Genetic association study with metabolic syndrome and metabolic-related traits in a cross-sectional sample and a 10-year longitudinal sample of chinese elderly population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been known as partly heritable, while the number of genetic studies on MetS and metabolic-related traits among Chinese elderly was limited.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis was performed among 2 014 aged participants from September 2009 to June 2010 in Beijing, China. An additional longitudinal study was carried out among the same study population from 2001 to 2010. Biochemical profile and anthropometric parameters of all the participants were measured. The associations of 23 SNPs located within 17 candidate genes (MTHFR, PPAR?, LPL, INSIG, TCF7L2, FTO, KCNJ11, JAZF1, CDKN2A/B, ADIPOQ, WFS1, CDKAL1, IGF2BP2, KCNQ1, MTNR1B, IRS1, ACE) with overweight and obesity, diabetes, metabolic phenotypes, and MetS were examined in both studies.

Results

In this Chinese elderly population, prevalence of overweight, central obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and MetS were 48.3%, 71.0%, 32.4%, 75.7%, 68.3% and 54.5%, respectively. In the cross-sectional analyses, no SNP was found to be associated with MetS. Genotype TT of SNP rs4402960 within the gene IGF2BP2 was associated with overweight (odds ratio (OR) ?=?0.479, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.316-0.724, p?=?0.001) and genotype CA of SNP rs1801131 within the gene MTHFR was associated with hypertension (OR?=?1.560, 95% CI: 1.194-2.240, p?=?0.001). However, these associations were not observed in the longitudinal analyses.

Conclusions

The associations of SNP rs4402960 with overweight as well as the association of SNP rs1801131 with hypertension were found to be statistically significant. No SNP was identified to be associated with MetS in our study with statistical significance.

Project description:Laboratorial and epidemiological researches suggested that tea exhibited potential neuroprotective effect which may prevent cognitive impairment, but there were few data among the elderly aged 60 years and above in China.The objective was to explore the relationship between characteristics of tea consumption and cognitive impairment.We analyzed the baseline data from Zhejiang Major Public Health Surveillance Program (ZPHS) which was conducted in 2014. Totally 9,375 residents aged 60 years and above were recruited in this study. Face-to-face interview based on a self-developed questionnaire was performed for each participant. Detailed tea consumption habits were included in the questionnaire. Cognitive impairment screening was performed by using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Education-specific cut-off points for Chinese were applied to determine the status of cognitive impairment. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) of cognitive impairment associated with tea consumption.The means (SD) of MMSE scores for the subjects who did not consume tea and consumed <2 cups/d, 2-4 cups/d, ≥4 cups/d were 23.3 (SD = 5.61), 23.8 (SD = 5.60), 24.5 (SD = 5.63) and 25.0 (SD = 5.08), respectively. An inverse correlation was found between tea consumption (of all types) and prevalence of cognitive impairment. Volume of tea consumption was significantly associated with cognitive impairment: compared with non-consumption participants, those who consumed < 2 cups/d, 2-4 cups/d, and ≥4 cups/d were observed ORs of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.56, 1.07), 0.62 (95% CI: 0.47, 0.81), and 0.49 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.66), respectively. Compared with non-consumption, black tea presented a positive correlation with cognitive function after controlling for potential confounders (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.95), while green tea showed no significant difference (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.72, 1.51). Participants who consumed weak tea, moderate tea or strong tea more often were observed a better cognitive status when compared with those who did not have tea, with an OR of 0.51 (95% CI: 0.28, 0.92), 0.32 (95% CI: 0.19, 0.56) and 0.42 (95% CI: 0.22, 0.78) after adjusting for the potential confounders. But there was no statistically significant difference between any two of these ORs.Black tea consumption was association with better cognitive performance among the elderly aged 60 years and above in China, while green tea presented no correlation. The positive association of cognitive status with tea consumption was not limited to particular type of concentration.

Project description:ImportanceTinnitus is a common disorder, but its impact on daily life varies widely in population-based samples. It is unclear whether this interference in daily life is associated with mental health problems that are commonly detected in clinical populations.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of tinnitus and its interference in daily life with symptoms of depression and anxiety and poor sleep quality in a population-based sample of middle-aged and elderly persons in a cross-sectional analysis and during a 4-year follow-up.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study evaluated data from the population-based Rotterdam Study of individuals 40 years or older living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Between 2011 and 2016, data on tinnitus were obtained during a home interview at least once for 6128 participants. Participants with information on depressive and anxiety symptoms and self-rated sleep quality, with Mini-Mental State Examination scores indicating unimpaired cognition, and with repeatedly obtained tinnitus and mental health outcome data were included. Data analyses were conducted between September 2019 and April 2020.Main outcomes and measuresThe presence of tinnitus and its interference with daily life were assessed during a home interview. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression, anxiety symptoms with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Linear regression analyses and linear mixed models adjusted for relevant confounders were used to assess the cross-sectional and longitudinal association of tinnitus with mental health.ResultsOf 5418 complete-case participants (mean [SD] age, 69.0 [9.8] years; 3131 [57.8%] women), 975 (mean [SD] age, 71.7 [4.5] years; 519 [53.2%] women) had repeated measurements available for follow-up analyses. Compared with participants without tinnitus and participants with nonbothersome tinnitus, participants with tinnitus interfering with daily life reported more depressive (difference, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.11-0.28) and anxiety (difference, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.08-0.22) symptoms and poorer sleep quality (difference, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.03-0.16). Compared with participants without tinnitus, participants with nonbothersome tinnitus also reported more depressive (difference, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.03-0.09) and anxiety (difference, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.02-0.07) symptoms and poorer sleep quality (difference, 0.05; 95% CI, 0.03-0.08). Individuals indicating more interference with daily life reported having more mental health problems. During a mean follow-up of 4.4 years (range, 3.5-5.1 years), participants with tinnitus reported more anxiety symptoms and poorer sleep quality than those without tinnitus.Conclusions and relevanceFindings of this population-based cohort study indicate that tinnitus was associated with more mental health problems in middle-aged and elderly persons in the general population, in particular when tinnitus interfered with daily life but not solely. Over time, more severe tinnitus was associated with an increase in anxiety symptoms and poor sleep quality. This outcome suggests that mental health problems may be part of the burden of tinnitus, even among individuals who do not report their tinnitus interfering with daily life.
