Impact of dental health intervention on cardiovascular metabolic risk: a pilot study of Japanese adults. J Hum Hypertens 2024; 38:500-509. [PMID: 34006984 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-021-00551-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether a dental health education program would reduce cardiometabolic risk (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) in people with periodontitis. We used annual check-up data provided by the Japanese company's health insurance union. Of 182 male employees with cardiometabolic risk and periodontal pockets at baseline, 21 participants of the dental health education program and 21 non-participants matched for age, the presence of obesity, and periodontal pocket at baseline were allocated to the intervention (mean age, 53.3 ± 7.0) and the non-intervention groups (mean age, 52.9 ± 7.0), respectively. The program focused on self-removal of dental plaque with a toothbrush and interdental brush and comprised five sessions over 12 months. In the intervention group, waist circumference (cm) and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) decreased from 88.4 ± 6.3 to 86.8 ± 6.3 and from 85.7 ± 8.2 to 82.6 ± 8.3, respectively (P < 0.05). Intergroup comparison showed significant improvement of systolic blood pressure (mmHg) in the intervention group (-3.7 ± 12.5) compared with the non-intervention group (4.0 ± 15.9) (P < 0.05) with no significant differences in the other parameters. The intervention group had a decrease in plaque accumulation and periodontitis symptoms, such as the depth of periodontal pocket and the presence of periodontal pocket and bleeding on probing, but an increase in the frequency of interdental brushing and duration of tooth brushing. Our findings show that dental self-care may improve blood pressure in people with cardiometabolic risk factors and periodontitis.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE To compare the demographics, perioperative variables, and complication rates following cervical disk replacement (CDR) among patients with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The prevalence of MetS-involving concurrent obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia-has increased in the United States over the last 2 decades. Little is known about the impact of MetS on early postoperative outcomes and complications following CDR. METHODS The 2005-2020 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for patients who underwent primary 1- or 2-level CDR. Patients with and without MetS were divided into 2 cohorts. MetS was defined, according to other National Surgical Quality Improvement Program studies, as concurrent diabetes mellitus, hypertension requiring medication, and body mass index ≥30 kg/m 2 . Rates of 30-day readmission, reoperation, complications, length of hospital stay, and discharge disposition were compared using χ 2 and Fisher exact tests. One to 2 propensity-matching was performed, matching for demographics, comorbidities, and number of operative levels. RESULTS A total of 5395 patients were included for unmatched analysis. Two hundred thirty-six had MetS, and 5159 did not. The MetS cohort had greater rates of 30-day readmission (2.5% vs. 0.9%; P =0.023), morbidity (2.5% vs. 0.9%; P =0.032), nonhome discharges (3% vs. 0.6%; P =0.002), and longer hospital stays (1.35±4.04 vs. 1±1.48 days; P =0.029). After propensity-matching, 699 patients were included. All differences reported above lost significance ( P >0.05) except for 30-day morbidity (superficial wound infections), which remained higher for the MetS cohort (2.5% vs. 0.4%, P =0.02). CONCLUSIONS We identified MetS as an independent predictor of 30-day morbidity in the form of superficial wound infections following single-level CDR. Although MetS patients experienced greater rates of 30-day readmission, nonhome discharge, and longer lengths of stay, MetS did not independently predict these outcomes after controlling for baseline differences in patient characteristics. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressed people are susceptible to metabolic syndrome ression and metabolic syndrome in the Rafsanjan Youth Cohort Study in 2021. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the data of 3005 young people aged 15-35 under the coverage of urban and rural health centers was investigated in the enrollment stage of the Rafsanjan Youth Cohort Study as a part of the prospective epidemiological research studies in IrAN (PERSIAN). Data was collected using face-to-face interview and electronic questionnaires of the Rafsanjan Youth Cohort Study. RESULTS Age of the youth was 25.78 ± 6.06 years, 56 % (n = 1682) were female. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was 7.7 % (95 % CI: 6.8 %-8.8 %) and the prevalence of depression was 11.1 % (95 % CI: 10.0 %-12.3 %). Depression did not have a significant impact on the odds ratio of developing MetS in young people (P = 0.604). The odds ratio (OR) of MetS increases by 1.057 times with increasing age (95 % CI for OR: 1.020-1.094). This OR is also 1.715 times higher in married young people than in unmarried Youth (95 % CI for OR: 1.715-2.692) and 0.196 times lower in young people with medium and high MET index than in young people with low MET index (95 % CI for OR: 0.048-0.811). LIMITATIONS Inability to determine a causal relationship between MetS and depression. CONCLUSION Due to the growing trend of components of MetS among the young population, this issue needs to be addressed in future policies and planning for prevention and control as a health priority.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is a group of metabolic abnormalities that increase predisposition to several diseases including ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The study aimed to investigate metabolic syndrome among patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and its impact on pharmacotherapy outcomes. Methods An observational cross-sectional study was performed on 910 patients with type-2 DM between June and December 2023. Fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), blood pressure, and abdominal obesity were measured. Metabolic syndrome was identified according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Pharmacotherapy outcomes were assessed according to American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American Diabetes Association guidelines using the ability to achieve adequate glycemic control and normal levels of blood pressure and fasting plasma lipoproteins. Results In total, 87.5% of type-2 DM patients had metabolic syndrome; the prevalence increased with age and was higher among females. Metabolic syndrome showed the following distribution of risk factors: insulin resistance (100%), low HDL (95.3%), elevated blood pressure (83%), triglycerides dyslipidemia (80.1%), and abdominal obesity (62.5%). Majority of the patients had either 5 or 4 risk factors of metabolic syndrome. The most common comorbidities were dyslipidemia (97.7%) and hypertension (83%). Treatment outcomes were insufficient where adequate glycemic control was only achieved in 12% of type-2 DM patients, and proper management of comorbid dyslipidemia and hypertension was achieved in 29% and 40.9% of patients, respectively. Adequate blood pressure control was less achieved in patients with metabolic syndrome (34.4%) than those without metabolic syndrome (77.2%). Similarly, dyslipidemia was less controlled in patients with metabolic syndrome (26.9%) than in those without metabolic syndrome (47.3%). Conclusion Pharmacotherapy outcomes were inadequate for most patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Adopting early preventive and therapeutic interventions for metabolic syndrome is advised to improve treatment outcomes of the comorbid dyslipidemia and hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiometabolic disorders pose significant health risks globally. Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a cluster of potentially reversible metabolic abnormalities, is a known risk factor for these disorders. Early detection and intervention for individuals with metabolic abnormalities can help mitigate the risk of developing more serious cardiometabolic conditions. This study aimed to develop an image-derived phenotype (IDP) for metabolic abnormality from unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans using deep learning. We used this IDP to classify individuals with metabolic syndrome and predict future occurrence of cardiometabolic disorders. METHODS A multi-stage deep learning approach was used to extract the IDP from the liver region of unenhanced abdominal CT scans. In a cohort of over 2,000 individuals the IDP was used to classify individuals with metabolic syndrome. In a subset of over 1,300 individuals, the IDP was used to predict future occurrence of hypertension, type II diabetes, and fatty liver disease. RESULTS For metabolic syndrome (MetS) classification, we compared the performance of the proposed IDP to liver attenuation and visceral adipose tissue area (VAT). The proposed IDP showed the strongest performance (AUC 0.82) compared to attenuation (AUC 0.70) and VAT (AUC 0.80). For disease prediction, we compared the performance of the IDP to baseline MetS diagnosis. The models including the IDP outperformed MetS for type II diabetes (AUCs 0.91 and 0.90) and fatty liver disease (AUCs 0.67 and 0.62) prediction and performed comparably for hypertension prediction (AUCs of 0.77). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the superior performance of a deep learning IDP compared to traditional radiomic features to classify individuals with metabolic syndrome. Additionally, the IDP outperformed the clinical definition of metabolic syndrome in predicting future morbidities. Our findings underscore the utility of data-driven imaging phenotypes as valuable tools in the assessment and management of metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic disorders.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease is a chronic disease that predominantly affects the elderly and is the most common cause of cardiovascular death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is closely related to processes such as abnormal lipid transport and metabolism, impaired endothelial function, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a key component of complex Ⅰ in the electron transport chain and an important endogenous antioxidant that may play a role in decelerating the progression of atherosclerosis. Here, the different forms of CoQ10 presence in the electron transport chain are reviewed, as well as its physiological role in regulating processes such as oxidative stress, inflammatory response, lipid metabolism and cellular autophagy. It was also found that CoQ10 plays beneficial effects in atherosclerosis by mitigating lipid transportation, endothelial inflammation, metabolic abnormalities, and thrombotic processes from the perspectives of molecular mechanisms, animal experiments, and clinical evidence. Besides, the combined use of CoQ10 with other drugs has better synergistic therapeutic effects. It seems reasonable to suggest that CoQ10 could be used in the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases while more basic and clinical studies are needed.

