Longitudinal association of Apolipoprotein E polymorphism with lipid profile, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: Results from a 15 year follow-up study. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 185:109778. [PMID: 35167921 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.109778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To examine the association of different APOE alleles with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) as well as the influence of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on these associations. METHODS We analyzed data from 3917 participants aged 20-81 years of the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) from Northeast Germany with a median follow-up time of 10.8 years. Linear and logistic mixed models were performed to test the association of APOE alleles with T2DM and MetS. RESULTS We observed 393 T2DM and 1411 MetS events at baseline, and 576 T2DM and 1342 MetS events over the follow-up. The E4 carriers had a lower odds of developing T2DM (OR: 0.47 [0.24, 0.94]) than E3 homozygotes even after adjustment for potential confounders. The E2 carriers showed no associations. The inverse association between E4 alleles and T2DM moderately attenuated after adjustment for hs-CRP levels. The lower odds of developing T2DM in E4 carriers was more pronounced in participants without obesity, hypertension or MetS. However, both E2 and E4 carriers had higher odds of developing MetS (E2 OR: 1.45 [1.03, 2.03]; E4 OR: 1.56 [1.17, 2.09]) than E3 homozygotes. CONCLUSIONS While the presence of APOE E4 allele might increase the chance of MetS through its major action on lipids, E4 allele might offer a protection towards T2DM through its influence on inflammation.

Risk Classification for Metabolic Syndrome and the Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease in Japan With Low Prevalence of Obesity: A Pooled Analysis of 10 Prospective Cohort Studies. J Am Heart Assoc 2021; 10:e020760.

Abstract
Background It is uncertain whether risk classification under the nationwide program on screening and lifestyle modification for metabolic syndrome captures well high-risk individuals who could benefit from lifestyle interventions. We examined the validity of risk classification by linking the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods and Results Individual-level data of 29 288 Japanese individuals aged 40 to 74 years without a history of CVD from 10 prospective cohort studies were used. Metabolic syndrome was defined as the presence of high abdominal obesity and/or overweight plus risk factors such as high blood pressure, high triglyceride or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and high blood glucose levels. The risk categories for lifestyle intervention were information supply only, motivation-support intervention, and intensive support intervention. Sex- and age-specific hazard ratios and population attributable fractions of CVD, which were also further adjusted to consider non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, were estimated with reference to nonobese/overweight individuals, using Cox proportional hazard regression. Since the reference category included those with risk factors, we set a supernormal group (nonobese/overweight with no risk factor) as another reference. We documented 1023 incident CVD cases (565 men and 458 women). The adjusted CVD risk was 60% to 70% higher in men and women aged 40 to 64 years receiving an intensive support intervention, and 30% higher in women aged 65 to 74 years receiving a motivation-support intervention, compared with nonobese/overweight individuals. The population attributable fractions in men and women aged 40 to 64 years receiving an intensive support intervention were 17.7% and 6.6%, respectively, while that in women aged 65 to 74 years receiving a motivation-support intervention was 9.4%. Compared with the supernormal group, nonobese/overweight individuals with risk factors had similar hazard ratios and population attributable fractions as individuals with metabolic syndrome. Conclusions Similar CVD excess and attributable risks among individuals with metabolic syndrome components in the absence and presence of obesity/overweight imply the need for lifestyle modification in both high-risk groups.

