship of these derivative patterns with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS A total of 1850 participants (66.1% women, mean age: 57.7 years) provided objectively assessed AA data using a uniaxial accelerometer. The number of steps, time accumulated in light-intensity AA (LIAA) and moderate-to-vigorous intensity AA (MVAA), and the ratio of MVAA to total AA (LIAA + MVAA) were calculated. Latent profile analysis was used to identify groups of participants based on their distinct AA patterns. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association of groups with MetS after adjusting for age, sex, alcohol intake, and cigarette smoking. RESULTS Four distinct groups were identified: Group A had few steps and low levels of LIAA and MVAA; group B had a certain number of steps and recommended level of MVAA but low level of LIAA; group C had a certain number or more of steps, high level of LIAA, and recommended level of MVAA; group D had an extremely high number of steps and high levels of both LIAA and MVAA. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) for MetS in groups B, C, and D relative to group A were 0.857 (0.611-1.201), 0.679 (0.500-0.922), and 0.434 (0.259-0.730), respectively. Groups C and D had significantly lower odds ratio of MetS compared to group A. CONCLUSION AA pattern involving a certain number or greater of steps accumulated through not only MVAA but also LIAA may help reduce the risk of MetS compared to inactive AA pattern.

Abstract
Introduction Several studies have suggested that physical activity and sedentary behavior are strongly and independently associated with body composition and obesity. However, few studies have investigated whether substituting sedentary time with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is associated with body composition in older adults, especially among those older than 75 years. Methods This study examined the associations between replacing sedentary time with physical activity and obesity indices in a sample of 199 community-dwelling older Taiwanese adults (52.3% women; 80.6 ± 7.0 years). Physical activity and sedentary behavior were measured using the triaxial accelerometer (GT3X+, ActiGraph). Body composition indices were computed through a bioelectrical impedance analysis of body fat percentage and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index. Waist circumference and body mass index were measured by trained personnel. Isotemporal substitution analyses estimated these associations after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional status. Results The study showed that substituting 30 min of sedentary behavior per day with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower body fat percentage (B = -1.408, 95% CI = -2.55, -0.264), body mass index (B = -0.681, 95% CI = -1.300, -0.061), and waist circumference (B = -2.301, 95% CI = -4.062, -0.539) after adjusting for covariates. Substituting 30 min of light physical activity per day with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower waist circumference (B = -2.230, 95% CI = -4.173, -0.287) after adjusting for covariates. Stratified analyses indicated that associations were stronger in youngest-old older adults, and in older adults with a normal nutritional status (vs. underweight status). Discussion These findings confirm the importance of reducing sedentary behavior and increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among older adults to improve their physical health, as well as highlighting the importance of taking into account nutritional status and age group.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the concurrence of multiple metabolic disorders resulting in the increased risk of a variety of diseases related to disrupted metabolism homeostasis. The prevalence of MetS has reached a pandemic level worldwide. In recent years, extensive amount of data have been generated throughout the research targeted or related to the condition with techniques including high-throughput screening and artificial intelligence, and with these “big data”, the prevention of MetS could be pushed to an earlier stage with different data source, data mining tools and analytic tools at different levels. In this review we briefly summarize the recent advances in the study of “big data” applications in the three-level disease prevention for MetS, and illustrate how these technologies could contribute tobetter preventive strategies.

Abstract
This article highlights the association between physical activity (PA) and seasonal variations in metabolic and vascular function in adults. Increasing PA is an important method for preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality by improving blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid profiles, body fat, insulin resistance, and vascular function, such as endothelial function. Conversely, various factors, such as seasonal climate conditions, may affect the amount of PA that individuals undertake. Changes in PA often induce seasonal variations in metabolic and vascular function; the deterioration of such functions in winter is the most prominent, and there is clear evidence of an increased risk of CVD in this season. Understanding the influence of PA on seasonal variations observed in metabolic and vascular function is necessary for the management of these physiological functions. In this article summary, few studies have proven that maintaining PA can suppress the variations, and it remains unclear what types, intensities, and durations of regular PA are effective for circumventing seasonal impact. In addition to further studies, there is a need to educate individuals about the strategies to manage PA and other aspects of their lifestyles throughout the year, particularly in winter.
