SummaryCentral obesity has been associated with the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease in children. A total of 358 Delhi school girls aged 6–11 years were measured for height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference. The study demonstrates a linear correlation between body mass index (BMI) and waist and hip circumference and suggests an indirect method of estimating waist and hip circumferences, whose high values may be used for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Further investigations on different groups are needed to substantiate these results and attribute BMI a predictive value in the clinical setting for the risk and diagnosis of childhood obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Background. The strength of associations between total testosterone (TT) and metabolic parameters may vary in different nature of population structure; however, no study has ever given this information in Chinese population, especially those without metabolic syndrome (MS). We aimed to analyze the association magnitudes between TT and multiple metabolic parameters in general Chinese men. Methods. 4309 men were recruited from SPECT-China study in 2014-2015, which was performed in 22 sites in East China. TT, weight status, and various metabolic parameters were measured. Linear and logistic regressions were used to analyze the associations. Results. Men in lower TT quartiles had worse metabolic parameters including body mass index, triglycerides, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR (all P for trend < 0.001). Body mass index (B −0.32, 95%CI −0.35 to −0.29) and obesity (OR 0.40, 95%CI 0.35–0.45) had the largest association magnitude per one SD increment in TT, while blood pressure and hypertension (OR 0.90, 95%CI 0.84–0.98) had the smallest. These associations also persisted in individuals without metabolic syndrome. Conclusions. Obesity indices had closer relationships with TT than most other metabolic measures with blood pressure the least close. These associations remained robust after adjustment for adiposity and in subjects without metabolic syndrome.

The Metabolic Syndrome

OBJECTIVE: Mild hypoandrogenism in men is associated with features of the metabolic syndrome, but the association with the metabolic syndrome itself using an accepted definition has not been described. DESIGN: Men with the metabolic syndrome were identified and testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels were determined in a population-based cohort of 1896 non-diabetic middle-aged Finnish men. RESULTS: Calculated free testosterone and SHBG were 11% and 18% lower (P<0.001) in men with the metabolic syndrome (n=345, World Health Organisation definition). After categorisation by tertiles and adjusting for age and body mass index, total and free testosterone and SHBG were inversely associated with concentrations of insulin, glucose, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP) and CRP-adjusted ferritin and positively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Men with free testosterone levels in the lowest third were 2.7 (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.0-3.7) times more likely to have the metabolic syndrome in age-adjusted analyses, and 1.7 (95% CI 1.2-2.4) times more likely even after further adjusting for body mass index. Exclusion of men with cardiovascular disease did not alter the association. The inverse association of SHBG with the metabolic syndrome was somewhat stronger. CONCLUSIONS: Low testosterone and SHBG levels were strongly associated not only with components of the metabolic syndrome, but also with the metabolic syndrome itself, independently of body mass index. Furthermore, sex hormones were associated with inflammation and body iron stores. Even in the absence of late-stage consequences such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, subtle derangements in sex hormones are present in the metabolic syndrome, and may contribute to its pathogenesis.

Abstract ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of childhood overweight, obesity and metabolic abnormalities among children aged 12-15 years within the schools in Kandy Municipality area, Sri Lanka. DesignCross- sectional observational study.SettingRandomly selected schools in Kandy municipality areaMethodsThe anthropometric measurements of 1766 school children were taken and those who were overweight or obese were recruited for further evaluation of metabolic abnormalities.ResultsThere were 1053 (59.62%) boys and 713 (40.37%) girls of whom 258 (14.60%) were overweight or obese (7.81% overweight and 6.79% obese). This included 106 girls of whom, 64 were overweight and 42 were obese and 152 boys of whom, 74 and 78 were overweight and obese respectively. Central obesity was seen in 16.93% and 5.01% of them had normal body mass index. Eighty-five children out of the 258 with body mass index > 85th percentile reported for further evaluation and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among them was 11.67% (5 girls and 5 boys). When borderline and abnormal levels of lipids were taken together, more than 50% of overweight and obese children were found to have dyslipidaemia. Elevated Alanine Amino Transaminase and Aspartate Amino Transaminase levels were reported in 33 (38.82%) and 7 (8.24%) respectively. Evidence of fatty liver was present in 34.69% based on abdominal ultra sound scan findings.ConclusionWhile prevalence rates of overweight, obesity and metabolic syndrome are comparable with other urban settings in the country as well as neighbouring countries in Asia, the study highlights the detection of lipid abnormalities suggestive of familial hyperlipidaemia which warrants further evaluation. NAFLD is also identified as a significant comorbidity. Central obesity is underestimated by British standards.

Prevalence Of Obesity

The high prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome throughout the world over the past two decades provided the grounds to the WHO to consider overweight as a non-infectious pandemic. Among the factors that negatively affect the metabolism, result in metabolic disorders and obesity there are genetic, prenatal, diet-related, somatic, psychogenic and others. Analysis of LEPR and GR gene polymorphisms among mothers and their newborns can be an important component in the prediction of metabolic disorders and obesity. The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of clinical and genetic determinants of metabolic syndrome in mothers and their newborns. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study of 42 pairs of mothers and newborns was performed; we analyzed their anthropometric, clinical and laboratory parameters and, in particular, 2 types of genetic polymorphisms (LEPR rs1137101 and GR, BClI polymorphism). The main group consisted of 15 mother-child pairs, where the woman was clinically obese (body mass index more than 30), the comparison group included 27 mother-child pairs, where the women were overweight (body mass index more than 25). Results. Obese mothers were significantly more likely to have a miscarriage (p = 0.01). Children from obese mothers had significantly higher percentiles of birth weight compared to the control group (60.9 ± 7.7 and 49.75 ± 4.5, respectively, p = 0.05). The GG genotype of the GR gene was associated with more common indications for hospitalization (p = 0.012), rapid delivery (p = 0.01), umbilical cord entanglement around the neck of the foetus (p = 0.012). Among the children- carriers of the GG BclI genotype GR, cardio-metabolic disorders detected by the auscultation of the heart (arrhythmia, functional noise) were found out as significantly more frequent (p = 0.003). Conclusion. The study did not find the associations between LEPR and GR gene polymorphism in obese mothers and the development of overweight in their children, but the study revealed an adverse effect of polymorphic variants on obstetric and gynaecological status of mothers, labour and adaptation of infants in the early neonatal period.

Objective: There are studies that show different associations between metabolic syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular disease in adolescent. This study is aimed to identify probable cardio-vascular risk factors in obese adolescents with MS.Methods: Sixty-five obese adolescents with a body mass index (BMI) &gt; 95 percentile were enrolled and divided into two groups with MS or without MS. Left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index, ejection fraction, epicardial fat thickness, visceral fat thickness (VFT) and carotid intima-media thickness were measured. Anthropometric and blood chemistry parameters were estimated. Above parameters were compared based on presence or absence of MS.Results: The prevalence of MS was 23.1% in obese adolescents. LVM showed significant correlation with body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), fat mass, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and waist circumference (WC). VFT significantly correlated with WC, BMI, hip circumflex (HC), obesity index (OI), fat %, fat mass, insulin, TC, LDL-C, insulin, triglyceride (TG), glucose, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and leptin.Conclusions: Screening for the MS in overweight adolescents may help to predict risk of future cardiovascular disease. These data suggest that LVMI and VFT are significant parameters for predicting cardiovascular disease risk in obese adolescents.