J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:3307-3319. [PMID: 34290516 PMCID: PMC8289443 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s321241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The potential cardio-protective property of germinated brown rice (GBR) has been revealed by ameliorating risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases. This study hypothesized that the combination of GBR and cardioplegic solution could protect the cardiomyocytes exposed to simulated ischemic reperfusion injury in vitro study and preserve cardiac function during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in animal models. Methods Primary porcine cardiomyocytes were isolated and experimented cell viability against simulated ischemic reperfusion injury. In a cardiac surgical animal model, six pigs were randomly assigned to receive the two types of cardioplegic solution: i) St. Thomas cardioplegic solution (20 cc/kg); and ii) St. Thomas cardioplegic solution plus GBR (1 mg/kg). During open-heart surgery, the aorta was cross-clamped for 20 minutes, followed by reperfusion for 1 hour. Cardiopulmonary bypass parameters were recorded until the end of the procedure. Furthermore, hemodynamic parameters and arterial blood gas characteristics of animals among groups were monitored at different time points, including baseline before cardiopulmonary bypass (T1), during cardiopulmonary bypass (T2), during aortic clamp on (T3), and aortic clamp off (T4). Results Primarily, GBR cotreatment with cardioplegic solution essentially resulted in the improvement of cell viability in primary porcine cardiomyocytes against simulated ischemic reperfusion induction. The findings from cardiac surgery demonstrated that mean arterial pressure and heart rate are constantly stable in cardioplegic solution combined with the GBR group, while the trend of potassium and lactase concentration was decreased in the animals receiving GBR group. Consistently, all parameters from arterial blood gas showed better outcomes in animals receiving GBR; however, there were no statistically significant differences between groups, except hepatic enzymes. Conclusion Therefore, GBR might exert cardio-protective effects against ischemic reperfusion injury in the porcine cardiac surgery model due to anti-inflammatory response. These protective actions of GBR may explain the benefits gained from applying GBR products as a possible therapeutic supplement on cardiac diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessing the progression of a disorder from its pre-clinical state is important in the prevention of various diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the role of serum levels of αKlotho (αKl) in the progression of several pre-clinical disorders. METHODS This cohort study included 80 males who underwent their annual health checkup during the entry period between April 2005 and March 2008. Physical and biochemical parameters were obtained from all subjects. The associations of baseline serum levels of soluble αKl (sαKl) with the progression of the disorders were assessed in the study. RESULTS Baseline serum levels of sαKl were significantly lower in subjects developing a high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level than in subjects not developing a high FPG level. Logistic multivariable analysis showed that baseline serum levels of sαKl and FPG levels significantly associated with a high FPG level progression. It is suggested that low sαKl levels are associated with the progression of hyperglycemia. Evaluation of serum levels of sαKl in subjects with multiple disorders revealed that those with more pre-clinical disorders progression tended to show lower sαKl levels. CONCLUSION A decrease in serum levels of sαKl could be associated with the progression of pre-clinical disorders.

Abstract
The Japanese government launched a nationwide health screening and lifestyle intervention program in 2008 to prevent and reduce metabolic syndrome in at-risk individuals. This study examined the longitudinal effects of the program's lifestyle interventions on metabolic outcomes using health insurance data from one prefecture. The study population comprised 16,317 individuals aged 40-74 years who met the recommendation criteria for the interventions between 2009 and 2015. Participants were categorized into an overall intervention group (comprising a single-session motivational intervention group and a multi-session intensive intervention group) and a non-intervention group. We evaluated the interventions' effects on the initiation of medications for metabolic disorders (hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia) and metabolic syndrome incidence for 6 years using discrete hazard models that adjusted for sex, age, health screening measurements, and smoking habit. The longitudinal effects on health screening measurements were also evaluated using regression models for repeated measures. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) for initiation of medications were 0.83 (0.77-0.90), 0.77 (0.71-0.84), and 0.66 (0.57-0.77) for overall, motivational, and intensive interventions, respectively. The aHRs (95%CI) for metabolic syndrome incidence were 0.84 (0.75-0.94), 0.80 (0.71-0.91), and 0.67 (0.51-0.89) for overall, motivational, and intensive interventions, respectively. The interventions reduced body mass index and waist circumference, but had modest effects on blood lipids, blood glucose, and hemoglobin A1c levels; blood pressure was unaffected. These interventions represent an effective strategy to prevent the progression of preclinical metabolic syndrome, but further studies are needed to evaluate their long-term preventive effects on cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Abstract
Purpose: Patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) have an increased risk of target-organ damage (TOD), but whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is more prevalent and contributes to TOD in PA patients remains unresolved. We aimed to evaluate the associations between MetS profiles and TOD in Chinese PA individuals. Methods: Metabolic parameters and pre-clinical TOD including left ventricular hypertrophy, estimated glomerular filtration, and microalbuminuria; insulin sensitivity or resistance; and islet β-cell function were assessed by the homeostasis models (HOMA-IR, HOMA-β) and the other surrogate indexes [composite insulin sensitivity index (ISI), modified β-cell function index (MBCI)] determined from the oral glucose tolerance test were compared in PA vs. matched essential hypertension (EH) patients. Results: A total of 109 PA patients and 109 essential hypertension (EH) controls individually matched for sex, age, and office systolic blood pressure and duration of hypertension were studied. The prevalence of MetS and its individual components in PA was significantly lower than in EH [MetS: 28 (25.6%) vs. 54 (49.5%), P < 0.001]. PA patients had a higher composite ISI but a lower HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, and MBCI than EH controls (all P < 0.05). Concerning TOD, PA patients had significantly higher prevalence of microalbuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and lower levels of estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) than EH controls (all P < 0.05). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, female gender and elevated plasma aldosterone levels were significantly associated with TOD in PA. However, there were no significant associations between MetS and its individual components and TOD in PA patients. Conclusions: PA patients had a lower MetS prevalence but exhibited more severe TOD than matched EH controls. The study highlights the deleterious effects of aldosterone excess on the development of TOD, whereas MetS or its individual components might be less influential in PA.

