Effect of Soymilk Consumption on Waist Circumference and Cardiovascular Risks among Overweight and Obese Female Adults.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Soy milk replacement in the diet might have beneficial effects on waist circumference and cardiovascular risk factors for overweight and obese subjects. Therefore, we are going to determine the effects of soy milk replacements on the waist circumference and cardiovascular risk factors among overweight and obese female adults. METHODS:In this crossover randomized clinical trail, 24 over weight and obese female adults were on a diet with soy milk or the diet with cow's milk for four weeks. In the diet with soy milk only one glass of soy milk (240 cc) was replaced instead of one glass of cow's milk (240 cc). Measurements were done according to the standard protocol. RESULTS:WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY FOLLOWING SOY MILK PERIOD (MEAN PERCENT CHANGE IN SOY MILK PERIOD FOR WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: -3.79 ± 0.51 vs. -1.78 ± 0.55 %; P = 0.02 in the cow's milk period). Blood pressure, weight, liver enzymes and glycemic control indices did not changed significantly after soy milk period compared to the cow's milk period. CONCLUSION:Among over weight and obese patients, soy milk can play an important role in reducing waist circumference. However, soy milk replacement had no significant effects on weight, glycemic control indices, liver enzymes, fibrinogen and blood pressure in a short term trial.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To apply spinal cord injury (SCI) specific waist circumference (WC) cutoff point to identify risks of 1) obesity, 2) metabolic syndrome (MetS), 3) cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS:Thirty-six men with chronic SCI underwent anthropometric measurements, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure total and regional adiposity. An SCI specific WC cutoff point of 86.5 cm was applied to the existing general population criteria. Pearson chi-square (?2) analyses tested the difference in the number of participants classified as obese using the SCI specific cutoff point compared to the general population criteria. Sensitivity and specificity analyses relative to percentage body fat mass and visceral adipose tissue was used to assess classification performance of this cutoff point. The interrater reliability for three definitions of MetS was assessed using Cohen's Kappa (?) values. Linear regression analyses were utilized to propose SCI specific Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score (FRS) cutoff value. RESULTS:Using SCI specific WC cutoff point of 86.5 cm, 36% of participants were classified as obese compared to only 3% when using WC of 102 cm (P < 0.001). Relative to percentage body fat mass, the general population WC cutoff point of 102 cm had a sensitivity of 6.3% and specificity of 100% both which changed to 68.8% and 90%, respectively, with a SCI specific cutoff point of 86.5 cm. Similar results were obtained when using visceral adipose tissue as a reference. The Kappa (?) values improved substantially after using SCI specific criteria (0.95 ± 0.05) compared to the general population criteria (0.47 ± 0.28) for three definitions of MetS. The SCI specific FRS cutoff value of 6 was predicted after applying a WC cutoff of 86.5 cm. CONCLUSIONS:Using the existing general population criteria underestimated persons with SCI who are at risk of developing obesity, MetS, and CVD. The recommended SCI specific criteria are likely to distinguish those at risks of developing comorbidities and allow healthcare providers to intervene in a timely manner.
