Abstract ObjectiveMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifactorial disease and its exact causes are not completely clear. Micronutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium have been reported to play a role in the improvement of MetS components. We therefore aimed to investigate the association of nutrient adequacy with MetS components.ResultsOf the 850 study subjects, the mean BMI and waist circumference were 27.87 kg/m2 and 92.08 cm respectively, with prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 12.12%. Compared with the least quartile, participants in the highest quartile had a significantly higher scores for general (p=0004) and abdominal (p=0.003) obesity. Overall adequacy of nutrients significantly increased across the quartiles. Energy and all nutrient intakes except for dietary fiber, vitamin B3, and iron were observed to significantly differ among the study groups. In this study, we observed no association between nutrient adequacy and the overall measure of MetS. However, we found a significant positive correlation between the nutrient adequacy and waist circumference, even after all potential covariates were controlled for (p<0.001).

Abstract Background India is currently facing a rising epidemic of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Identification of modifiable risk factors is of paramount importance to curb this menace. Fishermen are one of the most vulnerable occupational groups with unique characteristics that make them prone to acquire NCDs, as a significant share of their life is spent at sea. Hence, this study was planned to ascertain the burden of NCDs, determine various risk factors of NCDs, and measure the association between risk factors and NCDs among fishermen of Coastal Karnataka in South India. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 681 fishermen aged 18 years and above as per the semi-structured interview schedule for two years (2017–2019). A convenience sampling strategy was adopted. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS v.15.0. The results were described in terms of proportions and their 95% confidence intervals. Continuous data were summarized using the mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range depending on the skewness of data. Chi-square test was used to study the association between NCDs and modifiable risk factors. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify risk factors of NCDs. Results The mean (SD) age of the population was 42.5 (SD 12.5) years. The mean years involved in fishing was 19.8 years (SD 10.9). More than half (59.5%) of the study participants had severe stress and most (80.3%) were ever substance users. Advancing age, not being able to contact family while at sea, poor dietary practice, ever substance use, increasing waist circumference were significant correlates of NCDs. Conclusions The commonly prevalent risk factors of NCDs among fishermen included poor dietary practice, higher stress levels, substance use, increasing waist circumference, and inability to contact with family while at sea. Hypertension and Diabetes were the two common NCDs in the study population. There is a need for immediate attention in managing NCDs’ risk factors by promoting a healthy lifestyle by primary health care providers through a sustainable community awareness program targeting fishermen at a convenient time and location, either at the sea-port or meeting places. Harmful effects of substance use, healthy dietary practices, and the importance of physical activity outside their job need emphasis. In addition, screening programs should be organized with the help of boat owners and fishing associations at-least once a year to pick up NCDs at an early stage.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a widespread disorder and an important public health challenge. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between salt taste perception, Mediterranean diet and MetS. This cross-sectional study included 2798 subjects from the general population of Dalmatia, Croatia. MetS was determined using the Joint Interim Statement definition, and Mediterranean diet compliance was estimated using Mediterranean Diet Serving Score. Salt taste perception was assessed by threshold and suprathreshold testing (intensity and hedonic perception). Logistic regression was used in the analysis, adjusting for important confounding factors. As many as 44% of subjects had MetS, with elevated waist circumference as the most common component (77%). Higher salt taste sensitivity (lower threshold) was associated with several positive outcomes: lower odds of MetS (OR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.52–0.92), lower odds for elevated waist circumference (0.47; 0.27–0.82), elevated fasting glucose or diabetes (0.65; 0.45–0.94), and reduced HDL cholesterol (0.59; 0.42–0.84), compared to the higher threshold group. Subjects with lower salt taste threshold were more likely to consume more fruit, and less likely to adhere to olive oil and white meat guidelines, but without a difference in the overall Mediterranean diet compliance. Salt taste intensity perception was not associated with any of the investigated outcomes, while salty solution liking was associated with MetS (OR = 1.85, CI 95% 1.02–3.35). This study identified an association between salt taste perception and MetS and gave a new insight into taste perception, nutrition, and possible health outcomes.

Introduction: The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a multifactorial disease associated with central obesity, hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia and impaired glucose tolerance. Low grade inflammatory and a prothrombotic state are also involved in MS. Aim: To explore the demographic and biochemical parameters of participants with MS in Terai region of Nepal using community based cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out during September 2019-December 2019 in adult participants with central obesity (n=378) selected from three districts of Terai region of Nepal. International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria were used to define MS. The C-reactive protein-ultra sensitive, fibrinogen, and apolipoprotein-B were estimated as inflammatory, prothrombotic, and atherogenic dyslipidemia markers, respectively. Results: The MS was present in 283 participants with central obesity. The mean (±SD) age, height, weight, and BMI of the participants with MS were 46.36±12.52 years, 5.56±0.11 feet, 66.54±13.45 kg and 27.28±4.98 kg/m2, respectively. The mean (±SD) of biochemical factors were significantly different than their respective normal ranges: decreased serum High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in mg/dL (male: 34.50±9.93, p<0.001, female: 36.77±7.28, p<0.001), raised serum triglycerides level- 184.96±85.72 mg/dL (p<0.001), and impaired fasting serum glucose level 108.14±48.27 mg/dL (p=0.002). Significant increase in inflammatory (CRP-US: 1.12±2.17 mg/L, p<0.001), prothrombotic (fibrinogen: 3.42±1.04 gm/L, p<0.001) and atherogenic dyslipidemia marker (Apo-B: 149.35±59.13 mg/dL, p=0.003) from normal values were observed in subjects with MS. Conclusion: Lowered serum HDL cholesterol, increased triglycerides followed with impaired fasting glucose tolerance were observed as the major abnormal biochemical parameters and increased inflammatory and prothrombotic activities were present among participants with MS.

