Longitudinal Increases in Adiposity Contribute to Worsening Adipokine Profile over Time in Mexican Americans.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Limited studies have assessed the relationship between longitudinal changes in adiposity and changes in multiple adipokines over time. This study examined changes in BMI, total body fat, and trunk fat associated with changes in 16 circulating adipokines in Mexican Americans at risk for type 2 diabetes. METHODS:Participants included 1,213 individuals with cross-sectional data and a subset of 368 individuals with follow-up measures (mean 4.6?±?1.5 years from baseline). Joint multivariate associations between 3 adiposity measures and 16 adipokines were assessed by canonical correlation analysis. RESULTS:Longitudinal increases in adiposity were most strongly associated with increasing leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and decreasing adiponectin and secreted frizzled protein 5 (SFRP5) over time. Participants with BMI???30 kg/m2 at baseline had greater increases in leptin, CRP, IL-1Ra, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and greater decreases in adiponectin and SFRP5, associated with increasing adiposity over follow-up, than those with BMI?

Project description:BACKGROUND:Little is known regarding the impact of transitions in frailty on healthcare use and payment in older Mexican Americans. We address this gap in knowledge by investigating the effect of early transitions in physical frailty on the use of healthcare services and Medicare payments involving older Mexican Americans. METHODS:Longitudinal analyses were conducted using the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly (Hispanic-EPESE) survey data from five Southwest states linked to the Medicare claims files from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Seven hundred and eighty-eight community-dwelling Mexican Americans 72?years and older in 2000/01 were studied. We used a modified Frailty Phenotype (unintentional weight loss, weakness, self-reported exhaustion and slow walking speed) to classify frailty status (non-frail, pre-frail or frail). Each participant was placed into one of 5 frailty transition groups: 1) remain non-frail, 2) remain pre-frail, 3) remain frail, 4) improve (pre-frail to non-frail, frail to non-frail, frail to pre-frail) and 5) worse (non-frail to pre-frail, non-frail to frail, pre-frail to frail). The outcomes for the one-year follow-up period (2000-2001) were: (a) healthcare use (hospitalization, emergency room [ER] admission and physician visit); and (b) Medicare payments (total payment and outpatient payment). RESULTS:Mean age was 78.8 (SD?=?5.1) years and 60.3% were female in 1998/99. Males who remained pre-frail (Odds Ratio [OR]?=?3.49, 1.13-10.8, remained frail OR?=?6.92, 1.61-29.7) and transitioned to worse frail status (OR?=?4.49, 1.74-11.6) had significantly higher hospitalization risk compared to individuals who remained non-frail. Males in the 'worsened' groups, and females in the 'improved' groups, had significantly higher Medicare payments than individuals who remained non-frail (Cost Ratio [CR]?=?2.00, 1.30-3.09; CR?=?1.53, 1.12-2.09, respectively]. CONCLUSIONS:Healthcare use and Medicare payments differed by frailty transition status. The differences varied by sex. Research is necessary to elucidate the relationship between frailty transitions and outcomes, sex difference and Medicare payment for older Mexican Americans living in the community.

Project description:IntroductionMultimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is common among older adults and is associated with decreased quality of life, greater disability, and increased mortality. Yet, the association of multimorbidity with pain, another significant contributor to decreased quality of life, has not been widely studied. This is especially understudied among very old (aged ≥ 80) Mexican Americans, a fast-growing segment of the United States (US) population.ObjectiveTo assess the association of multimorbidity with pain in very old Mexican Americans, over six years of follow-up.MethodsWe used data from Waves 7 (2010/2011) to 9 (2015/2016) of the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly, a longitudinal study of older Mexican Americans residing in the Southwestern US. Multimorbidity was defined as reporting two or more chronic health conditions. Pain was defined as (1) pain on weight-bearing, (2) pain in back, hips, knees, ankles/feet, legs, entire body, or two or more locations, and (3) pain that limits daily activities. We use generalized estimation equations to estimate the odds ratio of pain as a function of multimorbidity over 6 years.ResultsAt baseline (n = 841), 77.3% of participants had multimorbidity. Those with multimorbidity had greater odds [2.27, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.74, 2.95] of reporting pain on weight-bearing over time, compared to those without multimorbidity. Also, those with multimorbidity had 2.12 times the odds of reporting pain that limited their daily activities (95% CI: 1.61, 2.78) compared to those without multimorbidity. Lastly, those with multimorbidity had higher odds of reporting pain in their back, knee, ankles/feet, legs, hips, entire body, or two or more locations, compared to those without multimorbidity.ConclusionsThose with multimorbidity consistently had higher odds of all types of pain, highlighting the need for early management of pain among those with multiple chronic conditions and complex health needs. This is especially important among very old Mexican Americans, who have a high burden of chronic health conditions.

Project description:Numerous host and environmental factors contribute to persistent and intermittent nasal Staphylococcus aureus carriage in humans. The effects of worsening glycemia on the odds of S. aureus intermittent and persistent nasal carriage was established in two cohorts from an adult Mexican American population living in Starr County, Texas. The anterior nares were sampled at two time points and the presence of S. aureus determined by laboratory culture and spa-typing. Persistent carriers were defined by the presence of S. aureus of the same spa-type at both time points, intermittent carriers were S. aureus-positive for 1 of 2 swabs, and noncarriers were negative for S. aureus at both time points. Diabetes status was obtained through personal interview and physical examination that included a blood draw for the determination of percent glycated hemoglobin A1c (%HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, and other blood chemistry values. Using logistic regression and general estimating equations, the odds of persistent and intermittent nasal carriage compared to noncarriers across the glycemic spectrum was determined controlling for covariates. Increasing fasting plasma glucose and %HbA1c in the primary and replication cohort, respectively, were significantly associated with increasing odds of S. aureus intermittent, but not persistent nasal carriage. These data suggest that increasing dysglycemia is a risk factor for intermittent S. aureus nasal carriage potentially placing those with poorly controlled diabetes at an increased risk of acquiring an S. aureus infection. IMPORTANCE Factors affecting nasal S. aureus colonization have been studied primarily in the context of persistent carriage. In contrast, few studies have examined factors affecting intermittent nasal carriage with this pathogen. This study demonstrates that the odds of intermittent but not persistent nasal carriage of S. aureus significantly increases with worsening measures of dysglycemia. This is important in the context of poorly controlled diabetes since the risk of becoming colonized with one of the primary organisms associated with diabetic foot infections can lead to increased morbidity and mortality.
