Background: The impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the efficacy of PCI remains controversial. Hypothesis: This controversy may be due in part to a positive influence of obesity (the “obesity paradox”) among the factors included in the definition of MetS. Fat distribution also varies by sex, possibly confounding the impact of obesity. Methods: To elucidate the possible effects of obesity in MetS patients on in-stent restenosis (ISR) or target lesion revascularization (TLR), 546 patients treated with coronary stents (BMS or DES) were stratified according to the presence of MetS with or without obesity, using NCEP-ATP III guidelines. Waist circumference or BMI (in patients without waist circumference data) was used for diagnosis of obesity. Follow-up angiography was scheduled 8 to 9 months after PCI to obtain ISR, which was defined as %diameter stenosis (%DS)>50%. Results: Mean age of the subjects was 70.5±9.8 years, and 32.1% were female. By standard criteria, 286 patients (52.4%) were diagnosed as MetS, and 320 patients (58.6%) met criteria for obesity. Among MetS patients, 61 patients (21.3% of MetS patients) were categorized as non-obesity. At 8 to 9 months follow-up, % DS, ISR rates, and TLR rates had trends to be higher in MetS than no-MetS (ISR; 26.6% in MetS, 20.0% in non-MetS, p=0.085). These parameters showed no difference between obesity and non-obesity (ISR; 23.8% in obesity, 23.0% in non- obesity, p=0.918, TLR; 14.1% in obesity, 15.0% in non-obesity, p=0.805). In patients with MetS (Figure), however, the ratio of %DS and ISR were significantly greater in the absence of obesity in female patients, whereas no difference was observed in male patients. In multivariate analysis, non-obesity was an independent predictor for ISR or TLR in female patients with MetS. Conclusions: Overall, obesity was not related to ISR or TLR after PCI. In female MetS patients, however, comorbidity of obesity appeared to be paradoxically protective.

Introduction: Although the counterintuitive association between obesity and mortality has been termed the obesity paradox, the evaluation of obesity was inconsistent, and evidence for an obesity paradox among past studies has been also less consistent. Hypothesis: This inconsistency may be due, in part, to a discrepancy between central obesity, estimated by waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI) as patterns of adiposity. Methods: To elucidate the impact of obesity, 2817 subjects with both WC and BMI data were enrolled from the data of Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study (KICS), a multicenter registry, enrolling consecutive patients undergoing PCI in 15 centers from August 2008 to March 2011 in Japan. Subjects were stratified according to patterns of adiposity (WC or BMI), utilizing NCEP-ATPIII criteria and WHO classification. Results: Subjects’ mean age was 69.8 years, and 28% were female. There were 68 deaths during 12-month follow up. Although obesity defined by WC (ObWC) was associated with lower mortality compared with non-obesity (no-ObWC, p=0.013), no difference was shown between obesity, defined by BMI (ObBMI), and non-obesity (no-ObBMI) (p=0.201). When dividing into 4 categories based on high/low of WC and BMI, subjects with high WC and high BMI had the lowest mortality (1.6%) compared to other 3 categories (high WC low BMI; 1.7%, low WC high BMI; 2.4%, or low WC and low BMI; 3.1%). Kaplan-Meier analysis for all cause mortality showed a significant difference between ObWC and no-ObWC (Log Rank p=0.010), but comparable in BMI (ObOMI vs no-ObBMI, p=0.295). This discrepancy was also observed in the analysis for cardiac death (Figure). In multivariate analysis, in addition to age and CKD, ObWC was an independent predictor for the low mortality (OR; 0.582, 95% CI; 0.342-0.991, p=0.046). Conclusions: In Japanese patients with known CAD who undergo PCI, central obesity but not BMI is associated with the paradoxical protective effect of obesity.

Background: Little is known about hepatic steatosis (HS) incidence and its relationship to underlying or new-onset cardiometabolic risk. This study aims to assess the incidence of hepatic steatosis in an asymptomatic population and to determine its relationship to both prevalent and new-onset cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods: We analyzed retrospective data from a voluntary employer-sponsored routine health promotion evaluation at the Preventive Medicine Center of the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (São Paulo, Brazil) collected from October 2004 to December 2016.Medical and demographic history, anthropometric measures including blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, and fasting blood samples were obtained. Participants also had ultrasonography to assess for HS. We included data from 8,448 individuals who had complete cardiometabolic and ultrasound data at baseline and repeated all tests at least 6 months later. Results: The mean age (standard deviation, SD) of participants was 40 (9) years. Over a mean (SD) follow-up of 3.4 (2.3) years, the incidence of HS was 14.7%. As shown in the table, diabetes, poor physical activity, elevated waist circumference and cigarette smoking at baseline were independently associated with hepatic steatosis. There was an additive effect of the increasing cardiometabolic risk factors (see graph) on the risk of developing HS. Participants with new-onset cardiometabolic risk factors also had a higher risk of incident HS after accounting for baseline demographics and cardiometabolic risk factors (see forest plot). This was most pronounced for incident obesity (BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m 2 ). Conclusion: In this relatively young population, the incidence of HS was high and was both independently and collectively associated with baseline cardiometabolic risk. New-onset cardiometabolic risk tracks with incident HS. This study emphasizes the need for assessing and mitigating cardiometabolic risk in the prevention of HS.

