Background. Among lifestyle factors, obesity has been postulated as the most important risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MS). Lifestyle factors such as physical activity (PA), diet quality, and weight management are so closely related, it is not clear if the role of lifestyle factors is exclusively through its effect on weight, or if they contribute independently. Objective. To examine the effect of lifestyle factors such as diet quality, weight change, and leisure time PA on MS occurrence in lean and overweight/obese (OW/OB) adults over a 6-year period. Methods. This was a longitudinal analysis of data from adults participating in the Health Workers Cohort Study. Results. A total of 1046 participants were included; 37.2% of the OW/OB group and 16.2% of the lean participants developed MS. Becoming overweight had a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.06 for developing MS compared with remaining lean (95% CI = 1.98, 4.74). Going from OW/OB to lean was associated with lower risk of MS (HR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.22, 0.79). Among OW/OB, becoming active was associated with lower risk (HR = 0.63; 95% CI = 0.42, 0.95) in comparison with an inactive pattern; diet quality was not associated with occurrence of MS. Conclusion. Weight change was the most relevant factor predicting MS over a 6-year period.

Healthy lifestyle factors, such as physical activity (PA) and Mediterranean diet (MD), decrease the likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to report main lifestyle components and related factors according to the MetS severity. Cross-sectional analysis was done of baseline lifestyle factors from 5739 participants with overweight/obesity and MetS features (aged 55–75 years) included in the PREDIMED-PLUS primary cardiovascular prevention randomized trial. Participants were categorized in tertiles according to a validated MetS severity score (MetSSS). Anthropometrics, visceral adiposity index, dietary nutrient intake, biochemical marker levels, as well as a Dietary Inflammatory Index and depression symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-II) were measured. Diet quality was assessed using a 17-item energy-restricted MD questionnaire. Duration and intensity of PA was self-reported using the Minnesota-REGICOR Short Physical Activity Questionnaire. Sedentary behaviours were measured using the Spanish version of the Nurses’ Health Study questionnaire. The 30 s chair stand test was also assessed. Participants with highest MetSSS showed higher values of cardiovascular risk factors (except for total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol), depression risk, sedentary and TV viewing time, and lower moderate and vigorous leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). Highest MetSSS participants tended to a pro-inflammatory dietary pattern and tended to lower MD adherence. In addition, they showed lower carbohydrate and nut intake and higher intake of protein, saturated and trans fatty acids, cholesterol, iodine, sodium, red and processed meat products, other oils different from olive oil and spirit alcoholic drinks. The highest MetS severity score was associated with lower moderate and vigorous LTPA and higher sedentary time and depression risk, as they tended to a pro-inflammatory dietary pattern and lower MD adherence.

Abstract Objectives Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of abnormalities including abdominal obesity that increases risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. MetS affects ∼10% of US adolescents, but more may be at risk. The MetS severity z-score (MetS-z) is a continuous measure that may be useful for indicating MetS risk. Preventing at-risk adolescents from developing MetS may be achievable through changes in lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship of lifestyle-related factors with MetS-z in adolescents. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of adolescents (12 to 19 y) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2016. MetS-z was calculated from sex- and race-specific equations developed for adolescents. Sagittal Abdominal Diameter (SAD, representing abdominal visceral fat) was obtained using NHANES standard procedures. Dietary intake was estimated via two 24-hour diet recall interviews and used to calculate the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 total (range 0–100) and component scores (range 0–10) indicating diet quality. Physical activity (PA, minutes/week of voluntary moderate or vigorous exercise) was reported by participants to trained interviewers and used to determine adherence to national PA guidelines of at least 60 min/day. Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship of HEI scores, SAD and physical activity with MetS-z. Results Sample size was 1291 (49% female, 50% white) adolescents. Means (SEM) were: Age, 15.4 y (0.09); BMI z-score, 0.63 (0.04); MetS-z, −0.08 (0.03); SAD, 18.3 cm (0.14); and HEI score, 47.4 (0.46). Median min/week of PA was 178.5, with 30.4% of adolescents meeting PA guidelines. The final model (R2 = 0.53) included age, SAD (β = 0.17, P < 0.0001), HEI score (β = −0.003, P = 0.09), and physical activity (β = −0.005, P = 0.69). Conclusions US adolescents consume a poor-quality diet and less than half meet physical activity guidelines, yet as a group they have a MetS z-score <0, indicating low overall risk. SAD had a significant, positive association with MetS-z. While physical activity and diet were not significant in the model, results suggest the need for improvement of overall diet quality to potentially reduce risk of MetS and related chronic diseases in youth.

