Int J Obes (Lond) 2024; 48:891-899. [PMID: 38383717 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-024-01493-8] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to estimate the prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in the United States and its relative risk due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS Data in this cross-sectional study were extracted from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2018. Weighted multistage stratified probability sampling design was considered to estimate the prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses and weighted multivariable mediation models were performed to evaluate the association between OSA and early-onset sarcopenia. RESULTS The prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and early-onset sarcopenic obesity was estimated to be 5.5% and 4.6%, respectively. A higher prevalence of sarcopenia (12% V.S. 5.5%, P < 0.01) and sarcopenic obesity (10.3% V.S. 4.0%, P < 0.01) was observed among participants with OSA than those without OSA. Multivariable logistic regression models suggested that participants with OSA had higher odds ratios of suffering from early-onset sarcopenia [Odds Ratio (OR): 1.5, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.1-2.7] and early-onset sarcopenic obesity [OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.1] after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Mediation analyses suggested serum chronic reaction protein (CRP) mediated 23.7% (P < 0.01) & 26.2% (P < 0.01), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) mediated 24.8% (P < 0.01) & 20.7% (P < 0.05), body mass index (BMI) mediated 46.4% (P < 0.05) & 49.9% (P < 0.01), HEI-2015 mediated 23.3% (P < 0.01) & 25.6% (P < 0.01), and Vitamin D mediated 7.5% (P < 0.01) & 8.5% (P < 0.01) of the potential effects of OSA on early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, respectively. CONCLUSION Early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were prevalent among young adults in the US. OSA is a significant independent risk factor and may induce muscle loss by unhealthy diet habits, higher BMI, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and Vitamin D. It was essential for clinicians to arrange appropriate screening and interventions for patients with OSA to prevent muscle loss as early as possible.

[PMID: 38258656 PMCID: PMC11056183 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.030683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relation between age at diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) is unclear. We assessed the association between age at diagnosis of T2D and HHF. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a population-based cohort study using administrative health databases from the Canadian province of Ontario, including participants without prior heart failure. We identified people with new-onset T2D between April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2015, and matched each person with 3 diabetes-free adults, according to birth year and sex. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and rate ratios (RRs) for the association between age at T2D diagnosis and incident HHF, which was assessed until March 31, 2020. Among 743 053 individuals with T2D and 2 199 539 matched individuals without T2D, 126 241 incident HHF events occurred over 8.9 years. T2D was associated with a greater adjusted hazard of HHF at younger ages (eg, HR at age 30 years: 6.94 [95% CI, 6.54-7.36]) than at older ages (eg, HR at age 60 years: 2.50 [95% CI, 2.45-2.56]) relative to matched individuals. Additional adjustment for mediators (hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease) marginally attenuated this relationship. Age at T2D diagnosis was associated with a greater number of HHF events relative to matched individuals at younger ages (eg, RR at age 30 years: 6.39 [95% CI, 5.76-7.08]) than at older ages (eg, RR at age 60 years: 2.65 [95% CI, 2.54-2.76]). CONCLUSIONS Younger age at T2D diagnosis is associated with a disproportionately elevated HHF risk relative to age-matched individuals without T2D.

Abstract
The important role of m6A RNA modification in β-cell function has been established; however, how it regulates pancreatic development and endocrine differentiation remains unknown. Here, we generated transgenic mice lacking RNA methyltransferase-like 3 (Mettl3) specifically in Pdx1+ pancreatic progenitor cells and found the mice with the mutation developed hyperglycemia and hypoinsulinemia at age 2 weeks, along with an atrophic pancreas, reduced islet mass, and abnormal increase in ductal formation. At embryonic day 15.5, Mettl3 deletion had caused a significant loss of Ngn3+ endocrine progenitor cells, which was accompanied by increased Sox9+ ductal precursor cells. We identified histone deacetylase 1 (Hdac1) as the critical direct m6A target in bipotent progenitors, the degeneration of which caused abnormal activation of the Wnt/Notch signaling pathway and blocked endocrine differentiation. This transformation could be manipulated in embryonic pancreatic culture in vitro through regulation of the Mettl3-Hdac1-Wnt/Notch signaling axis. Our finding that Mettl3 determines endocrine lineage by modulating Hdac1 activity during the transition of bipotent progenitors might help in the development of targeted endocrine cell protocols for diabetes treatment.