Abstract
The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS) is an ongoing community-based epidemiological study of lifestyle-related disease involving dynamic prospective cohorts of approximately 12,000 adults from five communities of Japan: Ikawa, Ishizawa and Kita-Utetsu (Akita Prefecture), Minami-Takayasu (Osaka Prefecture), Noichi (Kochi Prefecture), and Kyowa (Ibaraki Prefecture). One of the most notable features of CIRCS is that it is not only an observational cohort study to identify risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke, coronary heart disease, and sudden cardiac death, but it also involves prevention programs for CVD. Using basic, clinical, epidemiological, and statistical techniques, CIRCS has clarified characteristics of CVD and the related risk factors to develop specific methodologies towards CVD prevention in Japanese middle-aged or older adults for more than half a century.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a devastating brain injury resulting in high mortality and substantial loss of function. Understanding the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke risk, mortality, and functional loss is critical to the development of new therapies. Age and sex have a complex and interactive effect on ischemic stroke risk and pathophysiology. Aging is the strongest nonmodifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke, and aged stroke patients have higher mortality and morbidity and poorer functional recovery than their young counterparts. Importantly, patient age modifies the influence of patient sex in ischemic stroke. Early in life, the burden of ischemic stroke is higher in men, but stroke becomes more common and debilitating for women in elderly populations. The profound effects of sex and age on clinical ischemic stroke are mirrored in the results of experimental in vivo and in vitro studies. Here, we review current knowledge on the influence of age and sex in the incidence, mortality, and functional outcome of ischemic stroke in clinical populations. We also discuss the experimental evidence for sex and age differences in stroke pathophysiology and how a better understanding of these biological variables can improve clinical care and enhance development of novel therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and MetS-related stroke is set to increase dramatically in coming decades. MetS is a complex disease that includes endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, ectopic obesity, and dyslipidaemia and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. One function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) is the cholesterol-efflux pathway, which is the pathway where cholesterol is removed from macrophages within the arterial walls back into the bloodstream and out to the liver. As one of the key functions of HDL, their hypothesis was that if they could measure HDL-C-efflux capacity, they would have a better handle on the role of HDL in atherosclerosis. However, there are no systematic analyses or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between HDL-C functionality and MetS. The aim of this study is to examine this association of HDL-C functionality with MetS in different ages and sex. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The update systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted using published studies that will be identified from electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and MetS-related stroke is set to increase dramatically in coming decades. MetS is a complex disease that includes endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, ectopic obesity, and dyslipidaemia, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, there are no systematic analyses, or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and (MetS). The aim of this study is to examine this association of EAT with MetS in different ages and sex. METHODS The update systematic review, and meta-analysis will be conducted using published studies that will be identified from electronic databases (ie, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies that firstly, examined the association between EAT and MetS, secondly, focus on cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies, thirdly, were conducted among in adults aged between 40 and 70 years, fourth, provided sufficient data for calculating ORs or relative risk with a 95% CI, fifth, were published as original articles written in English or other languages, and sixth, have been published until January year 2018 will be included. Study selection, data collection, quality assessment, and statistical syntheses will be conducted based on discussions among investigators. RESULTS Ethics approval was not required for this study because it was based on published studies. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. This study will provide a high quality synthesis on the association of EAT and MetS. CONCLUSION This systematic review will provide evidence to assess whether there is a strong association of EAT and MetS, and its components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is now widely recognized as a multifactorial disease with outcomes that arise from complex factors such as plaque components, blood flow, and inflammation. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot, abundant in proinflammatory cytokines, and has been correlated with the extent and severity of carotid artery disease (CD). The locations most frequently affected by carotid atherosclerosis are the proximal internal carotid artery (ie, the origin) and the common carotid artery bifurcation. Progression of atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation results in luminal narrowing, often accompanied by ulceration. However, there are no systematic analyses or well-conducted meta-analyses to evaluate the relationship between EAT and CD. The aim of this study is to examine this association of EAT with CD in different ages and sex. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted using published studies that will be identified from electronic databases (ie, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies that (1) examined the association between EAT and CD, (2) focus on cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies, (3) will conducted among in adults aged 40 to 70 years, (4) provided sufficient data for calculating ORs or relative risk with a 95% CI, (5) will published as original articles written in English or other languages, and (6) have been published until January 2018 will be included. Study selection, data collection, quality assessment and statistical syntheses will be conducted based on discussions among investigators. RESULTS We propose the current protocol to evaluate the evaluation of EAT with ED. CONCLUSION This systematic review will not need ethical approval, because it does not involve human beings. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was not required for this study because it was based on published studies. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER PROSPERO (CRD42018083458).

