Abstract
BACKGROUND Both malnutrition and at-risk of malnutrition are prevalent among older patients receiving home medical care. Discontinuation of home medical care usually occurs when an older patient is admitted to a hospital or nursing home or dies. This study aimed to assess prospective associations between nutritional status and discontinuation of home medical care in older patients. METHODS Three hundred and thirty-three Japanese older patients receiving home-visit nursing care services were included in this study. Their nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment®-Short Form, and patients were classified into three groups (well-nourished, at-risk of malnutrition and malnourished). Outcomes were confirmed at the 1-year follow-up survey. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for discontinuation of home medical care based on nutritional status were calculated using a Cox proportional hazard model. Covariates included age, sex, living status, economic status, activities of daily living, comorbidities and dysphagia status. RESULTS In total, 297 patients (median age: 84 years) were analysed. At baseline, 48.5% of the patients were at-risk of malnutrition and 18.9% were malnourished. During the observation period of 1 year, 27.6% patients discontinued their home medical care. In the adjusted model, the HR for discontinuation of home medical care among those at-risk of malnutrition was 2.44 (95% CI: 1.34-4.45) times than that of the well-nourished group, although the malnourished group was not significantly associated with discontinuation of home medical care (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 0.77-3.72; referent: well-nourished). CONCLUSIONS At-risk of malnutrition was associated with discontinuation of home medical care among older patients.

Abstract
Normal-weight but high-percentage trunk fat phenotype was characterized in a setting where adiposity is not associated with educational and socioeconomic status. Body size trajectory since birth, current body composition measured using whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, cardiometabolic traits, serum adipokines, and dietary intake were measured cross-sectionally in 251 normal weight Japanese female university students whose fasting triglyceride and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) averaged 56 mg/dL and 1.2, respectively. They were grouped according to tertile of percentage trunk fat. Although HOMA-IR did not differ among three groups, high-percentage trunk fat was associated with higher triglyceride and apolipoprotein B, and lower HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass (OR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.04-0.38, p < 0.001), weight gain from birth to age 12 years (OR: 1.214、95% CI: 1.008-1.463、p = 0.04), and cereal consumption (OR:1.008, 95% CI: 1.000-1.016, p = 0.04) were associated with high-percentage trunk fat independent of birthweight, HOMA-IR, adipose tissue-insulin resistance index (the product of fasting insulin and free fatty acid), triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1 and B, leptin, adiponectin, blood pressure, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Early childhood growth, lower skeletal muscle mass, and higher cereal consumption may be associated with normal-weight but high-percentage trunk fat phenotype in Japanese female university students in this subanalysis study. Atherogenic profile of lipids and apolipoproteins may be directly related to abdominal fat accumulation.

Abstract
We examined whether alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST), a marker of hepatosteatosis, may be associated with a wider constellation of variables related to metabolic syndrome in Japanese women. Body fat and distribution, and metabolic syndrome-related variables were measured in 311 young and 148 middle-aged women. We had Pearson's correlation analysis and then stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses. In both middle-aged and young women, ALT/AST was associated with homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), trunk/leg fat ratio and pulse rate. In middle-aged women but not in young women, ALT/AST was associated with waist circumference, fasting glucose, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol (inversely), systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure (BP). Further, in middle-aged women only, the ratio was associated with BMI, percentage body fat, apolipoprotein B and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Among these variables, pulse rate in young women and systolic BP in middle-aged women were associated with ALT/AST independently of trunk/leg fat ratio, a sophisticated measures of abdominal fat accumulation, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol. In conclusion, ALT/AST was associated with pulse rate in young women and with systolic BP in middle-aged women independently of abdominal fat accumulation and insulin resistance. It is noted that their waist circumference averaged < 80 cm and ALT < 30 U/L, suggesting minimum accumulation of abdominal and hepatic fat, respectively, key drivers of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
This pilot study analyzed the dietary patterns of patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing initial pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), treatment in the month before treatment. Serum fatty acid fractions and their associations with ICI treatment efficacy were also investigated. The results showed that long-term survivors (those who survived for ≥ 3 years) consumed significantly more seafood than short-term survivors (those who survived for < 3 years). Furthermore, the serum levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as well as the ratio of EPA to arachidonic acid (EPA/AA) were higher in the long-term survivors than those in the short-term survivors. The group with a high serum EPA/AA ratio had a significantly higher overall survival rate after ICI treatment than the group with a low serum EPA/AA ratio. In conclusion, higher dietary seafood consumption may improve OS in lung cancer patients treated with ICI and the serum EPA/AA ratio may be a useful biomarker for determining the efficacy of ICI treatment. Thus, supplements that increase the serum EPA/AA ratio could serve as new nutritional interventions for enhancing the efficacy of ICI treatment. However, further large-scale case and intervention studies are required.

Abstract
Objective: We assessed whether alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST), a marker of hepatic steatosis, may be associated with adipose tissue dysfunction more closely than hepatic and muscle insulin resistance (IR). Methods: Associations with adipose tissue IR index (AT-IR) calculated as a product of fasting insulin and free fatty acids, leptin/adiponectin ratio, a proxy of adipocyte dysfunction, homeostasis model assessment IR (HOMA-IR), hepatic and muscle IR inferred from plasma insulin kinetics during a 75 grams oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were studied in nondiabetic 307 young and 148 middle-aged Japanese women, whose body mass index averaged 20 and 22 kilograms/m2, respectively. Results: On multivariate linear regression analysis in young women, ALT/AST was associated with trunk/leg fat ratio (standardized β = 0.202, P = 0.007), a marker of abdominal fat accumulation, and AT-IR (standardized β = 0.185, P = 0.003) independently of HOMA-IR and Matsuda index (R2 = 0.07). In middle-aged women, leptin/adiponectin ratio (standardized β = 0.446, P < 0.001) and AT-IR (standardized β = 0.292, P = 0.009) emerged as determinants of ALT/AST independently of trunk/leg fat ratio, OGTT-derived hepatic IR, leptin, and adiponectin (R2 = 0.34). Conclusions: ALT/AST was associated with AT-IR and adipocyte dysfunction more closely than hepatic and muscle IR even in nondiabetic lean Japanese women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Social networks are critical social health factors for older adults. This study examined the association between social networks and dietary variety among community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN A cross-sectional study, using the dietary variety score (DVS) developed for older Japanese people to assess dietary variety and the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) to assess social networks. SETTING N City, H Prefecture, Japan. PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 65 years (n 1229). RESULTS The LSNS-6 score in the low DVS group was lower than that in the middle and high DVS groups (12·2 ± 5·6 v. 13·4 ± 5·4 and 14·4 ± 5·7, P < 0·001). The population of social isolation (LSNS-6, < 12) in the low DVS group was higher than that in the middle and high DVS groups (43·5 % v. 35·8 % and 31·0 %, P = 0·005). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the LSNS-6 score was positively correlated with DVS (standardised coefficient, 0·092; P = 0·002). Social isolation was also significantly associated with a low DVS in the multivariate-adjusted logistic analysis model (OR, 1·30; 95 % CI 1·00, 1·68; P = 0·048). Stratified analysis results revealed the LSNS-6 and DVS were significantly associated in participants with the following characteristics: younger age (< 75 years), women and those living with someone. CONCLUSIONS Social networks were associated with dietary variety; social isolation was related to poor dietary variety among community-dwelling older adults. An association between social networks and dietary variety was observed among young-old older adults, women and those living with someone.

