Metabolic syndrome and socioeconomic status in France: The French Nutrition and Health Survey (ENNS, 2006–2007)

Although nutritional health knowledge serves as the basis for the daily food guides, limited epidemiologic studies were conducted to verify whether adherence to the daily food guides reduced the prevalence of diseases. This study aims to examine whether adherence to the daily food guides relates to the lower risk of having metabolic syndrome, as well as to assess the association between levels of adherence to daily food guides and demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) 2013–2016. Face-to-face dietary assessments were conducted using a validated food-frequency questionnaire. Six food groups were defined according to the daily food guides in Taiwan. We constructed a daily food guide index to measure the levels of adherence to the daily food guides. Logistic regression was performed to assess the association between the levels of adherence to the daily food guides and the risk of having metabolic syndrome. A total of 2534 participants (51% of females) were included in the final analysis. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, education level, marital status, and family income, we found a negative correlation between the levels of adherence to daily food guides and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The odds ratios (ORs) for the highest versus lowest quartile of the adherence level was 0.65 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.48–0.88). In addition, males, younger age, lower education, divorced, separated, and widowed, and lower family income were associated with lower adherence to daily food guides. In conclusion, participants reporting better adherence to the daily food guides during the past month had a lower risk of having metabolic syndrome.

The Relationship

Background: Elevated ferritin, which is often used to represent iron storage, is known to increase the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) or its components, but its increase is affected by many factors. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between other indicators of iron storage, and MetS and its components in order to fully understand the role of iron in the occurrence and development of these diseases. Although there are many studies to analyze the relationship involved in adults and adolescents, in children there is limited research. In this study, we aim to estimate the association of whole blood iron, ferritin, and total body iron with metabolic syndrome, and especially its components in Chinese rural children aged 6–12 years old. Method: A total of 1333 children aged 6–12 years old were enrolled from the 2010–2012 China National Nutrition and Health Survey in this study. Markers of iron storage (whole blood iron, ferritin, and total body iron (TBI)) and MetS component parameters (waist, blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and fast glycose) were collected. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the independent relationship between iron storage markers, and the incident of metabolic syndrome and its components. Results: After adjusting for age, gender, C-reactive protein (CRP), and body mass index (BMI), a negative association was found between whole blood iron, ferritin, and TBI and incidence of reduced HDL-C (odds ratio (OR) = 0.63, 0.49, and 0.57, respectively). The highest tertile of whole blood iron increased the risk of the incidence of hyperglycemia (OR = 1.74), while TBI decreased the risk by 61%. No significant association was found between ferritin tertiles and the incidence of hyperglycemia. Conclusion: An iron storage level within the normal range in children is associated with a risk of MetS components, especially in hyperglycemia and reduced HDL-C. The relationship between the three iron indexes and metabolic syndrome and its components is not completely consistent, which suggests that the underlying mechanism is complex and needs to be further explored.

Abstract Background: Copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) are essential elements that participate in a series of oxidative stress and inflammation pathways related to metabolic reactions. Many studies have analyzed the relationship between Cu, Mg and Zn and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents and adults, but there have been few studies of children. We aimed to investigate the association of whole blood Cu, Mg and Zn with MetS components in 6–12-year-old rural Chinese children. Methods: A total of 911 children (51.2% male, 48.7% female) aged 6–12 years were enrolled from the 2010–2012 China National Nutrition and Health Survey. Basic characteristics, metals and MetS component parameters were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the independent relationship between metals and the incidence of MetS components.Results: Copper was positively associated with elevated waist circumference when analyzed alone (OR=2.00, 1.18–3.28). Combined with Zn, this association approached zero. For elevated triglyceride levels, the combination of low Cu and high Zn showed the opposite association with triglyceride relative to Cu alone (OR=2.21, 1.18–4.13 versus OR=0.33, 0.16–0.65, respectively), but was similar to the analysis of Zn alone (OR=2.12, 1.10–4.10). There was no association between whole blood Mg and waist circumference. However, the presence of both high Cu and high Mg levels significantly increased the risk of waist circumference exceeding the standard value (OR=2.03, 1.26–3.27). In addition, separate analysis of the distribution of Mg and Zn found no association with the risk of reduced high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C); but high Zn combined with low Mg negatively associated with the risk of reduced HDL-C levels (OR=0.47, 0.28–0.77). Conclusions: Both the single and combined effects of Cu, Mg and Zn were associated with components of MetS. These results indicate the importance of combined analysis of multiple elements, and also provide new avenues for the early screening of MetS. The current results need to be further investigated in future work and other populations.

Dietary Fructose

Abstract Background A growing number of researches supported that dietary fructose was associated with all the key features of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, there was no large epidemiological study among Chinese population although the prevalence of MetS increased sharply. This study explores the relationship between dietary fructose and MetS among Chinese residents aged 45 and above. Methods A total of 25528 participants (11574 males and 13954 females) were included in this nationwide representative cross-sectional study of China National Nutrition and Health Survey. Dietary fructose intake was assessed by 3-day 24-h dietary records. MetS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation and Chinese Diabetes Society criteria. Results The consumption of dietary fructose for urban residents was 11.6 g/day and for rural residents was 7.6 g/day. Fruits and vegetables as well as their products were the main food sources. There was no association between dietary fructose intake and the risk of MetS in both urban (P = 0.315) and rural residents (P = 0.230) after adjustment for confounding factors. Moreover, for urban residents who participating in physical activity, the risk of MetS in the fourth quartiles (OR: 0.67; 95%CI: 0.52–0.86) was reduced compared with the first quartile. In the sensitivity analysis, the risk of MetS was also found a significant reduction in the fourth quartiles (OR, 95%CI: 0.67, 0.51–0.89; 0.63, 0.46–0.85; 0.74, 0.56–0.98) compared with the first quartile when excluding smokers, alcohol users, and underweight/obesity, respectively. And there was no association between dietary fructose intake and the risk of MetS after multivariate adjustment stratified by gender, smoking and alcohol use. Conclusions Under the current dietary fructose intake status, there was no association between dietary fructose intake and the risk of MetS among Chinese residents aged 45 and above. Physical activity and relatively low fructose intake may have a beneficial synergistic effect on MetS.

