Neck circumference cutoff point as a predictor of metabolic syndrome in Brazilian rural workers. Neck circumference (NC) is a predictive measure for the diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome (MS). The aim of the present study was to establish cutoff points for NC as a predictor of the presence of MS in Brazilian rural workers, based on the MS components according to the IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria

Physical activity and metabolic syndrome in primary care patients in Spain. To determine the relationship between self-reported physical activity and the components of premorbid metabolic syndrome in patients treated in primary care according to sex. Cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on a sample of 2,359 patients without cardiovascular disease or diabetes, included in the cohort high). The analyses were performed stratifying by sex. A total of 854 men and 1,505 women with no identified diseases were included. Women were more sedentary than men (p<0.004; OR = 1,35; IC95% = 1,10-1,65) and presented lower values in all the components of the metabolic syndrome, except for HDL-cholesterol, which was higher (p<0.001). The adjusted ANOVA model shows that diastolic blood pressure

Accuracy of the Modified Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (Modified FINDRISC) for detecting metabolic syndrome: Findings from the Indonesian national health survey. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Modified Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (Modified FINDRISC) for detecting individuals with metabolic syndrome in Indonesia. A dataset from the 2018 Indonesian National Basic Health Survey was analysed, and cases of metabolic syndrome were identified in accordance with both National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) guidelines. Diagnostic accuracy of the Modified FINDRISC tool was evaluated using the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC) curve, while optimal cut-off scores were determined

Associations between religiosity/spirituality with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study. Religiosity and spirituality (R/S) are central aspects to the lives of many people worldwide. Previous research suggests a potentially beneficial relationship between R/S, mostly understood as religious service attendance, and mortality. Though important , this research often fails to account for the complex and multidimensional nature of R/S. Also lacking is an adequate understanding of the physiological mechanisms that may link R/S with mortality and other health outcomes. Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, subclinical physiological processes that are influenced by the types of lifestyle factors and psychological factors that R/S addresses, serve

Associations between spice or pepper (Capsicum annuum) consumption and diabetes or metabolic syndrome incidence. Spice and pepper are recognized as sources of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. This study investigated the association between spice or pepper intake and metabolic syndrome (MetS), related risk factors, or type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidences. The qualified Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) participants were included. In all examinations, dietary, anthropometrical, and biochemical variables were measured. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were exploited to determine the relationship between spice or pepper consumption and the hazard ratios for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), or its components. The analysis was performed on 5340

Application of attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in semi-quantification of blood lipids and characterization of the metabolic syndrome. Dyslipidemia, a hallmark of metabolic syndrome (MetS), contributes to atherosclerotic and cardiometabolic disorders. Due to days-long analysis, current clinical procedures for cardiotoxic blood lipid monitoring are unmet

The efficacy of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1 probiotics in modulating gut microbiota and reducing the risk of the characteristics of metabolic syndrome: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n

Health Effects of Electrolyzed Hydrogen Water for the Metabolic Syndrome and Pre-Metabolic Syndrome: A 3-Month Randomized Controlled Trial and Subsequent Analyses.

This research was carried out jointly by Susaki City; Nihon Trim Co., Ltd.; and Kochi University as part of a local revitalization project with health as a keyword. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group trial was conducted to evaluate the clinical impact of EHW on participants who suffered from metabolic syndrome or pre-metabolic syndrome. EHW was produced via electrolysis using a commercially available

Estimating the impact of metabolic syndrome on low back pain and the joint effects of metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms on low back pain: insights from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Although metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depressive symptoms (DS) are predictors of low back pain (LBP), their combined effects and relative contributions to LBP have not been well

The effect of a new developed synbiotic yogurt consumption on metabolic syndrome components in adults with metabolic syndrome: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Studies have proposed that probiotic intake may ameliorate some of the clinical components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to determine the effects of a new developed synbiotic yogurt containing Lactobacillus

Aminotransferases as causal factors for metabolic syndrome: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. Circulating aminotransferases (ALT and AST) have been used as biomarkers for liver injury. The causal relationships between aminotransferases and metabolic syndrome remain ambiguous. We conducted bidirectional and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses between aminotransferases and traits related to metabolic syndrome using genetic variants obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWASs). MR-PRESSO tests were adopted to remove outliers and eliminate pleiotropy. MR steiger tests were conducted to ensure the correct direction of the causal effects. Both aminotransferases were risk factors for essential hypertension. ALT is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The bidirectional

Association between dental scaling and metabolic syndrome and lifestyle. Periodontal disease is a risk factor for diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and non-surgical periodontal treatment has been shown to help maintain stable blood sugar in diabetic patients. Determining the level of preventive scaling in patients with metabolic syndrome will help manage the disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which people with metabolic syndrome or bad lifestyle performed scaling and the association between preventive scaling and metabolic syndrome or lifestyle in a large population. This study was conducted on adults aged 20 years or older from January 2014 to December 2017 in the National Health Insurance System (NHIS) database. Among 558,067 people who underwent health checkups

Nutrition and Health in Arab Adolescents (NaHAR): Study protocol for the determination of ethnic-specific body fat and anthropometric cut-offs to identify metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of adolescent obesity in the Middle-East is considered among the highest in the world. Obesity in adolescents is associated with several cardiometabolic abnormalities, the constellation of which is referred to as the metabolic syndrome (MetS). This multi-country cross-sectional study aims to determine the optimal cut-off values for body fat (BF); body mass index (BMI) z-score; waist circumference (WC) percentile, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for the prediction of MetS among adolescents from Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia (KSA), Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. A secondary objective is to examine the validity

Effects of niacin and omega-3 fatty acids on HDL-apolipoprotein A-I exchange in subjects with metabolic syndrome. HDL-apolipoprotein A-I exchange (HAE) measures a functional property associated with HDL's ability to mediate reverse cholesterol transport. HAE has been used to examine HDL function in case-control studies but not in studies of therapeutics that alter HDL particle composition . This study investigates whether niacin and omega-3 fatty acids induce measurable changes in HAE using a cohort of fifty-six subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) who were previously recruited to a double-blind trial where they were randomized to 16 weeks of treatment with dual placebo, extended-release niacin (ERN, 2g/day), prescription omega-3 ethyl esters (P-OM3, 4g/day), or the combination. HAE

Association between human papillomaviruses, metabolic syndrome, and all-cause death; analysis of the U.S. NHANES 2003-2004 to 2015-2016. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, attributed to 4.5% of all cancers worldwide. Co-infection with the metabolic syndrome (MetS), a common cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, has been shown to increase

A cohort study of the effects of social support on cerebral cardiovascular disease in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Previous studies have extensively examined the relationship between social support and various health outcomes. However, little is known about the distinct longitudinal associations between perceived social support and the development of cardiovascular events in patients with metabolic syndrome. In this cohort study, we investigated whether the levels of perceived social support in patients with metabolic syndrome were associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events. The level of social support was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) in 2,721 individuals living in Wonju and Pyeongchang, South Korea

The impact of metabolic syndrome severity on racial and ethnic disparities in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease. Previous studies have examined the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) rather than its severity on race and ethnic disparities in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). We used the MetS severity score, a validated sex-race-ethnicity