BackgroundThe prevalence of MS among children and adolescents continues to rise, which has become an escalating serious health issue worldwide. It had been reported that maternal current lifestyle had a strong independent correlation with offspring health. However, it is not clear whether comprehensive lifestyle of mother has an impact on the MS risk in offspring and the role of offspring’s lifestyle in it.Methods and ResultsWe included 4,837 mother-child pairs from a multi-centered cross-sectional study conducted in China. The information of maternal lifestyle was obtained by self-reported questionnaire, and metabolic syndrome (MS) in offspring was determined by anthropometric measurements and blood tests. Logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the association between maternal lifestyle and risk of MS in offspring. We found maternal healthy lifestyle was independently associated with lower risk of offspring MS, and the risk of MS in offspring decreased with the increased number of maternal ideal lifestyle factors. Although adolescents’ lifestyle did not fully explain the relationship between maternal lifestyle and risk of offspring MS, compared with those had less ideal lifestyle factors in both mothers and offspring, the risk of offspring MS was lower in those had more ideal lifestyle factors in both mothers and adolescents.ConclusionsHealthy lifestyle in mothers was associated with a lower risk of MS in offspring, which was independent of offspring’s lifestyle. These findings support mother-based lifestyle intervention could be an effective strategy to reduce the MS risk in adolescents.

The link between psoriasis and sport is a controversial issue. The topic has been poorly investigated, and nowadays there are many unsolved questions, dealing with the role of psoriasis in influencing the sporting habits of patients and, vice versa, the impact of sport activity on course, severity and extent of the disease, with particular regard to the indirect benefits on cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the role of physical activity on patients’ quality of life and the potential limitations on physical activity due to joint involvement have not been well elucidated until now. In this narrative review we will try to provide answers to these queries.

Abstract Background Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity and greater weight gain than women without PCOS. The association of lifestyle factors with weight change in PCOS is not known. Methods We used data from the 1973-78 birth cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health collected from seven surveys over 19 years (N = 14127 survey 1). Linear mixed-effects models were used to examine associations between diet, physical activity, and sitting time with weight change, after adjustment for socio-demographics, psychological factors, and health care utilisation. Results Women with PCOS gained more weight annually (0·26 kg/year, 95% CI 0·13, 0·39; P &lt; 0·0001) and over 19 years (4·75 kg; 95% CI 3·17, 6·34; P &lt; 0·0001) than women without PCOS (adjusted analyses). For all women, there were positive associations between weight gain and energy intake, sitting time, and stress; inverse associations with fibre intake and physical activity; and no associations with diet quality, glycemic index, healthcare utilization, depression, or anxiety. There were interactions between lifestyle factors (energy intake P = 0·006, glycemic index P = 0·007, sitting time P = 0·029, and physical activity P = 0·022), PCOS status and time (age) such that weight gain varied between women with and without PCOS according to these factors. Conclusions Women with PCOS had a higher rate of weight gain than women without PCOS. This was most marked in those with indicators of unhealthy lifestyles. Increased stress, energy intake and sitting time and lower physical activity contributed to weight gain in women with and without PCOS. Key messages The findings reinforce the importance of early and ongoing lifestyle intervention and the potential use of specific lifestyle factors for weight gain prevention and management in PCOS.

AbstractObjectiveTo ascertain the prevalence of and association between main lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking) in students from the Balearic Islands University.DesignA cross-sectional, descriptive study. A questionnaire including questions on lifestyle, dietary habits and physical activity habits was administered to the students. Four different diet quality scores were calculated (Diet Diversity Score, Mediterranean Diet Score, Dietary Guidelines Score and Global Dietary Guidelines Score).SettingA sample of students from the Balearic Islands University.SubjectsNine hundred and eighty-seven students (45·5 % males; mean age 21·5 (sd 3·3) years).ResultsThe dietary pattern of the student population was characterized by a low consumption of cereals and tubers, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, legumes and nuts, and a high consumption of processed meat, sweets, snacks, soft drinks and pastries. Linear, positive and statistically significant correlations were found between the number of meals consumed daily and all of the diet quality scores determined. Determinants of diet quality, both in the univariate and multivariate analyses, were physical activity practice, sex, age and number of meals consumed daily.ConclusionsRisk factors such as smoking, diet and physical inactivity had a tendency of clustering among Spanish university students. Overall diet quality was low, due to important departures from dietary recommendations and loss of the traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern. Nutritional education campaigns that include promotion of physical activity practice are needed to improve the overall health status of this population.

Worldwide, there is a large difference in cancer rates. These rates may change over generations when people move from one part of the world to another. This occurs because these generations adapt their lifestyle to that of the host country, indicating that lifestyle factors are important in the aetiology of cancer. In this chapter an overview of established associations between body fatness, physical activity, diet, and other lifestyle factors and the development of cancer is given. About one-third of all cancers worldwide are caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Evidence-based recommendations for the general population to decrease their risk of cancer have been set. Guidelines for individuals who are diagnosed with cancer, however, are lacking, due to limited evidence on the role of lifestyle during and after cancer treatment. Research should now be directed towards the role of body fatness, physical activity, diet, and other lifestyle factors in cancer progression.
