Integrative Analysis of Lipid Profiles in Plasma Allows Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Clustering in Children with Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity.

ABSTRACT: Hypertension, central obesity, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia are key risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, the specific factors contributing to the development of unfavorable cardiometabolic characteristics in children with obesity are unknown. In this study, we investigated the cross-sectional relationships between cytokines, irisin, and fatty acid (FA) composition in plasma in school-age children with metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity (MHO and MUO, respectively) of the same age and body mass index and waist circumference percentiles. We compared the data with that of children with normal weight (NW). We found that inflammatory cytokines and low irisin plasma concentrations are associated with obesity but not with cardiometabolic risk (CMR). Lipid profiles showed that children with MUO have a distinctive FA profile compared with children with MHO and NW, whereas children with MHO shared 88% of the FA profile with the NW group. Among all FAs, concentration of myristic acid (14?:?0), arachidic acid (20?:?0), and n-3 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) was higher in children with MHO, whereas n-6 PUFAs such as arachidonic acid (20?:?4n6) had a significant contribution in defining MUO. These data suggest that the plasma FA profile is not only a central link to obesity but also may act as an indicator of CMR presence.

Project description:ObjectivesTo analyze sex differences in the prevalence of obesity phenotypes and their risk factors among children and adolescents aged 7-18 years in China.MethodsWe enrolled 15,114 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years into the final analysis. Obesity phenotypes were classified by body mass index (BMI) and metabolic status as metabolically healthy or unhealthy obesity. In addition, we collected four possible influencing factors on obesity phenotypes through questionnaires, including demographic, parental, early life, and lifestyle indicators. Multinomial logistic regression analysis in a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was selected to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for identifying risk factors and control the cluster effects of schools. More importantly, the interaction terms of sex and each indicator were established to demonstrate the sex differences.ResultsThe prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), metabolically healthy overweight and obesity (MHOO), and metabolically unhealthy overweight and obesity (MUOO) were 3.5%, 5.6%, 11.1%, and 13.0% respectively, with higher prevalence in boys (5.3% vs. 1.6%, 7.9% vs. 3.1%, 14.3% vs. 7.7%, 15.6% vs. 10.1%). In addition, younger ages, single children, parental smoking, parental history of diseases (overweight, hypertension, diabetes), caesarean, premature, and delayed delivery time, high birth weight, insufficient sleep time, and excessive screen time were considered as important risk factors of MHO and MUO among children and adolescents (p < 0.05). More notably, boys were at higher risks of MUO when they were single children (boys: OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.24-1.96; girls: OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.82-1.54), while girls were more sensitive to MUO with parental smoking (girls: OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.02-1.76; boys: OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.97-1.39), premature delivery (girls: OR = 3.11, 95% CI: 1.59-6.07; boys: OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.67-2.22), high birth weight (girls: OR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.63-3.69; boys: OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.96-1.70), and excessive screen time (girls: OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.06-2.04; boys: OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.79-1.20), with significant interaction term for sex difference (pinteraction < 0.05).ConclusionsMHO and MUO are becoming prevalent among Chinese children and adolescents. Significant sex differences in the prevalence of obesity phenotypes as well as their environmental and genetic risk factors suggest it might be necessary to manage obesity phenotypes problems from a sex perspective.