Biol Sex Differ 2023; 14:9. [PMID: 36804018 PMCID: PMC9940390 DOI: 10.1186/s13293-023-00491-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether the association of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with dementia was differed by sex remains unclear, and the roles of age at onset of disease, insulin use and diabetes' complications in their association are unknown. METHODS This study analyzed data of 447 931 participants from the UK Biobank. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate sex-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and women-to-men ratio of HRs (RHR) for the association between T2DM and incident dementia [all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VD)]. The roles of age at onset of disease, insulin use and diabetes' complications in their association were also analyzed. RESULTS Compared to people with no diabetes at all, people with T2DM had increased risk of all-cause dementia (HR 2.85, 95% CI 2.56-3.17). The HRs between T2DM and AD were higher in women than men, with an RHR (95%CI) of 1.56 (1.20, 2.02). There was a trend that people who experienced T2DM before age 55 had higher risk of VD than those who had T2DM after age 55. In addition, there was a trend that T2DM had higher effect on VD that occurred before age 75 years than events that occurred after age 75. Patients with T2DM using insulin had higher risk of all-cause dementia than those without insulin, with an RHR (95%CI) of 1.54 (1.00-2.37). People with complications had doubled risk of all-cause dementia, AD and VD. CONCLUSIONS Adopting a sex-sensitive strategy to address the risk of dementia in patients with T2DM is instrumental for a precision medicine approach. Meanwhile, it is warranted to consider patients' age at onset of T2DM, insulin use status and complications conditions.

Abstract
Objective The West China Hospital of Sichuan University collaborated with regional medical consortia in Sichuan Province to launch a natural population cohort study (NPCS) to investigate the health status of residents and collect public health data in southwest China. Methods Up to 80,000 participants will be enrolled by the NPCS from 11 regional medical consortia over five years. Individuals are invited to visit one of 11 participating medical consortia to fill out questionnaires, receive a free health exam, and donate biospecimens upon enrolment. All participating medical facilities adhered to standard operating procedures for collecting and processing biospecimens to ensure uniformity (serum, lithium heparinized plasma, ethylene diamine tetraacetie acid plasma, and buffy coat). The Electronic Data Capture System, Picture Archiving and Communication System, Laboratory Information Management System, Biospecimen Quality Control System, Biobank Information Management System, and will be used to sort and classify clinical indices, imaging data, laboratory parameters, pre-analytical variables, and biospecimen information, respectively. All quality assurance and quality control procedures in the NPCS biobank adhered to the "DAIDS Guidelines for Good Clinical Laboratory Practice Standards". This project will integrate high-dimensional multi-omics data, laboratory data, clinical data, questionnaire data, and environmental risk factors. Results An estimated 2,240,000 aliquots of the sample will be stored by the end of the study. These samples are linked with comprehensively collected clinical indices, imaging data, and laboratory parameters. Big data analysis can be implemented to create predictive algorithms, explore pathogenesis mechanisms, uncover potential biomarkers, and provide information on public health. Conclusions NPCS will provide an integrative approach to research risk factors and pathogenesis of major chronic or endemic diseases in Sichuan Province and provide key scientific evidence to support the formulation of health management policies in China.