Abstract
Background The provision of hospital meals is considered a therapeutic intervention, and a therapeutic diet consisting of a post-discharge meal sample is provided. For elderly patients who require long-term care, it is important to determine the significance of nutrition by taking into account hospital meals, including therapeutic meals for conditions such as diabetes. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that influence this judgment. This study aimed to investigate the difference between the expected nutritional intake via nutritional interpretation and actual nutritional intake. Methods The study included 51 geriatric patients (77.7 ± 9.5 years; 36 males and 15 females) who could eat meals independently. The participants completed a dietary survey to determine the perceived nutritional intake obtained from hospital meal contents. Additionally, we investigated the amount of hospital meal leftovers from the medical records and the amount of nutrients from the menus to calculate the actual nutritional intake. We calculated the amount of calories, protein concentration, and non-protein/nitrogen ratio from the perceived and actual nutritional intake values. We then calculated the cosine similarity and conducted a qualitative analysis of factorial units to examine similarities between perceived and actual intake. Results Among factors that constituted the large cosine similarity group (gender, age, etc.), gender was found as a particularly significant factor, with a high number of female patients (P = 0.014). Conclusions Gender was found to influence the appropriate interpretation of the significance of hospital meals. The perception of such meals as samples for post-discharge dietary practice was more significant among female patients. This demonstrated that in elderly patients, it is important to consider gender differences when providing diet and convalescence guidance.

Abstract
Normal weight insulin resistant phenotype was characterized in 251 Japanese female university students using homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance. Birth weight, body composition at age 20, cardiometabolic traits and dietary intake were compared cross-sectionally between insulin sensitive (< 1.6, n = 194) and insulin resistant (2.5 and higher, n = 16) women. BMI averaged < 21 kg/m2 and waist < 72 cm and did not differ between two groups. The percentage of macrosomia and serum absolute and fat-mass corrected leptin concentrations were higher in insulin resistant women although there was no difference in birth weight, fat mass index, trunk/leg fat ratio and serum adiponectin. In addition, resting pulse rate, serum concentrations of free fatty acids, triglycerides and remnant-like particle cholesterol were higher in insulin resistant women although HDL cholesterol and blood pressure did not differ. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, serum leptin (odds ratio:1.68, 95% confidential interval:1.08-2.63, p = 0.02) was associated with normal weight insulin resistance independently of macrosomia, free fatty acids, triglycerides, remnant-like particle cholesterol and resting pulse rate. In conclusion, normal weight IR phenotype may be associated with increased plasma leptin concentrations and leptin to fat mass ratio in young Japanese women, suggesting higher leptin production by body fat unit.

Abstract
We tested whether alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST), a marker of hepatosteatosis, associates with insulin resistance, β-cell function and postglucose glycemia. We studied 311 young and 148 middle-aged Japanese women, whose BMI averaged < 23.0 kg/m2. Insulinogenic index and Matsuda index were evaluated in 110 young and 65 middle-aged women. In two groups of women, ALT/AST was associated positively with homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and inversely with Matsuda index. In middle-aged women only, the ratio was also associated positively with fasting and postload glycemia and HbA1c. The ratio showed negative association with disposition index (a product of insulinogenic index and Matsuda index). On multivariate linear regression analysis, HOMA-IR emerged as a single determinant of ALT/AST in young and middle-aged women (standardized β: 0.209, p = 0.003 and 0.372, p = 0.002, respectively). ALT/AST was associated with insulin resistance and β-cell function even in non-obese Japanese women, suggesting a pathophysiologic basis in its prediction of diabetic risk.

Abstract
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of endothelium nitric oxide synthesis and causes endothelial dysfunction that may be related to sarcopenia. However, the association between ADMA and sarcopenia has not been studied. We evaluated the correlations between plasma ADMA levels and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women. In total, 144 community-dwelling older women participated in this study. Plasma ADMA levels were measured using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Skeletal muscle mass, measured in terms of bioimpedance and grip strength, was used to assess sarcopenia. Plasma ADMA levels were significantly higher in participants with sarcopenia than in those without sarcopenia. Through receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the cutoff value of plasma ADMA level for sarcopenia was estimated at 0.57 μM. Sarcopenia was significantly more prevalent in participants with higher plasma ADMA levels than in those with lower plasma ADMA levels. According to logistic regression analysis, the crude odds ratio of higher plasma ADMA levels in participants with sarcopenia was 4.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.82-11.47; p = 0.001). Reductions in the skeletal muscle mass index over 2 years were significantly greater in participants with higher plasma ADMA levels. In conclusion, plasma ADMA levels were significantly associated with sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women.

Abstract
Background Differences in nutrition intake by meal intake time of geriatric patients may affect albumin (Alb) synthesis ability. Methods We included 36 geriatric patients (81.7 ± 7.7 years; 20 males and 16 females) as subjects. We calculated their dietary patterns (DPs) by computing intake by breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as by nutrient, for a weight of 1 kg/day for 4 weeks after hospitalization. We confirmed the relationship between "DP with a positive correlation with breakfast protein" and the change rate of albumin (Alb-RC). Then, we performed linear regression analysis to explore factors influencing Alb-RC and compared non-protein calorie/nitrogen ratio (NPC/N) between the upper and lower Alb-RC groups. Results It was observed that Alb-RC was negatively correlated with "DP with a positive correlation with breakfast protein" (B = -0.055, P = 0.038) and positively correlated with breakfast NPC/N (B = 0.043, P = 0.029). Breakfast NPC/N tended to be higher in the upper group than in the lower group (P = 0.058). Conclusion The study revealed that there was a positive correlation between Alb-RC levels and breakfast NPC/N in geriatric patients at the care mix institution.

Abstract
AbstractLimited expandability of subcutaneous adipose tissue may be characteristics of first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD) may be associated with reduced peripheral fat mass. Body composition and metabolic variables were compared between 18 and 111 Japanese female collegiate athletes, and between 55 and 148 nonathletes with positive (FHD +) and negative FHD (FHD-), respectively. We had multivariate logistic regression analyses for FHD + as dependent variable in a total population.BMI averaged < 21 kg/m2 and did not differ between FHD + and FHD- nonathletes. Despite comparable BMI, body fat percentage and serum leptin were lower in FHD + nonathletes. This was due to lower arm and gluteofemoral fat percentage (both p = 0.02) whereas the difference in trunk fat percentage was not significant (p = 0.08). These differences were not found between two groups of athletes. FHD + women had lower HDL cholesterol despite lower BMI in a total population. Fasting insulin, serum adiponectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein did not differ between FHD + and FHD- athletes or nonathletes. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed independent associations of FHD + with BMI (odds ratio, 0.869; 95% confidential interval, 0.768–0.984; p = 0.02) and HDL cholesterol (odds ratio, 0.977; 95% confidential interval, 0.957–0.997, p = 0.02). In conclusion, FHD may be associated with reduced subcutaneous fat mass in young Japanese women, suggesting impaired adipose tissue expandability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We tested whether normal-weight obesity might be associated with weight trajectories, body composition and metabolic traits. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Body size trajectory since birth, body composition at age 20 years and metabolic traits were compared cross-sectionally among normal-weight Japanese women with low (<25.0%, n=67), normal (25.0-34.9%, n=160) and high (≥35.0 %, n=24) percentage body fat. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify most important determinants of normal-weight obesity (high percentage body fat). RESULTS Fasting glucose averaged <84 mg/dL, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance <1.4 and triglyceride <70 mg/dL and did not differ among three groups. However, waist and trunk/leg fat ratio were higher, and weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass was lower in normal-weight obesity. Serum and LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein were higher, and apolipoprotein A1 was lower in normal-weight obesity compared with the other two groups, whereas HDL cholesterol did not differ. Weight gain from birth to age 12 years was higher in normal-weight obesity. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, weight gain until 12 years (OR: 1.17,95% CI 1.02 to 1.34, p=0.02), ApoB (OR: 1.15, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.24, p<0.001) and weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass (OR: 0.22, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.49, p<0.001) were associated with normal-weight obesity independently of trunk/leg fat ratio, high-sensitivity C reactive protein and apolipoprotein A1. CONCLUSIONS Normal-weight obesity may be associated with early childhood growth, lower skeletal muscle mass and higher serum ApoB in young Japanese women through mechanisms unrelated to abdominal adiposity, inflammation and insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adipose insulin-resistant but normal weight phenotype has not been reported and hence was characterized in young Japanese women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Body composition, a broad range of cardiometabolic health and dietary intake were cross-sectionally measured in 166 normal weight young Japanese women. They were grouped into tertile of adipose tissue-insulin resistance (AT-IR) index (fasting insulin×free fatty acids) and analyzed by analysis of variance and then Bonferroni's multiple comparison procedure. RESULTS Body mass index averaged <21 kg/m2 and waist <72 cm, and did not differ among three groups of women. Fasting glucose and triglycerides and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance were higher in the highest compared with the median and lowest AT-IR tertile. However, there was no difference in fat mass and distribution, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) and resting pulse rate were higher as well. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, fasting glucose (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.18, p=0.012), fasting triglycerides (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.06, p<0.001), resting pulse rate (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.11, p<0.001) and hsCRP (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.01 to 5.2, p=0.04) were associated with the high AT-IR tertile. CONCLUSIONS Adipose insulin-resistant but normal weight phenotype may be associated with increased sympathetic nervous system and low-grade systemic inflammation in addition to glucose and lipid dysmetabolism through mechanisms unrelated to adiposity in young Japanese women.

