Abstract Background: Age at menarche (AAM) affects women's health outcomes and could be a risk factor for some diseases such as Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). We assessed the association between age at menarche and metabolic syndrome components (obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease) in women aged 35 to 70 years in Hoveyzeh, southwest Iran.Methods: This is a case-control study conducted on 5830 women 35 to 70 years in Hoveyzeh cohort study (HCS), a part of the PERSIAN cohort study, between 2016 to 2018. The case group were women with MetS while the controls were women without MetS. Metabolic syndrome is determined based on standard NCEP-ATP III criteria. Demographic, socioeconomic and reproductive history data were gathered face to face by trained interviews. Also, lab, anthropometrics and blood pressure measurements were assayed for participants. Multiple Logistic Regression was used to estimate the association between age at menarche and metabolic syndrome, with adjustment for potential confounding variables.Results: The overall mean age at menarche was 12.60 ± 1.76 years old. Urban and rural women differed in their age at menarche (at age 12.58±1.71 and 12.63±1.83 years, respectively). Comparison of the four menarche age groups (≤10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 years) was statistically different showed between age at menarche and MetS. The odds of having metabolic syndrome for groups with menarche age of 13-14 years and 16-15 years, compared to women with a menstrual age ≤10 years, decreased by 21% and 20%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study showed the effect of age at menarche on odds of having MetS in women 35-70 years.

Background. This study investigated the associations of fitness and fatness with metabolic syndrome in rural women, part of a recognized US health disparities group.Methods. Fitness, percentage body fat, BMI, and metabolic syndrome criteria were assessed at baseline in 289 rural women with prehypertension, ages 40–69, enrolled in a healthy eating and activity community-based clinical trial for reducing blood pressure.Results. Ninety (31%) women had metabolic syndrome, of which 70% were obese by BMI (≥30 kg/m2), 100% by percentage body fat (≥30%), and 100% by revised BMI standards (≥25 kg/m2) cited in current literature. Hierarchical logistic regression models, adjusted for age, income, and education, revealed that higher percentage body fat (P< 0.001) was associated with greater prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Alone, higher fitness lowered the odds of metabolic syndrome by 7% (P< 0.001), but it did not lower the odds significantly beyond the effects of body fat. When dichotomized into “fit” and “unfit” groups, women categorized as “fat” had lower odds of metabolic syndrome if they were “fit” by 75% and 59%, for percentage body fat and revised BMI, respectively.Conclusion. Among rural women with prehypertension, obesity and fitness were associated with metabolic syndrome. Obesity defined as ≥25 kg/m2produced results more consistent with percentage body fat as compared to the ≥30 kg/m2definition.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the impact of urbanisation on the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults.DesignAs part of a community-based cross-sectional survey conducted in 2002, a sample from rural and urban populations in East China was obtained. The metabolic syndrome is defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria (ATP III) and the modified ATP III, which recommended a lower waist circumference cut-off for Asians.SettingField sites in Jiangxi and Anhui provinces and the Jing'an District of Shanghai, China.SubjectsA total of 529 non-pregnant, non-lactating urban and rural adults, aged 20–64 years without diagnosed diabetes.ResultsDwelling in urban areas was associated with higher dietary fat intake and slightly lower total energy intake, and with significantly lower occupational physical activity. Using the ATP III criteria, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was significantly higher for urban than rural men (12.7 vs. 1.7%, P < 0.001), and was similar between urban and rural women (10.1 vs. 9.7%, P = 0.17). These urban–rural differences were greatly enhanced when the modified ATP III criteria for the syndrome were used, for men (34.3 vs. 2.7%, P < 0.01) and women (24.1 vs. 11.4%, P = 0.07). The Asian waist circumference cut-offs (90 and 80 cm for men and women, respectively) had a better combination of sensitivity and specificity in identifying other metabolic disorders, which included high glucose, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, for this population.ConclusionFor the Chinese population, urban dwelling was associated with higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, especially in men.
