BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is associated with an increased risk for cerebrovascular disease. However, the effects of three community-deliverable lifestyle interventions [diet (D), aerobic exercise (E), or both (DE)] on non-HDL-C in adults are not known. The purpose of this study was to use the aggregate data meta-analytic approach to address this gap. METHODS: A priori study eligibility included randomized controlled trials >4 weeks that included a D, E, DE and control (C) group in adults >18 years of age in which data for total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were available for calculating non-HDL-C. Studies were retrieved by searching nine electronic databases, cross-referencing and expert review. Dual data selection and extraction were conducted. A mixed effects model was employed whereby a random-effects approach was used to combine effect size (ES) results within each subgroup while a fixed-effect approach was used to compare subgroups (Q b ). Heterogeneity was examined using the Q and I 2 statistics and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 while a trend for statistical significance was set between p >0.05 to < 0.10. RESULTS: Overall, a statistically significant exercise minus control group decrease in non-HDL-C was found for DE (7 ESs, 389 participants, mean, -11.1 mg/dl, 95% CI, -21.7 to -0.6, p =0.04, Q=2.4, p =0.88, I 2 =0%), a trend for the D group (7 ESs, 402 participants, mean, -8.5 mg/dl, 95% CI, -18.6 to 1.6, p =0.10, Q=0.76, p =0.99, I 2 =0%) and no change for the E group (7 ESs, 387 participants, mean, 3.0 mg/dl, 95% CI, -7.1 to 13.1, p =0.56, Q=0.78, p =0.99, I 2 =0%). Relative changes were -6.5%, -5.6%, and 0.8% respectively, for DE, D and E groups. Overall, no statistically significant between-group differences were found (Q b = 4.1, p = 0.12). There was a trend for decreases in non-HDL-C to be greater in the DE versus E group (Q b = 3.6, p = 0.06) with no statistically significant differences between D and E (Q b = 2.5, p = 0.12) or DE and D (Q b = 0.1, p = 0.72) groups. CONCLUSIONS: Combined DE reduces non-HDL-C in adults.

AbstractThe effects of fibrates on C-reactive protein (CRP) are controversial. This meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the available clinical trial evidence and summarize the effects of fibrates on CRP concentrations. In addition, this study assessed the relationship between changes in CRP and lipid measures.A systematic search was conducted of randomized controlled trials on the effects of fibrates on CRP concentrations in the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library Database up to January 2011. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effect model. Meta-regression analysis was employed to assess the relationships between average change in CRP and lipid profiles.Sixteen randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with placebo, treatment with fibrates significantly decreased CRP concentrations (weighted mean difference –0.47 mg/L, 95% confidence interval –0.93 to –0.01 mg/L, p=0.046). Fibrates significantly reduced CRP concentrations in trials with a higher baseline CRP concentrations (≥3 mg/L). There was a significant correlation between change in CRP and change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (regression coefficient or slope=–2.03, 95% CI –3.20 to –0.87, p=0.001).Fibrates can reduce CRP concentrations and change in CRP was correlated with change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol but not with triglyceride. These findings suggest that patients with dyslipidemia could benefit from fibrates treatment by CRP lowering and this benefit is associated with lipid profile improving.

Purpose. To use the meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of diet (D), aerobic exercise (E), or both (DE) on non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in adults. Methods. Randomized controlled trials in adults ≥18 years of age were included. A mixed-effect model was used to combine effect size (ES) results within each subgroup and to compare subgroups (Qb). Heterogeneity was examined using the Q and I2 statistics, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated. Statistical significance was set at P≤0.05, while a trend for statistical significance was set between P>0.05, and ≤0.10. Results. A statistically significant exercise minus control group decrease in non-HDL-C was found for DE (7 ESs, 389 participants, x¯=-11.1 mg/dL, 95%  CI=−21.7 to −0.6, P=0.04, Q=2.4, P=0.88, I2=0%), a trend for the D group (7 ESs, 402 participants, x¯=−8.5 mg/dL, 95%  CI=−18.6 to 1.6, P=0.10, Q=0.76, P=0.99, I2=0%), and no change for the E group (7 ESs, 387 participants, x¯=3.0 mg/dL, 95%   CI=−7.1 to 13.1, P=0.56, Q=0.78, P=0.99, I2=0%). Overall, no statistically significant between-group differences were found (Qb=4.1, P=0.12). Conclusions. Diet combined with aerobic exercise may reduce non-HDL-C among adults in some settings.

Increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) can improve endothelial function. This may help reduce cardiovascular risks and mortality. Evidence has been provided on the association between cardiometabolic traits, such as HDL-C and exercise modalities. However, there is the absence of studies investigating this association in Taiwan. We assessed the relationship between exercise type and HDL-C among Taiwanese adults. Data were collected from Taiwan Biobank (TWB), a national biomedical research database that contains the genetic information of ethnic Taiwanese residents gathered from 2008 to 2016. We enrolled 24,856 participants aged 30 to 70 years who completed a questionnaire about their recent health behaviors including smoking, drinking, and exercise. Regular exercise was categorized as non-aerobic exercise (separated as weight training, ball game, and mixed exercise) and strict aerobic exercise. Linear regression models were used to assess the effects of exercise in a questionnaire-based manner. After multivariate adjustments, HDL-C was positively associated with aerobic (β = 1.33748, p < 0.0001) and non-aerobic (β = 2.56210; p < 0.0001) exercise. Positive associations were also found for resistance training (β = 4.01828, p = 0.0020), ballgame (β = 2.43815, p = 0.0001), and mixed exercise (β = 2.47021, p < 0.0001). This study demonstrated that both aerobic and non-aerobic exercise have positive effects on HDL-C among Taiwanese adults. Among the non-aerobic exercise groups, resistance training had the greatest effect.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship of monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) with diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic nephropathy. Methods: This study included 262 Type-2 diabetes mellitus patients, of which 60 had diabetic nephropathy and 202 did not have diabetic nephropathy who presented to the internal diseases polyclinic at Firat University Medical Faculty Hospital between May 2018 and October 2018 and 50 healthy control subjects. A retrospective scan of patient files was conducted and information relevant to nephropathy such as hemoglobin, glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c), hematocrit count (HCT), monocyte count, LDL, HDL, triglyceride levels, and microvascular complications were acquired. Results: We determined MHR values as 11.9±5.5 and 8.4±2.9 respectively for the diabetic and healthy groups. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of MHR, with a positive correlation between diabetes and MHR (< 0.001; r: 0.241). Moreover, glucose, HDL, and triglyceride levels were different between the two groups with statistical significance (respectively, p< 0.001; p< 0.001; p< 0.001). Our study found higher MHR levels for patients with diabetic nephropathy compared to those without diabetic nephropathy (respectively, 17.1±7.9 and 10.3±3.3) and determined statistical significance and a negative correlation (p< 0.001; r: -0.512). Conclusion: Our results suggest that an elevated MHR can be a biomarker for diabetic nephropathy, allowing the detection of diabetic nephropathy with simple and inexpensive laboratory tests. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.534 How to cite this:Onalan E.

Background: The monotherapies of statin and ezetimibe had not successfully achieved their objectives in the management of lipid levels of dyslipidemia patients. We aimed to compare the effects of combined low-dose simvastatin and ezetimibe versus high-dose statin on the lipid-lowering treatment of dyslipidemia patients. Methods: We searched five databases published before May 2018, namely PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Clinicaltrials.gov. Completely published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effect of high-dose statin (S) with ezetimibe/simvastatin (10/10 mg; E/S) on the management of dyslipidemia patients were included. Results: A total of ten RCTs met the inclusion criteria, including 1,624 patients (E/S:691, S:933). Six outcomes underwent pooled analysis, including weighted mean difference (WMD) from baseline in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), triglyceride (TG), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (nonHDL-C). No significant gap was found between high-dose statin and ezetimibe/simvastatin (10/10 mg) in LDL-C (-1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]:-4.42~1.31, P=0 .29), HDL-C (1.05; 95%CI:-0.21~2.3, P=0 .1), TG (4.03; 95%CI:-4.53~12.58, P=0.36), and hs-CRP (0.14; 95%CI:-0.50~0.78, P=0.67). However, there was significant difference found between the two lipid-lowering treatments in TC (-0.45; 95%CI:-9.07~-0.83, P=0.02) and non-HDL-C (-4.97; 95%CI -8.46~-1.49, P=0.005). Conclusion: Ezetimibe co-administered with simvastatin (10 mg) and high-dose statin monotherapy may show similar effects in reducing LDL-C, TG, and hs-CRP levels and in increasing HDL-C levels. However, the results suggest that there was greater TC and non-HDL-C lowering through high-dose statin monotherapy as compared with ezetimibe/simvastatin co-administration.
