Clinical outcomes of obese and nonobese patients with atrial fibrillation according to associated metabolic abnormalities: A report from the COOL-AF registry. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13519. [PMID: 38095262 PMCID: PMC11212287 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13519] [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: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary objective was to determine the influence of obesity and associated metabolic status on clinical outcomes of Asian patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS This study was based on a prospective multicenter of patients with nonvalvular AF. Patients were classified as obese and nonobese and being metabolic unhealthy was defined as having at least one of the three cardiovascular risk factors including dyslipidemia, hypertension, or diabetes mellitus. Outcomes were a primary composite outcome of all-cause death, ischemic stroke/systemic embolism (SSE), acute myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure (HF), as well as the individual end points. RESULTS There were a total of 3141 enrolled patients (mean age 67.4 ± 11.1 years; 41.0% female), of whom 1566 (49.9%) were obese and 2564 (81.6%) were metabolic unhealthy. During a mean follow-up of 32.2 ± 8.3 months, the incidence rate of the composite outcome, all-cause death, SSE, MI, and HF were 7.21 (6.63-7.82), 3.86 (3.45-4.30), 1.48 (1.23-1.77), 0.47 (0.33-0.64), and 2.84 (2.48-3.23) per 100 person-years, respectively. Metabolic unhealthy nonobese subjects were at higher risk of the composite outcomes than metabolic unhealthy obese subjects with hazard ratio (HR) 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17-1.66, p < .001. Metabolic unhealthy obese subjects tend to have an increased risk of the composite outcomes compared to those metabolic healthy obese (HR 1.36, 95% CI 0.91-2.02, p = .133). Metabolic healthy obese subjects were not associated with increased risk. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic unhealthy obese subjects were associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes in AF patients, whereas metabolically healthy obesity was not associated with an increased risk.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance in various tissues. Though conventionally associated with obesity, current research indicates that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is the leading determining factor, wielding more influence regardless of individual body mass. The heightened metabolic activity of VAT encourages the circulation of free fatty acid (FFA) molecules, which induce insulin resistance in surrounding tissues. Individuals most vulnerable to this preferential fat deposition are older males with ancestral ties to Asian countries because genetics and sex hormones are pivotal factors for VAT accumulation. However, interventions in one's diet and lifestyle have the potential to strategically discourage the growth of VAT. This illuminates the possibility that the expansion of VAT and, subsequently, the risk of T2D development are preventable. Therefore, by reducing the amount of VAT accumulated in an individual and preventing it from building up, one can effectively control and prevent the development of T2D.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:251-269. [PMID: 37968171 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.09.002] [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: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to systematically review and analyze differences in the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) comparing metabolically healthy but obese (MHO) with metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) subjects. DATA SYNTHESIS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies that matched the relevant search terms. Differences in inflammatory marker levels between MHO and the other three phenotypes were pooled as standardized mean differences (SMD) or differences of medians (DM) using a random-effects model. We included 91 studies reporting data on 435,007 individuals. The CRP levels were higher in MHO than in MHNO subjects (SMD = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.76; DM = 0.83 mg/L, 95% CI: 0.56, 1.11). The CRP levels were higher in MHO than in MUNO subjects (SMD = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.28; DM = 0.39 mg/L, 95% CI: 0.09, 0.69). The CRP levels were lower in MHO than in MUO individuals (SMD = -0.43, 95% CI: -0.54, -0.31; DM = -0.82 mg/L, 95% CI: -1.16, -0.48). The IL-6 levels in MHO were higher than in MHNO while lower than in MUO subjects. The TNF-α levels in MHO were higher than in MHNO individuals. CONCLUSIONS This review provides evidence that CRP levels in MHO are higher than in MHNO and MUNO subjects but lower than in MUO individuals. Additionally, IL-6 levels in MHO are higher than in MHNO but lower than in MUO subjects, and TNF-α levels in MHO are higher than in MHNO individuals. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO number: CRD42021234948.