[PMID: 36774108 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxac172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies have suggested that consumption of sulfur amino acids (SAAs), including methionine and cysteine, is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans and with T2D-related biomarkers in animals. But whether higher long-term SAA intake increases the risk of T2D in humans remains unknown. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the association between long-term dietary SAA intake and risk of T2D. METHODS We analyzed data collected from 2 different cohorts of the Framingham Heart Study, a long-term, prospective, and ongoing study. The Offspring cohort (1991-2014) included participants from fifth through ninth examinations, and the Third-Generation cohort (2002-2011) included participants from first and second examinations. After excluding participants with a clinical history of diabetes, missing dietary data, or implausible total energy intake, 3222 participants in the Offspring cohort and 3205 participants in the Third-Generation cohort were included. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated FFQ. The relations between energy-adjusted total SAA (methionine and cysteine) intake or individual SAA intake (in quintiles) and risk of incident T2D were estimated via Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for dietary and nondietary risk factors. Associations across the 2 cohorts were determined by direct combination and meta-analysis. RESULTS During the 23 y of follow-up, 472 participants reported a new diagnosis of T2D in the 2 cohorts. In the meta-analysis, the HRs of T2D comparing the highest with the lowest intake of total SAAs, methionine, and cysteine were 1.8 (95% CI: 1.3, 2.5), 1.7 (95% CI: 1.2, 2.3), and 1.4 (95% CI: 1.0, 2.1), respectively. The association of SAA intake with T2D was attenuated after adjusting animal protein intake in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that excess intake of SAAs is associated with higher risk of T2D. Dietary patterns that are low in SAAs could help in preventing T2D.

Abstract
Elevated triglyceride and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are common in type 2 diabetes, but increased atherogenic particles and dysfunctional HDL are demonstrable in both types 1 and 2 diabetes, contributing to a two-fold increase in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ASCVD risk accelerates with diabetes duration and severity, aging, risk factors, and risk enhancers. Using statins or other LDL-C-lowering agents if needed in adults with intermediate or greater degrees of risk is recommended. Although hypertriglyceridemia enhances risk, most guidelines do not recommend fibrates or omega 3 fatty acid for risk reduction except for icosapent ethyl in patients with ASCVD.

PRECISION CLINICAL MEDICINE 2022; 5:pbac015. [PMID: 35774110 PMCID: PMC9239845 DOI: 10.1093/pcmedi/pbac015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although cumulating evidence has suggested that early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) conferred on patients a broader tendency for complications beyond vascular ones, a comprehensive analysis of patterns of complications across all relevant systems is currently lacking. Method We prospectively studied 1 777 early-onset (age at diagnosis ≤ 45 years) and 35 889 late-onset (>45 years) T2DM patients with matched unexposed individuals from the UK Biobank. Diabetes-specific and -related complications were examined using phenome-wide association analysis, with patterns identified by comorbidity network analysis. We also evaluated the effect of lifestyle modifications and glycemic control on complication development. Results The median follow-up times for early-onset and late-onset T2DM patients were 17.83 and 9.39 years, respectively. Compared to late-onset T2DM patients, patients with early-onset T2DM faced a significantly higher relative risk of developing subsequent complications that primarily affected sense organs [hazard ratio (HR) 3.46 vs. 1.72], the endocrine/metabolic system (HR 3.08 vs. 2.01), and the neurological system (HR 2.70 vs. 1.81). Despite large similarities in comorbidity patterns, a more complex and well-connected network was observed for early-onset T2DM. Furthermore, while patients with early-onset T2DM got fewer benefits (12.67% reduction in pooled HR for all studied complications) through fair glycemic control (median HbA1c ≤ 53 mmol/mol) compared to late-onset T2DM patients (18.01% reduction), they seemed to benefit more from favorable lifestyles, including weight control, healthy diet, and adequate physical activity. Conclusions Our analyses reveal that early-onset T2DM is an aggressive disease resulting in more complex complication networks than late-onset T2DM. Aggressive glucose-lowering intervention, complemented by lifestyle modifications, are feasible strategies for controlling early-onset T2DM-related complications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest killer worldwide, composing a major economic burden for health care systems. Obesity and diabetes are dual epidemics on the rise and major risk factors predisposing for CVD. Increased obesity- and diabetes-related incidence is now observed among children, adolescents, and young adults. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic pregnancy disorder, and its prevalence is rapidly increasing. During pregnancies complicated by GDM, the offspring are exposed to a compromised intrauterine environment characterized by hyperglycemic periods. Unfavorable in utero conditions at critical periods of fetal cardiac development can produce developmental adaptations that remodel the cardiovascular system in a way that can contribute to adult-onset of heart disease due to the programming during fetal life. Epidemiological studies have reported increased cardiovascular complications among GDM-descendants, highlighting the urgent need to investigate and understand the mechanisms modulated during fetal development of in utero GDM-exposed offspring that predispose an individual to increased CVD during life. In this manuscript, we overview previous studies in this area and gather evidence linking GDM and CVD development in the offspring, providing new insights on novel mechanisms contributing to offspring CVD programming by GDM, from the role of maternal-fetal interactions to their impact on fetal cardiovascular development, how the perpetuation of cardiac programming is maintained in postnatal life, and advance the intergenerational implications contributing to increased CVD premature origin. Understanding the perpetuation of CVD can be the first step to manage and reverse this leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by a combination of genetics and environmental factors. The importance of the inflammatory response occurring in the pancreas and adipose tissue in the occurrence and progression of diabetes has been gradually accepted. Excess blood glucose and free fatty acids produce large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines through oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. There is sufficient evidence that proinflammatory mediators, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, macrophage chemotactic protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α, are engaged in the insulin resistance in peripheral adipose tissue and the apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells. IL-36, IL-37, and IL-38, as new members of the IL-1 family, play an indispensable effect in the regulation of immune system homeostasis and are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Recently, the abnormal expression of IL-36, IL-37, and IL-38 in diabetes has been reported. In this review, we discuss the emerging functions, potential mechanisms, and future research directions on the role of IL-36, IL-37, and IL-38 in diabetes mellitus and its complications.

