Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have become urgent worldwide health problems, predisposing patients to unfavorable myocardial status and thyroid dysfunction. Low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) and time-restricted eating (TRE) have been confirmed to be effective methods for weight management and improving MetS, but their effects on the myocardium and thyroid are unclear. METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis in a randomized clinical diet-induced weight-loss trial. Participants (N = 169) diagnosed with MetS were randomized to the LCD group, the 8 h TRE group, or the combination of the LCD and TRE group for 3 months. Myocardial enzymes and thyroid function were tested before and after the intervention. Pearson's or Spearman's correlation was assessed between functions of the myocardium and thyroid and cardiometabolic parameters at baseline. RESULTS A total of 162 participants who began the trial were included in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, and 57 participants who adhered to their assigned protocol were involved in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. Relative to baseline, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase MB, hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, and free triiodothyronine (FT3) declined, and free thyroxine (FT4) increased after all 3 interventions (both analyses). Creatine kinase (CK) decreased only in the TRE (- 18 [44] U/L, P < 0.001) and combination (- 22 [64] U/L, P = 0.003) groups (PP analysis). Thyrotropin (- 0.24 [0.83] μIU/mL, P = 0.011) and T3 (- 0.10 ± 0.04 ng/mL, P = 0.011) decreased in the combination group (ITT analysis). T4 (0.82 ± 0.39 μg/dL, P = 0.046), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb, 2 [1] %, P = 0.021), and thyroid microsomal antibodies (TMAb, 2 [2] %, P < 0.001) increased, while the T3/T4 ratio (- 0.01 ± 0.01, P = 0.020) decreased only in the TRE group (PP analysis). However, no significant difference between groups was observed in either analysis. At baseline, CK was positively correlated with the visceral fat area. FT3 was positively associated with triglycerides and total cholesterol. FT4 was negatively related to insulin and C-peptide levels. TgAb and TMAb were negatively correlated with the waist-to-hip ratio. CONCLUSIONS TRE with or without LCD confers remarkable metabolic benefits on myocardial status and thyroid function in subjects with MetS. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04475822.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to quantify the severity of metabolic syndrome(MetS) and investigate its association with cardiovascular disease(CVD) risk on Chinese adults. Methods 13,500 participants from the Zhejiang Adult Chronic Disease Study were followed up between 2010 and 2021. A continuous MetS severity score derived from the five components of MetS was used to quantify MetS severity, and the association between MetS severity and the risk of incident CVD was assessed using Cox proportional hazard and restricted cubic spline regression. Results Both the presence and severity of MetS were strongly associated with CVD risk. MetS was related to an increased risk of CVD (hazard ratio(HR):1.700, 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.380-2.094). Compared with the hazard ratio for CVD in the lowest quartile of the MetS severity score, that in the second, third, and highest quartiles were 1.812 (1.329-2.470), 1.746 (1.265-2.410), and 2.817 (2.015-3.938), respectively. A linear and positive dose-response relationship was observed between the MetS severity and CVD risk (P for non-linearity = 0.437). Similar results were found in various sensitivity analyses. Conclusion The MetS severity score was significantly associated with CVD risk. Assessing MetS severity and further ensuring intervention measures according to the different severities of MetS may be more useful in preventing CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While postpartum weight changes may affect the levels of metabolic parameters, the direct effects of weight changes in the postpartum period on changes in the prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome and its components remain unstudied. This study aimed to investigate the effects of postpartum weight changes between 6 weeks and 6 months on changes in the prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome and its components in women who have recently experienced gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 171 postpartum women with recent gestational diabetes mellitus, who underwent serial weight and metabolic risk factor assessments at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. Weight changes between these time points were classified as weight loss (> 2 kg), weight stability (± 2 kg), or weight gain (> 2 kg). Metabolic syndrome comprised the following metabolic risk factors: large waist circumference, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose levels, high triglyceride levels, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. RESULTS Of the 171 women in our cohort, 30 women (17.5%) lost > 2 kg of body weight, while 85 (49.7%) maintained a stable weight and 56 (32.8%) gained > 2 kg. The weight