Introduction: There is emerging evidence that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) may play a role in human metabolism. Suppressed concentrations in BNP in obese individuals may contribute to clinical phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. There is limited data on the relation of BNP to metabolic syndrome in African Americans. Methods: To assess the association between plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and MetS risk factors in blacks, we analyzed cross-sectional data from 3,729 Jackson Heart Study participants free of heart failure (mean age, 54 years; 64% women). We performed sex-specific Tobit regression analysis on log transformed BNP to account for the left censored BNP distribution and adjusted for clinical and echocardiographic variables. Prevalence of MetS was 44% and 35% in women and men, respectively. We estimated percent changes for the underlying variables by back-transformation. Results: Plasma BNP concentration was inversely associated with metabolic syndrome components (fasting glucose and waist circumference in both men and women; and triglycerides in women). Sex-specific multivariable adjusted BNP concentrations were significantly lower in subjects with MetS than those without. In men, BNP concentration was 35% lower (P < 0.0001); and in women it was 31% lower (P < 0.0001). Men and women with insulin resistance represented by elevated homeostasis assessment model (HOMA-IR) index had significantly (P < 0.0001) lower BNP concentration compared to those with low HOMA-IR index. Discussion and Conclusion: We found in a community based cohort of African Americans a significant relation of low BNP concentration to MetS and individual components of MetS. This data supports a growing body of evidence that BNP plays a potential crucial role in total body metabolism.

Modifiable, behavioral risk factors like occupational sitting may contribute to inflammation, an important cardiovascular risk factor. This study evaluated the association of self-reported occupational sitting with changes in c-reactive protein (CRP) and the role of sex. We examined occupational sitting and baseline CRP levels for 2889 African American participants in the Jackson Heart Study. Four multivariable linear regression models were estimated to determine the association of occupational sitting and CRP. Analyses were conducted in 2020. The mean age was 50.8 years and 61% were female. Participants who reported occupational sitting as “often/always” had CRP levels of 4.9±6.8 mg/L, “sometimes” had levels of 4.8±8.1 mg/L, and “never/seldom” had levels of 4.3±6.8 mg/L. In the unadjusted model, “often/always” engaging in occupational sitting was significantly associated with higher levels of CRP when compared to “never/seldom” ( P < .05). This differed by sex with female participants who reported “often/always” occupational sitting had CRP levels of 6.0±7.6 mg/L compared to only 5.1±6.9 mg/L for “never/seldom.” Neither the overall association nor the female-specific association remained statistically significant in the adjusted models. We found an association between occupational sitting and inflammation, measured by CRP. This association varied by sex but did not remain significant after fully adjusting for covariates.
