Fish Cooking Methods and Impaired Glucose Metabolism Among Japanese Workers: The Furukawa Nutrition and Health Study

The aim of this study was to examine the cross-sectional association between fish and shellfish intake and impaired glucose metabolism with consideration for cooking methods in a Japanese working population. Participants were 1774 workers aged 18–69 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated self-administered diet history questionnaire. Participants were asked about their most frequently used cooking method for fish, and the method was classified as either “raw and stewing” or “broiling, deep-frying, and stir-frying”. Impaired glucose metabolism was defined by a history of diabetes, current use of anti-diabetic drugs, fasting blood glucose ≥110 mg/dl, or HbA1c ≥6.0%. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios of impaired glucose metabolism for fish intake by cooking method. Fish intake was not associated with impaired glucose metabolism in either group. When the outcome was defined as diabetes, the odds of diabetes increased with fish intake among participants who most frequently used broiling, deep-frying, or stir-frying methods, albeit they were not statistically significant; the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio for the highest versus the lowest tertiles of fish intake was 1.95 (95%CI, 0.71–5.41). Cooking methods for fish may not modify the association between fish intake and impaired glucose metabolism among Japanese populations.

Indian diets have not been thoroughly investigated despite the fact that 'Nutrition Transition' parallels a rapidly escalating epidemic of obesity and Non-Communicable Diseases. Data on socio-economic background, dietary intake, BMI, Body Fat, Waist Circumference (WC), Abdominal Circumference (AC) and fasting blood estimations were recorded on 302 affluent men (30-60 years) in a cross-sectional study in Pune, India. Average daily calorie intake was lower (1714.7 ± 442 kcal) than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (ICMR, 2010) while mean fat (45.8 ± 19.1 g), carbohydrate (279.2 ± 68.3 g) and protein intakes (46.5 ± 15.1 g) were comparable. Increase in mean WC and AC (3.9 cm), in prevalence of overall obesity (49.4% to 65.4%) and in prevalence of abdominal obesity (24.7% to 40.7%) was significant (p<0.05 for all) across tertiles of total calories. But with increase in fat intake, it was only the prevalence of abdominal obesity that increased significantly (23.2% to 39.5%; p<0.05). Subjects having higher calorie intake (>1816 kcal/d) had two times higher risk for overall and abdominal adiposity while subjects having higher fat intake (>50g/d) had two times higher risk for abdominal obesity alone. Fat density but not carbohydrate, was sensitive as the prevalence of high Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), significantly (p<0.05) increased (20.2% to 42.9%) with its increase. Additionally, the risk of high FBG was about 3 times higher (p<0.01) for high fat density (>30%). Thus, high fat density but not carbohydrate density may be an important causative factor for high rates of abdominal obesity and disturbed glucose metabolism in India.

Background Evidence suggests that subjective (perceived) social status (SSS) may predict health outcomes more strongly than objective social status, but little is known about the relationship between SSS and cardiovascular health (CVH). This study focuses on this relationship among diverse Hispanic/Latino adults because while poor CVH profiles are prevalent in this population, immigration complicates attempts to measure their social status. Methods and Results We analyzed baseline HCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos) data on 15 374 Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18 to 74 years in 2008 to 2011. SSS was assessed using the McArthur Scale, a 10‐rung “social ladder.” CVH was based on levels of 7 metrics defined by the American Heart Association. Linear and logistic regressions were used to examine cross‐sectional associations of SSS with CVH (overall and single metrics) after adjusting for objective social status, demographic, and health factors. Less than half of the population (46%) had Ideal scores in ≥4 metrics of CVH. In multivariable‐adjusted models, an increase in SSS was associated with a higher overall CVH score (β=0.04; 95% CI, 0.01–0.06) and greater likelihood of Ideal levels of body mass index, physical activity, and fasting blood glucose levels. Nativity and time in the United States modified the association between SSS and Ideal smoking. Conclusions Subjective measures of social status can enhance an understanding of CVH among Hispanic/Latino people. Future studies should explore the stability of SSS over time in comparison with objective social status and the mechanisms through which SSS may influence CVH.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to determine the associations of eating habits and cooking methods with a breast tumor in childbearing aged Indonesian urban women. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a research of non-communicable disease 2016 database from the ministry of health of Indonesia. In total 28558 women, aged 25 – 49 years old were retrieved from the database. Eating habits and cooking methods were measured using a validated food frequency questionnaire. A forward logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association of eating habits and cooking methods with the risk of breast tumors. Results: Higher education level was positively associated with the incidence of breast tumor (OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 1.01-1.20, p = 0.026). Seafood (OR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96, p = 0.006) and fast foods (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.00-1.20, p = 0.049) were significantly associated with the incidence of breast tumor among urban women. Roasted/smoked cooking method was positively associated with risk of breast tumor (OR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.01 – 1.61, p = 0.043). Conclusion: Our study is the first community-based study in Indonesia investigating the association of eating habits and cooking methods with the incidence of breast tumors among childbearing aged urban women. High intake of seafood was associated with a lower risk of breast tumors while fast foods and roasted/smoked cooking method belief to have a detrimental effect on a breast tumor. Prospective studies are needed to confirm the present study findings.