loss group experienced significant changes in the prevalence rates of the following metabolic risk factors compared to the weight stability and weight gain groups: large waist circumference (% change: - 26.7 vs - 5.9 vs 5.4, respectively; p = 0.004), elevated fasting plasma glucose levels (% change: - 3.4 vs 18.9 vs 26.8, respectively; p = 0.022), and high triglyceride levels (% change: - 30.0 vs 0 vs - 7.2, respectively; p = 0.024). A significantly greater decrease in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was also found in the weight loss group than in the other two groups (% change: - 20.0 vs 11.8 vs 14.2, respectively; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Weight changes from 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum significantly altered the prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome and its components in women with recent gestational diabetes mellitus. Early postpartum weight loss can reverse metabolic risk factors and reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. TRIAL REGISTRATION Thai Clinical Trials Registry: Registration no. TCTR20200903001.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We followed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women with metabolic syndrome (MS) over a six-year treatment period and evaluated the influence of PCOS phenotypes on MS and on the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This was an observational study of 457 PCOS women, whose demographic, clinical, hormonal, and metabolic data underwent analysis. The PCOS women were divided into four groups per NIH recommendations. RESULTS After a follow-up of a mean of six years (1-20 years), 310 patients were selected to assess the development of T2DM and MS. The clinical and biochemical parameters, along with the Rotterdam phenotypes, were evaluated. Data were analyzed using Student's t- and the Pearson chi-square tests for data variation and group proportions, respectively. Additionally, multivariate analysis was applied to evaluate the effect of PCOS phenotypes on the risk for MS and T2DM. Patients of the four PCOS phenotypes did not differ in age, body mass index, total testosterone, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia, but phenotype A patients showed the highest risk for T2DM. A decrease in androgen levels was not followed by an improved metabolic profile; instead, there was a significant increase in the number of T2DM cases. CONCLUSION Phenotype A women are at the highest risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metals are harmful to human health in many ways. However, the association between metals and metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains unclear. Aims of this study is to discuss the relationship between urinary metal and MetS. METHODS This study included 3419 adult participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2018). Logistic regression analysis, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), weighted quantile sum (WQS), and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to explore the associations of nine urinary metal and MetS. RESULTS BKMR and WQS showed the effects of combined nine urinary metal were negatively correlated with MetS. Logistic regression analysis, WQS, and BKMR all suggested that cesium (Cs) and lead (Pb) were negatively correlated with MetS (all PFDCR <0.05). And RCS suggested log2-transformed Cs (χ2 = 20, P < 0.001) and log2-transformed Pb (χ2 = 19.9, P < 0.001) were negatively and linearly associated with MetS. CONCLUSION Existing evidence suggests that urine metal content is related to MetS. Cs and Pb are negatively related to MetS. It is still necessary to study and further discuss the causal relationship and mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic disorders are increasing worldwide and are characterized by various risk factors such as abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, impaired glucose metabolism, and dyslipidemia. Observational studies suggested a bidirectional association between cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders and its components. However, the causal associations between them remained unclear. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS A two-sample MR analysis based on publicly available genome-wide association studies were used to infer the causality. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms with potential pleiotropy were excluded by MR-PRESSO. The effect estimates were constructed using the random-effects inverse-variance-weighted method as the primary estimate. Furthermore, MR-Egger and weighted median were also performed to detect heterogeneity and pleiotropy. RESULTS Genetically predicted metabolic disorders increased the risk for coronary heart disease (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.55-2.03, p < 0.001), myocardial infarction (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.52-2.03, p < 0.001), heart failure (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.14-1.39, p < 0.001), hypertension (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02, p = 0.002), and stroke (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.32, p < 0.001). The concordance of the results of various complementary sensitivity MR methods reinforces the causal relationship further. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence of a causal relationship between metabolic disorders and increased risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke. Special attention should be paid to improving metabolic disorders to reduce the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065321.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of factors that increase the risk of developing diabetes, stroke, and heart failure. The pathophysiology of injury by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is highly complex and the inflammatory condition plays an important role by increasing matrix remodeling and cardiac apoptosis. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are cardiac hormones with numerous beneficial effects mainly mediated by a cell surface receptor named atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (ANPr). Although NPs are powerful clinical markers of cardiac failure, their role in I/R is still controversial. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α agonists exert cardiovascular therapeutic actions; however, their effect on the NPs’ signaling pathway has not been extensively studied. Our study provides important insight into the regulation of both ANP and ANPr in the hearts of MetS rats and their association with the inflammatory conditions caused by damage from I/R. Moreover, we show that pre-treatment with clofibrate was able to decrease the inflammatory response that, in turn, decreases myocardial fibrosis, the expression of metalloprotease 2 and apoptosis. Treatment with clofibrate is also associated with a decrease in ANP and ANPr expression.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:592-601. [PMID: 36646603 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2022.12.011] [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: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The association between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been well established in cross-sectional studies. It is less clear whether this translates into decreased clot lysis rates and very little information is available on non-European populations. Little is known regarding prospective associations and whether clot lysis progressively worsens in MetS individuals over time. We determined the prospective association of MetS with PAI-1 activity (PAI-1act) and clot lysis time (CLT) over a 10-year period. METHODS AND RESULTS As many as 2010 African men and women aged ≥30 years were stratified according to MetS status and number of MetS criteria (0-5). We also determined the contribution of the PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism to these associations and identified which MetS criteria had the strongest associations with PAI-1act and CLT. Both PAI-1act and CLT remained consistently elevated in individuals with MetS throughout the 10-year period. PAI-1act and CLT did not increase more over time in MetS individuals than in controls. The 4G/5G genotype did not influence the association of PAI-1act or clot lysis with MetS. Increased waist circumference, increased triglycerides and decreased HDL-C were the main predictors of PAI-1act and CLT. CONCLUSIONS Black South Africans with MetS had increased PAI-1act and longer CLTs than individuals without MetS. The inhibited clot lysis in MetS did, however, not deteriorate over time compared to controls. Of the MetS criteria, obesity and altered lipids were the main predictors of PAI-1act and CLT and are thus potential targets for prevention strategies to decrease thrombotic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Obesity associated with a change in the quantity and quality of fat depots. Using computed tomography (CT), we analyzed abdominal fat depots in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery according to their metabolic health status. METHODS AND RESULTS We recruited 79 individuals with metabolically unhealthy obesity before bariatric surgery and compared them with age-sex matched healthy controls. The volume and fat attenuation index (FAI) of fat depots were measured using CT scans that were conducted prior to and a year after bariatric surgery. 'Metabolically healthy' was defined as having no hypertension, normal fasting glucose and a waist-to-hip ratio of <1.05 for men and <0.95 for women. Individuals who achieved a metabolic health status conversion (MHC) (n = 29, 37%)-from unhealthy to healthy-were younger (p < 0.001) as compared to individuals without MHC. Pre-surgery BMI and reduction of BMI did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.099, p = 0.5730). Bariatric surgery reduced the volume and increased the FAI of fat depots. Baseline lower abdominal periaortic adipose tissue (AT) volume (p = 0.014) and great percent reduction in renal sinus AT volume after surgery (p = 0.019) were associated with MHC after surgery. Increased intraperitoneal AT FAI (p = 0.031) was also associated with MHC. CONCLUSION MHC was not associated with improvement in general obesity, based on indicators such as reduction of BMI after surgery. Weight reduction induced specific abdominal fat depot changes measured by CT are positively associated with MHC.