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with duration of metabolic syndrome (MetS) for the past 4 years before the CVD event.Methods and Results:We performed a nested case-control study within the Japan Epidemiology Collaboration on Occupational Health Study. A total of 139 registered cases of CVD and 561 self-reported cases of CVD were identified and matched individually on age, sex, and worksite with 695 and 2,803 controls, respectively. MetS was defined by the Joint Interim Statement definition. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for registered CVD was 4.7 (2.9, 7.5) for people with persistent MetS (positive for MetS for ≥3 assessments) and 1.9 (1.1, 3.3) for those with intermittent MetS (positive for MetS for 1-2 assessments), compared with people without MetS during the past 4 years before the event/index date (P for trend <0.001). The corresponding odds ratio for self-reported CVD was 2.7 (2.2, 3.5) and 1.8 (1.4, 2.3) (P for trend <0.001). The association with MetS duration was stronger for myocardial infarction than for other CVD subtypes. Similar results were obtained when using the Japanese MetS criteria. CONCLUSIONS The risk of CVD increases with increasing MetS duration. These findings contribute to risk stratification and encourage lifestyle modification for people with MetS to minimize their health risk.

Abstract
Objective In Japan, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and preliminary metabolic syndrome (preMetS) are more prevalent in men; however, it remains unclear whether the relationship between these metabolic disorders and lifestyle factors is similar between genders. Methods We examined waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood, and various lifestyle factors in 3,166 individuals aged from 30-79 years of age from the Japanese general population. MetS was diagnosed on the basis of central obesity - assessed by waist circumference - plus two or more of the following cardio-metabolic risks according to Japanese criteria: high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and lipid abnormality. Central obesity plus one of the risks was defined as preMetS. Results Men had a significantly higher prevalence of MetS (23.3% vs. 8.7%, p<0.001) and preMetS (21.2% vs. 10.2%, p<0.001) than women. An age-adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that heavy drinkers were associated with an increased probability of MetS (odds ratio, 1.91: 95% confidence interval, 1.29-2.83) and preMetS (1.69: 1.11-2.58); fast eaters were also related to preMetS (1.83: 1.33-2.55) and MetS (1.55: 1.12-2.15) in men. Lacking regular exercise was significantly associated with preMetS (1.38: 1.03-1.85), but not MetS. In women, preMetS was significantly associated with fast eaters and lacking regular exercise (1.44: 1.01-2.07 and 1.41: 1.02-1.96, respectively); a stepwise increase in each odds ratio (2.02: 1.40-2.91 and 1.47: 1.03-2.09, respectively) was also observed for MetS. Conclusion The relationships between lifestyle factors and MetS or preMetS differed between men and women, which suggests the need for gender-specific lifestyle modification to effectively prevent MetS.

