Sex specific trajectories of central adiposity, lipid indices, and glucose level with incident hypertension: 12 years Follow-up in Tehran lipid and glucose study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To identify sex specific trajectories of waist circumference (WC),triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) during adulthood and examine their associations with incident hypertension.

Methods

The cohort consisted of 5030 participants (2051 males) with at least 2 repeated measurement during a median of 12 years follow up. We identified trajectory groups using latent class growth mixture model, their association with hypertension was examined using multivariate Cox-regression analysis.

Results

We found 997 cases of hypertension (483 male). For both exposures, three distinct trajectory groups were identified in both genders. For WC, in women: low-increasing, 82.4%; high-stable, 13.4%; high-increasing, 4.2% and in men: stable, 94.6%; low-increasing, 3.6% and for high- increasing, 1.7%. For TG, in women: stable, 91.3%; decreasing, 5.9%; inverse U-shape, 2.8%; in men: stable, 89.7%; inverse U- shape, 6.2% and for decreasing, 4.1%. Regarding WC, high stable and high-increasing trajectories were associated with hypertension in the multivariate model [(hazard ratio (HR)?=?1.66 (95% CI 1.26-2.20) and 2.78(1.79-3.60), respectively]. Among men, this association was shown only for the low-increasing trajectory [2.76: 1.49-5.10]. For TG, among women decreasing and inverse U-shape trajectories were significantly associated with hypertension in the multivariate model [1.32:1.01-1.76] and [2.23:1.58-3.23, respectively]. We did not find any impact of increasing trajectories of FPG and HDL-C on incident hypertension. Considering TC, all individuals followed a stable trajectory.

Conclusion

WC dynamic changes in both gender and TG trajectory among women were significantly associated with incident hypertension.

