Metabolic syndrome reduces bone mineral density in overweight adolescents

Tai Chi and walking are both moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) that can be easily practiced in daily life. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of these two PAs on weight loss, metabolic syndrome parameters, and bone mineral density (BMD) in Chinese adults. We randomized 374 middle-aged subjects (45.8 ± 5.3 years) into 12-week training (45 minutes per day, 5 days per week) of Tai Chi(n=124)or self-paced walking(n=121)or control group(n=129). On average, Tai Chi and walking groups lost 0.50 and 0.76 kg of body weight and 0.47 and 0.59 kg of fat mass after intervention, respectively. The between-group difference of waist circumference (WC) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was −3.7 cm and −0.18 mmol/L for Tai Chi versus control and −4.1 cm and −0.22 mmol/L for walking versus control. No significant differences were observed regarding lean mass, blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and BMD compared to control. Change in lean mass, not fat mass or total weight loss, was significantly correlated to the change in BMD. Our results suggest that both of these two PAs can produce moderate weight loss and significantly improve the WC and FBG in Hong Kong Chinese adults, with no additional effects on BMD.

The Relationship

Background ― Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is the world's major public health problem. Objectives ― Assessment of metabolic syndrome impact on bone mineral density (BMD) among Saudi menopausal women in Eastern Province – Saudi Arabia. Material and Methods ― It’s a case control study and 380 menopausal Saudi women were selected through stratified random sampling; they are divided into 190 cases with osteoporosis and 190 without osteoporosis. BMD at the total hip were determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The T score was calculated, the relationship between the risk factors of MetS and bone mineral density were analyzed by statistical methods. Results ― Prevalence of MetS was substantially higher among osteoprotic women. The MetS is significantly correlated with bone mineral density (r=0.08, P=0.05). The occurrence of MetS was associated with increased osteoporosis among Saudi women (B=0.004; 0.05) after adjustment of confounders. The presence of obesity (component of MetS) was significantly associated with increased odds of Bone marrow density among women (OR 2.56, 95% CI, 2.22–3.44, P=0.030) after adjustment of confounders. Conclusion ― MetS was significantly associated with an osteoporosis in Saudi women.

The Relationship

Background: The risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in menopausal women are potential causes of osteoporosis. However, there is no consensus on this. We aimed to determine the relationship between risk factors of MetS and bone mineral density (BMD) in menopausal Korean women. Methods: We enrolled 205 menopausal Korean women who visited a health promotion center in Seoul in 2015 and divided them into the following two groups according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria with modified waist-circumference criteria: the non-MetS group (Group 1, n=90) and the MetS group (Group 2, n=115). Anthropometric parameters and clinical parameters, including blood pressure, blood lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides), and fasting blood sugar levels were recorded for all participants. BMD at the lumbar spine was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The relationship between the risk factors of MetS and bone mineral density was analyzed by statistical methods. Results: There was no significant difference in risk factors of MetS between the groups. In correlation tests, waist circumference showed a significant association with body surface area (BSA) (r = -0.242, P < 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure was correlated with BSA (r = 0.186, P < 0.01) and bone mineral content (BMC) (r = 0.161, P < 0.05). However, multiple regression analysis showed no significant relationship between MetS risk factors and BMD. Conclusion: The risk factors of MetS did not affect BMD in menopausal Korean women. Follow-up studies with a larger study population are necessary size to allow the investigation of other research variables.