[PMID: 38320917 DOI: 10.1016/j.orcp.2024.01.006] [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: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
There is a lack of consensus regarding universally accepted criteria for metabolic health (MH). A simple definition of MH was systematically derived in a recent prospective cohort study. The present cross-sectional study aimed to explore the applicability of these criteria in Korean population, using coronary calcification as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. In total, 1049 healthy participants, who underwent coronary artery calcification testing at university hospital health promotion centers between January and December 2022, were included. Applying the main components of the newly derived definition, MH was defined as follows: (1) systolic blood pressure < 130 mmHg and no use of blood pressure-lowering medication; (2) waist circumference < 90 cm for males and < 85 cm for females; and (3) absence of diabetes. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to examine the odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) for coronary artery calcium score across different phenotypes. The prevalence of coronary artery calcification in this study was 41.1 %. Compared with metabolically healthy, normal weight subjects, those with the metabolically healthy obesity phenotype did not exhibit increased odds for coronary atherosclerosis. (OR 0.93 [95 % CI 0.48-1.79]) Conversely, metabolically unhealthy subjects had increased risk, regardless of their body mass index category (OR 3.10 [95 % CI 1.84-5.24] in metabolically unhealthy normal weight; OR 3.21 [95 % CI 1.92-5.37] in metabolically unhealthy overweight; OR 2.73 [95 % CI 1.72-4.33] in metabolically unhealthy obese phenotype). These findings suggest that the new definition for MH has the potential to effectively distinguish individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease from those who are not.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although up to 20% of people with type 2 diabetes (DM) have normal BMI (< 25 kg/m2), it remains unclear whether there is a difference in the development of cardiac dysfunction between those with normal and higher BMI. Furthermore, little is known about the relationship of visceral fat with BMI or fitness in asymptomatic patients with DM. METHODS We prospectively enrolled asymptomatic patients with DM and divided into two groups: BMI ≥ 25kg/m2 (overweight/obese group) versus < 25kg/m2(normal-weight group). Resting echocardiogram followed by exercise stress echocardiogram and exercise gas exchange analysis (in a subgroup) was performed. Cardiac function was evaluated using left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVLS), E/e', and relative wall thickness (RWT). In addition, epicardial fat thickness (EFT) was measured to estimate visceral fat. RESULTS Normal-weight patients with DM had more EFT compared with overweight/obese patients (0.66 ± 0.17 cm vs. 0.59 ± 0.22 cm, p < 0.05), despite the overlap between the groups. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of LV remodeling (p = 0.49), impaired LVLS (p = 0.22), or increased E/e' (p = 0.26), and these were consistently observed when matched for race. The majority of patients (63%) achieved ≥ 85% of percent peak-predicted VO2. At peak, there was no significant difference in peak VO2 normalized by eLBM (36.4 ± 7.7 vs. 37.8 ± 7.1 ml/kg eLBM/min, p = 0.43) while VO2 normalized by weight (23.6 ± 6.5 vs. 29.6 ± 6.7 ml/kg/min, p < 0.001) and VO2 ratio (5.7 ± 1.7 vs. 7.3 ± 2.4 METs, p = 0.001) were significantly lower in patients with obese/overweight group. There was no significant difference between patients with higher and lower EFT. CONCLUSIONS Patients with DM and normal BMI have excess epicardial fat compared to those with overweight/obese. Epicardial fat was not directly linked to prevalence of subclinical dysfunction.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1172323. [PMID: 37538796 PMCID: PMC10395081 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1172323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Visceral adipose tissue assessment holds significant importance in diabetes prevention. This study aimed to explore the association between the newly proposed Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF) and diabetes risk and to further assess the predictive power of the baseline METS-VF for the occurrence of diabetes in different future periods. Methods This longitudinal cohort study included 15,464 subjects who underwent health screenings. The METS-VF, calculated using the formula developed by Bello-Chavolla et al., served as a surrogate marker for visceral fat obesity. The primary outcome of interest was the occurrence of diabetes during the follow-up period. Established multivariate Cox regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression models to assess the association between METS-VF and diabetes risk and its shape. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive power of METS-VF with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) for diabetes, and time-dependent ROC analysis was conducted to assess the predictive capability of METS-VF for the occurrence of diabetes in various future periods. Results During a maximum follow-up period of 13 years, with a mean of 6.13 years, we observed that the cumulative risk of developing diabetes increased with increasing METS-VF quintiles. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that each unit increase in METS-VF would increase the risk of diabetes by 68% (HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.13, 2.50), and further RCS regression analysis revealed a possible non-linear association between METS-VF and diabetes risk (P for non-linearity=0.002). In addition, after comparison by ROC analysis, we found that METS-VF had significantly higher predictive power for diabetes than other general/visceral adiposity indicators, and in time-dependent ROC analysis, we further considered the time-dependence of diabetes status and METS-VF and found that METS-VF had the highest predictive value for predicting medium- and long-term (6-10 years) diabetes risk. Conclusion METS-VF, a novel indicator for assessing visceral adiposity, showed a significantly positive correlation with diabetes risk. It proved to be a superior risk marker in predicting the future onset of diabetes compared to other general/visceral adiposity indicators, particularly in forecasting medium- and long-term diabetes risk.