Circulating microRNAs Showed Specific Responses according to Metabolic Syndrome Components and Sex of Adults from a Population-Based Study. Metabolites 2022; 13:metabo13010002. [PMID: 36676927 PMCID: PMC9861536 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13010002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate several metabolic pathways and are potential biomarkers for early risk prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Our aim was to evaluate the levels of 21 miRNAs in plasma according to MetS components and sex in adults. We employed a cross-sectional study of 192 adults aged 20 to 59 years old from the 2015 Health Survey of São Paulo with Focus in Nutrition. Data showed reduced levels of miR-16 and miR-363 in women with MetS; however, men with one or more risk factors showed higher levels of miR-let-7c and miR-30a. Individuals with raised waist circumference showed higher levels of miR-let-7c, miR-122, miR-30a, miR-146a, miR-15a, miR-30d and miR-222. Individuals with raised blood pressure had higher miR-30a, miR-122 and miR-30a levels. Plasma levels of four miRNAs (miR-16, miR-363, miR-375 and miR-486) were lower in individuals with low HDL-cholesterol concentrations. In addition, plasma levels of five miRNAs (miR-122, miR-139, miR-let-7c, miR-126 and miR-30a) were increased in individuals with high fasting plasma glucose and/or insulin resistance. Our results suggest that the pattern of miRNA levels in plasma may be a useful early biomarker of cardiometabolic components of MetS and highlight the sex differences in the plasma levels of miRNAs in individuals with MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have explored correlations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) alterations and renal deterioration in longitudinal cohorts. We aim to investigate associations between MetS recovery/development and rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING This study is a secondary analysis of CHARLS. PARTICIPANTS After excluding individuals with age <45 years old, eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and clinician-reported malignant tumour, heart disease, stroke or kidney disease at baseline, 4142 participants with complete data were selected from the CHARLS during the 4-year follow-up period (2011-2015). OUTCOME MEASURES MetS were measured at 2011 and 2015 in CHARLS. A rapid eGFR decline was defined as an average annual eGFR decline of >3 mL/min/1.73 m2. The associations between rapid eGFR decline and MetS recovery/development were analysed using multivariable adjusted logistic models. RESULTS According to MetS baseline status and follow-up, participants were divided into four groups: (1) 2460 (59.4%) in the MetS-free group, (2) 361 (8.7%) in the MetS-developed group, (3) 499 (12.0%) in the MetS recovery group and (4) 822 (19.8%) in the MetS chronic group. When compared with the MetS chronic group, the multivariable adjusted OR of rapid eGFR decline in the MetS recovery group was 0.64 (OR: 0.64; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.90, p=0.01). In contrast, when compared with the MetS-free group, the multivariable adjusted OR of rapid eGFR decline in the MetS-developed group was 1.00 (OR: 1.00; 95% CI 0.73 to 1.38, p=0.98). CONCLUSIONS Over the 4-year follow-up period, we found that MetS recovery was associated with a reduced risk of rapid eGFR decline in middle-aged and older adults, while MetS occurrence was not related to rapid eGFR decline. Recovery from MetS appeared to protect against a rapid decline in eGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dualistic diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome overlooked the severity of metabolic syndrome, and the relationships between the severity of metabolic syndrome and adverse health conditions are poorly characterized. We therefore aimed to investigate the associations of metabolic syndrome severity with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)/all-cause mortality. METHODS A total of 116,772 participants from the Kailuan study were followed up biennially between 2006 and 2018. The severity of metabolic syndrome was evaluated using a continuous metabolic syndrome severity score (MetS score). Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association between MetS score and the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. Restricted cubic spline analyses were performed to explore the dose-response associations. RESULTS We found that the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality increased consistently with the MetS score. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the hazard ratios of CVD and all-cause mortality were 2.05 (95% CI 1.86-2.25) and 1.45 (95% CI 1.35-1.56), respectively, in those subjects>75th percentile compared with those <25th percentile. Additionally, a J-shaped dose-response relationship was found between MetS score and the risk of all-cause mortality (pnonlinearity <.001), while a linear relationship between MetS score and the risk of CVD was observed in this study (pnonlinearity = .737). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests significant dose-response relationships between MetS score and the risk of CVD/mortality. Subjects without metabolic syndrome but with a relatively high MetS score should raise their awareness and pay more attention to the possible increased risk of CVD events.

