Background:Few studies have been conducted to explore the associations of fatness and fitness during adolescence with risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) during adulthood, particularly in Asians.Methods:Adolescent anthropometric and fitness data were collected during the participants’ high school years (N = 15,896) and their corresponding health examination data from adulthood were taken from the National Health Insurance Corporation (NHIC) in Korea. A total of 1,006 participants (6.3%) were analyzed in the study.Results:The odds ratios (ORs) for being overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) during adulthood was 11.87 (95% CI: 4.19–33.59) in men and 8.44 (95% CI: 1.78–40.02) in women, respectively, in the fattest group vs. the leanest group during adolescence. Participants with low fitness levels during adolescence were more likely to be overweight and have abnormal MetS risk factors in adulthood vs. those with high fitness levels. Joint exposure analyses of fatness and fitness showed that male participants who were more fat and unfit during adolescence had 4.11 (95% CI: 1.19–14.14) and 3.04 (95% CI: 1.17–11.12) times higher risk of having abnormal glucose and MetS risks during adulthood, respectively.Conclusions:Fatness and fitness levels during adolescence appear to be significantly associated with the MetS risk factors and prevalence in adulthood in Koreans.

Abstract Introduction The association between tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy (T&A) with appendicitis is controversial, and the association of T&A with pneumonia has not been investigated. Objective To investigate the associations of T&A with pneumonia and appendicitis using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort. Methods We selected patients between the ages of 3 and 10 years who had undergone T&A in 2005 and were monitored since the performance of the T&A until 2013. The control group was established to have similar propensities for demographic characteristics compared to the T&A group. For eight years after the T&A, the number of patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia, patients who were admitted due to pneumonia, and those who underwent appendectomy were analyzed. The risk factors for pneumonia and appendectomy were analyzed. Results The number of pneumonia diagnoses was significantly higher in the T&A group than in the control group (p = 0.023), but there were no significant differences in the number of admissions due to pneumonia between the 2 groups (p = 0.155). Younger age and T&A were significant risk factors for the development of pneumonia. There were no significant differences in the number of appendectomies between the T&A and the control groups (p = 0.425), neither were there significant risk factors for appendectomy. Conclusion Tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy was associated with an increase in pneumonia diagnoses, but it was not associated with the number of appendectomies. The associations of T&A with pneumonia and appendicitis were analyzed in this population-based study.

(1) Background: The health implications associated with the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype, in particular related to symptoms of depression, are still not clear. the purpose of this study is to check whether depression and metabolic status are relevant by classifying them into four groups in accordance with the MHO diagnostic standard. Other impressions seen were the differences between sexes and the effects of the MHO on the occurrence of depression. (2) Methods: A sample of 3,586,492 adult individuals from the National Health Insurance Database of Korea was classified into four categories by their metabolic status and body mass index: (1) metabolically healthy non-obese (MHN); (2) metabolically healthy obese (MHO); (3) metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUN); and (4) metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO). Participants were followed for six to eight years for new incidences of depression. The statistical significance of the general characteristics of the four groups, as well as the mean differences in metabolic syndrome risk factors, was assessed with the use of a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). (3) Results: The MHN ratio in women was higher than in men (men 39.3%, women 55.2%). In both men and women, depression incidence was the highest among MUO participants (odds ratio (OR) = 1.01 in men; OR = 1.09 in women). It was concluded as well that, among the risk factors of metabolic syndrome, waist circumference was the most related to depression. Among the four groups, the MUO phenotype was the most related to depression. Furthermore, in women participants, MHO is also related to a higher risk of depressive symptoms. These findings indicate that MHO is not a totally benign condition in relation to depression in women. (4) Conclusion: Therefore, reducing metabolic syndrome and obesity patients in Korea will likely reduce the incidence of depression.

The Relationship

Abstract BackgroundMetabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationshipbetween metabolic syndrome and dementia has remained controversial. Using nationwide population cohort data, we investigated the associationbetween metabolic syndrome and dementia,according to the dementia type.MethodsWe analyzed data of 84,144 individuals,in the aged group of more than 60 years,between January 1, 2009,to December 31, 2009, at Gangwon province by using the information of the(Korean) National Health Insurance Service. After eight years of gap, in 2017, we investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome and dementia. We classified Dementia either as dementia of the Alzheimer type (AD) or vascular dementia (VD). AD and VD were defined according to criteria in the International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes.ResultsMetabolic syndrome was associated with AD, while it was not associated with VD. All five components of metabolic syndrome were associated with AD, independently. However, among components of metabolic syndrome, only the high glucose level was associated with VD. Body Mass Index (BMI), fasting glucose and smoking were also associated with AD. A history of the previous stroke was associated with both AD and VD.ConclusionsMetabolic syndrome was associated with AD, while was not associated with VD. VD was associated only with several risk factors that could affect the vascular state rather than a metabolic syndrome. We suggested that the effect of metabolic syndrome on dementia would be different depending on the type of dementia.

Abstract Introduction Metabolic syndrome is known to increase the risk of several cancers. However, the association between lung cancer and metabolic syndrome remains unclear. Thus, we investigated the impact of metabolic syndrome on the incidence of lung cancer. Methods This study enrolled participants in a health screening program provided by the Korean National Health Insurance Service between January 2009 and December 2012. The incidence of lung cancer was observed until December 2016. We analyzed the risk of lung cancer according to the presence of metabolic syndrome, metabolic syndrome components, and number of metabolic syndrome components. Results During the study, 45 635 new cases of lung cancer were recorded among 9 586 753 participants. The presence of metabolic syndrome and all its components was positively associated with the risk of lung cancer in men after multivariate adjustment (hazard ratio [HR] of metabolic syndrome 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-1.18). The risk of lung cancer increased with the number of components present. The effect of metabolic syndrome on the increasing risk of lung cancer is may be higher in underweight male ever-smokers than in other participants. Conclusion Metabolic syndrome was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in men. Moreover, the higher the number of metabolic syndrome components, the higher the risk of lung cancer.
