Dietary Intakes and Eating Behavior between Metabolically Healthy and Unhealthy Obesity Phenotypes in Asian Children and Adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Diet plays a critical role in the development of obesity and obesity-related morbidities. Our study aimed to evaluate the dietary food groups, nutrient intakes and eating behaviors of metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity phenotypes in an Asian cohort of children and adolescents. Participants (n = 52) were asked to record their diet using a 3-day food diary and intakes were analyzed using a nutrient software. Eating behavior was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) or metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) were defined based on criteria of metabolic syndrome. Children/adolescents with MUO consumed fewer whole grains (median: 0.00 (interquartile range: 0.00-0.00 g) vs. 18.5 g (0.00-69.8 g)) and less polyunsaturated fat (6.26% kcal (5.17-7.45% kcal) vs. 6.92% kcal (5.85-9.02% kcal)), and had lower cognitive dietary restraint (15.0 (13.0-17.0) vs. 16.0 (14.0-19.0)) compared to children/adolescents with MHO. Deep fried food, fast food and processed convenience food were positively associated with both systolic (β: 2.84, 95%CI: 0.95-6.62) and diastolic blood pressure (β: 4.83, 95%CI: 0.61-9.04). Higher polyunsaturated fat intake (OR: 0.529, 95%CI: 0.284-0.986) and cognitive dietary restraint (OR: 0.681, 95%CI: 0.472-0.984) were associated with a lower risk of the MUO phenotype. A healthier diet composition and positive eating behavior may contribute to favorable metabolic outcomes in children and adolescents with obesity.

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.

Project description:BackgroundThe Healthy Eating Index (HEI) estimates the diet quality, and low HEI scores are associated with adverse bone outcomes. However, the relationship between HEI scores and bone health in individuals who are obese but otherwise healthy or obese with comorbidities remains unclear.ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the association of HEI scores with bone mineral density (BMD), bone regulating hormones and bone turnover markers in individuals with metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) phenotypes.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional analysis of 122 adults who were overweight or obese. A questionnaire was completed to obtain demographic data. Body composition and BMD were assessed by a Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) exam. The HEI scores and dietary components were calculated using a 24-h dietary recall. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s25OHD), total osteocalcin (OC), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and C-terminal telopeptide (CTx) concentrations. The MHO and MUO phenotypes were classified according to the absence or presence of metabolic abnormalities.ResultsThe sample mean age was 37.91 ± 12.66 years, 50.8% were men, mean body mass index (BMI) was 30.01 ± 4.63 kg/m2, and 45.9% were classified as the MUO phenotype. The mean HEI scores were 54.42 ± 16.25 and 61.48% had low-diet quality. HEI scores were positively associated with s25OHD in the MUO phenotype group (β = 0.194, 95%CI = 0.038-0.350, p = 0.016). Certain dietary score components, such as fruits, seafood and plant protein, added sugars, whole grains, and fatty acids were also associated with bone health markers. However, HEI scores were not associated with BMD measures, neither with other bone regulating hormones and turnover markers.ConclusionThere was a positive association between HEI scores and s25OHD in adults who were overweight or obese with MUO phenotype. Additionally, the adequate consumption of specific food groups may benefit bone mass and metabolism. These results emphasize the importance of lifestyle interventions encouraging healthy eating habits to prevent s25OHD deficiency, poor bone health, and cardiometabolic complications.

Project description:BackgroundPeople with metabolically healthy (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) differ for the presence or absence of cardio-metabolic complications, respectively.ObjectiveBased on these differences, we are interested in deepening whether these obesity phenotypes could be linked to changes in microbiota and metabolome profiles. In this respect, the overt role of microbiota taxa composition and relative metabolic profiles is not completely understood. At this aim, biochemical and nutritional parameters, fecal microbiota, metabolome and SCFA compositions were inspected in patients with MHO and MUO under a restrictive diet regimen with a daily intake ranging from 800 to 1200 kcal.MethodsBlood, fecal samples and food questionnaires were collected from healthy controls (HC), and an obese cohort composed of both MHO and MUO patients. Most impacting biochemical/anthropometric variables from an a priori sample stratification were detected by applying a robust statistics approach useful in lowering the background noise. Bacterial taxa and volatile metabolites were assessed by qPCR and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, respectively. A targeted GC-MS analyses on SCFAs was also performed.ResultsInstructed to follow a controlled and restricted daily calorie intake, MHO and MUO patients showed differences in metabolic, gut microbial and volatilome signatures. Our data revealed higher quantities of specific pro-inflammatory taxa (i.e., Desulfovibrio and Prevotella genera) and lower quantities of Clostridium coccoides group in MUO subset. Higher abundances in alkane, ketone, aldehyde, and indole VOC classes together with a lower amount of butanoic acid marked the faecal MUO metabolome.ConclusionsCompared to MHO, MUO subset symptom picture is featured by specific differences in gut pro-inflammatory taxa and metabolites that could have a role in the progression to metabolically unhealthy status and developing of obesity-related cardiometabolic diseases. The approach is suitable to better explain the crosstalk existing among dysmetabolism-related inflammation, nutrient intake, lifestyle, and gut dysbiosis.

Project description:Obesity and obesity-related low-grade inflammation are common findings in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine-metabolic disorder-affecting women in reproductive age. The terms metabolically healthy obese (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) have been introduced to define individuals with obesity in whom cardio-metabolic risk factors are absent or present, respectively. To date, evidence investigating differences in body composition and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) between MHO and MUO-PCOS women are lacking. Aim of this study was to better characterize the determinants of the metabolic health status in PCOS patients with obesity according to MHO and MUO phenotypes by evaluating endocrine-metabolic profile, inflammatory status, adherence to the MD, and body composition. The study population consisted of 94 treatment-naïve women with PCOS and obesity (BMI = 38.23 ± 6.62 kg/m2 and age = 24.12 ± 3.68 years). Compared PCOS MHO with PCOS MUO patients, the latter had higher levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (p < 0.001), testosterone (p < 0.001), and insulin (p < 0.001), worse metabolic parameters, and higher Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HoMA-IR), Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), and Fatty liver Index (FLI) (p < 0.001). Furthermore, PCOS MUO patients had lower adherence to the MD (p < 0.001) in spite of the same total energy intake (p = 0.102) as compared to PCOS MHO. The presence of MUO was associated with highest hs-CRP levels (OR = 1.49, p < 0.001), more severe hyperandrogenism and cardio-metabolic indices (p < 0.001). On the contrary, being PCOS MUO was associated with lower adherence to the MD (OR = 0.28, p < 0.001), and smaller PhAs (OR = 0.04, p < 0.001). Using a regression linear analysis model PREDIMED score entered at the first step (p < 0.001), followed by VAI (p < 0.001), and FLI (p = 0.032) in this analysis. At ROC analysis, a PREDIMED score of ≤4 (p < 0.001, AUC 0.926) could serve as a threshold for a significantly increased risk of presence the MUO-PCOS phenotype. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that characterized MHO and MUO-PCOS women on the basis of their adherence to the MD, body composition, and cardio-metabolic indices, providing evidence of the usefulness of adjunctive diagnostic parameters to better differentiate the MHO/MHO phenotypes in this cohort of PCOS patients with obesity.