Project description:Background:To examine the association between changes in fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and insulin-glucose ratio (IGR) levels, over approximately 3?years with incident hypertension. Methods:A total of 2814 Iranian participants (1123 men) without hypertension and known diabetes at baseline and the first examination were followed for a median of 6.32?years. The associations between quartiles of changes in fasting insulin and IR indices with incident hypertension were assessed using multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses with first quartile as reference. The models were adjusted for baseline values of insulin or each IR index, and age, sex, smoking, physical activity, educational levels, marital status, history of cardiovascular diseases, baseline levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressures, estimated glomerular filtration rate, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose (only for insulin change) and both body mass index (BMI) per se, and its change. Akaike's information criteria (AIC) was applied as indicator for goodness of fit of each predictive model. The discrimination ability of models was calculated using the Harrell's C statistic. Results:During the study, 594 incident cases of hypertension (253 men) were identified. The 4th quartile of changes in insulin, HOMA-IR, and IGR showed hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of 1.31 (1.01-1.69), 1.18 (0.92-1.52), and 1.53 (1.18-1.98) for hypertension, respectively, in fully-adjusted models. Changes in fasting insulin levels and IR indices showed significant increasing trends for incident hypertension, moving from 1st to 4th quartiles (all P-values < 0.05). Focusing on model fitness, no superiority was found between changes in fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and IGR to predict incident hypertension. The discriminatory powers of changes in fasting insulin and IR indices as assessed by C index were similar (i.e. about 80%). Conclusion:Changes in fasting insulin and IR indices were significantly associated with developing hypertension among normotensive population even after considering BMI changes.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate whether the Triglyceride-Glucose index (TyG-index) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)/coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsA total of 7521 Iranians aged???30 years (male?=?3367) were included in the study. Multivariate Cox regression analyses (adjusted for age, gender, waist circumference, body mass index, educational level, smoking status, physical activity, family history of CVD, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lipid lowering drugs) were used to assess the risk of incident CVD/CHD across quintiles and for 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in the TyG-index. The cut off point for TyG-index was assessed by the minimum value of [Formula: see text]. We also examined the added value of the TyG-index in addition to the Framingham risk score when predicting CVD.ResultsDuring follow-up, 1084 cases of CVD (male?=?634) were recorded. We found a significant trend of TyG-index for incident CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis (both Ps for tend???0.002). Moreover, a 1-SD increase in TyG-index was associated with significant risk of CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis [1.16 (1.07-1.25) and 1.19 (1.10-1.29), respectively]. The cut-off value of TyG-index for incident CVD was 9.03 (59.2% sensitivity and 63.2% specificity); the corresponding value of TyG-index for incident CHD was 9.03 (60.0% sensitivity and 62.8% specificity), respectively. Although no interaction was found between gender and TyG-index for CVD/CHD in multivariate analysis (both Ps for interaction?>?0.085), the significant trend of TyG-index was observed only among females for incident CVD (P?=?0.035). A significant interaction was found between age groups (i.e.???60 vs?<?60 years) and TyG-index for CVD outcomes in the multivariate model (P-value for interaction?=?0.046). Accordingly, a significant association between the TyG-index and outcomes was found only among the younger age group. Among the population aged?<?60 the addition of TyG-index to the Framingham risk score (FRS) did not show improvement in the predictive ability of the FRS, using integrated discrimination improvement.ConclusionThe TyG-index is significantly associated with increased risk of CVD/CHD incidence; this issue was more prominent among the younger population. However, adding TyG-index to FRS does not provide better risk prediction for CVD.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the association between different obesity phenotypes and the risk of incident hypertension among both genders.MethodsThe study population included 3659 Iranians (men?=?1540), aged ?20?years free of hypertension at baseline. Participants were classified into six categories of body mass index (BMI)-metabolic health status, in which unhealthy metabolic status was defined based on the presence of >?1 component of metabolic syndrome (MetS) using the joint interim statement (JIS) criteria or the presence of insulin resistance (IR). The association between different obesity phenotypes and incident hypertension was assessed using multivariate Cox's proportional hazard models adjusted for age, current smoking, low physical activity, diabetes mellitus, family history of premature cardiovascular disease, estimated glomerular filtration rate, phase of recruitment, BMI and systolic blood pressure, considering metabolically healthy normal weight group as the reference.ResultsAfter a median follow-up of 11.6?years 1122 participants (men?=?493) experienced hypertension. Using JIS criteria, a significant higher risk of hypertension was observed among metabolically healthy obese and well as metabolically unhealthy groups among men in the age adjusted model; however, a significant higher risk in the fully adjusted model was seen among women in the metabolically healthy obese [hazard ratio (HR) 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.96(1.16-3.32)] as well as metabolically unhealthy normal weight [1.98(1.37-2.86)], overweight [2.08(1.49-2.90)] and obese [2.06(1.27-3.30)] groups. Using insulin sensitive normal weight group as the reference, among men, being overweight or obese with and without IR was significant predictors of incident hypertension in the age adjusted model; however, among women, insulin resistant overweight [1.46(1.06-2.02)] and obese groups, [1.63(1.01-2.62)] showed significant risk in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionWe concluded that first, there was significant difference between genders in the associations between obesity phenotypes and incident hypertension. Second, in general, metabolic status defined by MetS components as compared to IR could do better in identifying high risk women for hypertension. Third, women populations who are metabolically healthy obese using MetS definition or those with either >?1 component of metabolic syndrome or overweight/obese ones with IR should be prioritized for implementing urgent preventive strategies against hypertension focusing on lifestyle changes.