Associations between hysterectomy and metabolic syndrome: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2024:S0002-9378(24)00561-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is linked to an increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Notable associations exist between hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and metabolic syndrome. However, there is emerging evidence that even with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy may be independently associated with long-term cardiovascular disease risk. OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between hysterectomy with ovarian preservation and metabolic syndrome risk in a multiethnic cohort. STUDY DESIGN We studied 3367 female participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who had data on self-reported history of hysterectomy, oophorectomy, hystero-oophorectomy, and metabolic syndrome at baseline (2000-2002). We used adjusted logistic regression to assess the cross-sectional associations between hysterectomy and or oophorectomy subgroups and prevalent metabolic syndrome at baseline. Furthermore, we investigated 1355 participants free of baseline metabolic syndrome and used adjusted Cox regression models to evaluate incident metabolic syndrome from examinations 2 (2002-2004) to 6 (2016-2018). RESULTS The mean age was 59.0±9.5 years, with 42% White, 27% Black, 19% Hispanic, and 13% Chinese American participants. 29% and 22% had a history of hysterectomy and oophorectomy, respectively. Over a median follow-up of 10.5 (3.01-17.62) years, there were 750 metabolic syndrome events. Hysterectomy (hazard ratio, 1.32 [95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.73]) and hystero-oophorectomy (hazard ratio, 1.40 [95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.74]) were both associated with incident metabolic syndrome compared with having neither hysterectomy nor oophorectomy. CONCLUSION Hysterectomy, even with ovarian preservation, may be independently associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome. If other studies confirm these findings, screening and preventive strategies focused on females with ovary-sparing hysterectomies and the mechanisms underpinning these associations may be explored.

Abstract
Sex-based differences in the development of obesity-induced cardiometabolic dysfunction are well documented, however, the specific mechanisms are not completely understood. Obesity has been linked to dysregulation of the epitranscriptome, but the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation has not been investigated in relation to the sex differences during obesity-induced cardiac dysfunction. In the current study, male and female C57BL/6J mice were subjected to short- and long-term high-fat/high-sucrose (HFHS) diet to induce obesogenic stress. Cardiac echocardiography showed males developed systolic and diastolic dysfunction after 4 mo of diet, but females maintained normal cardiac function despite both sexes being metabolically dysfunctional. Cardiac m6A machinery gene expression was differentially regulated by duration of HFHS diet in male, but not female mice, and left ventricular ejection fraction correlated with RNA machinery gene levels in a sex- and age-dependent manner. RNA-sequencing of cardiac transcriptome revealed that females, but not males may undergo protective cardiac remodeling early in the course of obesogenic stress. Taken together, our study demonstrates for the first time that cardiac RNA methylation machinery genes are regulated early during obesogenic stress in a sex-dependent manner and may play a role in the sex differences observed in cardiometabolic dysfunction.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Sex differences in obesity-associated cardiomyopathy are well documented but incompletely understood. We show for the first time that RNA methylation machinery genes may be regulated in response to obesogenic diet in a sex- and age-dependent manner and levels may correspond to cardiac systolic function. Our cardiac RNA-seq analysis suggests female, but not male mice may be protected from cardiac dysfunction by a protective cardiac remodeling response early during obesogenic stress.

Ethnic differences in metabolic syndrome in high-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Rev Endocr Metab Disord 2024:10.1007/s11154-024-09879-9. [PMID: 38598068 DOI: 10.1007/s11154-024-09879-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
This review aimed to systematically quantify the differences in Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) prevalence across various ethnic groups in high-income countries by sex, and to evaluate the overall prevalence trends from 1996 to 2022. We conducted a systematic literature review using MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library, focusing on studies about MetS prevalence among ethnic groups in high-income countries. We pooled 23 studies that used NCEP-ATP III criteria and included 147,756 healthy participants aged 18 and above. We calculated pooled prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using both fixed-effect and random-effect intercept logistic regression models. Data were analysed for 3 periods: 1996-2005, 2006-2009, and 2010-2021. The pooled prevalence of MetS in high-income countries, based on the NCEP-ATP III criteria, was 27.4% over the studied period, showing an increase from 24.2% in 1996-2005 to 31.9% in 2010-2021, with men and women having similar rates. When stratified by ethnicity and sex, ethnic minority women experienced the highest prevalence at 31.7%, while ethnic majority women had the lowest at 22.7%. Notably, MetS was more prevalent in ethnic minority women than men. Among ethnic minorities, women had a higher prevalence of MetS than men, and the difference was highest in Asians (about 15 percentage points). Among women, the prevalence of MetS was highest in Asians (41.2%) and lowest in Blacks/Africans (26.7%). Among men, it was highest in indigenous minority groups (34.3%) and lowest among in Blacks/Africans (19.8%). MetS is increasing at an alarming rate in high-income countries, particularly among ethnic minority women. The burden of MetS could be effectively reduced by tailoring interventions according to ethnic variations and risk profiles.

Abstract
Obesity poses a significant threat to various health conditions such as heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart attack, with the gut microbiota playing a crucial role in maintaining the body's energy balance. We identified a novel probiotic fungal strain, Kluyveromyces lactis JSA 18 (K. lactis), which was isolated from yak milk and was found to possess anti-obesity properties. Additionally, Lactobacillus plantarum CGMCC 8198 (LP8198) from our previous study was also included to evaluate its anti-obesity properties. The findings indicated that K. lactis caused a notable reduction in weight gain, liver and fat indexes, and hyperlipidemia in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Administering K. lactis and LP8198 to mice on a high-fat diet resulted in a reduction of serum triglyceride levels. Furthermore, the supplements reduced ALT and AST activity, and inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β. In addition, lipid metabolism was enhanced by the downregulation of ACC1, PPAR-γ, SREBP-1, and Fasn. Moreover, this study found that K. lactis and LP8198 have little effect on gut bacteria. Additionally, K. lactis partially influenced intestinal fungi, while LP8198 had a minor influence on gut mycobiota. The main goal of this research was to show how effective K. lactis can be as a probiotic in combating obesity.

Dietary Supplementation of Myo-Inositol, Cocoa Polyphenols, and Soy Isoflavones Improves Vasomotor Symptoms and Metabolic Profile in Menopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome: A Retrospective Clinical Study. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:598.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Hormonal changes physiologically occurring in menopausal women may increase the risk of developing metabolic and vasomotor disturbances, which contribute to increase the risk of developing other concomitant pathologies, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials and Methods: Retrospective data from 200 menopausal women with MetS and vasomotor symptoms taking one sachet per day of the dietary supplement INOFOLIC® NRT (Farmares srl, Rome, Italy) were collected. Each sachet consisted of myo-Inositol (2000 mg), cocoa polyphenols (30 mg), and soy isoflavones (80 mg, of which 50 mg is genistin). Patients recorded their symptoms through a medical questionnaire at the beginning of the administration (T0) and after 6 months (T1). Results: We observed an improvement in both the frequency and the severity of hot flushes: increased percentage of 2-3 hot flushes (28 at T0 vs. 65% at T1, p value < 0.001) and decreased percentage of 4-9 hot flushes (54% at T0 vs. 18% at T1, p value < 0.001). Moreover, symptoms of depression improved after supplementation (87% at T0 vs. 56% at T1 of patients reported moderate depression symptoms, p value < 0.001). Regarding metabolic profile, women improved body mass index and waist circumference with a reduction in the percentage of overweight and obesity women (88% at T0 vs. 51% at T1, p value = 0.01; 14% at T0 vs. 9% at T1, p value = 0.04). In addition, the number of women suffering from non-insulin dependent diabetes reduced (26% at T0 vs. 16% at T1, p value = 0.04). Conclusions: These data corroborate previously observed beneficial effects of the oral administration of myo-Inositol, cocoa polyphenols, and soy isoflavones against menopausal symptoms in the study population. Considering the promising results of the present study, further prospective controlled clinical trials are needed to deeply understand and support the efficacy of these natural compounds for the management of menopausal symptoms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We present the rationale and design of a double-blind placebo-controlled feasibility trial combining intranasal insulin (INI) with semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, to improve cognition in older adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Since both INI and dulaglutide have beneficial effects on the cerebrovascular disease (CVD), we anticipate that improved CVD will underlie the hypothesized cognitive benefits. METHODS This 12-months trial will include 80 older adults aged > 60 with MetS and MCI, randomized to 4 groups: INI/oral semaglutide, intranasal placebo/oral semaglutide, INI/oral placebo, and intranasal placebo/oral placebo. Feasibility of combining INI with semaglutide will be tested by examining the ease of use of INI (20IU, twice/day) with semaglutide (14 once daily), adherence, and safety profile are the efficacy of combination therapy on global cognition and neurobiological markers: cerebral blood flow, cerebral glucose utilization, white matter hyperintensities, Alzheimer's related blood biomarkers and expression of insulin signaling proteins measured in brain-derived exosomes. Efficacy will be assessed for the intent-to-treat sample. DISCUSSION This feasibility study is anticipated to provide the basis for a multi-center large-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) of the cognitive benefits of the combination of INI with semaglutide in individuals enriched for CVD and at high dementia risk.