Abstract
CONTEXT Early-onset diabetes has been associated with unfavorable cardiovascular risk but data on heart failure (HF) in this subpopulation are scarce. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study the risk of, and risk factors for, incident HF in individuals with early-onset type 2 diabetes. METHODS We studied 606 individuals with type 2 diabetes diagnosed before 40 years of age (early-onset) and 1258 counterparts with diabetes diagnosed from 41 to 65 years of age (usual-onset) with no HF history, at a regional hospital, over a median follow-up period of 7.1 years. Incident HF by European Cardiology Society criteria was determined. RESULTS A total of 62 and 108 HF events were identified in the early- and usual-onset groups (1.55 and 1.29 per 100 patient-years), respectively. Compared with usual-onset counterparts, individuals with early-onset diabetes had a 1.20-fold unadjusted (95% CI, 0.88-1.63; P = 0.26) and 1.91-fold age-adjusted (95% CI, 1.37-2.66; P < 0.001) hazard ratio (HR) for incident HF. Adjustment for traditional cardiometabolic risk factors only moderately mitigated the hazards (adjusted HR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.19-2.40; P = 0.003). However, additional adjustment for estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria markedly attenuated the association of early-onset age with incident HF (adjusted HR 1.24; 95% CI, 0.87-1.77; P = 0.24). Notably, a long diabetes duration was not significantly associated with HF risk after accounting for kidney measures. CONCLUSION Individuals with early-onset diabetes have at least the same absolute risk and a 2-fold age-adjusted relative risk for incident HF. Excess cardiorenal risk factors but not a long diabetes duration are main drivers for HF development in this diabetic population.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder whose rising incidence suggests the epidemic proportions of the disease. Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) and Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) - alone or combined - represent two intermediate metabolic condition between Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) and overt T2DM. Several studies have demonstrated that insulin resistance and beta-cell impairment can be identified even in normoglycemic prediabetic individuals. Worsening of these two conditions may lead to progression of IGT and/or IFG status to overt diabetes. Starting from these assumptions, it seems logical to suppose that interventions aimed at improving metabolic conditions, even in prediabetes, could represent an effective target to halt transition from IGT/IFG to manifest T2DM. Starting from pathophysiological knowledge, in this review we evaluate two possible interventions (lifestyle modifications and pharmacological agents) eligible as prediabetes therapy since they have been demonstrated to improve insulin resistance and beta-cell impairment. Detecting high-risk people and treating them could represent an effective strategy to slow down progression to overt diabetes, normalize glucose tolerance, and even prevent micro- and macrovascular complications.
