The association between obesity indicators and metabolic risk factors in type-2 diabetic patients.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale and objectives

Obesity, accumulation of adipose tissue, is a global disease that can lead to cardiovascular and metabolic complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity indicators and metabolic risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Materials and methods

A total of 337 T2DM subjects were included in our study. The metabolic risk factors including diabetes duration, fast plasma glucose (FPG), height, weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), estimated average glucose (eAG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), triglyceride (TG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), free fatty acid (FFA), uric acid (UA), cystatin c (cysc), albumin (Alb), urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) were recorded. The obesity indicators included body surface area (BSA), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), para-perirenal fat thickness (PRFT), total abdominal fat (TAF), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT). The association between obesity indicators and metabolic risk factors was investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis.

Results

HDL-c was independently associated with WHR and PRFT (β = -0.126 vs. -0.214, both p < 0.05). TG and Scr were both independently associated with PRFT (β = 0.173 vs. 0.218, both p < 0.01, respectively). UA was independently associated with BSA (β = 0.172, p < 0.01) and PRFT (β = 0.151, p < 0.01). cysc, Alb and UACR were independently associated with WC (β = 0.274 vs. 0.204 vs. 0.182, all p < 0.01).

Conclusion

In T2DM patients, obesity indicators were significantly associated with metabolic risk factors.

Project description:BackgroundTo determine the optimal cut-off values and evaluate the associations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.MethodsA large-scale cross-sectional survey was conducted among 35,256 adults aged 20-74 years in Shanghai between June 2016 and December 2017. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to assess the optimal cut-off anthropometric indices of CVD risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia. Multivariate Logistic regression models were preformed to evaluate the odds ratio of CVD risk factors.ResultsThe area under the curve (AUC) of WHtR was significantly greater than that of BMI or WC in the prediction of hypertension and diabetes, and AUCs were higher in women than men. The optimal cut-off values of WHtR were approximately 0.51 in both sexes, while the cut-off values of BMI and WC were higher for men compared with women. The optimal cutoff values of BMI and WC varied greatly across different age groups, but the difference in WHtR was relatively slight. Among women, the optimal threshold of anthropometric indices appeared to increase with age for hypertension and diabetes. The odds ratio between anthropometric indices and CVD risk factors were attenuated with age. WHtR had the greatest odds ratio for CVD risk factors among adults under 60 years old except for women with hypertension, while among 60-74 years, BMI yielded the greatest odds ratio in terms of all CVD outcomes except for women with diabetes.ConclusionsWHtR had the best performance for discriminating hypertension and diabetes and potentially be served as a standard screening tool in public health. The associations between three anthropometric indices and CVD risk factors differed by sex and decreased with age. These findings indicated a need to develop age- and gender-specific difference and make effective strategies for primary prevention of CVDs.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of inflammatory states in cardiometabolic risks among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with similar degrees of obesity is unknown. The study aimed to compare cardiometabolic risk factors in inflammatory obesity phenotypes with regard to the role of the FTO rs9939609 gene polymorphism.Materials and methodsThis study was performed on 155 patients with T2DM (77 men and 78 women) in Ahvaz, Iran. Participants were grouped into four groups based on the presence of obesity and inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥3.9 mg/L): low inflammatory normal weight (LINW), high inflammatory normal weight (HINW), low inflammatory obese (LIO), and high inflammatory obese (HIO). The genotypes of FTO rs9939609, including homozygous carriers of the FTO risk allele (AA), heterozygous carriers (AT), and carrying no risk allele (TT), were studied. The cardiometabolic risk factors, including anthropometric status, hypertension, lipid and glycemic profile, and inflammatory markers, were evaluated. The waist-hip ratio (WHR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) were calculated.ResultsThe patients in inflammatory groups (HINW and HIO) have significantly higher levels in AIP when compared to inflammatory healthy groups (LINW and LIO). No significant differences between any of the four group means were detected in WHR, blood pressure, MAP, glycemic status (fasting blood sugar and insulin), homeostatic model assessment, lipid profile (triglyceride, very low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and cholesterol), interleukin-6, and total antioxidant capacity. The most frequent of high-risk genotype (AA) of FTO rs9939609 was in HIO, LIO, HINW, and LINW.ConclusionT2DM patients with inflammatory condition have similar degree of increased atherogenic risk irrespective of obesity. The obesity-risk genotype AA of FTO gene was associated with an increased risk for inflammatory obesity in T2DM patients.

Project description:There may be differences in optimal anthropometric cut-offs for diagnosing obesity among different regions of China. However, there has been little studies about choosing effective obesity indicators in Han People of low-income Chinese adults in southwest China. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the associations between different obesity indicators and cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF) and choose the optimal cut-off values.A cross-sectional study was carried out in southwest of China, with multi-stage sampling enrolling 2112 subjects aged 20 to 80 years old. Anthropometric measurements included Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), Hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). We measured the percentage of body fat (PBF) by bioelectrical impedance analyzer to assess the body composition. The validity of different obesity indicators in assessing CVDRF risk were assessed through comparison area under curve of different indicators in assessing CVDRF risk in different gender. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the obesity indicators and CVDRF.When both male and female were considered, the optimal indicators were WHtR and percentage of body fat PBF for hypertension, WHR and WHtR for dyslipidemia. Both WC and WHtR were optimal indicators in assessing metabolic syndrome risk for both genders. When both disease and gender were considered, WHtR was the best associated indicators with various CVDRF. The cut-off of BMI and WC were consistent to the definition of obesity in Working Group of China. The WHtR positively correlated with the CVDRF. The cut-off of WHtR to do what was approximately 0.50 for adults in both genders in southwest of China.WHtR may be the best associated indicators for obesity-related CVDRF among the others (BMI, WC, Hip circumference, PBF, and WHR) in southwest of China. The cut-off of WHtR was approximately 0.50 for adults in both genders in southwest of China.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the risk factors for retinal microvascular impairment on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in type 2 diabetic patients without clinical diabetic retinopathy (DR).MethodsThis retrospective and cross-sectional study enrolled 74 diabetic patients without clinically evident DR for the study group and 34 healthy subjects for the control group. OCT-A parameters were measured to determine vascular density (VD) and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) size in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses (SCP/DCP) of the retina. Clinical data were collected on sex, age, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), hypertension, dyslipidemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and smoking status. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to represent the associated clinical variables with OCT-A parameters in diabetic patients.ResultsIn comparison between the study and control groups, the VD in the SCP and DCP were significantly lower in diabetic patients compared to the controls (P = 0.022 and 0.003, respectively). The FAZ size in the SCP and DCP were significantly greater in diabetic patients compared to the controls (P = 0.035 and <0.001, respectively). In age- and sex-adjusted multiple regression analyses for the diabetic patients, dyslipidemia and hypertension were negatively associated with SCP-VD (β = -0.357, P = 0.002; β = -0.239, P = 0.039, respectively). Current smoking was correlated with lower DCP-VD (β = -0.255, P = 0.043). Greater SCP-FAZ size was associated with dyslipidemia and greater LDL-C (β = 0.254, P = 0.013; β = 0.232, P = 0.029, respectively), and greater DCP-FAZ size, with lower eGFR and greater LDL-C (β = -0.355, P = 0.004; β = 0.235, P = 0.037, respectively).ConclusionsDiabetic patients without clinical DR showed lower VD and greater FAZ size in the SCP and DCP compared to healthy controls. In diabetic patients without clinical DR, dyslipidemia and/or high LDL-C were important risk factors for retinal microvascular impairment. Hypertension, current smoking and lower eGFR also contributed to microvascular impairment.
