Abstract The present study aimed to elucidate the relationship between cola consumption and bone mineral density (BMD) in Korean adolescents and young adults. We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011. A total of 2499 adolescents and young adults aged 12–25 years were included. The study participants were classified as cola drinkers and non-cola drinkers according to 24-h dietary recall data. BMD was measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry. In the male population, whole body, whole femur and femoral neck BMD in cola drinkers were lower than that of non-cola drinkers by 4% (95% CI −0⋅071, −0⋅007), 5% (−0⋅092, −0⋅012) and 5% (−0⋅090, −0⋅001), respectively. In both sex groups, cola drinkers had less frequent milk consumption than non-cola drinkers. However, there were no significant differences in cola consumption according to calcium intake in both sexes. In conclusion, cola intake and BMD were inversely associated with Korean male adolescents and young adults. Considering the importance of peak bone mass attainment at adolescents and the increasing trend in carbonated beverage consumption in South Korea, further studies are needed to elucidate the causality between cola intake and lower BMD.

Abstract Background: The distribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations among children and young adults in the US is not known at present. Methods: We used data from 3348 US children and young adults 3–19 years of age who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2000, to describe the distribution of CRP concentrations, based on results obtained with a high-sensitivity latex-enhanced turbidimetric assay. Results: The range of CRP concentrations was 0.1–90.8 mg/L (mean, 1.6 mg/L; geometric mean, 0.5 mg/L; median, 0.4 mg/L). CRP concentrations increased with age. Females 16–19 years of age had higher concentrations than males in this age range (P = 0.003). Mexican Americans had the highest CRP concentrations among the three major race or ethnic groups (P <0.001). Conclusions: For the first time, these data describe the CRP concentration distribution among US children and young adults, based on results obtained with a high-sensitivity assay.

Abstract Background Low vaccination rates and under-detection of cases in adolescents and young adults have been implicated in the transmission of Pertussis to children. In this study, the proportion of adolescents and young adults with anti Bordetella pertussis IgG antibodies was estimated in a population-based survey in Mexico. Methods Frozen sera and data from 1,581 subjects—1,102 adolescents and 479 young adults (10–19 and 20–25 years old, respectively)—56% female were randomly selected from the Mexico’s National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT) 2012. CDC/FDA validated PT ELISA test was used to detect anti-pertussis toxin (PT) antibodies. A subset of 300 samples was also tested with Bp-IgG PT ELISA kit (Euroimmun AG, Lubeck, Germany®), both tests used international standards. Threshold values were established to identify vaccination or infection within the previous year, according to a US survey (Baughman et al.). Population-weighted estimates of seroprevalence were calculated. Results Overall Bp seroprevalence was 3.9% (95% CI: 2.3, 6.3); 3.1% (1.9, 5.0) in adolescents, and 4.9% (2.2, 11) in young adults. Seroprevalence did not significantly vary by gender, socioeconomic status, region or rural/urban location. Compared with the CDC/FDA PT ELISA, the Euroimmun® test showed 76% sensitivity, 88% specificity. Conclusion Booster vaccination to Bp after toddlerhood is not in the Mexican national policy; therefore, anti-PT IgG seropositivity may reasonably be attributed to recent Bp infection. Our weighted estimates of recent Bp infection, which are based on a national population-based serosurvey and a standardized serological test, represent a considerable burden of infections in adolescents and young adults that sharply contrast with the official surveillance reports. Also, the Bp-IgG PT ELISA commercial kit lower sensitivity than the CDC/FDA PT ELISA may lead underestimation of recent infections. In conclusion, assessing pertussis seroprevalence requires careful consideration of the right tests and epidemiological model for interpretation. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Blood Cadmium

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, although the mortality rate has declined with improved technology and risk factor control. The incidence rate of stroke, one of the CVDs, is increasing in young adults, whereas it is decreasing in the elderly. The risk factors for CVD may differ between young adults and the elderly. Previous studies have suggested that cadmium was a potential CVD risk factor in the overall and middle-aged to elderly populations. We assessed the associations between cadmium and CVD events in the Korean population aged 20–59 years using the 2008–2013 and 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), a population-based cross-sectional study. Among 10,626 participants aged 20–59 years, those with high blood cadmium (BCd) level (>1.874 µg/L, 90th percentile) were higher associated with stroke and hypertension (stroke: odds ratio (OR), 2.39; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03–5.56; hypertension: OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.20–1.76). The strongest association between high blood cadmium concentrations and hypertension was among current smokers. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) was not associated with high blood cadmium level. These findings suggest that high blood cadmium levels may be associated with prevalent stroke and hypertension in the Korean population under 60 years of age.

Objective: The association between depression and insulin resistance has been evaluated in previous studies with conflicting results. This study aimed to explore the relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and insulin resistance among nondiabetic young adult men and women in the United States. Method: Analyses of cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999—2002, were conducted. The nationally representative sample consisted of 279 men and 358 women aged 20—39 years. MDD was determined by the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Insulin resistance was measured by the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance. Results: Of 637 subjects, 16 men and 18 women had MDD (weighted percentage = 6.6%, SE = 1.2). Using logistic regression, no significant association was found between MDD and insulin resistance among the nondiabetic young adults in bivariate analysis (β = -0.01, OR = 0.99, 95% CI = [0.38, 2.57], p = .98). A significant interaction effect between gender and MDD was observed. For men, MDD was negatively associated with insulin resistance after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, waist circumference, smoking status, systolic blood pressure and triglyceride level (β = -2.12, OR = 0.12, 95% CI = [0.02, 0.62], p = .01). No significant association between MDD and insulin resistance among women was found (β = 0.61, OR = 1.84, 95% CI = [0.47, 7.14], p = .38). Conclusions: Overall findings suggest there is no significant association between MDD and insulin resistance among nondiabetic young adults aged 20—39 years. However, gender differences in this relationship were noted.