Abstract
Diabetic macroangiopathy, a prevalent and severe complication of diabetes mellitus, significantly contributes to the increased morbidity and mortality rates among affected individuals. This complex disorder involves multifaceted molecular mechanisms that lead to the dysfunction and damage of large blood vessels, including atherosclerosis (AS) and peripheral arterial disease. Understanding the intricate pathways underlying the development and progression of diabetic macroangiopathy is crucial for the development of effective therapeutic interventions. This review aims to shed light on the molecular mechanism implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy. We delve into the intricate interplay of chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and dysregulated angiogenesis, all of which contribute to the vascular complications observed in this disorder. By exploring the molecular mechanism involved in the disease we provide insight into potential therapeutic targets and strategies. Moreover, we discuss the current therapeutic approaches used for treating diabetic macroangiopathy, including glycemic control, lipid-lowering agents, and vascular interventions.

Abstract
Introduction Hip fractures are a common injury associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the United States, there has been a rapid increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), a condition comprised several common comorbidities, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, that may worsen perioperative outcomes. This article assesses the impact of MetS and its components on outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Methods Patients who underwent nonelective operative treatment for traumatic hip fractures were identified in the 2015-2020 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Baseline characteristics between groups were compared, and significant differences were included as covariates. Multivariate regression was performed to assess the impact of characteristics of interest on postoperative outcomes. Patients with MetS, or a single one of its constitutive components-hypertension, diabetes, and obesity-were compared with metabolically healthy cohorts. Results In total 95,338 patients were included. Patients with MetS had increased complications (OR 1.509; P < 0.001), but reduced mortality (OR 0.71; P < 0.001). Obesity alone was also associated with increased complications (OR 1.14; P < 0.001) and reduced mortality (OR 0.736; P < 0.001). Both hypertension and diabetes alone increased complications (P < 0.001) but had no impact on mortality. Patients with MetS did, however, have greater odds of adverse discharge (OR 1.516; P < 0.001), extended hospital stays (OR 1.18; P < 0.001), and reoperation (OR 1.297; P = 0.003), but no significant difference in readmission rate. Conclusion Patients with MetS had increased complications but decreased mortality. Our component-based analysis showed had obesity had a similar effect: increased complications but lower mortality. These results may help surgeons preoperatively counsel patients with hip fracture about their postoperative risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Defecation dysfunction may contribute to chronic constipation (CC), but the impact of obesity on anorectal physiology in CC remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between obesity and anorectal function on physiologic testing in patients presenting with CC. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of consecutive adults who underwent high resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) at a tertiary center for CC. Patient demographics, clinical history, surgical/obstetric history, medications, and HRAM results were reviewed. Patients were classified into obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) vs non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m2) groups at the time of HRAM. Fisher-exact/student t-test for univariate analyses and general linear regression for multivariable analysis were performed. RESULTS 383 adults (mean 50.3 years; 85.8% female) with CC were included. On HRAM, patients with obesity had lower anal sphincter resting tone (37.3 vs 48.5 mmHg, p = 0.005) and maximum squeeze pressure (104.8 mmHg vs 120.0 mmHg, p = 0.043). No significant differences in dyssynergia (61% vs 53%, p = 0.294) and failed balloon expulsion (18% vs 25%, p = 0.381) were found between obese and non-obese groups. On balloon distention testing, the maximum tolerated (163.5 vs 147.6 mL, p = 0.042) and urge sensation (113.9 vs 103.7 mL, p = 0.048) volumes were significantly increased among patients with obesity. After adjusting for potential confounders, obesity remained independently associated with increased maximum tolerated volume (β-coefficient 13.7, p = 0.049). CONCLUSION Obesity was independently associated with altered rectal sensitivity among patients with CC. Altered rectal sensation may play an important role in CC among patients with obesity. Anorectal physiology testing should be considered to understand the pathophysiology and guide management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Metabolic syndrome (MetS) raises the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. An awareness of MetS is vital for early detection and proactive management, which can mitigate the risks associated with MetS. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the level of awareness of MetS among the Korean population. METHODS We conducted a nationwide survey between January and February 2023 among a representative sample of the Korean population using an online survey. Information regarding the awareness of MetS and its risk, the importance of lifestyle modification, and health behavior were collected. The question about the awareness of MetS was "How much do you think you know about MetS?" and there were five answers: 1) I know very well, 2) I know well, 3) I know a little, 4) I do not know, and 5) I have no idea. The high-awareness group was defined as those who answered that they knew very well or well. RESULTS Among 1,000 participants (mean age, 45.7 ± 13.2 yr), 29% were unaware of MetS, and only 20.8% had high awareness. The high-awareness group was significantly more knowledgeable about lifestyle modifications and demonstrated better health behaviors. After adjustment for possible confounding factors, younger age, low household income, and absence of comorbidity were independently associated with a lack of awareness regarding MetS. CONCLUSION The high-awareness group showed greater knowledge of the importance of lifestyle modifications and better health behaviors regarding MetS. The findings highlight the need for improved public education and awareness programs regarding MetS.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to conduct an analysis of longitudinal study to investigate the association of absolute grip strength, and relative grip strength with incidence of metabolic syndrome. Materials and Methods: Participants who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a chronic screening program conducted in Ahnseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, a primary survey conducted from 2013 to 2014 were selected. The presence of metabolic syndrome was classified using the standards of the International Diabetes Foundation following previous studies. Grip strength was measured using a JAMA 5030J1 (Saehan, Korea) and calculated the absolute grip strength and relative grip strength. To evaluate the relationship between the absolute grip strength, relative grip strength, and incidence of metabolic syndrome, independent hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for metabolic syndrome were calculated according to absolute and relative grip strength levels using a multivariate extended Cox regression model. Results: The incidence of metabolic syndrome was reduced by 38% (HR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.43-0.88) for the high absolute grip strength group, compared to the low absolute grip strength group. Also, this study confirmed that the incidence of metabolic syndrome for mid relative grip strength and high relative grip strength groups were reduced by 27% (HR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55-0.98) and 55% (HR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.32-0.64) respectively. Moreover, the incidence of metabolic syndrome was reduced by 45% (HR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.37-0.82) and 57% (HR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.29-0.65) for the low-level body mass index (BMI) group with high or low absolute grip strength, respectively. Finally, this study confirmed the association of sex, absolute grip strength, and relative grip strength according to age with incidence of metabolic syndrome was different. Conclusion: We observed that relative grip strength has a higher association with incidence of metabolic syndrome than absolute grip strength. Also, BMI has a higher association with metabolic syndrome than the absolute grip strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prenatal stress is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but its association with heart failure (HF) is unknown. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate whether prenatal stress, defined as maternal bereavement, was associated with HF risk up to middle-age. METHODS This cohort study included 6,758,560 live singleton births from the Danish (1973-2016) and the Swedish (1973-2014) Medical Birth Registers. The authors retrieved information on death of the mothers' close family members (partner, older children, parents, and siblings) and offspring's HF (up to 2016 in Denmark and 2020 in Sweden) from nationwide registers. They estimated HRs and 95% CIs for HF in the offspring according to maternal bereavement. RESULTS During up to 48 years of follow-up, 4,812 offspring (0.07%) had a diagnosis of HF. Maternal loss of any close family member was not associated with HF in the offspring (adjusted HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.88-1.23). However, the most severe forms of bereavement, ie, death of a partner or an older child (adjusted HR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.06-2.04) and unnatural death of a relative (adjusted HR: 2.77; 95% CI: 1.49-5.17), were associated with increased risks of HF. Congenital heart disease and preterm birth contributed substantially to the association of maternal loss of a partner or older child with HF risk in the offspring. CONCLUSIONS Maternal loss of a partner or older child and loss of a close relative caused by unnatural causes the year before or during pregnancy were associated with increased risk of HF in offspring.

