Serum copper and obesity among healthy adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Copper (Cu) homeostasis are important processes in the cause of metabolic diseases, but the association between Cu and obesity remains unclear.

Methods

Participants were drawn from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted logistic regression assessed the associations of serum Cu concentrations (tertiles) with obesity and central obesity in individuals without comorbidities. Obesity was defined as a BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2, and central obesity was defined as a waist circumference ≥80 cm for women and ≥95 cm for men.

Results

This cross-sectional study included 1,665 adults without comorbidities, representing 24,744,034 people (mean age 35.1 years, 48.5% female). High serum Cu levels (tertile 3: ≥19.19 μmol/L) were associated with higher odds of obesity (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 4.48, 95% CI[confidence interval]: 2.44-8.32) and central obesity (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.19-4.66) compared to low serum Cu levels (tertile 1: ≤15.64 μmol/L). The dose-response curve showed a nonlinear association between Cu levels and obesity (P-nonlinear = 0.02) and a linear association with central obesity (P-nonlinear = 0.21).

Conclusion

This study suggests that higher serum Cu levels are associated with increased odds of obesity in healthy American adults.

Project description:IntroductionThe risk of kidney stones in metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) individuals is largely unexplored. This study using percent body fat (%BF) to categorize obesity, to investigate the association between MHO as well as other metabolic syndrome-obesity combined phenotypes and kidney stones in a national representative population.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study included 4,287 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2018. Metabolically healthy status was defined as not having any component of metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. Obesity was identified by %BF, which was measured and assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Participants were cross-classified by metabolic health and obesity status. The outcome was self-report kidney stones. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the association between MHO and kidney stones.ResultsA total of 358 participants had kidney stones [weighted prevalence (SE): 8.61% (0.56%)]. The weighted prevalence (SE) of kidney stones in MHN, MHOW, and MHO groups was 3.13% (1.10%), 4.97% (1.36%), and 8.55% (2.09%), respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, education level, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, daily water intake, CKD stage 3-5, and hyperuricemia, MHO individuals (OR: 2.90, 95% CI: 1.18, 7.0) had a significantly higher risk of kidney stones than those with metabolically healthy normal weight. In metabolically healthy participants, a 5% increment in %BF was associated with a significantly higher risk of kidney stones (OR: 1.60, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.14). Furthermore, a nonlinear dose-response relationship between %BF and the kidney stones was observed in metabolically healthy participants (P for non-linearity = 0.046).ConclusionUsing %BF to define obesity, MHO phenotype was significantly associated with higher risks of kidney stones, suggesting that obesity can independently contribute to kidney stones in the absence of metabolic abnormalities and insulin resistance. Regarding kidney stones prevention, MHO individuals might still benefit from lifestyle interventions aimed at healthy body composition maintenance.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Despite the growing pieces of evidence linking hyperuricemia with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, the relationship between dyslipidemia and serum uric acid has not yet been established. This study aimed to investigate the association between individual components of dyslipidemia and serum uric acid by using the nationally representative Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016-2017. METHODS:A total of 8,722 participants (age ? 19 years) without missing values were analyzed for this study. Serum uric acid levels according to the presence of individual dyslipidemia components were calculated using multivariable-adjusted general linear models (GLM). Odds ratios of individual dyslipidemia components to hyperuricemia were calculated using unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:A total of 1,061 participants were identified as having hyperuricemia, with a prevalence of 12.2%. Multivariable-adjusted GLM demonstrated a significant trend between individual dyslipidemia components and serum uric acid levels (P < 0.05). A positive association between the numbers of dyslipidemia components and the increments of serum uric acid levels was also observed (P < 0.001). In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis, odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of all dyslipidemia components to hyperuricemia were shown to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). When further adjusted for the combined components themselves, each 10 mg/dL increments of total cholesterol (OR 1.053; 95% CI 1.028-1.079), triglycerides (OR 1.017; 95% CI 1.009-1.026) and HDL-C (OR 0.804; 95% CI 0.729-0.887), retained significant correlation with hyperuricemia. CONCLUSION:Our study demonstrated that the dyslipidemia components of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C levels are positively associated with serum uric acid levels, whereas serum HDL-C levels are inversely related. Further complementary studies regarding other lipid parameters are needed to confirm the accurate association between dyslipidemia and serum uric acid levels.
