Increased Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease Associated With Weight Gain in Healthy Adults: Insight From Metabolic Profiles and Body Composition.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Obesity is an established risk factor for kidney damage. In this study, we explored the long-term association of changes in body mass index (BMI) over time with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: For this analysis, 5,393 middle-aged adults without comorbidities in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) were included. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to determine the patterns of BMI change (decreasing, stable, and increasing BMI) between baseline and year 4. The primary outcome was the subsequent development of CKD from year 4. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was constructed to determine the risk of incident CKD according to BMI trajectories. Results: During 55,327 person-years, incident CKD occurred in 354 (6.5%) participants; 6.0, 6.1, and 7.8 per 1,000 person-years across the trajectories, respectively (P = 0.005). In the multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model, the increasing BMI trajectory was associated with a 1.4-fold [hazard ratio (HR), 1.41; 95% CI, 1.06-1.87] a higher risk of incident CKD compared with stable BMI trajectory. This association was stronger for overweight and obese individuals. The HRs for CKD development in these two groups were 1.6 (95% CI, 1.06-1.87) and 2.2 (95% CI, 1.40-3.48), respectively. While the increasing BMI group was gaining weight, there were concomitant increases in blood pressure, insulin resistance, serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and fat mass, but high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol level and muscle-to-fat (MF) ratio decreased. Conclusion: Weight gain is associated with an increased risk of incident CKD in healthy adults. This association is attributed to worsening metabolic profiles and increasing fat mass.

Project description:BackgroundPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals found in drinking water and consumer products, resulting in ubiquitous human exposure. PFAS have been linked to endocrine disruption and altered weight gain across the lifespan. A limited and inconsistent body of research suggests PFAS may impact gestational weight gain (GWG) and postpartum body mass index (BMI), which are important predictors of overall infant and maternal health, respectively.MethodsIn the Understanding Pregnancy Signals and Infant Development (UPSIDE/UPSIDE-MOMs) study (n = 243; Rochester, NY), we examined second trimester serum PFAS (PFOS: perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, PFOA: perfluorooctanoic acid, PFNA: perfluorononanoic acid, PFHxS: perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, PFDA: perfluorodecanoic acid) in relation to GWG (kg, and weekly rate of gain) and in the postpartum, weight retention (PPWR (kg) and total body fat percentage (measured by bioelectrical impedance)). We fit multivariable linear regression models examining these outcomes in relation to log-transformed PFAS in the whole cohort as well as stratified by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI (< 25 vs. = > 25 kg/m2), adjusting for demographics and lifestyle factors. We used weighted quantile sum regression to find the combined influence of the 5 PFAS on GWG, PPWR, and body fat percentage.ResultsPFOA and PFHxS were inversely associated with total GWG (PFOA: ß = -1.54 kg, 95%CI: -2.79, -0.30; rate ß = -0.05 kg/week, 95%CI: -0.09, -0.01; PFHxS: ß = -1.59 kg, 95%CI: -3.39, 0.21; rate ß = -0.05 kg/week, 95%CI: -0.11, 0.01) and PPWR at 6 and 12 months (PFOA 6 months: ß = -2.39 kg, 95%CI: -4.17, -0.61; 12 months: ß = -4.02 kg, 95%CI: -6.58, -1.46; PFHxS 6 months: ß = -2.94 kg, 95%CI: -5.52, -0.35; 12 months: ß = -5.13 kg, 95%CI: -8.34, -1.93). PFOA was additionally associated with lower body fat percentage at 6 and 12 months (ß = -1.75, 95%CI: -3.17, -0.32; ß = -1.64, 95%CI: -3.43, 0.16, respectively) with stronger associations observed in participants with higher pre-pregnancy BMI. The PFAS mixture was inversely associated with weight retention at 12 months (ß = -2.030, 95%CI: -3.486, -0.573) amongst all participants.ConclusionPFAS, in particular PFOA and PFHxS, in pregnancy are associated with altered patterns of GWG and postpartum adiposity with potential implications for fetal development and long-term maternal cardiometabolic health.