Reduction of prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome with tirzepatide: a post hoc analysis from the SURPASS Clinical Trial Program. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:63. [PMID: 38341541 PMCID: PMC10859014 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02147-9] [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: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is characterized as the co-occurrence of interrelated cardiovascular risk factors, including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Once weekly tirzepatide is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. In the SURPASS clinical trial program for T2D, tirzepatide demonstrated greater improvements in glycemic control, body weight reduction and other cardiometabolic risk factors versus placebo, subcutaneous semaglutide 1 mg, insulin degludec, and insulin glargine. This post hoc analysis assessed the effect of tirzepatide use on the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome across SURPASS 1-5. METHODS Metabolic syndrome was defined as having ≥ 3 of 5 criteria according to the US National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III. Analyses were based on on-treatment data at the primary endpoint from patients adherent to treatment (taking ≥ 75% study drug). A logistic regression model with metabolic syndrome status as the response variable, metabolic syndrome status at the baseline visit as an adjustment, and randomized treatment as fixed explanatory effect was used. The effect of tirzepatide use on the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome by categorical weight loss, background medication and gender were assessed. RESULTS In SURPASS, the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome at baseline was 67-88% across treatment groups with reductions at the primary endpoint to 38-64% with tirzepatide versus 64-82% with comparators. Reductions in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome was significantly greater with all tirzepatide doses versus placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, insulin glargine, and insulin degludec (p < 0.001). Individual components of metabolic syndrome were also reduced to a greater extent with tirzepatide vs comparators. Greater reductions in body weight were associated with greater reductions in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome and its individual components. Background SGLT2i or sulfonylurea use or gender did not impact the change in prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS In this post hoc analysis, tirzepatide at all doses studied was associated with a greater reduction in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome compared to placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, insulin degludec, and insulin glargine. Although more evidence is needed, these data would support greater potential improvement in cardiovascular risk factor profile with tirzepatide treatment in people across the continuum of T2D.

Risk of incident chronic kidney disease in metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically unhealthy normal weight: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Obes Rev 2024; 25:e13656.

Abstract
Studies have reported inconsistent results about the risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). We designed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of developing CKD in people with MHO and metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW). We used a predefined search strategy to retrieve eligible studies from multiple databases up to June 20, 2022. Random-effects model meta-analyses were implied to estimate the overall hazard ratio (HR) of incident CKD in obesity phenotypes. Eight prospective cohort studies, including approximately 5 million participants with a median follow-up ranging between 3 and 14 years, were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to the metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), the mean differences in cardiometabolic and renal risk factors in MHO, MUNW, and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) were evaluated with overall HR of 1.42, 1.49, and 1.84, respectively. Compared to MHNW, the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were significantly lower, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), blood pressure, blood glucose, and triglycerides were higher in MHO and MUNW. In conclusion, MHO and MUNW are not benign conditions and pose a higher risk for incident CKD. Obesity, whether in the presence or absence of metabolic health, is a risk factor for CKD.

Evaluating the association between longitudinal exposure to a PFAS mixture and adolescent cardiometabolic risk in the HOME Study. Environ Epidemiol 2024; 8:e289. [PMID: 38343730 PMCID: PMC10852393 DOI: 10.1097/ee9.0000000000000289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) throughout gestation and childhood may impact cardiometabolic risk. Methods In 179 HOME Study participants (Cincinnati, OH; recruited 2003-2006), we used latent profile analysis to identify two distinct patterns of PFAS exposure from serum concentrations of four PFAS measured at birth and ages 3, 8, and 12 years. We assessed the homeostatic model of insulin resistance, triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio, systolic blood pressure, visceral fat, and hemoglobin A1c levels at age 12 years. We used multivariable linear regression to assess the association of membership in the longitudinal PFAS mixture exposure group with a summary measure of overall cardiometabolic risk and individual components. Results One PFAS exposure profile (n = 66, 39%) had higher geometric means of all PFAS across all visits than the other. Although adjusted associations were null in the full sample, child sex modified the association of longitudinal PFAS mixture exposure group with overall cardiometabolic risk, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio, systolic blood pressure, and visceral fat (interaction term P values: 0.02-0.08). Females in the higher exposure group had higher cardiometabolic risk scores (ß = 0.43; 95% CI = -0.08, 0.94), systolic blood pressures (ß = 0.6; 95% CI = 0.1, 1.1), and visceral fat (ß = 0.44; 95% CI = -0.13, 1.01); males had lower cardiometabolic risk scores (ß = -0.52; 95% CI = -1.06, -0.06), leptin-to-adiponectin ratios (ß = -0.7; 95% CI = -1.29, -0.1), systolic blood pressures (ß = -0.14; 95% CI = -0.7, 0.41), and visceral fat (ß = -0.52; 95% CI = -0.84, -0.19). Conclusions Exposure to this PFAS mixture throughout childhood may have sex-specific effects on adolescent cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract
AIMS The present study sought to analyze the effects of 6-month multicomponent training (MCT) combined with a 4-month detraining on metabolic syndrome (MetS) profile among older adults with decreased functional capacity. METHODS This quasi-experimental study included a total of 104 older adults (80.5 ± 6.0 years) and the sample was divided into a training (TRAIN, n = 55) or control group (CON). Harmonized definition was used to diagnose the MetS. Functional capacity, blood biochemical parameters, blood pressure, body composition and anthropometric measurements were assessed 3 times. Analysis of variance for repeated measures and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to check the differences within groups. RESULTS TRAIN decreased diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and total fat mass during training period, whereas CON did not show any significant changes. During detraining, TRAIN increased HDLC, systolic blood pressure (SBP), waist circumference (WC) and total fat mass; and decreased glucose and fat free mass, whereas CON increased the concentration of glucose and HDLC. From baseline to post-detraining assessment, CON increased the concentration of triglycerides and the WC, while TRAIN only increased the WC (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Exercise can be a key component in the treatment of the MetS, since MCT seems to be effective to decrease DBP and total fat mass. Nevertheless, 4-months of detraining could cause a drop of total fat mass, but no in DBP. To avoid reversibility of the benefits obtained, it could be beneficial to promote continuing exercise programs. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrial.gov identifier: NCT03831841.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a progressive pathophysiological state defined by a cluster of cardiometabolic traits. However, little is known about metabolites that may be predictors of MetS incidence or reversion. Our objective was to identify plasma metabolites associated with MetS incidence or MetS reversion. METHODS The study included 1468 participants without cardiovascular disease (CVD) but at high CVD risk at enrollment from two case-cohort studies nested within the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study with baseline metabolomics data. MetS was defined in accordance with the harmonized International Diabetes Federation and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute criteria, which include meeting 3 or more thresholds for waist circumference, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose. MetS incidence was defined by not having MetS at baseline but meeting the MetS criteria at a follow-up visit. MetS reversion was defined by MetS at baseline but not meeting MetS criteria at a follow-up visit. Plasma metabolome was profiled by LC-MS. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models and elastic net regularized regressions were used to assess the association of 385 annotated metabolites with MetS incidence and MetS reversion after adjusting for potential risk factors. RESULTS Of the 603 participants without baseline MetS, 298 developed MetS over the median 4.8-year follow-up. Of the 865 participants with baseline MetS, 285 experienced MetS reversion. A total of 103 and 88 individual metabolites were associated with MetS incidence and MetS reversion, respectively, after adjusting for confounders and false discovery rate correction. A metabolomic signature comprised of 77 metabolites was robustly associated with MetS incidence (HR: 1.56 (95 % CI: 1.33-1.83)), and a metabolomic signature of 83 metabolites associated with MetS reversion (HR: 1.44 (95 % CI: 1.25-1.67)), both p < 0.001. The MetS incidence and reversion signatures included several lipids (mainly glycerolipids and glycerophospholipids) and branched-chain amino acids. CONCLUSION We identified unique metabolomic signatures, primarily comprised of lipids (including glycolipids and glycerophospholipids) and branched-chain amino acids robustly associated with MetS incidence; and several amino acids and glycerophospholipids associated with MetS reversion. These signatures provide novel insights on potential distinct mechanisms underlying the conditions leading to the incidence or reversion of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) known as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has developed into a major source of health issue, especially for the elderly. In the present study, we investigated the association between continuous MetS (cMetS) score and its components with electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in the community-dwelling older adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study is derived from the second phase of BEH cohort study which is conducted on individuals aged over 60 years old. Standard 12-lead ECGs were recorded and coded by qualified physicians and continuous values of metabolic syndrome risk scores (cMetS) were measured. Data regarding socio-demographic, medical history, and lifestyle variables were collected by trained interviewers. The multinomial regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between cMetS and its components with ECG abnormalities in the included participants. RESULTS 2426 individuals (mean age ± standard deviation: 69.30 ± 6.33 years) were included in the final analysis. Overall, 22.5% of the participants showed ECG abnormalities. Among these, 8.0% (n = 139) of participants had minor and 14.6% (n = 354) had major ECG abnormalities. In the final models, cMetS (OR = 1.04), mean arterial pressure (MAP((OR = 1.01), and higher fasting blood glucose (FBG) (OR = 1.01) increased the risk of ECG abnormalities (p < 0.05). Also, cMetS (OR = 1.05) and MAP (OR = 1.02) were associated with an increased risk of major ECG abnormalities (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION MetS and MAP were significantly associated with ECG abnormalities. The results of the present study suggest that ECG screening in the older population with MetS could potentially help to detect those at the higher risk of CVDs.