Abstract
Background It has widely been proven that metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). MetS is confirmed based upon insulin resistance (IR). Our aim of this study is to evaluate the role of MetS and IR in the prediction of IHD incidence. Methods A total of 404 non‐diabetic participants who underwent 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT) were enrolled from 2001 to 2009. Risk factors for IHD were measured as well. The homeostatic index of IR (HOMA‐IR) and the homeostatic model assessment beta cell function (HOMA‐β) were calculated according to the homeostasis model assessment. Cox proportional‐hazard regression model was used to estimate hazard ratio (HR). All data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Results In our study, the average follow‐up period was 6.7 years. Eighteen subjects of IHD incidence were recorded. After adjusting for age and sex, subjects with IR or hyperinsulinemia had a high risk of IHD, the hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) for IHD were 4.58 (1.59‐13.15), 4.25 (1.64‐11.91), respectively. The highest hazard ratio was 7.56 (2.27‐25.18) which was found among the subjects with both IR and hyperinsulinemia. In addition, the hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) of subjects with MetS was 2.80(1.10‐7.09). Conclusions IR and hyperinsulinemia are related to the risk of IHD. IR combined with hyperinsulinemia may be superior to MetS for predicting the IHD incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in US. Amongst other factors such as age, sex, race, genetics, obesity, diabetes etc., hypertension continues to be the leading contributing factor towards stroke. Studies regarding stroke in Hispanics are sparse and inconclusive. OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study is to investigate the potential association between blood pressure elevation and risk of ischemic stroke among the Mexican Hispanic population. METHODS A retrospective data analysis was carried out for a planned case-control study with case-control ratios of 1:2. Mexican Hispanic cases were from the ElPasoStroke database with diagnosed hypertension that had sustained an ischemic stroke (n = 505) and Mexican Hispanics diagnosed with hypertension who were stroke-free as controls from the 2005-2010 NHANES databases (n = 1010). In this analysis, we included subjects who had data on systolic, diastolic or mean arterial blood pressures for cases (327) and controls (772). In cases, blood pressure was determined by the initial admission measurement, and in controls, the first measured blood pressure was used. The unadjusted and adjusted effects of continuous measurements of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure on stroke were determined using logistic regression analyses. Subjects were further classified into groups based on prehypertension and hypertension ranges, as established by the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC7). Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were also used to determine the effect of categorized blood pressures. RESULTS Our data indicate that per unit increase in systolic, diastolic or mean arterial blood pressure elevates the odds of stroke among the Mexican Hispanic population. Adjusted analysis of categorized blood pressures showed that mild or moderate/severe high blood pressure significantly associated with odds of stroke. Maintaining and controlling blood pressure at more stringent and lower levels, specifically lowering mean arterial pressure may effectively reduce the odds of ischemic stroke among the Mexican Hispanic population. CONCLUSION Elevation of blood pressure increases the odds of stroke among the Mexican Hispanic population. Our results provide new strategies to manage the stroke prevention and health disparity issues among the Mexican Hispanic population.

Abstract
AIM After the Great East Japan Earthquake, over 160,000 residents near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were forced to evacuate due to a nuclear accident. Health problems in these evacuees have since become major issues. We examined the association between evacuation and incidence of metabolic syndrome (METS) among residents in Fukushima. METHODS We conducted a cohort study among residents aged 40-74 years without METS at the time of the disaster in Fukushima. Among 20,269 residents who met the inclusion criteria before the disaster, 8,547 residents (3,697 men and 4,850 women; follow-up proportion: 42.2%) remained available for follow-up examinations after the disaster by the end of March 2013. The main outcome was incidence of METS, defined by guidelines from the Japanese committee, using data from the Comprehensive Health Check before and after the disaster. We divided participants by evacuation status and compared outcomes between groups. Using a logistic regression model, we estimated the odds ratio for incidence of METS, adjusting for potential confounders, age, gender, waist circumference, exercise habit, and alcohol consumption. RESULTS Incidence of METS was higher in evacuees (men 19.2%, women 6.6%) than in non-evacuees (men 11.0%, women 4.6%). Evacuees had higher body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, and fasting plasma glucose after the disaster than non-evacuees. We found a significant association between evacuation and incidence of METS (adjusted odds ratio 1.72, 95% confidence interval; 1.46-2.02). CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that evacuation after a disaster is associated with increased incidence of METS.