Abstract
Evidence regarding the possible influence of nutritional status on the facial morphology has thus far been insufficient. We examined whether or not the physical body compositions and dietary behaviors were correlated with any morphological characteristics of the face. One hundred and fifteen young Japanese women participated. Variables representing the dietary behaviors were extracted from self-reported survey data, and corresponding three-dimensional (3D) facial images and body compositions were examined. Multivariate analyses identified significant relationships between the nutritional status and facial topography (p < 0.05). The clustering method revealed the existence of three dietary condition patterns ("balanced diet", "high-calorie-diet" with obesity tendency, and "imbalanced low-calorie-diet" with sarcopenic obesity tendency). Among these three patterns, a round face (increased facial width; analysis of variance [ANOVA], p < 0.05) was observed in the high-calorie-diet pattern, while the imbalanced low-calorie-diet pattern showed a more masculine face (increased face height, decreased eye height, increased non-allometric sexual shape differences; ANOVA, p < 0.05), thus suggesting the possibility of sex-hormonal influences. In summary, the body composition and dietary behaviors were found to influence the facial morphology, and potential biological influences were discussed.

Abstract
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has adversely affected social contact and physical activity. This study investigated the correlation between physical activity, social contact, and sedentary time among adults aged 65 years and above during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This study was conducted in N City, H Prefecture, Japan. The authors randomly selected 4,996 adults, aged 65 years and above (mean age 74.1 ± 6.1 years), living in N City, and survey forms were distributed by mail in mid-August 2020. Altogether, 1,925 participants were included in this study. The survey comprised questions concerning the participants’ sex, height, weight, age, smoking and drinking habits, living arrangements, social contact assessments, physical activity levels, and sedentary time. Moreover, linear regression analysis was utilized to investigate the associations between the variables. Results The reported median physical activity was 1272 metabolic equivalent of task-min/week (interquartile range 528–2628), and the reported median sedentary time was 360 min/week (interquartile range 240–600). COVID-19 “somewhat,” “quite a lot,” or “completely” hindered the frequency of in-person contact with friends among 75.5% of the respondents and hampered the frequency of virtual contact with friends among 38.8% of the respondents. Physical activity was associated significantly with in-person contact indicators: “interaction with friends” (B = -0.111; 95%CI: -0.187, -0.035; p = 0.004) and “social participation” (B = -0.163; 95%CI: -0.248, -0.079; p < 0.001). These associations remained significant for both multivariate analysis Models 1 (sex and age) and 2 (addition of body mass index [BMI], alcohol use, smoking, living alone, and the number of illnesses to Model 1). Additionally, sedentary time was significantly associated with the social contact variable of “interaction with friends” (B = 0.04; 95%CI: 0.016, 0.064; p = 0.001). This association remained significant in both multivariate analysis models. Conclusions Significant associations were confirmed between reduced social contact, decreased physical activity, and more sedentary behavior among older adults due to COVID-19. Hence, continuous monitoring and support for social activities among susceptible older adults in extraordinary circumstances are essential.

Abstract
Background: We assessed the association of infant feeding with body composition and cardiometabolic health at 20 years in a setting where infant feeding is not associated with socioeconomic status. Materials and methods: Body size trajectory since birth, current body composition measured using whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and a broad range of cardiometabolic risk factors were compared cross-sectionally among young female university students who were ever breastfed (n = 158, 120 exclusively, and 38 mainly), mixed fed (n = 124), and formula fed (n = 15, 10 mainly, and 5 exclusively) Results: Compared with breastfed and mixed fed women, formula fed women had higher serum total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol although fat mass, fat distribution, fasting glucose, and insulin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not differ. In addition, resting heart rates were higher in formula fed women compared with the other two groups of women although systolic and diastolic blood pressure did not differ. Further, formula fed women had higher adiponectin while serum leptin did not differ. There was no difference in birthweight, weight and height in childhood and adolescence, and glucose tolerance. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, formula feeding was associated with resting heart rates (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06, confidence interval [95% CI]; 1.01–1.12, p = 0.01) and adiponectin (OR: 1.3, 95% CI; 1.1–1.5, p < 0.001) independently of serum total and LDL cholesterol. Conclusions: Breastfeeding may be associated with favorable lipid profile and autonomic nervous function in young adults through mechanisms unrelated to adiposity, implicating potential long-term benefits of breastfeeding for cardiovascular health. Higher adiponectin in nonbreastfed women warrants further studies.