Abstract
Clinical and basic studies have documented that both hyperglycemia and insulin-resistance/hyperinsulinemia not only constitute metabolic disorders contributing to cardiometabolic syndrome, but also predispose to diabetic vasculopathy, which refers to diabetes-mellitus-induced microvascular and macrovascular complications, including retinopathy, neuropathy, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease. The underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms include inappropriate activation of the renin angiotensin-aldosterone system, mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive oxidative stress, inflammation, dyslipidemia, and thrombosis. These abnormalities collectively promote metabolic disorders and further promote diabetic vasculopathy. Recent evidence has revealed that endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and the abnormal release of extracellular vesicles and their carried microRNAs also contribute to the development and progression of diabetic vasculopathy. Therefore, clinical control and treatment of diabetes mellitus, as well as the development of novel therapeutic strategies are crucial in preventing cardiometabolic syndrome and related diabetic vasculopathy. The present review focuses on the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in diabetic vasculopathy and related cardiovascular disease, highlighting epidemiology and clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and molecular mechanisms, as well as management strategies.

Abstract
Context There are no reported data from prospective long-term studies on the relation of androgen levels in young women with development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) before menopause. Objective We investigated associations of androgens and SHBG with incident MetS during 23 years of follow-up. Methods We included 366 White and 375 Black women ages 20 to 32 years participating in the CARDIA study and CARDIA Women's study, free of MetS at baseline examination (1987-1988), and premenopausal 23 years later. Androgens and SHBG were categorized into quartiles. MetS was defined according to the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 2009 Joint Scientific Statement. Cox proportional hazards models were used. Results By year 23, 30% of women developed MetS. Adjusting for baseline age, race, and education, hazard ratios (95% CI) of developing MetS were 1.46 (1.02-2.10) and 2.22 (1.53-3.21) for women in the highest vs lowest total testosterone (T) and free T quartile, respectively. The hazards of developing MetS were 47%, 59%, and 53% lower for women with SHBG in the second, third, and fourth quartiles (vs lowest quartile), respectively. Associations were attenuated for total T with further adjustments for smoking, physical activity, menstrual status, oral contraceptive/hormone (OCHM) use, insulin level, oligomenorrhea, and age at menarche, but remained statistically significant for free T and SHBG. Associations were similar for both Blacks and Whites, and OCHM nonusers, but not for OCHM users. Conclusion High androgenicity in young premenopausal women is associated with higher risk of future MetS, suggesting that early assessment of androgens may contribute to prevention.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia can lead to significant personal, social, and economic burdens. The diagnosis of sarcopenia heavily relies on the identification of Low Skeletal Muscle Mass (LSMM), which is an independent predictor of frailty, disability, and increased risk of death among seniors. Women have physiologically lower levels of skeletal muscle mass than men, and female sarcopenia appears to be more influenced by menopause. They also tend to have higher body fat levels than man, which increases the risk of sarcopenia obesity. On another front, it's also recognized that humans are largely prone to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, with global prevalence rates often surpassing 50%. Nevertheless, the interconnection between H. pylori infection and LSMM remains relatively unexplored. Hence, our study specifically targeted women as the research population and sought to explore several risk factors for LSMM. Additionally, we delved into the potential correlation between LSMM and H. pylori infection in women, hoping to gain insights into potential preventative measures or treatment options that may enhance the quality of life for women affected by sarcopenia. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among women aged over 18 years undergoing physical examination. We performed 13C-urea breath test (UBT) for diagnosis of H. pylori infection and Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for the assessment of LSMM. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations of H. pylori infection with LSMM. Results This study enrolled 1984 Chinese women who were undergoing health check-ups. A univariate logistic regression analysis did not reveal a direct correlation between H. pylori infection and LSMM among this female population (OR=1.149, 95% CI 0.904-1.459, p=0.257). Yet, upon dividing the participants into age-based subgroups, an evident link was observed between H. pylori infection and LSMM in women aged 40 or above (OR=1.381, 95%CI 1.032-1.848, p= 0.030). After adjusting for variables including Age, BMI, TP, ALK, Cre, this relationship remained statistically relevant (OR=1.514, 95%CI 1.085-2.113, p= 0.015). Conclusions Women who are over 40 years old and currently infected with H. pylori have an increased risk of developing LSMM. Therefore, timely treatment for H. pylori eradication is recommended for this group of women to reduce the occurrence of LSMM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is an important factor in the development of penile inflammation. We studied whether type 2 diabetes (DM), with/without hypertension and hyperlipidemia increased the risk of circumcision among men aged between 30 and 69 using a population-based dataset in Taiwan during a 5-year follow-up period. METHODS The research data in this study were obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database between 1997 and 2010. We identified 23,197 patients who had a new diagnosis of DM and randomly matched 115,985 subjects as controls. We observed whether circumcision was the treatment after a new DM diagnosis. The initial step involved analyzing the data using Poisson regression analysis. To address potential confounding factors, this study employed propensity score matching based on three variables. Additionally, a Cox regression with a Gamma frailty was utilized to compare outcomes between different groups. RESULTS Poisson regression analysis showed that DM (RR = 1.75, 95CI = 0.10 ~ 1.22), but not hypertension (RR = 1.14, 95CI=-0.44 ~ 0.70), hyperlipidemia (RR = 0.94, 95CI=-0.66 ~ 0.53), or age (RR = 0.83, 95CI=-0.43 ~ 0.62), had an impact on circumcision treatment. Cox regression with a frailty model found that DM was a risk factor associated with circumcision (HR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.74 ~ 3.06, p-value < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was noted between circumcision and hypertension (HR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.80 ~ 1.51), hyperlipidemia (HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.79 ~ 1.40), or age (HR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.99 ~ 1.02). CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes mellitus, but not hypertension, hyperlipidemia or age increases the risk of circumcision in men aged between 30 and 69 years.

Abstract
Canagliflozin (CANA) is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with blood glucose lowering effects. CANA also promotes kidney protection in patients with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as in normoglycemic patients with hypertension or heart failure. Clinical studies, although conduct in both sexes, do not report sex-dependent differences in T2DM treated with CANA. However, the impact of CANA in type 1 diabetes, as well in sex-dependent outcomes in such cohort needs further understanding. To analyze the effects of CANA in mice with combined hypertension and type 1 diabetes, diabetes was induced by STZ injection (5 days, 50mg/kg/day) in both male and female 8 weeks old genetic hypertensive mice (Lin), whereas the control (Lin) received 0.1M sodium citrate injections. 8 weeks after STZ. Mice were fed either regular or CANA-infused diet for 4 weeks. 8 weeks after STZ, hyperglycemia was present in both male and female mice. CANA reversed BG increase mice fed regular diet. Male LinSTZ mice had elevated water intake, urine output, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), kidney lesion score, and creatinine clearance compared to the Lin control group. Kidney injury was improved in male LinSTZ + CANA group in male mice. Water intake and urine output were not statistically significantly different in female LinSTZ compared to female LinSTZ+ CANA. Moreover, CANA did not improve kidney injury in female mice, showing no effect in creatinine clearance, lesion score and fibrosis when compared to LinSTZ fed regular diet. Here we show that Canagliflozin might exert different kidney protection effects in male compared to female mice with hypertension and type 1 diabetes. Sex-dimorphisms were previously found in the pathophysiology of diabetes induced by STZ. Therefore, we highlight the importance of in-depth investigation on sex-dependent effects of CANA, taking in consideration the unique characteristics of disease progression for each sex.

