We assessed the association between several cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) (blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, and glucose) in 390 young adults aged 19-20 years in Seychelles (Indian Ocean, Africa) and body mass index (BMI) measured either at the same time (cross-sectional analysis) or at the age of 12–15 years (longitudinal analysis). BMI tracked markedly between age of 12–15 and age of 19-20. BMI was strongly associated with all considered CRFs in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, with some exceptions. Comparing overweight participants with those having a BMI below the age-specific median, the odds ratios for high blood pressure were 5.4/4.7 (male/female) cross-sectionally and 2.5/3.9 longitudinally (P<0.05). Significant associations were also found for most other CRFs, with some exceptions. In linear regression analysis including both BMI at age of 12–15 and BMI at age of 19-20, only BMI at age of 19-20 remained significantly associated with most CRFs. We conclude that CRFs are predicted strongly by either current or past BMI levels in adolescents and young adults in this population. The observation that only current BMI remained associated with CRFs when including past and current levels together suggests that weight control at a later age may be effective in reducing CRFs in overweight children irrespective of past weight status.

Abstract Background: Young adults’ physical activity is a foundation of creating future healthy lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in physical activity, sedentary behavior, walkability, and health beliefs between young adults with and without cardiometabolic risk factors and the influence of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire.Results: Totally, 1149 valid responses were received for a response rate of 86.32%. A significant effect of cardiometabolic risk factors on the physical activity and sedentary time among groups was found. Young adults at high risk had a lower probability of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than did healthy adults. Individuals who perceived that there were more recreational facilities, higher benefits of exercise, and lower barriers to exercise were more likely to participate in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.Conclusions: Engaging in physical activity from environment and psychological perspectives is necessary for young adults’ cardiometabolic health promotion.

Vitamin D Levels

Background: Vitamin D, a pleotropic hormone, influences cellular and tissue functions that are potentially related to cardiometabolic risk. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency have also been related to cardiovascular diseases. However, relationships between vitamin D and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults are not well-characterized. Methods: We examined associations of vitamin D with cardiometabolic risk factors among a subset of the Jerusalem Perinatal Study (JPS) population, a birth cohort of Jerusalem residents born between 1974 and 1976. Offsprings aged 30-35 years, sampled based on maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and offspring birth weight, and their mothers were recruited as part of the JPS-1 study. Data were collected using interviews and field physical examinations. Fasting blood specimens were obtained for vitamin D and biomarker (glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides) measurements. We used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy to measure total vitamin D (25-[OH] D). Sample-weighted multiple regression models, adjusted for potential confounders, were used to examine associations, and determine coefficients and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Mean total vitamin D levels were 22.27ng/ml, 23.48ng/ml and 21.03ng/ml among all study participants, males (N=617) and females (N=588), respectively. Vitamin D levels were statistically different between males and females (p-value <0.001). Current smokers had higher vitamin D levels compared with non-smokers, even after adjustment for current BMI, ethnicity, occupation and other potential confounders (β=1.41, p-value= 0.039). Overall, higher vitamin D levels were associated with lower BMI (p-values 0.002) and lower diastolic blood pressure (p-values 0.011). Conclusion: Vitamin D is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults. The unexpected association between current smoking and higher vitamin D in our study needs replication and further investigation.