Abstract
Introduction: We studied weight trajectory since birth and dietary intake in Japanese female students majoring in nutrition sciences. Materials and Methods: Birth weight, adolescent height and weight, current body composition by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, dietary intake, glucose tolerance, lipid profile, and adipokines were cross-sectionally compared between young underweight (body mass index [BMI] <18.5) and normal-weight (BMI ≥18.5 and <25.0) women with overweight (BMI ≥25.0) women as an internal reference. Results: Serum adiponectin (leptin) was the highest (lowest) in 42 underweight women, intermediate levels in 251 normal-weight women, and the lowest (highest) levels in 14 overweight women. Compared with normal-weight women, underweight women had lower weight at birth, at age 12, 15, and 20 years, but comparable height, and hence lower BMI at three time points. Underweight women had higher gluteofemoral fat adjusted for total body fat and weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass, although absolute and height-adjusted fat mass and skeletal muscle mass were lower. Glucose tolerance assessed by oral glucose testing, serum triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not differ between the two groups. Daily intake expressed per kg of body mass of energy and protein was the highest in underweight women, intermediate levels in normal-weight women, and the lowest levels in overweight women. Conclusions: Some young Japanese women are underweight not because of a strong drive for thinness, but because they were born lighter and remained lean until young adults. Underweight was associated with higher gluteofemoral fat adjusted for total body fat and relative skeletal muscle mass.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adipose tissue (AT) expandability may be facilitated by adiponectin and suppressed by orosomucoid, and reduced AT expandability may be associated with first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that orosomucoid may be associated not only with adiponectin and adipose tissue insulin resistance but also with a family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD). Research Design and Methods. Anthropometric and metabolic variables, adipokines, and measures of inflammatory and insulin resistance were cross-sectionally investigated in 153 young normal weight Japanese women. Stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify the most important determinants of orosomucoid. RESULTS Orosomucoid was higher in women with positive (n = 57) compared to women with negative FHD and was associated positively with FHD (both p = 0.01). Orosomucoid also showed positive associations with fasting glucose (p < 0.001), free fatty acids (p = 0.001), and HbA1c (p = 0.007), whereas there was no association with fasting insulin and serum lipids. In addition, orosomucoid was associated inversely with adiponectin (p = 0.02) and positively with adipose tissue-insulin resistance index (AT-IR, the product of fasting insulin and free fatty acids; p = 0.001) but not with homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, leptin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. In multivariate analyses, AT-IR (standardized β, 0.22; p = 0.003), serum adiponectin (standardized β, -0.163; p = 0.032), FHD+ (standardized β, 0.178; p = 0.029), and HbA1c (standardized β, 0.213; p = 0.005) emerged as independent determinants of orosomucoid and explained 15.2% of its variability. CONCLUSIONS These results are the first to demonstrate that orosomucoid is associated not only with adipose tissue-insulin resistance and adiponectin but also with FHD.

Abstract
Objective: We examined whether elevated blood pressure (BP) (≥120/80 mmHg) was associated with several anthropometric, metabolic, and clinical variables, including the family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD) and low birth weight, in young normal weight Japanese women. Methods: BP, body composition, and fasting glucose, insulin, lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, and adipokines were measured in 332 young Japanese women. They received a questionnaire on birth weight and FHD. Results: The prevalence of low birth weight was 2.4% and that of positive FHD was 22.9%. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance averaged <1.5 and did not differ cross-sectionally between 32 women with elevated BP and 300 women with normal BP although mean body mass index was higher in the former than in the latter (21.7 ± 2.9 kg/m2 vs. 20.8 ± 2.2 kg/m2, P = 0.02). Women with elevated BP had higher fat mass index (P = 0.02) and trunk fat percentage (P = 0.04). They had lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 (both P = 0.01) while fasting triglycerides and apolipoprotein B did not differ. In addition, they had higher plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (P = 0.001). Furthermore, the prevalence of low birth weight (9.4% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.03) and positive FHD (40.6% vs. 20.0%, P = 0.01) was higher in women with elevated BP. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that elevated BP was independently associated with PAI-1 [odds ratio (OR); 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.08, P = 0.001], low birth weight (OR: 12.3, 95% CI: 2.3-67.3, P = 0.04), and FHD (OR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.3-7.9, P = 0.01). Conclusion: Elevated BP was associated with positive FHD, low birth weight, and elevated serum PAI-1 in young normal weight Japanese women.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the relationship between social activities and frailty during the restriction on outings due to COVID-19. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting and Subjects This study was conducted in City Nishinomiya of Prefecture Hyogo, in Japan. A mail survey was carried out among women aged 65 years or older in May 2020. A population of 293 women aged 65 years or older living in the community was recruited for the study and 213 of them were analyzed. Measurements The survey included questions on sex, age, height, weight, and social activity. Social activity consisted of participation in social organizations and their frequency, as well as frequency of interaction with family and friends. The survey also asked if regular social activity had been impeded by COVID-19. Results A significant association was found between frailty and hindered interaction with friends (β: 0.176, p = .014). Multivariate linear regression analysis confirmed that this association was also significant in Model 1 (β: 0.158, p = .025), and Model 2 (β: 0.148, p = .034). Conclusions No association between being hindered in social activity and frailty was found in older women living in the community during the restriction on outings due to COVID-19.

Abstract
Objective Studies are limited on the association between serum transthyretin (TTR), a negative acute phase reactant, and triglyceride (TG). Research design and methods TG, TTR, and insulin resistance-related cardiometabolic variables were measured in 159 fasting and 185 nonfasting community-dwelling elderly women aged 50-96 years. Pearson correlation analysis and then stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed to further identify the most significant variables contributing to the variation of fasting and nonfasting TG. Results Multiple regression analysis for fasting TG as a dependent variable revealed that TTR (standardized β: 0.299) and HDL cholesterol (standardized β: -0.545) emerged as determinants of TG independently of percentage of body fat, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance, serum leptin and adiponectin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (R 2 = 0.36). For nonfasting TG, HDL cholesterol (standardized β: - 0.461), TTR (standardized β: 0.231), nonfasting insulin, a marker of insulin resistance, (standardized β: 0.202), and PAI-1 (standardized β: 0.187) emerged as determinants independently of percentage of body fat, nonfasting glucose, serum leptin and adiponectin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (R 2 = 0.45). Conclusions Fasting and nonfasting TG showed positive association with TTR in community-dwelling elderly non-obese women independently of insulin resistance, HDL cholesterol, and adiponectin. These findings may provide a clue as to a physiological function of circulating TTR in human: an influence factor of TG-rich lipoproteins in the circulation.

