Abstract Objectives Metabolic syndrome is a precursor to many leading causes of death in the United States including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. Diet plays a major role in preventing or exacerbating the development of metabolic syndrome. Increasing plant protein intake may help to reduce risk of developing metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to examine the possible relationship between metabolic syndrome progression and % of protein from plant sources in the diet. Methods The ARIC dataset was used to compare changes in the number of metabolic syndrome criteria (0-5) over a 9-year period to average % of protein from plant sources for 10,038 Americans age 45–64. Quartiles of plant protein intake were controlled for important covariates in linear regression. Results As hypothesized, quartiles with higher percentages of protein intake from plant sources showed a decrease in metabolic syndrome score [B (change in metabolic syndrome score over 9 years per plant protein quartile) = -0.039; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.063, -0.016] over 9 years of follow up. Waist circumference was the most significantly associated metabolic syndrome factor (B = -0.053; 95% CI -0.030, -0.011). A decrease in BMI was similarly correlated with higher intakes of plant proteins (B = -0.077; 95% CI -0.214, -0.0112). Conclusions These results suggest that a higher intake of plant proteins could be protective against increased BMI, waist circumference, and worsening metabolic syndrome and therefore may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke.

The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among 388 patients with peripheral arterial disease, to determine the relationship between the number of metabolic syndrome components (metabolic syndrome score) and the degree of established and some of the emerging vascular risk factors, and to estimate whether there was any relationship of metabolic syndrome score and other vascular risk factors with the severity of peripheral arterial disease clinical manifestations. Metabolic syndrome was present in 59.8% of the patients with peripheral arterial disease. All metabolic syndrome components were significantly related to metabolic syndrome score. The same was true for the body weight, body mass index, percentage of body fat, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, uric acid, and percentage of patients with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. The metabolic syndrome score was also significantly, but inversely, related to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and smoking. The degree of peripheral arterial disease clinical manifestations was not related to metabolic syndrome score, but gangrene was significantly positively associated with increased fasting glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and lower education.

Abstract Context: The joint effects of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition on metabolic health are not well known. Objective: To examine the associations of CRF, fat-free mass index (FFMI), and fat mass index (FMI) with metabolic health in individual twins and controlling for genetic and shared environmental effects by studying monozygotic intrapair differences. Design, Setting, and Participants: Two cross-sectional samples of healthy adult monozygotic and dizygotic twins were drawn from population-based Danish and Finnish national twin registries (n = 996 and n = 309). Main Measures: CRF was defined as VO2max divided by fat-free mass. Insulin sensitivity and acute insulin response indices were derived from an oral glucose tolerance test. A continuous metabolic syndrome score was calculated. Visceral and liver fat were measured in the Finnish sample. Associations were analyzed separately in both cohorts with multivariate linear regression and aggregated with meta-analytic methods. Results: Insulin sensitivity, acute insulin response, metabolic syndrome score, visceral, and liver fat amount had strong and statistically significant associations with FMI (|β| 0.53 to 0.79), whereas their associations with CRF and FFMI were at most weak (|β| 0.02 to 0.15). The results of the monozygotic intrapair differences analysis showed the same pattern. Conclusions: Although FMI is strongly associated with worsening of metabolic health traits, even after controlling for genetic and shared environmental factors, there was little evidence for the effects of CRF or FFMI on metabolic health. This suggests that changing FMI rather than CRF or FFMI may affect metabolic health irrespective of genetic or early environmental determinants.