Metabolic Syndrome Components

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is significantly associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and its prevalence is showing a trend of getting younger. Previous studies on the relationship between elements and MetS were mostly reported in adults with single element analysis, while reports in children with combined effects of multiple elements were very limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between whole blood Cu, Mg and Zn in both single and combined effects and MetS components in rural Chinese children aged 6–12 years based on the data from 2010–2012 China National Nutrition and Health Survey. Methods A total of 911 children (51.2% male, 48.7% female) aged 6–12 years were included. Basic characteristics and MetS component parameters were collected and determined by trained stuffs. Elements were detected by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the independent relationship between elements and MetS components. Results In single metal analysis, copper was positively associated with elevated waist (OR = 2.00, 1.18–3.28) and all of the metals were associated with elevated TG. And the comprehensive analysis of multiple elements were mostly consistent with the results of single element analysis (low Cu + high Zn with elevated TG (OR = 2.21, 1.18–4.13), high Cu + low Mg with elevated TG (OR = 0.40, 0.16–0.95), high Cu + high Mg with elevated waist (OR = 2.03, 1.26–3.27)), except the combination of Zn and Mg (high Zn + low Mg with reduced HDL-C (OR = 0.47, 0.28–0.77)). Conclusions Our study suggested Cu, Zn and Mg in children are indeed associated with metabolic syndrome components, whether in single element or multi-element combined analysis. The results will be confirmed through additional cohort research.

Abstract Background Copper, zinc and magnesium are essential elements and participate in a series of oxidative stress and inflammation related to metabolic reactions. There are many studies analyzed the relationship between Cu, Zn, Mg and metabolic syndrome(MetS), which involved in adults and adolescents, but there are still few in children. Objective We aim to estimate the association of whole blood copper, zinc and magnesium with metabolic syndrome components in Chinese rural 6–12 years old children. Method: A total of 911 children aged 6–12 were enrolled from the 2010–2012 China National Nutrition and Health Survey in this study. The basic characteristics, metals and MetS components parameters were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the independent relationship between metals and the incident of MetS components. Results Elevated waist was positively associated with higher whole blood Cu concentration(OR = 2.00) and higher ratio of Cu/Zn(OR = 2.08), whereas elevated TG was negatively associated with higher Cu (OR = 0.33) and higher Cu/Zn(OR = 0.35) level. And higher level of Zn (OR = 2.12) and Mg (OR = 2.34) were both positively associated with elevated TG. In the combination of low Cu and high Zn level, it increased the risk of elevated TG(OR = 2.21), which consistent with the single analysis of these two metals. Mg has no significant effect on elevated waist when analysis alone. However, when there was high Mg and Cu at the same time, the risk of elevated waist increased significantly (OR = 2.03). In addition, different from single analysis of Zn and Mg, when high Zn and low Mg combined, it can significantly decreased the risk of reduced HDL-C (OR = 0.47). Conclusion The level of whole blood Cu, Zn, Cu/Zn and Mg within the normal range in children is associated with the risk of MetS components, especially in elevated TG and elevated waist. And the combination of each two metals has also shown to be correlated to MetS components. The future research will conduct a cohort to further confirm these findings. And the results will also need to be verified in other populations.

Abstract Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health problem in the world and some studies indicated that it is significantly associated with the future risk of cardiovascular disease. There is also a certain prevalence of Mets in childhood and shows a trend of younger age. Previous studies on the relationship between elements and MetS were mostly seen in adults with single element analysis, and reports on children and the combined effects of multiple elements were very limited. With the data form 2010–2012 China National Nutrition and Health Survey, we aim to investigate the association between whole blood Cu, Mg and Zn in both single and combined effects and MetS components in 6–12-year-old rural Chinese children.Methods: A total of 911 children (51.2% male, 48.7% female) aged 6–12 years were enrolled. Basic characteristics, metals and MetS component parameters were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the independent relationship between metals and MetS components.Results: Copper was positively associated with elevated waist (OR=2.00, 1.18–3.28) and negatively associated with elevated TG (OR=0.33, 0.16-0.65). When high Cu combined with Zn, the association with elevated waist and elevated TG both disappeared. In the combination of Cu and Mg, high Cu with high Mg had a positive association with elevated waist (OR=2.03, 1.26-3.27) and high Cu with low Mg had a negative asscoiation with elevated TG (OR=0.40, 0.16-0.95). Conclusions: Our study suggested that both the single and combined effects of Cu, Mg and Zn were associated with MetS components, especially in elevated waist and TG. And the comprehensive analysis of multiple elements was different from the results of single element analysis, which provide new avenues for the early screening of MetS. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations.