Abstract
Objective This study investigated the relationship between diet and frailty in community-dwelling older adults during the period of restriction on outings due to COVID-19. A population of 322 women aged 65 years or older living in the community was recruited for the study, of whom 253 were analyzed. Method A mail survey was carried out in May 2020, targeting adults aged 65 years or older. The survey included questions regarding sex, age, height, weight, and social participation. Dietary variety score and frailty score were also calculated. Results Mean age for the 253 participants was 80.0±6.4 years. Dietary variety score and frailty score were significantly correlated under linear regression analysis (β :-0.224, P < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, these factors remained significantly correlated in Model 2 , which was adjusted for age (β :-0.229, P < 0.001), and Model 3, which was adjusted for age, BMI, and other confounding factors (β :-0.208, P = 0.001). Conclusion Diet was correlated with frailty in older adults living in the community during the period of restriction on outings due to COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although roles of ABC (HbA1c, blood pressure [BP] and LDL-cholesterol) goal attainment on CVD risk outcomes have been well established, it is less studied whether ABC goal attainment associates with ABC variability, non-traditional risk factors. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Intrapersonal mean levels and standard deviation (SD) of HbA1c, BP and LDL-cholesterol, fasting and post-breakfast plasma glucose (PG) and serum triglyceride (TG) during 12 months were calculated in 168 type 2 diabetes patients (aged 62.3 years, 53.6% men). Associations of ABC goal attainment with non-traditional glycemic, BP and lipid risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS Among 168 patients, 92 (54.8%), 91 (54.2%) and 111 (66.1%) patients achieved HbA1C, BP and cholesterol goal, respectively, and 47 (28.0 %), 45 (26.8 %), 63 (37.5 %) and 13 (7.7 %) achieved triplegoal, dual-goal, single-goal and no-goal, respectively. Achieving more ABC goals was associated with stepwise decreases in mean levels and SD of fasting and post-breakfast PG, and HbA1c. It was also associated with stepwise decreases in mean levels and SD of fasting and post-breakfast TG, and LDL-cholesterol. Further, achieving more ABC goals was associated with stepwise decreases in brachial pulse pressure and mean levels and SD of systolic BP. CONCLUSIONS ABC goal achievement was associated with a broad range of non-traditional glycemic, BP and lipid risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients. Reaching more ABC treatment targets may be important for reductions in long-term ABC variability and postprandial dysmetabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the influences of living arrangements on the association between dietary variety and frailty by gender in community-dwelling older people. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Nishinomiya city, Hyogo prefecture, Japan. PARTICIPANTS A total of 4,996 randomly selected community-dwelling older people aged 65 years and older and living in Nishinomiya City. MEASUREMENTS Survey questionnaires were distributed via mail. The frailty score was evaluated by the 5-item frailty screening index. Dietary variety was assessed using the dietary variety score developed for the general older Japanese population. RESULTS A total of 2,764 community-dwelling participants aged ≥ 65 years responded to the questionnaires. After excluding missing data, 1,780 participants were included in the study analysis. The frailty scores in older men living alone were significantly higher than those in older men living with someone (P < 0.001). The dietary variety scores in older men living alone were significantly lower than those in older men living with someone (P < 0.001). However, differences in the frailty and dietary variety scores between living alone and living with someone were not were observed in older women (P = 0.360 and P = 0.265, respectively). In the multivariable regression analysis, the associations between dietary variety score and frailty score in living alone (β= -0. 271, P = 0.011) were stronger than those in living with someone in the case of older men (β= -0.131, P = 0.045). Similar associations between dietary variety and frailty were presented in older women living alone than in those living with someone (β -0.114, P = 0.002; β -0.088, P = 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Older men who live alone had higher frailty score and lower dietary variety. The associations between dietary variety and frailty were different according to living arrangements in both older men and older women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Circulating orosomucoid, an acute-phase protein, predicted type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in several Western countries. Here, we assessed serum orosomucoid (ORM) in relation to prediabetes in the Japanese. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants consisted of 83 middle-aged Japanese subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), 37 with prediabetes and 4 with newly identified diabetes, whose homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) averaged 1.1±0.7, 1.4±0.9 and 1.7±0.8, respectively. Body composition, serum inflammatory markers, adiponectin, β-cell function and insulin resistance inferred from serum insulin kinetics during an oral glucose tolerance test were compared cross-sectionally between those with prediabetes and NGT. RESULTS Serum orosomucoid, but not high-sensitivity C reactive protein, was elevated in prediabetes (190±29 vs 141±31 mg/dL) with further elevation in diabetes (295±52 mg/dL) (all p<0.001). Prediabetes was associated with lower Oral Disposition Index (the product of the Insulinogenic Index and Matsuda Index) with further depression in diabetes. No association was found with skeletal muscle mass, HOMA-IR, serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS Higher circulating ORM and reduced glucose induced insulin secretion were found in middle-aged Japanese people with prediabetes in the absence of insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Determinants and correlates of a novel index of adipose tissue insulin resistance (AT-IR) (the product of fasting insulin and free fatty acid concentrations) were investigated in Japanese women without diabetes and obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional associations of AT-IR with fat mass and distribution, and IR-related cardiometabolic variables were examined in 210 young and 148 middle-aged women whose average body mass index (BMI) was <23 kg/m2 and waist was <80 cm. Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify most important determinants of AT-IR. RESULTS Young and middle-aged women did not differ in AT-IR (3.5±2.7 and 3.2±2.1, respectively). In both young and middle-aged women, AT-IR was positively associated with trunk/leg fat ratio, a sophisticated measure of abdominal fat accumulation, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting triglycerides (FTG), serum alanine aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase (all p<0.05). Furthermore, in middle-aged but not in young women, AT-IR showed positive associations with BMI, waist, fat mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) (all p<0.05). AT-IR showed no association with hemoglobin A1c, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 in two groups of women. On multivariate analysis including waist, FPG, FTG, HDL cholesterol and systolic BP as independent variables, FPG, FTG and HDL cholesterol emerged as independent determinants of AT-IR in young women (cumulative R2=0.141) and waist in middle-aged women (cumulative R2=0.056). In a model which included trunk/leg fat ratio instead of waist, trunk/leg fat ratio and systolic BP were determinants of AT-IR in middle-aged women (cumulative R2=0.093). Results did not alter in young women. CONCLUSIONS AT-IR may be a simple and useful surrogate index of adipose tissue insulin resistance even in populations without diabetes and obesity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess vascular function and characterize insulin secretion using a physiological approach in Japanese women with family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Standardized mixed-meal tests were performed with multiple postprandial glucose, insulin and free fatty acids (FFA) measurements over a 30-120 min period in 31 Japanese women aged 21-24 years. Arterial distensibility was assessed as well. RESULTS Fasting glucose, triglyceride and insulin averaged <90 mg/dL, <60 mg/dL and <5 μU/mL, respectively, and did not differ cross-sectionally between 10 with (FHD+) and 21 without FHD (FHD-). FHD+ showed higher insulin responses not only during the first 30 min (p=0.005) but also during the second hour (60-120 min, p<0,05) in spite of identical postprandial suppression of FFA and identical fasting and postprandial glucose and FFA concentrations, except for higher 60 min FFA in FHD+. Further, FHD+ had decreased arterial distensibility (p=0.003). On multivariate regression analysis, arterial distensibility emerged as the only significant independent predictor of FHD+. Endurance training in FHD+ did not alter decreased arterial distensibility whereas it abolished postprandial hyperinsulinemia. CONCLUSIONS FHD was associated with decreased arterial distensibility and postprandial hyperinsulinemia despite nearly identical postprandial glycemia and postprandial FFA suppression, suggesting that impaired vascular insulin sensitivity may precede glucose and lipid dysmetabolism in normal weight Japanese women aged 22 years.