Shared Risk

Introduction: We previously observed that circulating branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) were associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationships of BCAAs with other cardiometabolic pathways other than type 2 diabetes (T2D) are unclear, including inflammation, dyslipidemia, and impaired glucose metabolism. Hypothesis: We hypothesized plasma BCAAs are correlated with cardiometabolic dysfunction in women, independent of shared risk factors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 19,472 participants (mean age=54.9 years, SD=7.2) in the Women’s Health Study without a history of T2D, CVD, or cancer at baseline blood collection. We used multivariable linear regression models comparing quartiles of BCAAs (sum of fasting isoleucine, leucine and valine concentrations via NMR spectroscopy) with biomarkers of inflammation, lipids, and glucose metabolism, adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking, diet, and other CVD risk factors. Results: Women in the highest vs. lowest quartiles of plasma BCAAs had higher inflammatory markers including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; adjusted mean: 2.7 vs. 2.0 mg/L), fibrinogen (390 vs. 384 mg/dL), GlycA (420 vs. 384 μmol/L), and soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1; 350 vs. 341 ng/mL) (p<0.001 for linear trends across quartiles). Similarly for lipids, women with higher BCAAs had lower HDL-c (48.8 vs. 54.7 mg/dL), and higher LDL-c (142 vs. 135 mg/dL) and triglycerides (142 vs. 114 mg/dL) (p<0.001). BCAAs were positively associated with insulin resistance (lipoprotein insulin resistance [LPIR] score [54.8 vs. 40.0]) and HbA1c (5.2 vs. 5.1%). BCAAs remained associated with GlycA and hsCRP, but not fibrinogen or sICAM-1, when we further adjusted for LPIR and HbA1c, and remained associated with lipids after additional adjustment for HbA1c. Conclusions: Circulating BCAAs are concurrently associated with biomarkers of inflammation, dyslipidemia and impaired glucose metabolism indicative of an overall poorer cardiometabolic health profile. BCAAs remained positively associated with some of these pathways when adjusted for impaired glucose metabolism, suggesting elevated BCAAs may be an independent CVD risk factor in women.

Background: Impaired glucose metabolism affects atherosclerosis. Improvement in blood glucose could prevent many future complications. Hypothesis: The low caloric density of plant-based diets could decrease weight affecting fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels Methods: Data from 1827 patients that received residential treatments at a lifestyle center in Weimar, CA was used. A low fat whole plant based diet was prescribe together with intensive exercise, sleep hygiene, medical therapy, hydrotherapy, massage, psychological and spiritual therapies were employed. A physician monitored the patients during their 18 days of training and intervention. Some patients reduced their blood glucose medication during the 18 days. The morning FBG was measured at baseline and at the end of 18 days. Mg/dl scale was used. Results: From 1827 patients, 1193 of them were females. Mean age at baseline was 59.6 SD 15.5. At baseline fasting blood sugar was (average, median, mode, min, max) 108.2, 96, 90, 39, 437, 39.5 SD 39, SEM .9. At the end of the 18 days it was measured at (average, median, mode, min, max) 102.1, 93, 89, 51, 495, SD 32, SEM .7. Weight and BMI during this time also changed. The average weight at the beginning was 178 lbs SD 54.7, SEM 1.2 and at end it was 174 lbs SD 51, SEM 1.2. Average BMI at beginning was 28.6 SD 7.7, and at end was 27.9 SD 7.7. Conclusion: Plant based diet, as well as lifestyle changes can help decrease FBG levels. Some patients had an increase in FBS due to decrease of their medication.

Impaired Glucose Metabolism

Introduction: There are known sex and race differences in the risk of incident ischemic stroke (IS) associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), but the mechanism is unclear. To explore the role of impaired glucose metabolism in such differences, we aimed to determine if there are differences in the risk of IS across increasing fasting blood glucose (FBG) by race/sex subgroups. Methods: We analyzed data from black and white adults age ≥45 years at baseline (2003-2007) without a history of stroke from the Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke Study, a national longitudinal cohort. Data on age, race, sex, FBG, and DM medications was collected at baseline, and IS events were ascertained by phone every 6 months with physician adjudication of suspected events through September 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the association between FBG (<100 (ref), 100-125, 126-150, >150 mg/dL) and IS in sex/race groups (white women (WW), black women (BW), white men (WM), black men (BM)), stratified by DM medication use (DM medication use vs. no DM medication use) after adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, education, and income . Results: Of the 20,338 participants, mean age was 64.5(SD 9.3) years, 38.7% were black, 55.4% were women and 16.2% were using DM medications. There were 954 events. Of those on DM medication, the association between FBG and IS varied by race/sex (adjusted hazard ratios for FBG > 150 compared to FBG <100: WW 3.30 (95% CI 1.20, 9.10), BW 2.02 (95%CI 1.06, 3.87), BM 1.24 (95%CI 0.63, 2.46), WM 1.08 (95%CI 0.53, 2.17), p=0.08). Among those not on diabetes medications, IS risk across FBG did not vary by race/sex (p=0.36) (Table). Conclusions: Among those using diabetes medications, the magnitude of the association of increasing FBG with incident IS is highest among white women compared with other race/sex subgroups, suggesting possible race and sex differences in the role of impaired glucose metabolism in stroke risk.