Abstract
Two major definitions of metabolic syndrome have been proposed. One focuses on the accumulation of risk factors, a measure used by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI); the other focuses on abdominal obesity, a measure used by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the Japanese government. The latter definition takes waist circumference (WC) into consideration as an obligatory component, whereas the former does not. In 2009, the IDF, NHLBI, AHA, and other organizations attempted to unify these criteria; as a result, WC is no longer an obligatory component of those systems, while it remains obligatory in the Japanese criteria. In 2008, a new Japanese cardiovascular screening and education system focused on metabolic syndrome was launched. People undergoing screening are classified into three groups according to the presence of abdominal obesity and the number of metabolic risk factors, and receive health educational support from insurers. This system has yielded several beneficial outcomes: the visibility of metabolic syndrome at the population level has drastically improved; preventive measures have been directed toward metabolic syndrome, which is expected to become more prevalent in future generations; and a post-screening education system has been established. However, several problems with the current system have been identified and are under debate. In this review, we discuss topics related to metabolic syndrome, including (1) the Japanese criteria for metabolic syndrome; (2) metabolic syndrome and the universal health screening and education system; and (3) recent debates about Japanese criteria for metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Aim: A positive association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontal status has recently been noted. However, no study has evaluated the relationship by sex and in a general urban population using the uniform definition proposed in the 2009 Joint Interim Statement. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between MetS and periodontal status using the uniform definition in a general urban Japanese population. Methods: A total of 1,856 Japanese men and women (mean age: 66.4 years) were studied using data from the Suita study. Periodontal status was evaluated by the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). MetS was defined using the 2009 Joint Interim Statement. The associations of the MetS and its components with periodontal disease were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, drinking, and smoking. Results: Among the components of the MetS, low HDL cholesterol level was significantly associated with periodontal disease in men and women [odds ratios (OR) = 2.39 and 1.53; 95% confidence intervals = 1.36–4.19 and 1.06–2.19]. Furthermore, the risk of periodontal disease showed 1.43-, 1.42-, and 1.89-fold increases in those with 2, 3, and ≥ 4 components, respectively, compared with those having no components (Ptrend < 0.001). For the analysis by sex, the risk of periodontal disease was increased 2.27- and 1.76-fold in those with ≥ 4 components in men and women, respectively (both Ptrend = 0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that MetS and lower HDL cholesterol are associated with periodontal disease. Subjects with two or more MetS components had a significantly higher prevalence of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Background: The effects of the risk factors of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke on the occurrence of these diseases differ between different populations. Objectives: To study the difference in the effects of different cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors on the incidence of IHD and stroke in an Iranian adult population. Patients and Methods: The Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS) is a longitudinal study that followed up 6323 subjects older than 35 years with no history of CVD since 2001. Of the original sample, only 5431 participants were contacted and followed up until 2011. The end points were the occurrence of IHD (defined as fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and sudden cardiac death) and stroke. After 10 years of follow-up, 564 new cases of IHD and 141 new cases of stroke were detected. The relative risks (RRs) of cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, current smoking, obesity, high waist-to-hip ratio, family history of CVD, and metabolic syndrome were compared between IHD and stroke patients. The ratio of relative risks (RRR) was calculated for comparing two RRs and estimated adjusted RRR was calculated by using generalized linear regression with a log link and binomial distribution. Results: The RRs of the occurrence of IHD and stroke in diabetic patients were 1.94 and 3.26, respectively, and the difference was statistically different (P = 0.016). The RR of high LDL-C was significantly higher for IHD than for stroke (P = 0.045), while all the other risk factors showed similar RRs for IHD and stroke, with no significant difference in their RRR, including hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension had the highest RRs for IHD, followed by diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension for stroke. Conclusions: The effect of diabetes mellitus on stroke was more significant than on IHD, and the effect of high LDL-C level was more significant on IHD than on stroke, other risk factors, including hypertension, have similar RRs for IHD and stroke. Health care professionals need more training regarding the RRs of these risk factors in the Iranian society, and health decision makers should consider it in their future policies.