Abstract
Diabetes and obesity are chronic diseases that are a burden to low- and middle-income countries. We conducted this systematic review to understand gene-diet interactions affecting the Southeast Asian population's risk of obesity and diabetes. The literature search was performed on Google Scholar and MEDLINE (PubMed) search engines independently by four reviewers who evaluated the eligibility of articles based on inclusion criteria. Out of 19,031 articles, 20 articles examining gene-diet interactions on obesity and/or diabetes-related traits met the inclusion criteria. Three (Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore) out of eleven Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries have conducted studies on gene-diet interactions on obesity and diabetes. From the 20 selected articles, the most common interactions were observed between macronutrients and genetic risk score (GRS) on metabolic disease-related traits in the Malay, Chinese, and Indian ethnicities. Overall, we identified 29 significant gene-diet interactions in the Southeast Asian population. The results of this systematic review demonstrate ethnic-specific gene-nutrient interactions on metabolic-disease-related traits in the Southeast Asian population. This is the first systematic review to explore gene-diet interactions on obesity and diabetes in the Southeast Asian population and further research using larger sample sizes is required for better understanding and framing nutrigenetic approaches for personalized nutrition.

Abstract
To examine factors associated with abdominal obesity among normal-weight individuals from the Demographic and Health Survey of Peru (2018-2021). Cross-sectional analytical study. The outcome variable was abdominal obesity defined according to JIS criteria. Crude (cPR) and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were estimated for the association between sociodemographic and health-related variables and abdominal obesity using the GLM Poisson distribution with robust variance estimates. A total of 32,109 subjects were included. The prevalence of abdominal obesity was 26.7%. The multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant association between abdominal obesity and female sex (aPR: 11.16; 95% CI 10.43-11.94); categorized age 35 to 59 (aPR: 1.71; 95% CI 1.65-1.78); 60 to 69 (aPR: 1.91; 95% CI 1.81-2.02); and 70 or older(aPR: 1.99; 95% CI 1.87-2.10); survey year 2019 (aPR: 1.22; 95% CI 1.15-1.28); 2020 (aPR: 1.17; 95% CI 1.11-1.24); and 2021 (aPR: 1.12; 95% CI 1.06-1.18); living in Andean region (aPR: 0.91; 95% CI 0.86-0.95); wealth index poor (aPR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.18-1.35); middle (aPR: 1.17; 95% CI 1.08-1.26); rich (aPR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.17-1.36); and richest (aPR: 1.25; 95% CI 1.16-1.36); depressive symptoms (aPR: 0.95; 95% CI 0.92-0.98); history of hypertension (aPR: 1.08; 95% CI 1.03-1.13), type 2 diabetes (aPR: 1.13; 95% CI 1.07-1.20); and fruit intake 3 or more servings/day (aPR: 0.92; 95% CI 0.89-0.96). Female sex, older ages, and low and high income levels increased the prevalence ratio for abdominal obesity, while depressive symptoms, living in the Andean region, and fruit intake of 3 or more servings/day decreased it.

