Abstract Background: Previous studies reported that the association between lipid levels and cognitive function related with gender, age and specific cognitive domains, but the influence of body mass index (BMI) on this association is limited. This triggered our interest in exploring how serum lipids relate to cognitive function in different subgroups. Methods: Data was collected from 2009 wave and 2015 wave of China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Multivariable linear regression analyses examined serum lipids level as predictors of sex- and age-specific measure of cognitive function in different BMI levels, which were adjusted for nationality, BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), smoking status, alcohol consumption and education level. Results: Cognitive function score have different concentration curves in serum lipids quartile levels in different BMI categories. After adjustment for confounding factors, serum TG was positively associated with cognitive function score in underweight (β±SE: 2.06±0.88, P=0.023) and obese (β±SE: 1.44±0.71, P=0.045) male group, and serum HDL-C was positively associated with cognitive function score in overweight (β±SE: 1.89±0.92, P=0.041) and obese (β±SE: 5.04±1.62, P=0.002) female group. Serum TC was negatively associated with cognitive function score in overweight (β±SE: -2.55±1.26, P=0.043) mid-life adults, and serum HDL-C was positively associated with cognitive function score in overweight (β±SE: 2.15±0.94, P=0.022) and obese (β±SE: 5.33±2.07, P=0.011) older adults. Conclusion: The associations of serum lipids with cognitive function were related with BMI levels and differed between gender and age groups. This result indicated that better nutritional status has superior cognitive function performance.

Abstract Introduction Snoring is one of the symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with blood pressure in pregnant women. However, studies reporting this association have been conducted overseas, and there is a lack of research in the Japanese context, where women have different lifestyles and physical attributes. The aim of this study is to clarify the association of sleep disturbance with physical factors in pregnant Japanese women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 pregnant Japanese women. The assessments for statistical analysis included the Japanese versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (J-PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS), as well as snoring frequency, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) before and during pregnancy. Results Participants’ average gestational age was 26.23±7.56 weeks, and the J-PSQI and JESS scores were 5.5±2.6 and 9.7±4.2, respectively. The average neck circumference was 33.4±2.6cm, and BMI before and during pregnancy was 21.0±2.9cm and 23.1±3.1cm, respectively. Among the participants, 42.5% displayed habitual snoring. These women had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy than those who did not snore habitually. Participants with lower diastolic blood pressure and pre-pregnancy weight had significantly higher JESS scores. Participants with thick necks (neck circumference≥33.4cm) had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy, as well as lower J-PSQI scores, than those with thin necks. Conclusion In pregnant Japanese women, neck circumference and BMI before and during pregnancy were lower than among pregnant women from other countries. However, Japanese women displayed a greater tendency toward snoring during pregnancy compared to women from other countries. Snoring was associated with obesity before and during pregnancy. However, the results suggest that thinness of physique prior to pregnancy is a risk factor for sleep disturbance during pregnancy. Support

AbstractObjectiveLittle is known about the relationship of monetary diet costs to dietary intake and obesity, particularly in non-Western populations. This study examined monetary cost of dietary energy in relation to diet quality and body mass index (BMI) among young Japanese women.DesignDietary intake was assessed by a validated, self-administered, diet history questionnaire. Diet costs were estimated using retail food prices. Monetary cost of dietary energy (Japanese yen 1000 kcal−1) was then calculated. BMI was computed from self-reported body weight and height.SubjectsA total of 3931 female Japanese dietetic students aged 18–20 years.ResultsMonetary cost of dietary energy was positively associated with intakes of fruits, vegetables, fish and shellfish, and pulses; however, higher monetary cost of dietary energy was also associated with higher consumption of fat and oil, meat and energy-containing beverages, and lower consumption of cereals (rice, bread and noodles) (all P for trend <0.01). At the nutrient level, monetary cost of dietary energy was positively associated with intakes of dietary fibre and key vitamins and minerals, but also associated positively with intakes of fat, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and sodium, and negatively with carbohydrate intake (all P for trend <0.0001). After adjustment for possible confounders, monetary cost of dietary energy was quite weakly but significantly negatively associated with BMI (P for trend = 0.0197).ConclusionsIncreasing monetary cost of dietary energy was associated with both favourable and unfavourable dietary intake patterns and a quite small decrease in BMI in young Japanese women.