[PMID: 37965066 PMCID: PMC10641573 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2023.101571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Stress is a disturbance in homeostasis caused by psychological, physiological, or environmental factors. Prolonged reactions to chronic stress can be detrimental, resulting in various metabolic abnormalities, referred to as metabolic syndrome (MS). There is a reciprocal increased risk between MS and major depressive disorder. Recent studies established an association between inflammation and insulin signaling in type 2 diabetes mellitus with depression. In the present review, we discuss chronic low-grade inflammation, pathways of insulin resistance, and brain glucose metabolism in the context of neuroinflammation and depression. Specific attention is given to psychotropic drugs such as bupropion, mirtazapine, and nefazodone, anti-inflammatory drugs like Celecoxib (COX-2 inhibitor), Etanercept, adalimumab, IL-4Ra antagonist, Anti-IL- 17A antibody (Ixekizumab) and lifestyle modifications including exercise, dietary changes, and sleep hygiene. These therapeutic solutions offer potential in treating depression by targeting metabolic conditions like insulin resistance and inflammatory pathways. The article further explains the significance of a nutrition and antioxidants-rich diet, emphasizing the role of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, zinc, and polyphenols, to improve immunity and activate anti-inflammatory signaling pathways.

Efficacy of multidisciplinary interventions in preventing metabolic syndrome and improving body composition in prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 58:27-49. [PMID: 38057016 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise is known to reduce adverse side effects of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) on quality of life, bone health and fatigue for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary interventions on body composition and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in ADT-treated PCa patients. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted based on searches of EMBASE, MEDLINE, CENTRAL and Scopus databases from inception to March 2023. Participants included ADT-treated PCa patients who received multidisciplinary interventions including exercise, diet, nutrition, pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, or psychological/behavioural therapy. Primary outcomes were changes in body composition and MetS, with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a secondary outcome. After meta-analysis, results were reported in mean difference, 95% confidence interval and p-value, with forest plots. Additionally, we conducted subgroup analyses to compare the effect of different interventions. RESULTS Thirty-three articles met the eligibility criteria out of 1443 articles and 28 studies were included in meta-analysis. Of 33 studies, 17 included exercise-only interventions and 10 included exercise + diet/nutrition interventions, but no studies included diet/nutrition-only interventions. All studies employed multidisciplinary approaches in developing or delivering the interventions. Most studies (85%) had low-moderate risk of bias, thus providing good evidence to this review. Overall, interventions had a positive effect on body composition measures; lean mass (LM):0.82 kg (95% CI:0.47,1.17;p < 0.00001), body fat mass (BFM):-0.68 kg (95% CI:-1.12,-0.24;p = 0.002), fat-free mass:0.75 kg (95% CI:0.14,1.37;p = 0.02) and body fat percentage (BFP):-0.99% (95% CI:-1.29,-0.68;p < 0.00001), as well as on MetS; waist circumference:-1.95 cm (95% CI:-3.10,-0.79;p = 0.0009), systolic blood pressure:-3.43 mmHg (95% CI:-6.36,-0.50;p = 0.02) and diastolic blood pressure:-2.48 mmHg (95% CI:-4.19,-0.76;p = 0.005). Subgroup-analyses showed that a combined approach including exercise + diet/nutrition was most effective in improving BFP, WC, SBP and DBP whereas exercise was more effective in improving LM and BFM. CONCLUSIONS In ADT-treated PCa patients, multidisciplinary interventions, especially those combining exercise and diet/nutrition, can improve body composition and metabolic health.

Abstract
Importance Prenatal stress is associated with increased risks of several cardiovascular risk factors later in life. However, knowledge regarding the role of prenatal stress in the development of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke is very limited. Objective To examine prenatal stress, defined as maternal bereavement, and risks of IHD and stroke in the offspring. Design, Setting, and Participants A cohort study was conducted using data from Danish and Swedish registries. Live singleton births during calendar years 1973-2016 in Denmark (followed up until December 31, 2016) and during calendar years 1973-2014 in Sweden (followed up until December 31, 2021) were included in the analysis. Exposure Maternal loss of a close family member (partner, older children, parents, or siblings) the year before or during the pregnancy. Main Outcome and Measures Diagnoses of IHD and stroke. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for IHD and stroke in the offspring according to maternal bereavement. Results The study included 6 758 560 births (39.4% from Denmark; 51.4% boys). During the median follow-up of 24.6 (IQR, 13.9-35.1) years, 8664 offspring (0.1%) were diagnosed with IHD and 13 094 with stroke (0.2%). Overall, maternal bereavement the year before or during pregnancy was not associated with IHD (adjusted HR [AHR], 0.98; 95% CI, 0.85-1.13) or stroke (AHR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.94-1.16) in offspring. Similarly, no associations were observed when exposure was classified by the mother's relationship to the deceased individual, ie, loss of older child or partner (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.64-1.14 for IHD and 0.98; 95% CI, 0.77-1.25 for stroke) or loss of parent or sibling (HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.87-1.21 for IHD and 1.06; 95% CI, 0.94-1.19 for stroke). However, associations between loss in the third trimester and IHD (AHR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.06-2.13), and loss due to cardiovascular disease and stroke (AHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.03-1.44) were identified when exposure was classified by time of loss or the relative's cause of death. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this study provide little support for the hypothesis that prenatal stress is associated with risks of IHD and stroke in the first 5 decades of life. However, the association observed between stress in the third trimester and IHD warrants further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aim to evaluate the impact of MetS on the short-term postoperative outcomes of complex head and neck surgery patients. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort analysis of the 2005 to 2017 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. NSQIP database was queried for 30-day outcomes of patients undergoing complex head and neck surgeries, defined as laryngectomy or mucosal resection followed by free tissue transfer, similar to prior NSQIP studies. Patients with hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2 were defined as having MetS. Adverse events were defined as experiencing readmission, reoperation, surgical/medical complications, or mortality. RESULTS A total of 2764 patients (27.0% female) with a mean age of 62.0 ± 11.7 years were included. Patients with MetS (n = 108, 3.9%) were more likely to be female (P = .017) and have high ASA classification (P = .030). On univariate analysis, patients with MetS were more likely to require reoperation (25.9% vs 16.7%, P = .013) and experience medical complications (26.9% vs 15.4% P = .001) or any adverse events (61.1% vs 48.7%, P = .011) compared to patients without MetS. On multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for age, sex, race, ASA classification, and complex head and neck surgery type, MetS was an independent predictor of medical complications (odds ratio 2.34, 95% CI 1.28-4.27, P = .006). CONCLUSION Patients with MetS undergoing complex head and neck surgery are at increased risk of experiencing medical complications. Identifying patients with MetS can therefore aid surgeons in preoperative risk assessment and help improve postoperative management. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE N/A.

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

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at a heightened risk of living with multiple comorbidities. However, the comprehension of the multimorbidity characteristics of T2DM is still scarce. This study aims to illuminate T2DM's prevalent comorbidities and their interrelationships using network analysis. Using electronic medical records (EMRs) from 496,408 Chinese patients with T2DM, we constructed male and female global multimorbidity networks and age- and sex-specific networks. Employing diverse network metrics, we assessed the structural properties of these networks. Furthermore, we identified hub, root, and burst diseases within these networks while scrutinizing their temporal trends. Our findings uncover interconnected T2DM comorbidities manifesting as emergence in clusters or age-specific outbreaks and core diseases in each sex that necessitate timely detection and intervention. This data-driven methodology offers a comprehensive comprehension of T2DM's multimorbidity, providing hypotheses for clinical considerations in the prevention and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Obesity is a public health crisis, presenting a huge burden on health care and the economic system in both developed and developing countries. According to the WHO's latest report on obesity, 39% of adults of age 18 and above are obese, with an increase of 18% compared to the last few decades. Metabolic energy imbalance due to contemporary lifestyle, changes in gut microbiota, hormonal imbalance, inherent genetics, and epigenetics is a major contributory factor to this crisis. Multiple studies have shown that probiotics and their metabolites (postbiotics) supplementation have an effect on obesity-related effects in vitro, in vivo, and in human clinical investigations. Postbiotics such as the SCFAs suppress obesity by regulating metabolic hormones such as GLP-1, and PPY thus reducing feed intake and suppressing appetite. Furthermore, muramyl di-peptides, bacteriocins, and LPS have been tested against obesity and yielded promising results in both human and mice studies. These insights provide an overview of targetable pharmacological sites and explore new opportunities for the safer use of postbiotics against obesity in the future.