Abstract
This study aims to determine and compare the prevalence and correlates of obesity and abdominal obesity in India among participants aged 18-54 years. Data were acquired from the nationally representative National Family Health Survey 2019-21. Age and sex standardized descriptive analyses were conducted to determine the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity, and multivariable multilevel logistic regression was performed to identify the factors associated with these conditions. Gender-specific analyses were also conducted. The sample weight was adjusted throughout. The final sample size for this study was 698,286. The prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was 13.85% and 57.71%, respectively. Older age, being female, increased educational status and increased wealth index, being married at any point, and residing in an urban area all increased the odds of both obesity and abdominal obesity. Being a resident of the North zone and having a current alcohol intake increased the odds of abdominal obesity. On the other hand, being a resident of the South zone of India increased the odds of obesity. Targeting these high-risk groups can be a strategy for public health promotion programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia. AIMS To evaluate the nutritional status of patients with IBD and determine the threshold values of different parameters of nutritional assessment to identify malnutrition. METHODS This was a single-centre cross-sectional analysis of adult patients with IBD [ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD)] who underwent anthropometry [body mass index (BMI), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and triceps-fold thickness (TSF)], body composition analysis and assessment for sarcopenia [hand-grip strength and skeletal muscle index (SMI) at L3 vertebral level)]. Age- and gender-matched healthy adults served as controls. Malnutrition was defined according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria. RESULTS A total of 406 patients [336 (82.76%) UC and 70 (17.24%) CD; mean age 40.56 ± 13.67 years; 215 (52.95%) males] with IBD and 100 healthy controls (mean age 38.69 ± 10.90 years; 56 (56%) males) were enrolled. The mean BMI, MUAC, TSF thickness, fat and lean mass, hand-grip strength, and SMI at L3 vertebral level were lower in patients with IBD compared to controls. The prevalence of malnutrition was similar in UC and CD [24.40% (n = 82) and 28.57% (n = 20), respectively (p = 0.46)]. Thresholds for fat mass in females (15.8 kg) and visceral fat index in males (0.26) were both sensitive and specific to detect malnutrition. The cutoff values of MUAC and TSF thickness to identify malnutrition were 23.25 cm and 25.25 cm, and 16.50 mm and 8.50 mm, in females and males, respectively. CONCLUSION Malnutrition and sarcopenia were common in patients with IBD, with the prevalence being similar in patients with both UC and CD.

Abstract
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) 3 is a rare genetic disorder caused by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ gene (PPARG) mutations. Most cases have been reported in Western patients. Here, we describe a first pedigree of FPLD 3 in Japanese. The proband was a 51-year-old woman. She was diagnosed with fatty liver at age 32 years, dyslipidemia at age 37 years, and diabetes mellitus at age 41 years. Her body mass index was 18.5 kg/m2, and body fat percentage was 19.2%. On physical examination, she had less subcutaneous fat in the upper limbs than in other sites. On magnetic resonance imaging, atrophy of subcutaneous adipose tissue was seen in the upper limbs and lower legs. Fasting serum C-peptide immunoreactivity was high (3.4 ng/mL), and the plasma glucose disappearance rate was low (2.07%/min) on an insulin tolerance test, both suggesting apparent insulin resistance. The serum total adiponectin level was low (2.3 μg/mL). Mild fatty liver was seen on abdominal computed tomography. On genetic analysis, a P495L mutation in PPARG was identified. The same mutation was also seen in her father, who had non-obese diabetes mellitus, and FPLD 3 was diagnosed. Modest increases in body fat and serum total adiponectin were seen with pioglitazone treatment. Attention should be paid to avoid overlooking lipodystrophy syndromes even in non-obese diabetic patients if they show features of insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to light at night (LAN) is a potent disruptor of the circadian system. Whether LAN exposure exerts a sex- or age-specific influence on obesity needs investigation. OBJECTIVES To estimate the sex- and age-specific associations of exposure to outdoor LAN and obesity based on a national and cross-sectional survey. METHODS The study included a nationally representative sample of 98,658 adults aged ≥ 18 years who had lived in their current residence for ≥ 6 months from 162 study sites across mainland China in 2010. Outdoor LAN exposure was estimated from satellite imaging data. General obesity was defined as body-mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m2 and central obesity was defined as waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in men and ≥ 85 cm in women. Linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between LAN exposure and prevalent obesity in sex and age categories. RESULTS A monotonically increasing association of outdoor LAN with BMI, waist circumference was observed in all sex and age categories, except for adults aged 18-39 years. Significant associations of LAN exposure with prevalent obesity were observed in each sex and age category, especially in men and older people. Per 1-quintile increase in LAN was associated with 14% increased odds of general obesity in men (odds ratio, OR=1.14, 95% confidence interval, CI=1.07-1.23) and 24% in adults aged ≥ 60 years (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.14-1.35). Per 1-quintile increase in LAN was associated with 19% increased odds of central obesity in men (OR=1.19, 95% CI=1.11-1.26) and 26% in adults aged ≥ 60 years (OR=1.26, 95% CI=1.17-1.35). CONCLUSIONS Increased chronic outdoor LAN exposure was associated with increased prevalence of obesity in sex- and age- specific Chinese populations. Public health policies on reducing light pollution at night might be considered in obesity prevention.