Abstract
Recently, medical research using big data has become very popular, and its value has become increasingly recognized. The Korean National Health Information Database (NHID) is representative of big data that combines information obtained from the National Health Insurance Service collected for claims and reimbursement of health care services and results obtained from general health examinations provided to all Korean adults. This database has several strengths and limitations. Given the large size, various laboratory data, and questionnaires obtained from medical check-ups, their longitudinal nature, and long-term accumulation of data since 2002, carefully designed studies may provide valuable information that is difficult to obtain from other forms of research. However, consideration of possible bias and careful interpretation when defining causal relationships is also important because the data were not collected for research purposes. After the NHID became publicly available, research and publications based on this database have increased explosively, especially in the field of diabetes and metabolism. This article reviews the history, structure, and characteristics of the Korean NHID. Recent trends in big data research using this database, commonly used operational diagnosis, and representative studies have been introduced. We expect further progress and expansion of big data research using the Korean NHID.

Abstract
Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has increased along with rapid socio-economic development in China in recent decades, aggravating the burden of the health care system. Both plasma levels of fatty acids (FAs) and aberrant DNA methylation profiles are associated with MetS risk. However, studies exploring the role of DNA methylation and FAs simultaneously in MetS etiology are sparse. Objective: We aimed to explore the association between the gene methylation levels of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2), H19, DNA methyltransferases 1 (DNMT1), DNA methyltransferases 3a (DNMT3a), and DNA methyltransferases 3b (DNMT3b) and MetS risk, and the etiological role of elongation of very-long-chain fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) related fatty acids. Method: Plasma levels of FAs were measured using a Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) after organic extraction, and gene methylation was quantified using a real-time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (Q-PCR) detecting system after bisulfite treatment. The C18/C16 ratio was used as the indicator of ELOVL6 activity. Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were estimated with logistic regression. Results: Methylation levels in IGF2 and DNMT3a were not significantly associated with MetS risk. However, when stratified by C18/C16 ratio (high vs. low), positive associations were observed between the risk of MetS and methylation levels (>median) of IGF2a3 (OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.3-7.5) and DNMT3a (OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.1-5.8) genes, in individuals with lower C18/C16 ratios, while no significant associations were observed in subjects with high C18/C16 ratios. Conclusion: Methylation levels in IGF2 and DNMT3a genes may affect the risk of MetS in an ELOVL6 activity-dependent way among Chinese adults. Further studies in other populations are needed to validate this finding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fecal immunochemistry test (FIT) has been proposed as a surrogate marker of intestinal inflammation. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is linked to underlying systemic inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS We investigated the association between occult blood in feces and the risk of psoriasis using data from the National Health Insurance System. This study was conducted involving 1,395,147 individuals who underwent health examinations from January 2009 to December 2012 and were followed up until the end of 2017. RESULTS The incidence of psoriasis (per 1,000 person-years) was 3.76 versus 4.14 (FIT-negative versus FIT-positive group) during a median follow-up of 6.68 years. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the hazard ratios for psoriasis were 1.03 for one positive FIT result, 1.12 for two positive FIT results, and 1.34 for three positive FIT results compared with negative FIT results. CONCLUSION The risk of psoriasis was significantly increased in patients with positive FIT results compared to the FIT-negative population.