Abstract Objectives Assess the impact of an 8-week Head Start family meals intervention (Simple Suppers) on participating caregiver's weight status and health outcomes. Methods This is a single arm pre- to post-test study. The intervention is occurring during the 2019–20 school year (fall, winter, and spring sessions) at 3 Head Start sites. Caregiver outcomes include: BMI (kg/m2), waist circumference (cm), blood pressure (mm Hg), and mental health measures (depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)), and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7))). Regression models factoring in attendance will be used to examine pre- to post-test changes. Results Nineteen caregivers completed data collection for the fall session. 55.6% of families were low-income and 21.1% had low/very low food security. Mean (SD) caregiver age was 37.6 (12.1) yr, 94.7% were female, and 84.2% were non-Hispanic Black. There were no significant changes in BMI, blood pressure, waist circumference, depression, or perceived stress from pre- to post-test according to attendance level, however anxiety significantly decreased with increasing attendance (P < 0.05). Data collection for the remaining sessions will be completed in spring 2020. Conclusions This study can be expected to have a positive impact by understanding the role of healthy family mealtime routines in caregiver's physical and mental health among racial minorities residing in low-income households.

Background. The health impact of youth mentors serving in the delivery of child nutrition and physical activity (PA) interventions on youth mentors themselves has been understudied. Objective. The primary objective of the current study was to examine the impact of engaging youth mentors in the delivery of a summertime childhood obesity prevention intervention on youth mentors’ behavioral health. Method. Data were collected at baseline and postintervention. A survey of validated nutrition, mental health, PA, and psychosocial questionnaires was administered. Diet was assessed via 24-hour recall. Height, weight, and waist circumference (WC) were measured. In-depth interviews were conducted with youth mentors. Results. Eleven youth mentors enrolled: 60% were female, mean age was 16.1 ± 0.38 years, and 100% were Black. Mean kilocalories ( p = .05), sugar-sweetened beverage intake ( p = .08), and waist circumference ( p = .04) decreased. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 youth mentors, and three themes emerged: perceived improvement in nutrition, PA, and mental health-related behaviors; formation of a positive role modeling relationship with the child campers; and strengthening of higher education goals and future career aspirations. Conclusions. Youth mentor staffing may be an important intervention strategy for changing health behaviors among youth mentors. Results from this study can be used to inform utilization of youth mentors in the delivery of this and similar health behavior interventions in the future.

Abstract Background Understanding determinants of metabolic risk has become a national priority given the increasingly high prevalence rate of this condition among U.S. adults. Purpose This study’s aim was to assess the impact of gene-by-neighborhood social environment interactions on waist circumference (WC) as a primary marker of metabolic risk in underserved African-American adults. Based on a dual-risk model, it was hypothesized that those with the highest genetic risk and who experienced negative neighborhood environment conditions would demonstrate higher WC than those with fewer risk factors. Methods This study utilized a subsample of participants from the Positive Action for Today’s Health environmental intervention to improve access and safety for walking in higher-crime neighborhoods, who were willing to provide buccal swab samples for genotyping stress-related genetic pathways. Assessments were conducted with 228 African-American adults at baseline, 12, 18, and 24 months. Results Analyses indicated three significant gene-by-environment interactions on WC outcomes within the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) genetic pathway. Two interactions supported the dual-risk hypotheses, including the SNS genetic risk-by-neighborhood social life interaction (b = −0.11, t(618) = −2.02, p = .04), and SNS genetic risk-by-informal social control interaction (b = −0.51, t(618) = −1.95, p = .05) on WC outcomes. These interactions indicated that higher genetic risk and lower social-environmental supports were associated with higher WC. There was also one significant SNS genetic risk-by-neighborhood satisfaction interaction (b = 1.48, t(618) = 2.23, p = .02) on WC that was inconsistent with the dual-risk pattern. Conclusions Findings indicate that neighborhood and genetic factors dually influence metabolic risk and that these relations may be complex and warrant further study.

Objective. Several studies have often reported low testosterone and SHBG to be associated with type 2 DM and the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Our objective was to determine the impact of metabolic syndrome and diabetic parameters on testosterone and SHBG in both MetS subjects and type 2 DM patients. Methods. In this study, 120 Yemeni male aged 30–70 years old were enrolled, 30 of whom were healthy subjects with BMI < 25 kg/m2 that served as control, 30 MetS, 30 type 2 DM without MetS, and 30 type 2 DM with MetS according to IDF criteria. Results. Testosterone (free and total) and SHBG were significantly lower in MetS subjects and modestly reduced in type 2 DM with and without MetS. Stepwise linear regression showed free and total testosterone to be negatively affected by waist circumference, and univariate analysis shows this significant difference to disappear when adjusted for waist circumference. On the other hand, stepwise linear regression showed SHBG to be positively affected by testosterone and age and negatively affected by FBG and TG. Univariate analysis shows this observed significant difference to disappear when adjusted for testosterone. Conclusion. Abdominal obesity is a major determinant of low testosterone levels irrespective of diabetes status. Thus, supporting evidence suggesting that the causative relationship between the often low testosterone and type 2 DM might be bidirectional or even multidirectional and interrelated with obesity, MetS, and IR.

Aim and Method. To examine in obese people the potential effectiveness of a six-week, two times weekly aquajogging program on body composition, fitness, health-related quality of life, and exercise beliefs. Fifteen otherwise healthy obese persons participated in a pilot study.Results. Total fat mass and waist circumference decreased 1.4 kg (P=.03) and 3.1 cm (P=.005), respectively. The distance in the Six-Minute Walk Test increased 41 meters (P=.001). Three scales of the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite questionnaire improved: physical function (P=.008), self-esteem (P=.004), and public distress (P=.04). Increased perceived exercise benefits (P=.02) and decreased embarrassment (P=.03) were observed.Conclusions. Aquajogging was associated with reduced body fat and waist circumference and improved aerobic fitness and quality of life. These findings suggest the usefulness of conducting a randomized controlled trial with long-term outcome assessments.