Abstract
Objective Prediabetes is a precursor to type 2 diabetes mellitus and routine screening of prediabetes is crucial. Visceral fat (VF) is associated with prediabetes and insulin resistance. Ethnic and racial differences resulting in different levels of VF in the Indian population necessitates an India-specific study. There is a dearth of literature on the cut-off values of VF measured using a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) to predict prediabetes in the Indian population. Hence, the main objective of this study was to determine the sex-specific cut-off value of VF on BIA to predict prediabetes in the Indian population. Methods Three hundred individuals aged 18–55 years of both sexes were selected for this cross-sectional study. VF was evaluated as a part of body composition analysis using BIA. The body composition variables for the prediction of prediabetes were examined using backward logistic regression. Optimal cut-off levels of VF to predict prediabetes were identified using receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. Results VF, total fat, and age were found to be associated with prediabetes (p ≤ 0.05). In females, the cut-off value of VF for predicting prediabetes was identified as 8 with 77.8% sensitivity and 69.3% specificity; in males, it was 11 with 84% sensitivity and 62.9% specificity. Conclusion This study contributes to the sex-specific cut-off values of VF level on BIA that can be used for predicting prediabetes in the Indian population.

Abstract
Nutritional epidemiological studies show a triple burden of malnutrition with disparate prevalence across the coexisting ethnicities in Malaysia. To tackle malnutrition and related conditions in Malaysia, research in the new and evolving field of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics is essential. As part of the Gene-Nutrient Interactions (GeNuIne) Collaboration, the Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics Research and Training Unit (N2RTU) aims to solve the malnutrition paradox. This review discusses and presents a conceptual framework that shows the pathway to implementing and strengthening precision nutrition strategies in Malaysia. The framework is divided into: (1) Research and (2) Training and Resource Development. The first arm collects data from genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, gut microbiome, and phenotypic and lifestyle factors to conduct nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic, and nutri-epigenetic studies. The second arm is focused on training and resource development to improve the capacity of the stakeholders (academia, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the food industry) to utilise the findings generated by research in their respective fields. Finally, the N2RTU framework foresees its applications in artificial intelligence and the implementation of precision nutrition through the action of stakeholders.

