Abstract Background: Whole-grain intake assessed through dietary recording methods has been suggested to be inversely associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in several epidemiological studies. However, limited studies have evaluated the association between whole-grain intake and MetS risk when using objective biomarkers of whole-grain intake. The aim of this study was to examine the association between plasma 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid (DHPPA), a biomarker of whole-grain wheat and rye intake, and MetS risk in a Chinese population.Methods: A case-control study of 667 MetS cases and 667 matched controls was conducted based on baseline data of the Tongji-Ezhou Cohort study. Plasma DHPPA concentrations were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. MetS was determined using definition of the Joint Interim Statement.Results: Plasma DHPPA was inversely associated with MetS risk. After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol drinking status, physical activity and education level, the odds ratios (ORs) for MetS across increasing quartiles of plasma DHPPA concentrations were 1 (referent), 0.86 (0.58-1.26), 0.77 (0.52-1.15), and 0.59 (0.39-0.89), respectively. The inverse relation between plasma DHPPA and MetS persisted in stratified analyses according to confounding factors. In addition, the cubic spline analysis revealed a potential nonlinear association between plasma DHPPA and MetS, with a steep reduction in the risk at the lower range of plasma DHPPA concentration.Conclusions: Our study revealed that higher plasma DHPPA concentrations were associated with lower odds of MetS. Our findings provided further evidence to support health benefits of whole grain consumption.

ObjectiveCentral obesity predisposes to various cardiometabolic diseases and is a key component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We have previously demonstrated that three obesity-susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs10938397 (GNPDA2), rs8050136 (FTO) and rs17782313 (MC4R), were associated with obesity and waist circumference in cross-sectional studies in the Chinese population. In this study, we investigate whether these SNPs could also predict the persistence of central obesity and MetS in subjects from the Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factors Prevalence Study (CRISPS) cohort.Design and methodsWe genotyped these SNPs in i) 354 subjects with and 994 subjects without central obesity at both baseline and a 12-year follow-up, ii) 2214 subjects (816 cases and 1398 controls) in an MetS cross-sectional case–control study and iii) 225 subjects with and 1221 subjects without MetS at both baseline and the 12-year follow-up.ResultsBoth FTO rs8050136 (Page, sex-adjusted=0.019; odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence intervals (CI)): 1.35 (1.05, 1.73)) and GNPDA2 rs10938397 (Page, sex-adjusted=3×10−3; OR (95% CI): 1.34 (1.11, 1.63)) were significantly associated with persistent central obesity. GNPDA2 rs10938397 was also significantly associated with MetS (Page, sex-adjusted=0.011, OR (95% CI): 1.20 (1.04, 1.38)) in the case–control study. However, none of these SNPs showed an individual association with persistent MetS. In the combined genetic risk analyses for persistent central obesity and persistent MetS, the combined genetic risk score of the three SNPs showed an OR of 1.25 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.42; Page, sex-adjusted=4.92×10−3) and 1.19 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.38; Page, sex-adjusted=0.019) for each additional risk allele respectively.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that FTO and GNPDA2 variants predicted persistent central obesity in the Chinese population, further supporting their importance as obesity-susceptible genes.

Abstract Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory disorder of pancreas. Recent evidence has shown that metabolic syndrome was positively correlated with the severity of AP. However, only few studies have revealed the relationship between metabolic syndrome and the occurrence of AP. We therefore elucidated the association between the metabolic syndrome components and the incidence rate of AP. Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted. 705 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were included in the study. Subjects were divided into case and control group according to their diagnosis: (1) According to the revised Atlanta classification from 2012, patients diagnosed as AP were enrolled into case group. (2) Patients without history of AP or any disease related to metabolic syndrome were allocated into control group. Controls were matched to cases individually by sex and age (control/case ratio=1). Risk factors were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The incidence rate of metabolic syndrome with AP patients was 30.9%, which was more frequent than controls (13.2%) (OR=2.975; 95%CI 1.947-4.548, p<0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, histories of smoking or alcohol drinking, biliary stone were important predictors of AP. Besides, occurrence of AP was significantly associated with total cholesterol (TC) (OR=1.831; 95%CI 1.137-2.948, p=0.013), triglyceride (TG) (OR=2.058; 95%CI 1.332-3.179, p=0.001), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (OR =2.345; 95%CI 1.395-3.940, p=0.001), as well as low values of apolipoprotein A (Apo A) (OR =0.247; 95%CI 0.146-0.416, p<0.001). Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome and its components portend high risks of occurrence of AP.

Background/Aim. Increasing epidemiological studies suggest the association between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to assess the association of metabolic syndrome and its components with psoriasis in a sample of patients from Montenegro, and to predict the factors that determine the metabolic syndrome. Methods. A case-control study was conducted at the Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology, Clinical Center of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro, between January and December 2012. The study group included 101 patients with psoriasis (cases) and 126 patients with the diagnosis of dermatological disease other than psoriasis (controls) consecutively admitted to the same clinic. Results. Metabolic syndrome was more prevalent in the psoriasis patients than in the controls (48.5% vs 20.6%; OR = 2.99). In addition, the psoriasis patients were significantly more likely to be smokers (OR = 2.16) and were less physically active (OR = 0.58). Conclusion. The results of this study demonstrate a strong association between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome independent of psoriasis severity. Patients with psoriasis should be routinely screened for metabolic syndrome and its components.

ABSTRACT Background Epidemiologic studies on whole grains and risk of stroke have reported inconsistent results, with some suggesting a protective effect but others showing a null association. Objectives The aim of this study was to examine whether plasma 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid (DHPPA), a biomarker of whole-grain wheat and rye intake, is associated with risk of ischemic stroke. Methods A hospital-based case-control study was conducted between March 2011 and May 2016. Cases (n = 990) with first ischemic stroke were matched to controls (n = 990) by sex and age. Concentrations of plasma DHPPA were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. We calculated ORs for the association of plasma DHPPA concentrations with ischemic stroke risk through the use of logistic regression. Results Plasma DHPPA was inversely associated with ischemic stroke risk. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the ORs for ischemic stroke across increasing quartiles of plasma DHPPA concentrations were 1 (referent), 0.76 (95% CI: 0.58, 0.99), 0.71 (95% CI: 0.54, 0.92), and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.45, 0.77), respectively (P-trend = 0.001). The inverse association was also observed in all subgroups of participants according to sex, age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes. Conclusions Our study showed that higher plasma DHPPA concentrations were associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke. This finding provides further evidence to support the health benefits of whole-grain consumption.

Abstract Background: According to some studies, the metabolic syndrome causes diverse primary cancers; however, there is no evidence about metabolic syndrome impact on second cancers development in women. Aim: To find out the implication of the modified metabolic syndrome in women with second cancers. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study, at a general hospital in Mexico City, in women with second cancers (cases) and age-matched women with only one neoplasm (controls). The analysis comprised: Tumor (s), anthropometric features, and body mass index (BMI); moreover, presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and fasting serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose. Results: The sample was of nine cases and 27 controls. In cases, the metabolic syndrome (diabetes mellitus or glucose > 99 mg/dL + hypertension or blood pressure ≥ 135/85 mm Hg + triglycerides > 149 mg/dL or BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) was more frequent (odds ratio 20.8, 95% confidence interval: 1.9-227.1). Conclusion: Our results suggest that in women, the modified metabolic syndrome may be a risk factor for second cancers.