Abstract Background: Inappropriate sleep duration (shorter/longer than optimal sleep duration) has come to be identified as a potential cardiometabolic risk factor, and thereby, as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Few data exist regarding the gender differences in the relationship between sleep duration and cardiometabolic risk.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a study population of 9262 apparently healthy (5004 male, 4258 female) subjects at the Health Planning Center of Nihon University Hospital between September, 2015, and October 2016.Results: In the male subjects, as compared to a sleep duration of 6 to 7 hours, a sleep duration of ³8 hours was associated with an odds ratio (OR) for abdominal obesity (defined according to the Japanese criteria for metabolic syndrome as a waist circumference of ³85 cm) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.004-1.71) and for a non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of ³150 mg/dL (defined as “Borderline hyper” by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for Prevention of ASCVD 2017) of 1.33 (1.05-1.68), and a sleep duration of <5 hours was associated with an OR (95% CI) for a fasting blood glucose of ³100 mg/dL (defined as “high” by a specialized lifestyle checkup program for the detection of symptoms of metabolic syndrome in Japan) of 1.74 (1.25-2.42). On the other hand, in the female subjects, as compared to a sleep duration of 6 to 7 hours, a sleep duration of <5 hours was associated with an OR (95% CI) for abdominal obesity (waist circumference ³90 cm) of 1.98 (1.11-3.55) and for a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of ³5.6 % of 1.52 (1.10-2.10), whereas a sleep duration of ³8 hours was not associated with worsening of any of the examined cardiometabolic risk factors. Conclusions: There may be gender differences in the relationship between sleep duration and cardiometabolic risk. To further reduce the risk of ASCVD, it may be of particular importance to emphasize adequate sleep duration.Clinical Trial Registration: UMIN (http://www.umin.ac.jp/) Study ID:　 UMIN000037643 retrospectively registered on 9 August 2019

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Hot flashes have a negative impact on the quality of life of women during the menopausal transition and thereafter. The progressive reduction in gonadal estrogen levels associated with aging promotes an accumulation of abdominal fat, dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension, all of which are components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of hot flashes and evaluate their relationship with MetS in women ≥ 40 years of age. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving women aged between 40 and 65 years. We used the Kupperman index to quantify the climacteric symptoms and the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for the diagnosis of MetS. RESULTS: 1,435 women were initially selected, and we obtained information from 647. The mean age at menopause was 45.99 years (SD 6.61 years) and the prevalence of hot flashes and MetS were 55.83% (95% CI: 52.35-59.25%) and 46.29% (95% CI: 44.75-52.53%), respectively. We identified a positive association between MetS and hot flashes (OR 1.16; 95% CI: 1.01-1.33). CONCLUSIONS: In women ≥ 40 years of age, hot flashes are highly prevalent and appear to be associated with MetS.

Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction, as defined by the International Consultation on Sexual Medicine, is the consistent and recurrent inability to acquire or sustain an erection of sufficient rigidity and duration to engage in satisfactory sexual intercourse. Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of MetS among patients with ED. Patients and Methods This was a cross sectional study conducted on 200 patients attending the Andrology clinic of Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology department, Ain-Shams University starting from March 2019 till December 2019. The 15-question IIEF Questionnaire is a validated, multi- dimensional, self-administered investigation that has been found useful in the clinical assessment of ED and treatment outcomes in clinical trials. Results The mean ± SD of age of patients with ED in our study was 58.3 ± 20.1 years. Out of the 200 patients, 110(55%) of them had BMI (25-29.9). and over 30 in 35(17.5%) patients. The mean ± SD of WC was 41.4±4.9 inches. Among the 200 patients, hypertension was present in 125(62.5%) and smoking in 165 (82.5%) patients. Among the 200 patients, 96 (48%) patients had MetS. Among 200 patients, 90 (45 %) had mild, 54 (27.0 %) had moderate. and 56 (28 %) had severe ED. A significant association was determined between the presence of MetS and severity of ED. The prevalence of moderate and severe ED was significantly higher in patients with MetS than patients without MetS. There was a negative significant correlation between IIEF scores and age, systolic BP, and diastolic BP. Conclusion Among the 200 patients, 96 (48%) patients had MetS. Incidence of moderate to severe ED was higher among patients with MetS versus those without. There was a negative significant correlation between IIEF scores and age, systolic BP, and diastolic BP.

Aim: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) diagnosed in the dialysis patients is increasingly reported which worsens the prognosis of the renal diseases. The relationship of SCD1 with MetS is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between SCD1 polymorphism and MetS in dialysis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 323 Chinese dialysis patients, and the correlation between the seven SNPs of SCD1 gene (rs10883465, rs2060792, rs1502593, rs522951, rs3071, rs3978768 and rs1393492) and MetS was analyzed. Results: One tag-SNP (rs1393492) has significantly associated with the prevalence of MetS. Dialysis patients with rs1393492 AA genotype of SCD1 are more prone to MetS (p = 0.021). Conclusion: This study shows that the rs1393492 variations of SCD1 gene are related with the development of MetS in Chinese dialysis patients.