Project description:Microbes and their metabolic products influence early-life immune and microbiome development, yet remain understudied during pregnancy. Vaginal microbial communities are typically dominated by one or a few well-adapted microbes which are able to survive in a narrow pH range and are adapted to live on host-derived carbon sources, likely sourced from glycogen and mucin present in the vaginal environment. We characterized the cervicovaginal microbiomes of 16 healthy women throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy. Additionally, we analyzed saliva and urine metabolomes using gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) lipidomics approaches for samples from mothers and their infants through the first year of life. Amplicon sequencing revealed most women had either a simple community with one highly abundant species of Lactobacillus or a more diverse community characterized by a high abundance of Gardnerella, as has also been previously described in several independent cohorts. Integrating GC-TOF MS and lipidomics data with amplicon sequencing, we found metabolites that distinctly associate with particular communities. For example, cervicovaginal microbial communities dominated by Lactobacillus crispatus have high mannitol levels, which is unexpected given the characterization of L. crispatus as a homofermentative Lactobacillus species. It may be that fluctuations in which Lactobacillus dominate a particular vaginal microbiome are dictated by the availability of host sugars, such as fructose, which is the most likely substrate being converted to mannitol. Overall, using a multi-"omic" approach, we begin to address the genetic and molecular means by which a particular vaginal microbiome becomes vulnerable to large changes in composition.IMPORTANCE Humans have a unique vaginal microbiome compared to other mammals, characterized by low diversity and often dominated by Lactobacillus spp. Dramatic shifts in vaginal microbial communities sometimes contribute to the presence of a polymicrobial overgrowth condition called bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, many healthy women lacking BV symptoms have vaginal microbiomes dominated by microbes associated with BV, resulting in debate about the definition of a healthy vaginal microbiome. Despite substantial evidence that the reproductive health of a woman depends on the vaginal microbiota, future therapies that may improve reproductive health outcomes are stalled due to limited understanding surrounding the ecology of the vaginal microbiome. Here, we use sequencing and metabolomic techniques to show novel associations between vaginal microbes and metabolites during healthy pregnancy. We speculate these associations underlie microbiome dynamics and may contribute to a better understanding of transitions between alternative vaginal microbiome compositions.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The association between gestational weight gain and neonatal body composition has been inconsistent, exposing the need for further research. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether gestational weight gain influences the body composition of full-term newborns and infants up to 4 months old. METHODS:A cohort study was performed with 124 participants divided into categories of gestational weight gain according to the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines. The anthropometric and body composition data of newborns and infants acquired using air displacement plethysmography (PeaPod®) were collected at 96?h, 1?month, 2?months and 4?months of life. In the statistical analysis, the chi-square test was used to analyze categorical variables, and ANOVA was used to analyze numerical variables. Univariate analysis was performed, and the absolute and relative frequencies of the categorical variables, as well as mean and standard deviation of the numerical variables, were obtained. Bivariate analysis was performed for the categories of gestational weight gain and gestational and neonatal characteristics. When adjustments to gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and pregestational body mass index (BMI) were analyzed by linear regression, gestational weight gain remained a significant variable for newborn percent fat mass. For all analyses, a significance level of 5% was adopted. RESULTS:Gestational weight gain was adequate in 33.8% of the participants, excessive in 41.1% and insufficient in 25%. Women with excessive weight gain had higher pregestational BMIs and a higher incidence of gestational hypertension. Their newborns had a higher body mass, body fat mass in grams and percent fat mass than the infants born to mothers with adequate or insufficient gestational weight gain. No significant differences were observed in body composition at 1, 2 and 4?months of life during infant follow-up. CONCLUSION:Excessive gestational weight gain may alter the body composition of newborns at birth. Further studies are required to better evaluate infant follow-up.