Abstract
Objective We examined whether serum orosomucoid, an acute phase protein as with C-reactive protein, in addition to insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction, was involved in glucose disposal during oral glucose tolerance tests. Research design and methods 124 midlife Japanese (65 women, 66% with normal glucose tolerance) received dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and 75 g oral glucose tolerance tests with multiple postload glucose and insulin measurements. Subjects were divided based on the relationship between postload and fasting glucose. Obesity measures, insulin resistance, insulin secretion, serum orosomucoid and adiponectin were cross-sectionally analyzed by analysis of variance and then Bonferroni's multiple comparison procedure. Results In 10 subjects (group A) and 19 subjects (group B), postload glucose fell below fasting glucose at 1 h and 2 h, respectively. In the remaining 95 subjects (group C), postload glucose never fell below fasting glucose. The insulinogenic index was lower and area under the glucose curve was higher in groups B and C as compared to group A (both p<0.05), whereas the Matsuda index, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, adipose insulin resistance (the product of fasting free fatty acid and insulin) and area under the insulin curve did not differ. Although there was no difference in fat mass index, trunk/leg fat ratio and adiponectin, orosomucoid was higher in group C as compared to group A (p<0.05). Conclusions Lower early-phase insulin secretion and low-grade inflammation were associated with slower glucose disposal during an oral glucose tolerance test in midlife Japanese. The rate of glucose disposal was not related to adiposity and insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We tested the hypothesis that family history of type 2 diabetes (FHD) is associated with reduced birth weight and reduced insulin secretion later in life. MATERIALS AND METHODS Birth weight, body composition by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance were compared between Japanese women aged 20 years with positive (n = 73) and negative (n = 258) FHD. A subsample of 153 women (57 with positive FHD) underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the most important determinants of FHD. RESULTS Women with positive as compared with negative FHD had lower birth weight (3132 ± 364 vs. 3238 ± 418 g, p = 0.04). However, the current fat mass index and trunk/leg fat ratio, sophisticated measures of general and abdominal fat accumulation, respectively, did not differ. Women with positive FHD had a lower insulinogenic index (2.4 ± 7.3 vs. 6.2 ± 16, p = 0.007) and higher area under the glucose curve (217 ± 47 vs. 198 ± 36 mg/dL/2 h, p = 0.006). However, fasting and postload insulinemia, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, and Matsuda index did not differ. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, birth weight was marginally associated with FHD (odds ratio, 0.999; 95% confidential interval, 0.98-1.00000; p = 0.0509). CONCLUSIONS FHD was associated not only with reduced birth weight but also with decreased early-phase insulin secretion and increased postload glucose concentrations in Japanese women aged 20 years. These findings may be in keeping with the fetal insulin hypothesis and provide some evidence that FHD can alter size at birth, probably through genetic and shared environmental components, which consequently resulted in decreased early-phase insulin secretion and increased glucose excursion in the early twenties. FHD was not related to sophisticated measures of general and abdominal adiposity and insulin resistance/sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated cross-sectional and prospective associations of ABC (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) goal attainment with chronic kidney disease. Cross-sectional association with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was evaluated as well. METHODS Prevalence of low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30 mg/g) were assessed at baseline and after a median follow-up of 6.0 years in 168 patients with type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function (aged 62.3 years, 53.6% men). Carotid IMT was measured at baseline only. RESULTS At baseline, 47 (28.0%), 45 (26.8%), 63 (37.5%) and 13 (7.7%) patients achieved triple-goal, dual-goal, single-goal and no-goal, respectively. Achieving more ABC targets was associated with lower log ACR (P < 0.01), lower percentage of albuminuria (P = 0.02), and lower carotid IMT (P < 0.01) at baseline. Over 6.0 years, eGFR decreased from 76 ± 16 to 67 ± 18 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.01) whereas ACR levels did not change. There were 32 patients with incident reduced eGFR, eight with GFR stage progression, 15 with progression of albuminuric stages and five with doubling of ACR within the microalbuminuric range. Achieving more ABC targets decreased the percentage of deterioration of GFR stages (30.8%, 28.6%, 24.4% and 14.9%, respectively, P = 0.01). Achieving two or more (8.9% and 8.5%, respectively) compared with one or less ABC targets (15.4% and 15.9%, respectively) was associated with less deterioration of albuminuria (P < 0.001). Although achieving more ABC targets was associated with lower annual decline in eGFR, the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS ABC goal achievement has shown cross-sectional and prospective associations with deterioration of chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetic patients with preserved kidney function. Cross-sectional association with carotid IMT has been demonstrated as well. Reaching more ABC treatment targets may be important for preventing adverse renal outcomes.

Abstract
Background Adiponectin serum levels are affected by sex, ethnicities, adiposity, age and several pathological conditions such as anemia. The prevalence of hyperadiponectinemia (≥ 20 mg/L) in relation to anemia (hemoglobin < 12 g/dL) was examined in normal-weight Japanese women. Methods Serum adiponectin and blood hemoglobin were measured in 311 young women aged 18 - 24 years (A), 148 of their middle-aged mothers aged 39 - 60 years (B) and 322 community-dwelling women aged ≥ 65 years (C) with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 20.4, 22.0 and 22.4 kg/m2, respectively. Elderly women were subdivided into three age groups: between 65 and 74 years (n = 95, X), between 75 and 84 years (n = 176, Y) and older than 85 years (n = 51, Z). Results The prevalence of hyperadiponectinemia (A: 3.9%, B: 3.4%, C: 22.7%, P < 0.001) was low and serum adiponectin (A: 11.5 ± 4.3 mg/L, B: 11.8 ± 4.9 mg/L, C: 15.3 ± 7.8 mg/L, P < 0.001) did not change until middle-aged but increased thereafter in a stepwise fashion (X: 18.9%, Y: 22.7%, Z: 35.3%, P = 0.07 and X: 13.9 ± 6.9 mg/L, Y: 15.1 ± 7.7 mg/L, Z: 18.7 ± 8.6 mg/L, P = 0.001, respectively). There were inverse associations of adiponectin with age (r = -0.201, P < 0.001) and hemoglobin (r = -0.318, P < 0.001) in elderly women but not even in young and middle-aged women combined. Furthermore, anemia was associated with higher prevalence of hyperadiponectinemia (34.8% vs. 20.6%, P = 0.01) and higher serum adiponectin (18.3 ± 9.4 mg/L vs. 14.5 ± 7.1 mg/L, P < 0.001) in elderly women but not in younger and middle-aged women. Conclusions In normal-weight Japanese women, the prevalence of hyperadiponectinemia and serum adiponectin were increased and associated with anemia at 65 years of age and older.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether serum adiponectin and orosomucoid were associated with postload glucose ≤70 mg/dL during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), termed as postload low glycemia, a possible inverse marker for dysglycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 75 g OGTTs were performed with multiple postload glucose and insulin measurements over a 30-120 min period in 168 normal-weight Japanese women (18-24 years). Insulin resistance (IR) and β-cell function inferred from serum insulin kinetics during OGTT, fat mass and distribution by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), serum adiponectin and inflammatory markers were compared cross-sectionally between 39 women with and 129 women without postload low glycemia. RESULTS Of 168 women, 161 had normal glucose tolerance. Women with as compared with those without postload low glycemia had lower fasting and postload glycemia despite similar fasting and postload insulinemia. They had higher insulinogenic index (p=0.03) and lower adipose IR (a product of fasting free fatty acid and insulin, p=0.01), although DXA-derived general and central adiposity, the Matsuda Index and homeostasis model assessment-IR did not differ. In addition, they had higher adiponectin and lower orosomucoid (both p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that adiponectin (OR: 1.14, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.26, p=0.009) and orosomucoid (0.96, 0.93 to 0.97, p=0.008) were associated with postload low glycemia independently of adipose IR and insulinogenic index. CONCLUSIONS Higher adiponectin and lower orosomucoid were associated with 70 or lower mg/dL of postload glucose, a possible inverse marker for dysglycemia, in young women independently of DXA-derived fat mass and distribution, insulin secretion and IR.

Abstract
Background To assess the relationship of the shape of glucose concentration curve during a standardized meal test to serum free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations, insulin resistance and insulin secretion in young non-obese women. Methods Thirty-five young women had a standardized meal for breakfast with measurement of glucose, insulin and FFA concentrations at 0 (fasting), 30, 60 and 120 min; the areas under the concentration curves were calculated (AUCg, AUCi and AUCffa, respectively). Meal-induced insulin response (MIR) was calculated as the ratio between the incremental insulin and glucose concentrations during the first 30 min of meal tests. In two women (group A), post-breakfast glucose (PBG) returned to levels below fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at 30 min; in 15 and 11 women, PBG returned to levels below FPG at 60 and 120 min (groups B and C, respectively). In the remaining seven women (group D), PBG never fell below FPG. Results Despite no difference in fasting insulin and AUCi, fasting FFA, AUCg and AUCffa were the lowest in group A, increased linearly from group B to C and plateaued in group D, whereas MIR might be the highest in group A, decreased from group B to C and plateaued in group D. Conclusion Young women whose PBG returned to FPG more slowly had higher muscle insulin resistance and lower MIR associated with higher fasting and postprandial FFA levels compared with young women whose PBG returned to baseline more quickly.

