“…First, any causal explanation regarding the current findings cannot be given due to the cross-sectional nature of the study. Second, behavioral risk factors for Mets may have different patterns between men and women [ 47 , 48 ]. In this study, however, we did not conduct sex-specific data analysis due to (1) low statistical power related to a relatively small sample size of female students and (2) chance of type 2 error (or false negative).…”

Background: Little is known regarding the role of eating quickly, physical inactivity, and poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in assessing the onset of metabolic syndrome (Mets) in Korean young adults. Objectives: This study examined the association between the three risk factors and Mets in 1891 Korean university students (30% female) aged 18–29 years. Methods: Eating speed (slow vs. fast) and physical activity (active vs. inactive) were assessed with a standardized questionnaire. Maximal oxygen uptake as an indicator of CRF was assessed with graded exercise testing. Components of Mets were waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC). Results: All the three exposures were positively associated with abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressures, elevated FBG, elevated TG, and decreased HDLC. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of Mets was incremental in the order of physical inactivity (odds ratio, OR = 1.666; 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.024–2.708; p = 0.040), fast eating (OR = 1.687; 95% CI = 1.094–2.601; p = 0.018), and poor CRF (OR = 5.378; 95% CI = 3.475–8.325; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The current findings suggest that a multifaceted intervention targeting at promotion of physical activity and CRF in concert with healthy eating behaviors should be implemented as a preventive strategy against Mets in Korean university students.

“…Management of MetS in persons of all age groups is required. Because the aging process is accelerated during this middle-aged period, control needs to focus on preventing CVDs and MetS (30) . The progression of obesity in middle age predicts the occurrence of moderate cognitive decline at a later age following adjustment for natural cognitive ageing (24,31).…”

Cognitive impairment is common among population worldwide which become an increasingly important health issue related with aging. Indonesia is one of low-middle income countries with reach the era of aging, as the population aged 60 years and over is 10.0% in 2020.The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cognitive impairment among middle-aged and elderly Indonesians. Cognitively impaired was measured with the questionnaire derived from the instrument of telephone interview for cognitive status (TICS). Analysis of covariance was used to examine the differences and multivariate with logistic regression analysis of the odds of cognitive impairment. Setting on this study was using The Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)-5 conducted in 2014-2015 with 1532 participants were placed into middle-aged and elderly. This study found that central obesity and dyslipidemia were less likely to have cognitive impairment among middle-aged and elderly. (OR adjusted for age and sex 0.67; 95% CI 0.37~1.20; p=0.175). In conclucion, central obesity and dyslipidemia were less likely to have cognitive impairment among middle-aged and elderly in Indonesia. Our findings suggest that middle-aged people should manage their waist circumference in order to prevent cognitive impairment as they age.

“…Moreover, these associations were more significant in the men than in the women. Numerous studies have investigated the predictive ability of obesity-related indices in identifying MetS in men and women [38][39][40]. However, there is currently no consensus on which obesity-related index is the most powerful predictor.…”

Background:The aim of this study was to investigate the associations among obesity-related indices and MetS in diabetic patients, and explore sex differences in these associations. Methods: Patients with type 2 DM were included from two hospitals in southern Taiwan. The Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for an Asian population were used to define MetS. In addition, the following obesity-related indices were evaluated: waist-to-height ratio, waist-hip ratio (WHR), conicity index (CI), body mass index (BMI), body roundness index, body adiposity index, lipid accumulation product (LAP), abdominal volume index, visceral adiposity index (VAI), abdominal volume index and triglyceride-glucose index. Results: A total of 1,872 patients with type 2 DM (mean age 64.0 ± 11.3 years, 808 males and 1,064 females) were enrolled. The prevalence rates of MetS were 59.8% and 76.4% in the males and female (p < 0.001), respectively. All of the obesity-related indices were associated with MetS in both sex (all p < 0.001). LAP and BMI had the greatest areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves in both sex. In addition, the interactions between BMI and sex (p = 0.036), WHR and sex (p = 0.016), and CI and sex (p = 0.026) on MetS were statistically significant. Conclusions:In conclusion, this study demonstrated significant relationships between obesity-related indices and MetS among patients with type 2 DM. LAP and VAI were powerful predictors in both sex. The associations of BMI, WHR and CI on MetS were more significant in the men than in the women.