Abstract
Background The impact of body mass index on acute ischemic stroke outcomes is unclear. Aims and/or hypothesis We sought to determine the effect of body mass index on short-term (90 days) acute ischemic stroke outcomes. Methods Data were extracted for patients with acute ischemic stroke and records of body mass index at baseline from the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive database. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard analysis were used to analyze effect of body mass index on poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale >2) and mortality, respectively, within 90 days of stroke's onset. Results Of the 4811 patients (mean age 68·8 ± 12·2 years) included in the study, 2002 (41·6%) were overweight, and 1095 (22·8%) were obese. Overweight (body mass index 25-29·9 kg/m2) was associated with decreased mortality (hazard ratios 0·59; 95% confidence interval 0·51-0·68; P < 0·01) and decrease in poor functional outcome (odds ratio 0·74; 95% confidence interval 0·64-0·85; P < 0·01) following acute ischemic stroke. The association of body mass index with stroke outcomes was dependent on age, gender, and use of thrombolytic therapy. Conclusions Being overweight or obese is associated with a better functional outcome and reduced mortality in patients of acute ischemic stroke. However, the definition of an 'optimal' body mass index, in relation to stroke outcomes, may be affected by age, gender, and use of thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and its prevalence increases with age. Various definitions of the metabolic syndrome exist, but whether some definitions are more predictive of future cardiovascular events in the elderly is unclear. We compared the risk of incident cardiovascular events in elderly individuals at least 65 years old from the Cardiovascular Health Study with and without the metabolic syndrome as defined by the European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance (EGIR), National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)/American Heart Association (AHA), American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (n = 3390). Participants were without baseline diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Except for EGIR, all definitions of the metabolic syndrome were significantly associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular (coronary or cerebrovascular) events. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for risk of incident cardiovascular events as defined by the modified WHO, NCEP/AHA, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and IDF criteria ranged from 1.153 (P = .045) for NCEP/AHA to 1.314 (P < .001) for IDF, with 95% confidence interval (CI) ranging from 1.003 to 1.503. Adjusted HR for EGIR was 1.087 (95% CI, 0.908-1.301; P = .362). Similarly, all definitions of the metabolic syndrome were significantly associated with incident coronary events except for the EGIR definition. Only the modified WHO definition was associated with increased risk for cerebrovascular events (adjusted HR, 1.301; 95% CI, 1.038-1.631; P = .022). Although all metabolic syndrome definitions except EGIR were associated with total cardiovascular events and coronary events, only the modified WHO definition was also associated with risk of cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
There has been a substantial decline in mortality from stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Japan between the 1960s and 2000s, which contributed to placing Japanese at the top of world’s life expectancy rankings. That mortality decline was attributable to reductions of blood pressure and smoking, in spite of increases in dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. The combination of public health and personalized treatment activities to enhance sodium reduction, balanced diets, smoking prevention/cessation as well as hypertension detection and treatment have contributed to the reduction of cardiovascular diseases, demonstrated by a community-based stroke prevention program. The health success story, however, contains an underlying concern about future health threats, the plateaued IHD mortality decline and increased IHD incidence among urban middle-aged men, probably due to increased dyslipidemia and diabetes. The IHD incidence and mortality trends need to be monitored because of a potential future problem for predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to develop a new approach to risk stratification using metabolic syndrome as well as traditional non-metabolic risk factors, and to examine its validity in carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS A total of 1,189 men and women aged 21-93 years old were stratified according to the absence or presence of metabolic syndrome defined by Japanese criteria, non-metabolic risk factors, and a past history of coronary heart disease. The risk stratification was as follows: (S-1) persons without a past history, non-metabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome, (S-2a) those with metabolic syndrome only, (S-2b) those with non-metabolic risk factors only, (S-3) those with non-metabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome but no past history, and (S-4) those with a past history. Carotid atherosclerosis was defined as maximum intima-media thickness ≥1.1 mm of the far wall of the common carotid artery. RESULTS Compared with individuals without these three risk components (S-1), the odds ratio was 7.2 (2.8-18.6) for a past history (S-4), 4.3 (1.7-10.9) for non-metabolic risk factors plus metabolic syndrome but no past history (S-3), 2.6 (1.1-6.4) for non-metabolic risk factors only (S-2b) and 0.5 (0.0-5.7) for metabolic syndrome only (S-2a). Net reclassification improvement from metabolic syndrome only (presence versus absence) to our risk stratification (≥S-3 versus < S-3) was 16.4% (p< 0.0001), suggesting that our risk stratification improved the classification of atherosclerosis in comparison to metabolic syndrome only. CONCLUSION Risk stratification based on traditional non-metabolic risk factors plus metabolic syndrome rather than metabolic syndrome only appears to be more useful for the clinical assessment of atherosclerosis, and probably in the prevention and control of atherosclerotic disease.