Abstract
Prior research has indicated that as an important biomarker of chronic low-grade inflammation, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) can play important roles on the onset of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We conducted an integrative approach, which combines biological wet-lab experiments, statistical analysis, and semantics-oriented bioinformatics & computational analysis, to investigate the association among hs-CRP, body fat mass (FM) distribution, and other cardiometabolic risk factors in young healthy women. Research outcomes in this study resulted in two novel discoveries. Discovery 1: There are four primary determinants for hs-CRP, i.e., central/abdominal FM (a.k.a. trunk FM) accumulation, leptin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and plasminogen activator inhibitior-1 (PAI-1). Discovery 2: Chronic inflammation may involve in adipocyte-cytokine interaction underlying the metabolic derangement in healthy young women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether postprandial lipemia is associated with fat distribution even in young, normal weight women independently of fat mass, adipokines, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Female college students (ages 21-24, n=35) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and a standardized breakfast providing 17 g triglycerides (TG). Serum lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, adipokines and markers of insulin resistance and inflammation were measured in fasting blood samples. RESULTS In crude analyses, postprandial lipemia, as assessed by 0-2 h area under the curve of serum TG (TG-AUC), was positively associated with fasting TG, trunk/leg fat ratio, apolipoprotein B, leptin/adiponectin ratio and log high-sensitivity CRP. Multiple linear regression analysis with these 5 variables as independent variables revealed that fasting TG (p<0.001) and trunk/ leg fat ratio (p=0.001), were independent positive predictors of TG-AUC (R2=0.923). Women with high compared to low TG-AUC were characterized by higher trunk/leg fat ratio, elevated apolipoprotein B and leptin/adiponectin ratio. CONCLUSION Trunk/leg fat ratio, a marker of central adiposity, is a significant predictor of postprandial lipemia even in young women who are normal weight and insulin- sensitive, suggesting a modifiable pathway to postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, a cardiometabolic risk factor. These findings should be confirmed in studies employing more participants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if adiponectin levels are associated with low grip strength among the elderly independently of insulin resistance and inflammation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional associations were analyzed by logistic regression between low grip strength and body composition, elevated serum adiponectin (≥20 mg/L), and biomarkers of nutritious stasis, insulin resistance and inflammation in 179 community-living Japanese women. Sarcopenia was evaluated using the Asian criteria. RESULTS No women had sarcopenia. In bivariate analyses, low grip strength (n=68) was positively associated with age, log tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and hyperadiponectinemia (n=37) and inversely with body weight, height, skeletal muscle mass, serum albumin, transthyretin (TTR), fat mass, serum zinc and hemoglobin (all p<0.01). In a fully adjusted model, TTR (0.90: 0.83-0.98, p=0.01) in addition to age (p=0.007), height (p=0.004) and skeletal muscle mass (p=0.008) emerged as independent determinants of low grip strength. When TTR was removed from the full model, TNF-α was associated with low grip strength (7.7; 1.3-45.8, p=0.02). Mean waist circumference and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not differ between women with and without low grip strength and were within the respective normal range. Women with hyperadiponectinemia had higher percentage of women with low grip strength and lower grip strength (both p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Hyperadiponectinemia and elevated TNF-α in addition to decreased TTR, a biomarker of age-related catabolic states, were found in community-living Japanese elderly women with low grip strength and preserved muscle mass and insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess whether the gender-specific pattern of fat mass (FM) distribution is related to gender differences in cardiometabolic risk factors. 207 healthy middle-aged Japanese were included in the study. We measured FM in the total body, trunk, and lower-body with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The percentage of trunk FM (TFM) and lower-body FM (LFM) is noted as %TFM and %LFM, respectively. Other measurements included glucose and insulin during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), leptin, adiponectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and systemic oxidative stress marker. Arterial properties were indicated by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery. The results showed that %TFM is higher whereas %LFM is lower in men than in women and men have a more atherogenic cardiometabolic profile. In both genders, %TFM (%LFM) is related to an unfavorable (favorable) cardiometabolic profile. In particular, the relation between %LFM and OGTT-derived insulin sensitivity index is stronger in women than in men. These findings suggested that in relatively healthy adults, android and gynoid pattern of FM distribution contributes to gender differences in cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between economic security and self-rated health for elderly Japanese residents living alone. DESIGN A secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study. SETTING N City, H. Prefecture, Japan. PARTICIPANTS Survey questionnaires were distributed to 2,985 elderly residents living alone, aged ≥70 years, of which, 1,939 (65.0%) were returned and treated as valid responses. MEASUREMENTS The survey included questions about gender, age, number of years spent in N City, self-rated health, economic security, number of years spent living alone, reason for living alone, life satisfaction, cooking frequency, frequency of seeing a doctor, long-term care service usage, as well as whether they enjoyed their lives, participated in social organizations. RESULTS Of the respondents, 1,563 (80.6%) reported that they were economically secure, and 376 (19.4%) responded that they were insecure. The odds ratio predicting poor self-rated health for the economically insecure participants was significantly high (odds ratio: 3.19, 95%, Confidence Interval (CI): 2.53-4.02, and P < 0.001). Similarly, the adjusted odds ratio for poor self-rated health was significantly high for the economically insecure participants in multivariate analyses controlling for factors such as age, gender, cooking frequency, and social participation (adjusted odds ratio: 2.21, 95%, CI: 1.70-2.88, and P < 0.001). Furthermore, a similar trend was observed in stratified analyses based on gender and age groups. CONCLUSION Economic security predicted self-rated health independently of confounders, including social participation and cooking frequency, among the elderly Japanese living alone in communities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We test the hypothesis that aspartate aminotransferase (AST) may be associated inversely with serum triglycerides (TG) and positively with high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in young athletes because athletes have larger amounts of muscle mass. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated between serum AST and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and body composition identified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, markers of insulin resistance, serum lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, adiponectin and leptin in 174 female collegiate athletes (18-22 years). Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify independent determinants of the aminotransferases. RESULTS AST and ALT showed positive correlation with appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and height-adjusted ASM. In addition, ALT as well as AST showed inverse, not positive, association with fasting TG. Further, both AST and ALT showed positive associations with HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI, a major apolipoprotein of HDL particles. Multivariate analysis revealed that height-adjusted ASM and TG (inverse) were independent determinants for AST and ALT. Further, fat mass index (inverse) and resting heart rate (inverse) predicted AST and apolipoprotein AI predicted ALT. CONCLUSIONS In young female collegiate athletes, both serum AST and ALT showed inverse association with fasting TG and positive association with apoAI, both of which may be mediated through positive association between the aminotransferases and ASM. The association between ALT and TG is opposite in direction in young athletes (inverse) and in the general population (positive).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammatory markers are elevated in insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes. We tested whether serum orosomucoid (ORM) is associated with postload glucose, β-cell dysfunction and IR inferred from plasma insulin kinetics during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 75 g OGTTs were performed with multiple postload glucose and insulin measurements over a 30-120 min period in 168 non-obese Japanese women (aged 18-24 years). OGTT responses, serum adiponectin and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) were cross-sectionally analyzed by analysis of variance and then Bonferroni's multiple comparison procedure. Stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify most important determinants of ORM. RESULTS Of 168 women, 161 had normal glucose tolerance. Postload glucose levels and the area under the glucose curve (AUCg) increased in a stepwise fashion from the first through the third ORM tertile. In contrast, there was no or modest, if any, association with fat mass index, trunk/leg fat ratio, adiponectin, hsCRP, postload insulinemia, the Matsuda index and homeostasis model assessment IR. In multivariable models, which incorporated the insulinogenic index, the Matsuda index and HOMA-IR, 30 min glucose (standardized β: 0.517) and AUCg (standardized β: 0.495) explained 92.8% of ORM variations. CONCLUSIONS Elevated circulating orosomucoid was associated with elevated 30 min glucose and glucose excursion in non-obese young Japanese women independently of adiposity, IR, insulin secretion, adiponectin and other investigated markers of inflammation. Although further research is needed, these results may suggest a clue to identify novel pathways that may have utility in monitoring dysglycemia within normal glucose tolerance.