Abstract
Insights from epidemiological, clinical and basic research are illuminating the interplay between metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and kidney dysfunction, termed cardio-renal-metabolic (CRM) disease. Broadly defined, CRM disease involves multidirectional interactions between metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), various types of CVD and chronic kidney disease (CKD). T2D confers increased risk for heart failure, which-although well known-has only recently come into focus for treatment, and may differ by ethnicity, whereas atherosclerotic heart disease is a well-established complication of T2D. Many people with T2D also have CKD, with a higher risk in Asians than their Western counterparts. Furthermore, CVD increases the risk of CKD and vice versa, with heart failure, notably, present in approximately half of CKD patients. Molecular mechanisms involved in CRM disease include hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, production of advanced glycation end-products, oxidative stress, lipotoxicity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, calcium-handling abnormalities, mitochondrial malfunction and deficient energy production, and chronic inflammation. Pathophysiological manifestations of these processes include diabetic cardiomyopathy, vascular endothelial dysfunction, cardiac and renal fibrosis, glomerular hyperfiltration, renal hypoperfusion and venous congestion, reduced exercise tolerance leading to metabolic dysfunction, and calcification of atherosclerotic plaque. Importantly, recognition of the interaction between CRM diseases would enable a more holistic approach to CRM care, rather than isolated treatment of individual conditions, which may improve patient outcomes. Finally, aspects of CRM diseases may differ between Western and East Asian countries such as Japan, a super-ageing country, with potential differences in epidemiology, complications and prognosis that represent an important avenue for future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Functional constipation (FC) and malnutrition are 2 of the most common diseases affecting children worldwide with long-term consequences. We hereby performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the relationship between these 2 entities. METHODS We searched PubMed, American Academics of Pediatrics (AAP), Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov (from inception to December 11, 2021) using "constipation," "growth," and "children" as the keywords. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used as the risk of bias assessment tool. Meta-analysis using the random-effects model was done. RESULTS Eighteen studies involving 33,410 children were chosen in this study. Meta-analysis of all the studies showed statistically significant relationship between FC with both overweight/obesity [odds ratio (OR) = 1.75; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.11-2.76; P = 0.02], in Asian countries subgroup, and undernutrition (OR = 2.38; 95% CI = 1.43-3.97; P < 0.001) in Asian countries using ROME criteria's subgroup. Normal weight patients were also more prevalent in non-FC patients in Asia (OR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.38-0.76; P < 0.001). The relationship between FC and short stature is still inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS FC is correlated with the prevalence of both overweight/obesity and undernutrition. Future studies should evaluate the causal relationship and whether FC treatment could help.

Abstract
Obesity is a prevalent health issue. Evidence suggests that the availability of urban nature may reduce the risks of obesity. However, several knowledge gaps remain. This study explores the relationships between the dose (distance, duration and frequency) of urban nature and demographic factors towards obesity risks among people in Thailand. A total of 111 participants in three urban and peri-urban nature locations answered a survey regarding their distance from green spaces, frequency of visits, and duration of their typical stay, as well as their socio-demographics, and waist-hip ratio (WHR). The results suggested that at least 1-2 h per typical visit to nature predicted low-risk WHR in women. Male participants are more likely to have a high-risk WHR. Increasing age predicted low-risk WHR. Spending more time in green spaces predicted lower odds of high-risk WHR, while distance did not predict the odds. This research is one of the first to study the relationship between time spent in nature and obesity, and one of the first nature and health studies conducted in Thailand. Given that Thailand is one of the countries most affected by obesity in Southeast Asia, this study is relevant and essential. Future research should explore the quality factors of the park with longer duration of stay.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes and obesity continues to rise in East Asia. As the risk of diabetes increases at a lower body mass index (BMI) in East Asians than in Europeans, the threshold of BMI values for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is lower in East Asians. MBS is considered upon reaching a BMI of 27.5 kg/m2 and is recommended at a BMI of ≥ 32.5 kg/m2 , depending on the status of glucose homeostasis. The most commonly performed MBS in East Asia is sleeve gastrectomy, followed by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Because the incidence of gastric cancer is higher in East Asia than in other regions, concerns regarding surveillance for gastric cancer might be related to a preference for sleeve gastrectomy over RYGB in this region. Even though there is a paucity of data on direct comparisons of the efficacy of MBS among different ethnic groups, the degree of weight reduction in East Asians is not inferior to other ethnic groups. Moreover, studies suggest that the diabetes remission rate in East Asians seemed to be higher than in other ethnic groups. Future studies involving multiethnic groups are necessary to identify possible ethnic differences in diabetes remission and to determine the appropriate BMI threshold for MBS according to ethnicity.