Abstract
CONTEXT Metabolic syndrome and elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels are associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. A reduced myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) has been found to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and hsCRP levels with impaired MEE. METHODS Myocardial MEE was assessed by a validated echocardiography-derived measure in 1975 nondiabetic and prediabetic individuals subdivided into 2 groups according to the presence of metabolic syndrome. RESULTS Individuals with metabolic syndrome exhibited increased stroke work and myocardial oxygen consumption estimated by rate pressure product, and a reduced MEE per gram of left ventricular mass (MEEi) compared with subjects without metabolic syndrome, after adjusting for age and sex. Myocardial MEEi progressively decreased in parallel with the increase in the number of metabolic syndrome components. In a multivariable regression analysis, both metabolic syndrome and hsCRP contributed to reduced myocardial MEEi independently of sex, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, fasting, and 2-hour postload glucose levels. When the study population was divided into 4 groups by the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome and by hsCRP levels above and below 3 mg/L, hsCRP levels ≥3 mg/L were associated with reduced myocardial MEEi both in subjects with metabolic syndrome and in those without the syndrome. CONCLUSION Nondiabetic and prediabetic individuals with metabolic syndrome exhibit increased stroke work and myocardial oxygen consumption, and an impaired MEEi, an established predictor of adverse cardiovascular events, and elevated hsCRP levels in combination with metabolic syndrome aggravate the myocardial MEEi impairment.

Abstract
Background: Public health measures necessary to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) impacted lifestyles and health practices. This multiyear cohort analysis of U.S. working-aged adults aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on metabolic syndrome and explores contributing factors. Methods: This longitudinal study (n = 19,543) evaluated year-to-year changes in metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic risk factors through employer-sponsored annual health assessment before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using logistic mixed-effects model. Results: From prepandemic to pandemic (2019 to 2020), prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased by 3.5% for men and 3.0% for women, across all ethnic groups. This change was mainly driven by increased fasting glucose (7.3%) and blood pressure (5.2%). The increased risk of metabolic syndrome was more likely to occur in individuals with an elevated body mass index (BMI) combined with insufficient sleep or physical activity. Conclusions: Cardiometabolic risk increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with before the pandemic in a working-aged adult population, more so for those with a high BMI, unhealthy sleep, and low physical activity practices. Given this observation, identification of risk and intervention (including lifestyle and medical) is increasingly necessary to reduce the cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and improve working-aged population health.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Numerous observations have indicated an increased risk of developing various types of cancers, as well as cancer-related mortality, among patients with diabetes and obesity. The purpose of this review is to outline multiple-cancer screening among these patients through a team-based approach and to present the findings of a pioneering integrated care program designed for patients with obesity with a specific emphasis on cancer prevention. RECENT FINDINGS A community-based multi-cancer prevention program, which provides all services in one location and utilizes team-based approaches, is reported to be feasible and has the potential to enhance the uptake rate of multiple cancers screening among patients with diabetes and obesity. The team-based approach is a commonly utilized method for managing patients with diabetes, obesity, and cancer, and has been shown to be efficacious. Nevertheless, research on team-based cancer screening programs for patients with diabetes and obesity remains limited. Providing a comprehensive screening for colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer, as well as metabolic syndrome, during a single clinic visit has been proven effective and well-received by participants.

Obes Surg 2023; 33:3051-3061. [PMID: 37561268 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06765-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery (BS) is known to improve the components of metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with obesity. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of BS on patients with MS at low BMI levels. The study aims to assess the effect of BS on MS in patients with low BMI by comparing BS with medical therapy (MT). METHODS A total of 271 patients with MS who underwent BS and MT at a single institution were reviewed in this retrospective cohort study. A 1:1 propensity score matching was performed for the BS and MT groups with BMI<35 kg/m2. We analyzed the 5 years effect of BS versus MT on the remission of MS, its components, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, and medication used. RESULTS Patients in the MT group showed a decrease in the prevalence of MS to 62% at the 1st year and 10% at the 5th year. In the BS group, MS prevalence in patients with BMI<35 kg/m2 decreased to 30% and 9% at the 1st and 5th year, whereas in patients with BMI≥35 kg/m2 was 26% and 7%, respectively. The 10-year ASCVD risk and the lifetime ASCVD were significantly decreased 5 years after BS in patients with BMI<35 kg/m2. The number and daily drug dose of hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive medications, and lipid-lowering drugs were reduced from baseline in both BS and MT groups. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery significantly improves MS remission rates and long-term cardiovascular risk in Chinese patients with metabolic syndrome and a BMI <35 kg/m2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been consistently shown that obesity contributes directly to arterial hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD), independently of other risk factors. Likewise, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is acknowledged as a contributor and a risk enhancer for CVD. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis of a causal role of NAFLD in the effect of obesity on arterial hypertension. METHODS Using causal mediation analysis, we quantified the magnitude of the body mass index (BMI) effect on arterial hypertension and CV-traits mediated by NAFLD. First, we analysed data from 1348 young adults in the Bogalusa Heart Study (BHS), a cohort aimed at assessing the natural history of CVD. Then, we used data from 3359 participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2017-2018 cycle, NHANES) to replicate the findings. RESULTS We found that roughly 92% of the effects of BMI on arterial hypertension in the BHS and 51% in the NHANES population are mediated by NAFLD. In addition, indirect effects of BMI on systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, and heart rate (HR) through NAFLD explained up to 91%, 93%, and 100% of the total effect, respectively, in the BHS. In the NHANES survey, indirect effects of BMI through NAFLD on CV traits explain a significant proportion of the total effects (SBP = 60.4%, HR = 100%, and pulse pressure = 88%). CONCLUSION NAFLD mediates a substantial proportion of the effect of obesity on the presence of hypertension and CV-parameters independently of relevant covariates. This conclusion has implications for clinical management.

Risk Assessment for Cardiovascular Disease Using the Framingham Risk Score and Globorisk Score Among Newly Diagnosed Metabolic Syndrome Patients. Int J Gen Med 2023; 16:4295-4305. [PMID: 37753441 PMCID: PMC10518264 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s423151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. In this study, CVD risk was calculated among individuals with newly diagnosed MetS using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and Globorisk Score. The FRS and Globorisk score are particularly relevant in predicting CVD risk as these scores include key MetS-related risk factors like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and age. Patients and Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted at various sites in Karachi, Pakistan, from February 2022 to August 2022. Newly diagnosed cases of MetS with no physical disability, known illness, and not taking any regular medication were recruited. MetS was defined based on the definition of International Diabetes Federation. The major outcome was 10-year risk for CVD using the FRS and Globorisk Score. Results Of 304 patients, 59.2% were classified as low risk according to FRS, while 20.4% were classified as moderate and high risk each. Using the Globorisk score, 44.6% of 224 patients were classified as low risk, 34.4% as moderate risk, and 21.0% as high risk. A moderate positive correlation was observed between the two CVD risk scores (r = 0.651, 95% CI 0.58-0.71). Both risk scores have reported age, gender, and current smokers as significant risk factors in predicting CVD in 10-years (P < 0.05). Conclusion The outcome of both CVD risk scores predicted moderate-to-high risk of CVD in 10-years in almost half of the newly diagnosed patients with MetS. In particular, the risk of development of CVD in 10-years in newly diagnosed MetS is higher with increasing age, in male gender, and current smokers.