Project description:BackgroundWe investigated the association of anthropometric indices including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and hip circumference (HC) with the risk of incident sudden cardiac death (SCD) among Iranian population with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsThe study population included 9,089 subjects without and 1,185 subjects with T2DM, aged ≥ 20 years. Participants were recruited in 1999-2001 or 2001-2005, and followed for incident SCD annually, up to 20 March 2018. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for traditional risk factors of cardiovascular disease, were applied to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of anthropometric indices (as continuous and categorical variables).ResultsDuring a follow-up of over 15 years, 144 (1.58%) and 86 (7.26%) incident SCD occurred in non-T2DM and T2DM groups, respectively. Among non-T2DM group, a 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in WHtR was associated with higher risk of incident SCD by a HR of 1.23 (95% CI: 1.00-1.50) in the multivariable model. From the first quartile to the fourth quartile of WHtR, the trend of SCD risk was significant in age- and sex-adjusted analysis (P-value for trend: 0.041). Other indices did not show significant associations with SCD. Among T2DM group, a 1 SD increase in WHR had a HR of 1.36 (1.05-1.76) in the multivariable model. Considering WHR as categorical variables, the trend of SCD risk across quartiles of WHR was significant. Furthermore, a 1 SD increase in HC led to reduced risk of incident SCD with a HR of 0.75 (0.58-0.97) in multivariable analysis; this lower risk remained significant even after adjustment for WC. Compared to the first quartile, the fourth quartile of HC also showed a HR of 0.50 (0.25-0.99) (P-value for trend = 0.018). BMI, WC, and WHtR did not have significant associations with incident SCD.ConclusionIn our long-term population-based study, we demonstrated central but not general obesity (as assessed by WHR in participants with T2DM, and WHtR in participants without T2DM) as a herald of incident SCD. Moreover, HC can have an inverse association with SCD among participants with T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundTo assess the impact of changes in different glucose tolerance states on risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)/coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsA total of 4094 Iranians (43.9% men) aged???30 years, without diabetes and CVD at enrolment were included. The following categories were defined both at baseline visit and 3 years later (second visit): normal fasting glucose (NFG), normal glucose tolerance (NGT), NFG and NGT (NFG/NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and IFG and/or IGT (IFG/IGT). Changes in the categories, i.e. regression to normoglycemia, remaining in previous status and progression to diabetes were assessed. We used Cox's proportional hazard models adjusted for traditional risk factors and their changes, to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of different changing categories for incident CVD/CHD.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 12.42 years, 428 subjects (men?=?265) experienced CVD. Considering persistent NFG/NGT as reference, participants who shifted from NFG/NGT to IFG/IGT showed a lower hazard of CVD in the fully adjusted model, HR 0.72 [95% CI 0.52-0.996, P?=?0.048]. Moreover, subjects who shifted from IFG, IGT and IFG/IGT to diabetes had an increased risk of CVD/CHD. The risk however, was only statistically significant for those with IFG/IGT, 1.61 [(1.03-2.51), P?=?0.04] for CVD and 1.75 [(1.10-2.78), P?=?0.02] for CHD; considering IFG/IGT at both visits as reference. Furthermore, those who regressed from IFG/IGT to normoglycemia were at the same risk as those remained in IFG/IGT state, 1.12 [(0.79-1.60), P?=?0.52] for CVD and 1.04 [(0.70-1.53), P?=?0.85] for CHD. Among a subgroup of population with insulin data (n?=?803) those with insulin resistance (IR) that converted to diabetes showed a higher risk for CVD, 3.68 [(1.49-9.06), P?=?0.01] and CHD, 2.76 [(1.00-7.60), P?=?0.05] events in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionsAmong participants with IFG, IGT or IFG/IGT at baseline, only those who developed diabetes had a higher risk of developing CVD/CHD. Persistent IFG/IGT was not associated with higher risk, compared with those reverted to normoglycemia. Moreover, subjects who converted from NFG/NGT to incident IFG/IGT showed a signal for lower risk of CVD/CHD.