Okamura T, Kokubo Y, Watanabe M, Higashiyama A, Ono Y, Nishimura K, Okayama A, Miyamoto Y. A revised definition of the metabolic syndrome predicts coronary artery disease and ischemic stroke after adjusting for low density lipoprotein cholesterol in a 13-year cohort study of Japanese: the Suita study. Atherosclerosis 2011; 217:201-6. [PMID: 21481396 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2011.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2010] [Revised: 03/01/2011] [Accepted: 03/05/2011] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, several major organizations have proposed a unified definition for the metabolic syndrome (MetS), which should be evaluated in multiethnic groups. The effect of Mets on the incidence of cardiovascular disease needs to be assessed after adjusting for serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), a major risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases. This is especially needed to be evaluated in Asian populations with low incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS We conducted a 13-year prospective study of 4939 Japanese living in an urban area. The MetS was defined using a unified classification that included cut-off points for waist circumference in Asians. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of MetS for CAD and stroke were calculated using a Cox proportional model adjusted for other potential confounding factors with LDLC. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION During the follow-up period, there were 155 cases of CAD and 204 of stroke including 118 cerebral infarctions. In participants under 65 years old, the multivariable HRs of MetS for CAD were 1.21 (95% C.I., 0.64-2.28) in men and 4.44 (95% C.I., 1.73-11.4) in women; the HRs for ischemic stroke were 3.24 (95% C.I., 1.55-6.77) in men and 3.99 (95% C.I., 1.34-11.8) in women. In participants aged 65 years old and over, MetS only showed a significant association with CAD in men (HR 1.89, 95% C.I., 1.11-3.21). Serum LDLC was associated with increased risk of CAD in men irrespective of age group; however, it was not associated with CAD in women. There was no association between serum LDLC and ischemic stroke in any group stratified by sex and the age of 65. These results indicate that the new uniform MetS definition is useful for detecting high risk individuals, especially for middle-aged population. However, continuous screening for hypercholesterolemia is necessary to prevent CAD, especially in men, even in Asian countries such as Japan.

Abstract
Recently published data demonstrate major demographic changes and disease trends evolving in the Asia-Pacific. These portentous developments will have far-reaching social and economic implications in terms of income security, social welfare and medical services. The region is now home to more than half of the world's population and includes some of the richest and most developed countries alongside some of the poorest and least developed ones. In the coming decades, the number of older persons (aged 60 years or over) and the number of the oldest-old (aged ≥80 years) in the region will increase rapidly. The Asia-Pacific is first in rank in terms of the number of urban dwellers. Despite persisting levels of underweight in some countries in the Asia-Pacific, overweight and obesity have become endemic for almost the entire region. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent. The Asia-Pacific has the largest diabetes burden in the world. A smoking epidemic is developing in the region. As a consequence of these exacerbations in cardiovascular risk factors, already half of the world's cardiovascular burden occurs in the Asia-Pacific. Additionally, osteoporosis is becoming a serious public health issue in the Asia-Pacific and dementia is reaching epidemic proportions. The mix of a rapidly increasing, aging and urbanized population and a developing epidemic of chronic diseases will result in an enormous, health, social and economic burden and is threatening to overwhelm the health-care systems of less developed countries in the Asia-Pacific.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several studies have reported a significant association of metabolic syndrome with urinary albumin excretion, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or chronic kidney disease; however, no study has investigated the association of metabolic syndrome with these 3 factors together in the same individual. Therefore, we conducted the present study to obtain more information on this association. METHODS We enrolled 712 Japanese subjects without diabetes, macroalbuminuria, or medications, who entered our hospitalized health check-up program (180 women and 532 men; mean age, 53.2 years; mean body mass index, 24.1 kg/m(2)). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by 4 major definitions. Low glomerular filtration rate was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2). RESULTS Both urinary albumin excretion and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were significantly higher in those with metabolic syndrome than without, and metabolic syndrome was an independent determinant of both. In contrast, estimated glomerular filtration rate and the prevalence of low glomerular filtration rate did not differ significantly between those with and without metabolic syndrome. Among the 5 components of metabolic syndrome and other clinical variables, systolic blood pressure was an independent determinant of urinary albumin excretion; the 5 components and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were all independent determinants of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; systolic blood pressure was an independent determinant of low glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome is associated with vascular dysfunction and low-grade inflammation and the latter association is strong, whereas the association of metabolic syndrome with low glomerular filtration rate may be less apparent among those without diabetes, macroalbuminuria, and medications.