Abstract
Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Middle-aged women, in particular, have been reported to have significantly increased cardiovascular disease rates after menopause; however, their adherence to health behaviors is lower than that of other populations. This study examined the factors associated with health behaviors for MetS prevention based on the Information-Motivation-Behavior skills model and described the relationships between the components of the model in middle-aged women. Patients and Methods This investigative study used an online self-report questionnaire survey that included 241 middle-aged postmenopausal women aged 45-64 years. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS 28.0, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among the variables. Results After controlling for age, time since menopause, and comorbidities, knowledge of MetS, social support, self-efficacy, and attitudes explained 42% of the variance in health behaviors for MetS prevention (F=18.38, p<0.001). Among these variables, self-efficacy (β=0.33, p<0.001), attitudes toward health behaviors (β=0.26, p<0.001), and knowledge of MetS (β=0.13, p=0.005) had a significant impact on health behaviors for MetS prevention. Conclusion Significant associations were found between knowledge, self-efficacy, and attitudes toward health behaviors for MetS prevention among middle-aged women. The results of this study suggest that it is essential for healthcare provider to consider the components of the Information-Motivation-Behavior skills model when developing interventions aimed at improving health behaviors for MetS prevention among middle-aged postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Background Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are prone to modifiable and non-modifiable complications, which can be grouped under metabolic syndrome (MetS). Evaluating MetS in patients with diabetes is critical for the prevention of cardiovascular disease among patients with DM. In Ethiopia, more specifically in the southwest of Ethiopia, these kinds of information are lacking. Thus, this study estimated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetic patients and its associated factors. Methods A health facility-based cross-sectional study was done from May 1 to 30, 2021. The data were collected using structured questionnaires, laboratory investigations, and anthropometric measurements. MetS was diagnosed using the modified International Diabetic Federation guidelines (IDF) and the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. The data was entered into Epidata and analyzed using SPSS software. Bivariable and multiple variable logistic regression was done to identify the factors associated with MetS. In multiple-variable logistic regression analysis, variables that have a p-value ≤ 0.05 were declared to have statistical significance. Result The majority (31.4%) of study participants were within the age group of 41-50 years and the mean ± SD of age is 51.75 ± 11.66, and 54.9% of them were men. In this study, the prevalence of MetS was 31.4% and 41.2% using the IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria, respectively. Being a woman (AOR = 11.33, 95% CI; 3.73, 34.34; p < 0.001), having a lower level of education (AOR=7.10, 95% CI; 1.88, 26.70; p <0.004), and performing high physical activities (AOR=0.08, 95%CI; 0.01, 0.40; p <0.002) were significantly associated with MetS. Conclusion According to this study, the magnitude of Metabolic Syndrome in Mizan-Teppi University Teaching Hospital was 31.4% and 41.2% using IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria, respectively. Being a woman and having a lower level of education increased the odds of MetS among patients with DM while performing high physical activities decreased the odds of MetS among patients with DM. Therefore, to prevent metabolic syndrome among type 2 DM patients in the study area, it is crucial to focus on women and individuals who have not had access to adequate education. One way to do this is by prioritizing interventions that involve physical activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common metabolic disorder that results from the increasing prevalence of obesity, which has been an increasing concern in recent years. Previous evidence indicated that MetS was associated with mortality; however, different definitions of MetS were used. In 2005, the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III updated the definition of MetS, which has since been widely adopted. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a novel study among other populations and countries with a larger sample size using the updated definition of MetS and death code to examine the association of MetS with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the associations of MetS with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. METHODS A total of 36,414 adults were included in this study, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (1988-1994) and the continuous NHANES (1999-2014) in the United States. Death outcomes were ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records through December 31, 2015. MetS was defined by the NCEP ATP III-2005 criterion. Complex survey design factors including sample weights, clustering, and stratification were considered for all analyses with instructions for using NHANES data. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for mortality from all causes, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. RESULTS We observed 8494 deaths during the 16.71 years of follow-up. Compared with those without MetS, individuals with MetS were associated with a significantly elevated multiadjusted HR of 1.24 (95% CI 1.16-1.33), 1.44 (95% CI 1.25-1.66), and 5.15 (95% CI 3.15-8.43) for all cause, heart diseases, and diabetes mellitus, respectively, whereas no significant association was found for cancer mortality (HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.95-1.43). CONCLUSIONS Our study provides additional evidence that MetS and its components are significantly associated with all-cause, heart disease, and diabetes mortality, but not with cancer mortality. Health care professionals should pay more attention to MetS and its individual component.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular diseases are fatal factors that threaten human health and cause many deaths worldwide each year, so it is essential to screen cardiopulmonary disease more accurately and efficiently. Auscultation is a non-invasive method for physicians' perception of the disease. The Heart Sounds (HS) and Lung Sounds (LS) recorded by an electronic stethoscope consist of acoustic information that is helpful in the diagnosis of pulmonary conditions. Still, inter-interference between HS and LS presented in both the time and frequency domains blocks diagnostic efficiency. This paper proposes a blind source separation (BSS)strategy that first classifies Heart-Lung-Sound (HLS) according to its LS features and then separates it into HS and LS. Sparse Non-negative Matrix Factorization (SNMF) is employed to extract the LS features in HLS, then proposed a network constructed by Dilated Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) to classify HLS into five types by the magnitude features of LS. Finally, Multi-Channel UNet (MCUNet) separation model is utilized for each category of HLS. This paper is the first to propose the HLS classification method SNMF-DCNN and apply UNet to the cardiopulmonary sound separation domain. Compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed framework in this paper has higher separation quality and robustness.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the clinical status of insulin resistance (IR) and its correlation with disease duration in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional data from a T1D cohort were obtained (n = 923). IR-related metabolic disorders including hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia were used as outcome variables to explore the cut-off point for estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) by restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve. Regression models were used for multivariate analysis of the clinical factors associated with IR. The correlation between the status of IR and diabetes duration was depicted with the RCS curve. RESULTS IR-related metabolic disorders were observed in 39.4% of patients, with 9.1% meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome. Specifically, patients with ≥10 years of T1D were more likely to have IR-related metabolic disorders (54.7% vs. 36.9%, p < 0.05). The presence of IR, defined as an eGDR ≤9.0 mg/kg/min, was observed in 42.2% of patients. Patients with IR had a longer diabetes duration (3.5 vs. 2.7, years, p = 0.003) and higher insulin dose (0.5 vs. 0.4, units per kg per day, p < 0.001). Moreover, the presence of IR showed a gradual increase during 10 years' disease duration and further analysis showed that diabetes duration ≥10 years was a key element behind the development of IR and IR-related metabolic disorders. CONCLUSIONS The status of IR is common in T1D patients, especially in those with ≥10 years of disease duration. Therapies targeting balancing glycaemic control and IR are needed to decrease the future risk of cardiovascular diseases in T1D.

[PMID: 37868505 PMCID: PMC10586230 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.45542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) is a complex interplay of metabolic dysregulation, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diabetes risk factors. It encompasses obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension, with obesity triggering metabolic disturbances. The global prevalence of CMS, driven by rising obesity rates and sedentary lifestyles, varies across regions. Underlying CMS mechanisms intertwine genetics, sedentary behaviors, poor diets, and hormonal imbalances. Genetic predisposition interacts with environmental factors, while sedentary lifestyles and poor diets amplify obesity and insulin resistance. Hormonal disruptions further complicate the syndrome's development. CMS has far-reaching clinical implications, extending beyond CVD and diabetes to conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cancer, and sleep apnea. Innovative CMS approaches revolve around biomarkers, personalized medicine, lifestyle interventions, and pharmacological breakthroughs. Emerging biomarkers offer early insights, while personalized medicine tailors interventions based on genetic profiles. Lifestyle modifications, encompassing dietary changes and tailored exercise, foster metabolic recalibration. The pharmaceutical frontier targets CMS facets, promising more precise treatments.

Hemodynamic responses to handgrip and metaboreflex activation are exaggerated in individuals with metabolic syndrome independent of resting blood pressure, waist circumference, and fasting blood glucose. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1212775. [PMID: 37608839 PMCID: PMC10441127 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1212775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Prior studies report conflicting evidence regarding exercise pressor and metaboreflex responses in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Purpose: To test the hypotheses that 1) exercise pressor and metaboreflex responses are exaggerated in MetS and 2) these differences may be explained by elevated resting blood pressure. Methods: Blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were evaluated in 26 participants (13 MetS) during 2 min of handgrip exercise followed by 3 min of post-exercise circulatory occlusion (PECO). Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP), along with HR and a cumulative blood pressure index (BPI), were compared between groups using independent samples t-tests, and analyses of covariance were used to adjust for differences in resting blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and waist circumference (WC). Results: ΔSBP (∼78% and ∼54%), ΔMAP (∼67% and ∼55%), and BPI (∼16% and ∼20%) responses were significantly exaggerated in individuals with MetS during handgrip and PECO, respectively (all p ≤ 0.04). ΔDBP, ΔMAP, and BPI responses during handgrip remained significantly different between groups after independently covarying for resting blood pressure (p < 0.01), and after simultaneously covarying for resting blood pressure, FBG, and WC (p ≤ 0.03). Likewise, peak SBP, DBP, MAP, and BPI responses during PECO remained significantly different between groups after adjusting for resting blood pressure (p ≤ 0.03), with peak SBP, MAP, and BPI response remaining different between groups after adjusting for all three covariates simultaneously (p ≤ 0.04). Conclusion: These data suggest that exercise pressor and metaboreflex responses are significantly exaggerated in MetS independent of differences in resting blood pressure, FBG, or WC.