Abstract
Background As association of metabolic syndrome (MS) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been extensively studied in patients with type 2 diabetes, we addressed these issues. Methods Intrapersonal means of 12 measurements of waist circumference, blood pressure and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and those of six measurements of fasting triglycerides during 12 months were calculated in a cohort of 168 previously reported Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Based on these means, MS was diagnosed according to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria with the Asian definition of abdominal obesity. CKD was defined as the presence of low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), albuminuria (urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30 mg/g) or both. Results Of 168 patients, 77 patients (46 %) had MS and 67 (40 %) had CKD. As the number of MS components increased from 1 through 5, the prevalence of albuminuria (9%, 38%, 30%, 41%, and 50%, P < 0.001), low eGFR (0%, 10%, 24%, 22%, and 50%, P < 0.001) and consequently, CKD increased (9%, 41%, 48%, 52%, and 75%, P < 0.001). Urinary ACR increased and eGFR decreased as a function of the number of MS components. As compared to patients without MS, prevalence of low eGFR (26% vs. 7%, P = 0.001) and CKD (52% vs. 30%, P = 0.005) was higher in patients with MS but prevalence of albuminuria did not differ (36% vs. 27%, P = 0.2). Conclusion In Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, the cluster of abnormalities related to MS was associated not only with higher prevalence of albuminuria, reduced kidney function and hence the increase in CKD but also with corresponding changes in urinary ACR and eGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-breakfast/post-challenge plasma glucose (PG) concentrations were studied less in young normal weight Japanese women. We addressed these issues. METHODS Two separate groups of female collegiate athletes and female untrained students underwent either a standardized meal test or a standard 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, but not both. Frequency of women whose post-breakfast/post-load PG fell to 70 mg/dL or lower (termed as low glycemia) was compared between athletes and non-athletes, who also underwent measurements of serum adipokines, markers of insulin resistance and inflammation and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity/resistance and serum adipokines were compared between women with and without post-breakfast low glycemia. The same comparison was done between women whose post-breakfast PG returned to levels below the fasting PG and women whose post-breakfast PG never fell below the fasting PG. RESULTS There was no difference between athletes and non-athletes in frequency of post-breakfast low glycemia (47% (8/17) and 44% (8/18)) and post-challenge low glycemia (24% (12/50) and 23% (27/118)). As compared to seven women whose post-breakfast PG never fell below the fasting PG, 28 women whose post-breakfast PG returned to levels below the fasting PG had higher meal-induced insulin responses (283 ± 366 vs. 89 ± 36 µU/mg, P = 0.014). However, two groups did not differ in body composition, markers of insulin resistance and serum adiponectin. No significant difference was also observed in any of these variables between women with and without post-breakfast low glycemia. CONCLUSION Post-prandial PG ≤ 70 mg/dL is not uncommon in young normal weight Japanese women and may not be a pathological condition. The underlying mechanisms for this finding need further exploration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effects of endurance training on adipose insulin sensitivity in association with body composition, circulating adipokines, and markers of inflammation have been studied less in young Asian subjects. METHODS Adipose insulin sensitivity/resistance was compared between 170 female Japanese collegiate athletes and 311 nonathletes (18-24 years), who underwent measurements of serum adipokines, markers of insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Two separate subsamples of two groups of women underwent either a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test or a standardized meal test, but not both. RESULTS As compared with nonathletes, athletes, characterized by higher skeletal muscle mass and lower percentage of body fat (both P < 0.001), had lower adipose insulin resistance (IR) (a product of fasting insulin and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) and lower leptin/adiponectin ratio (both P < 0.001). Although athletes had lower postmeal/postglucose insulinemia (P = 0.009 and 0.01, respectively), the two groups did not differ in postmeal percentage NEFA suppression and postmeal/postglucose glycemia, suggesting increased insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, respectively. Serum leptin (P < 0.001) and tumor necrosis factor-α (P = 0.01) were lower in athletes, whereas adiponectin and homeostasis model assessment IR did not differ. CONCLUSIONS Endurance training was associated with increased insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue as well as skeletal muscle without changes in circulating adiponectin even in young, normal-weight Japanese women.

Abstract
Background Studies demonstrated that visit-to-visit variability in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in subjects with coronary artery disease. Whether visit-to-visit variability in LDLC levels affects subclinical atherosclerosis is unknown. This study sought to evaluate the role of visit-to-visit variability in LDLC levels on subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods We evaluated 162 type 2 diabetic patients with measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Intrapersonal mean and standard deviation (SD) of six measurements of LDLC during 12 months were calculated. Multivariate linear regressions assessed the independent correlates of carotid IMT. Results The mean and SD of LDLC were 112 ± 22 and 15 ± 10 mg/dL, respectively, and 43.2% of patients were on hypolipidemic drugs. Age (standardized β = 0.355, P < 0.001), male sex (standardized β = 0.234, P = 0.002) and SD-LDLC (standardized β = 0.201, P = 0.009) emerged as independent determinants of carotid maximum IMT independently of mean LDLC levels, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, duration and treatment of diabetes, means and SDs of glycemic and other lipid variables, and uses of hypolipidemic and anti-hypertensive medications (R2 = 0.15). Results did not change when mean IMT was used instead of maximum IMT. After controlling for age and sex, maximum IMT was thicker in patients with the highest compared to those with other three quartiles of SD-LDLC combined (1.14 ± 0.04 (SE) vs. 1.01 ± 0.02 mm, P = 0.01). Independent determinants of SD-LDLC were mean LDLC, use of hypolipidemic drugs, fasting triglyceride and visit-to-visit variability in HbA1c. Conclusions Consistency of LDLC levels may be important to subclinical atherosclerosis in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes. It may be important for patients on lipid-lowering drugs to prevent non-compliance.

Abstract
Background Associations of whole blood viscosity (WBV) with metabolic syndrome (MS) have not been extensively studied in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Intrapersonal means of 12 measurements of waist circumference, blood pressure (BP) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and those of six measurements of fasting and post-breakfast triglycerides (TG) during 12 months were calculated in a cohort of 168 patients with type 2 diabetes. Based on these means, MS was diagnosed according to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria with the Asian definition of abdominal obesity. WBV was calculated from hematocrit and total serum protein concentrations by a validated formula. Results Diabetes patients with MS (n = 77) had higher WBV as compared to those without MS (6.38 ± 0.06 vs. 6.10 ± 0.07 cP, P = 0.004). As the number of MS components increased, WBV increased (component number 1: 6.12 ± 0.10, 2: 6.09 ± 0.10, 3: 6.37 ± 0.08, 4: 6.42 ± 0.10, 5: 6.30 ± 0.15 cP, P for trends = 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that male gender, diastolic BP and post-breakfast TG were determinants of WBV independent of fasting TG, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (R2 = 0.258). Conclusions Both the presence of MS and the number of MS components were associated with higher WBV in patients with type 2 diabetes. Physicians need to perform a close follow-up of type 2 diabetes patients with MS on inhibitors of sodium-glucose co-transporters 2, which may increase stroke risk associated with an increase in hematocrit and therefore blood viscosity. Post-breakfast TG was an independent determinant of WBV. Elevated WBV may represent an important confounder of the relationship between MS, postprandial hyperlipidemia and elevated cardiovascular risk in this population.