Abstract
Background: There is controversy whether masked hypertension (MHT) requires additional intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether MHT accompanied with high-risk metabolic syndrome (MetS), as the subphenotype, will have a different prognosis from low-risk MetS. Methods: We applied latent class analysis to identify subphenotypes of MHT, using the clinical and biological information collected from High-risk Cardiovascular Factor Screening and Chronic Disease Management Programme. We modeled the data, examined the relationship between subphenotypes and clinical outcomes, and further explored the impact of antihypertensive medication. Results: We included a total of 140 patients with MHT for analysis. The latent class model showed that the two-class (high/low-risk MetS) model was most suitable for MHT classification. The high-risk MetS subphenotype was characterized by larger waist circumference, lower HDL-C, higher fasting blood glucose and triglycerides, and prevalence of diabetes. After four years of follow-up, participants in subphenotype 1 had a higher non-major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) survival probability than those in subphenotype 2 (P = 0.016). There was no interaction between different subphenotypes and the use of antihypertensive medications affecting the occurrence of MACE. Conclusions: We have identified two subphenotypes in MHT that have different metabolic characteristics and prognosis, which could give a clue to the importance of tracing the clinical correlation between MHT and metabolic risk factors. For patients with MHT and high-risk MetS, antihypertensive therapy may be insufficient.

Anthropometric indices and lipid parameters have been shown to be simple and useful tools in clinical practice for predicting MetS. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the differential magnitudes of anthropometric characteristics (waist circumference and body mass index [BMI]) and lipid parameters, namely, lipid accumulation product (LAP), cardiometabolic index (CMI), and Castelli Risk Index (CRI-I), to estimate MetS, usingappropriate cut-off values, among adults from a public hospital in Yucatan, Mexico. METHODS A cross-sectional study among 250 adults (77 men, 173 women) was carried out in the Regional High Speciality Hospital of the Yucatan Peninsula (HRAEPY) in Merida, Yucatan. MetS was diagnosed using standard criteria (central obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia), and derived parameters (LAP, CMI, and CRI-I) were calculated. Binary logistic regression analysis-based receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were used to predict MetS. RESULTS Of the 250 participants, 48% had MetS. High prevalences of overweight (35.2%) and obesity (48.8%) were found in the sample. The CMI and LAP were found to be the best parameters in the prediction of MetS in men and women. The optimal cut-off values of the parameters were higher in men and decreased with advancing age. CONCLUSION The CMI and LAP were shown to be the most effective indicators to diagnose MetS among adults from Yucatan, Mexico.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components are associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of time-burden of MetS on the risk of AF is unknown. We investigated the effect of the cumulative longitudinal burden of MetS on the development of AF. METHODS We included 2 885 189 individuals without AF who underwent four annual health examinations during 2009-2013 from the database of the Korean national health insurance service. Metabolic burdens were evaluated in the following three ways: (1) cumulative number of MetS diagnosed at each health examination (0-4 times); (2) cumulative number of each MetS component diagnosed at each health examination (0-4 times per MetS component); and (3) cumulative number of total MetS components diagnosed at each health examination (0 to a maximum of 20). The risk of AF according to the metabolic burden was estimated using Cox proportional-hazards models. RESULTS Of all individuals, 62.4%, 14.8%, 8.7%, 6.5%, and 7.6% met the MetS diagnostic criteria 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 times, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 5.3 years, the risk of AF showed a positive association with the cumulative number of MetS diagnosed over four health examinations: adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1, 2, 3, and 4 times compared to 0 times were 1.18 (1.13-1.24), 1.31 (1.25-1.39), 1.46 (1.38-1.55), and 1.72 (1.63-1.82), respectively; P for trend < 0.001. All five components of MetS, when diagnosed repeatedly, were independently associated with an increased risk of AF: adjusted HR (95% CI) from 1.22 (1.15-1.29) for impaired fasting glucose to 1.96 (1.87-2.07) for elevated blood pressure. As metabolic components were accumulated from 0 to 20 counts, the risk of AF also gradually increased up to 3.1-fold (adjusted HR 3.11, 95% CI 2.52-3.83 in those with 20 cumulative components of MetS), however, recovery from MetS was linked to a decreased risk of AF. CONCLUSIONS Given the positive correlations between the cumulative metabolic burdens and the risk of incident AF, maximal effort to detect and correct metabolic derangements even before MetS development might be important to prevent AF and related cardiovascular diseases.