Project description:Background:Hypertension, with a prevalence of 25.6% is a serious public health concern in Iran. Objective:To investigate the population-based incidence of hypertension and its potential risk factors in Tehranian adults during a median follow-up of 13.1 years. Methods:A total of 6,533 non-hypertensive participants (women = 3,639), aged ?20 years participated in the study. Crude and age-standardized incidence rates per 1000 person-years were calculated for each sex, separately. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all potential risk factors. Results:The crude and age-standardized incidence rates (95% CI) of hypertension per 1000 person-years were 29.7 (27.8-31.6) and 34.9 (32.5-37.4) among men and 25.8 (24.3-27.3) and 38.7 (35.5-42.0) among women, respectively. The incidence rate of hypertension in younger age groups was higher among men. However, after the 4th decade, the incidence rate was higher among women. Significant interactions of sex with age groups, body mass index categories, marital status, hypertriglyceridemia and glycemic categories were found in multivariable analyses (all p-values < 0.05). In the multivariable model, the risk in both sexes was found to be significantly associated with older age, obesity, and normal or high normal blood pressure (BP). Moreover, factors such as being overweight [HR: 1.20 (1.00-1.44)], former smoking [2.15 (1.52-3.04)], hypertriglyceridemia [1.23 (1.06-1.43)] and pre-diabetes status [1.19 (1.02-1.39)] were significant predictors of incident hypertension among women. Central obesity was found to be a significant predictor among men [1.26 (1.03-1.54)]. The optimism-corrected Harrell's C index (95% CI) in the categorical adjusted model was 0.75 (0.74-0.79) among men and 0.75 (0.74-0.76) among women. Conclusion:In the Tehranian population, nearly 2.7% of total participants (3% of men and 2.6% of women) develop hypertension each year. Obesity and high BP levels are the main modifiable risk factors in both sexes. Hypertriglyceridemia, prediabetes and former smoking are risk factors for hypertension among women.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the distinct patterns (trajectories) of variation in blood lipid levels before diagnosing cardiovascular disease (CVD) might carry important implications for improving disease prevention or treatment.MethodsWe investigated 14,373 participants (45.5% men) aged 45-84 from two large US prospective cohort studies with a median of 23 years follow-up. First, we jointly estimated developmental trajectories of lipid indices, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) concentrations using group-based multi-trajectory modeling. Then, the association of identified multi-trajectories with incident CVD, heart failure, and all-cause mortality were examined using Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsSeven distinct multi-trajectories were identified. The majority of participants (approximately 80%) exhibited decreasing LDL-C but rising TG levels and relatively stable HDL-C levels. Compared to the individuals with healthy and stable LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG levels, those in other groups were at significant risk of incident CVD after adjusting for other conventional risk factors. Individuals with the highest but decreasing LDL-C and borderline high and rising TG levels over time were at the highest risk than those in other groups with a 2.22-fold risk of CVD. Also, those with the highest and increased triglyceride levels over time, over optimal and decreasing LDL-C levels, and the lowest HDL-C profile had a nearly 1.84 times CVD risk. Even individuals in the multi-trajectory group with the highest HDL-C, optimal LDL-C, and optimal TG levels had a significant risk (HR, 1.45; 95% CI 1.02-2.08). Furthermore, only those with the highest HDL-C profile increased the risk of heart failure by 1.5-fold (95% CI 1.07-2.06).ConclusionsThe trajectories and risk of CVD identified in this study demonstrated that despite a decline in LDL-C over time, a significant amount of residual risk for CVD remains. These findings suggest the impact of the increasing trend of TG on CVD risk and emphasize the importance of assessing the lipid levels at each visit and undertaking potential interventions that lower triglyceride concentrations to reduce the residual risk of CVD, even among those with the optimal LDL-C level.

Project description:BACKGROUND:This study aimed to determine the association between different weight histories, including cumulative excess weight, cumulative excess waist circumference (WC), duration of general and central adiposity, current and maximum body mass index, and current and maximum WC, and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS:The study population consisted of 4398 adults aged ?40 years without CHD or stroke at baseline. Associations between different weight histories and CHD and stroke were determined by multivariable time-varying Cox regression models after adjustment for age, sex, and time-varying confounders. Further adjustment was also done for mediators (eg, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension). During median follow-up of 13.9 years, 718 incident CHD and 158 stroke events were documented. Multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated in the sex and confounder adjusted model for CHD per 1-SD increase in cumulative excess weight (HR: 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-1.07), cumulative excess WC (HR: 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04-1.24), duration of general adiposity (HR: 1.00; 95% CI, 0.92-1.08), duration of central adiposity (HR: 1.01; 95% CI, 0.93-1.09), current body mass index (HR: 1.03; 95% CI, 0.99-1.07), current WC (HR: 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11-1.32), maximum body mass index (HR: 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95-1.07), and maximum WC (HR: 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.28). After further adjustment for mediators, current and maximum WC still showed a significant risk (HR: 1.13 [95% CI, 1.03-1.23] and 1.09 [95% CI, 1.00-1.20], respectively). Moreover, in the sex and confounder adjusted model, cumulative excess WC and maximum WC were associated with higher risk of stroke (hazard ratio: 1.21 [95% CI, 0.99-1.48] and 1.25 [95% CI, 1.02-1.55], respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Exposure to cumulative excess weight and cumulative excess WC confers little additional risk beyond their current and maximum values. Even current and maximum WC were associated with incident CHD in the presence of obesity mediators, and the latter was a significant predictor of stroke in the presence of confounders.