Abstract
Currently, obesity has become one of the most serious public health problems. It takes millions of lives worldwide every year due to its association with numerous diseases and leads to significant social and economic losses. It is generally accepted that obesity is the result of the interaction of genes and environment, and the predisposition to it lies in our evolutionary past. This review discusses the role of adipose tissue in human evolution, the factors specifying a person’s predisposition to obesity, the main hypotheses for obesity origin, and potential prevention and treatment strategies arising from them. The evolutionary significance of visceral adipose tissue and some ethnic and sex characteristics associated with its distribution are also considered.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 223:112561. [PMID: 34348191 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Experimental animal studies and limited epidemiologic evidence among elder population suggest that exposure to light at night (LAN) may be obesogenic. Nevertheless, little is known about the possible impact of bedroom LAN exposure on subsequent adiposity and the distribution pattern of the accumulated fat, especially in younger population. Here, we estimated longitudinal associations of objectively assessed bedroom LAN exposure with general and abdominal adiposity among young adults. We measured 2-night bedroom LAN exposure using a portable illuminometer in a cohort of young adults (n = 482). Body composition using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis was evaluated at baseline and 1-year follow-up visit. Significant increases in fat mass (2.4 kg, P = 0.015 in male; 1.9 kg, P < 0.001 in female), visceral fat area (10.7 cm2, P < 0.001 in male; 5.0 cm2, P = 0.01 in female), waist circumference (3.8 cm, P = 0.039 in male; 2.5 cm, P = 0.047 in female) and percentage of body fat (3.6%, P = 0.002 in male; 3.0%, P = 0.001 in female) were observed among individuals with bedroom LAN higher than 5 lx. Compared to the lowest quartile group of bedroom LAN exposure, the highest quartile group was associated with an increase of 0.64 kg/m2 in BMI (95% CI: 0.18-1.09 kg/m2; P = 0.006) and 1.22 kg increase in fat mass (95% CI: 0.10-2.34 kg; P = 0.025) among female participants, and 10.58 cm2 in visceral fat area (95% CI: 4.85-16.31 cm2; P = 0.001) and 2.59 cm in waist circumference (95% CI: 0.37-4.81 cm; P = 0.023) among male participants. In this cohort of Chinese young adults, significant associations were observed between bedroom LAN exposure and adiposity in a sex- and fat depot-specific fashion. Further intervention and longitudinal studies could help elucidate the actual effects and develop sex-specific strategies against lifetime obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are interrelated in a complex manner, and their coexistence predisposes patients to a plethora of medical problems. Metabolic surgery has evolved as a promising therapeutic option for both conditions. It is recommended that patients, particularly those of Asian origin, maintain a lower body mass index threshold in the presence of uncontrolled DM. However, several comorbidities often accompany these chronic diseases and need to be addressed for successful surgical outcome. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are the most commonly used bariatric procedures worldwide. The bariatric benefits of RYGB and LSG are similar, but emerging evidence indicates that RYGB is more effective than LSG in improving glycemic control and induces higher rates of long-term DM remission. Several scoring systems have been formulated that are utilized to predict the chances of remission. A glycemic target of glycated hemoglobin < 7% is a reasonable goal before surgery. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, nutritional, and psychological optimization of surgical candidates improves perioperative and long-term outcomes. Various guidelines for preoperative care of individuals with obesity have been formulated, but very few specifically focus on the concerns arising from the presence of concomitant DM. It is hoped that this statement will lead to the standardization of presurgical management of individuals with DM undergoing metabolic surgery.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic multisystem endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. In the ovary, the dynamic balance between dormant and growing follicles that culminates in ovulation becomes dysfunctional in the presence of excessive androgen production (ovarian/adrenal/peripheral). Moreover, hyperandrogenicity in pregnancy affects fetal development in utero and is linked to maternal pregnancy complications. Hormonal imbalance, ovarian dysfunction, and central obesity often emerge in these patients during adolescence. Once disordered physiological changes develop in PCOS, a vicious cycle ensues, leading to reproductive, metabolic, and psychological comorbidities. With the alarming increase of the number of young adults with a high degree of obesity in Korea, the prevalence of PCOS has also considerably increased. Timely and accurate screening, multicomponent healthy lifestyle modifications for both patients and family members, and comprehensive medical interventions based on international evidence-based guidelines are essential for curtailing PCOS and its comorbidities.
