“…Similar to the findings of previous research, this study reported significant links between MetS and increased body weight (Ching et al 2018;Moreira et al 2014;Ortiz-Rodríguez et al 2017), waist circumference (Johari and Shahar 2014;Ortiz-Rodríguez et al 2017;Raposo et al 2017), body fat percentage (Johari and Shahar 2014;Ortiz-Rodríguez et al 2017) and BMI (Wu et al 2018). However, we did not find a significant difference across MetS status in any specific sociodemographic profile, total cholesterol level or LDL-c level.…”

To date, limited data are available on metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence among breast cancer survivors in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MetS and abnormal MetS components among breast cancer survivors in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This cross-sectional study included 95 breast cancer survivors (age 53.7±7.6 years) who have completed main cancer treatments for ≥6 months. Cancer survivors were recruited from two main government hospitals in Kelantan and Terengganu using a purposive sampling method. According to the Harmonized criteria, the MetS prevalence was 50.5%. Among those with MetS, the most prevalent abnormal metabolic components were triglycerides (91.2%), fasting blood glucose (79.6%) and HDL-c level (78.4%). Except for total cholesterol and LDL-c, all other MetS components were significantly different (p<0.05) between those with and without MetS. Significant differences between MetS and non-MetS groups were found for weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and cancer stages (p<0.05). Otherwise, no significant difference was reported in other sociodemographic and clinical parameters between cancer survivors with and without MetS. In conclusion, MetS was highly prevalent among breast cancer survivors in this study, with weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and cancer stages significantly affect MetS status.

“…Organizations such as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the American Heart Association (AHA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Cholesterol Education Adult Treatment (NCEP-ATP III), and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) have proposed diverse diagnostic criteria and cut-off values for MetS [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Depending on the difference in the diagnostic criteria used, the incidence of metabolic syndrome in adults in varied populations has been reported to range from 28 to 50% [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Turkey, whose adult obesity prevalence is 28.8%, is in the top ten of the adult obesity prevalence ranking in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries [ 11 ].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of an energy restriction intermittent fasting diet in metabolic biomarkers and weight management among adults with metabolic syndrome. This randomized controlled study was performed with metabolic syndrome patients, aged 18–65 years, at an academic institution in Istanbul, Turkey (n = 70). All participants were randomized to the Intermittent Energy Restriction (IER) intervention group and Continuous Energy Restriction (CER) control group. Biochemical tests including lipid profile, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin Type A1c (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood pressure, and body composition were evaluated at baseline and at the 12th week in diet interviews. Dietary intake was measured with the 24-h dietary recall method and dietary quality was evaluated with the Healthy Eating Index-2010. Changes in body weight (≈7% weight loss) and composition were similar in both groups. Blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting glucose, and insulin at the 12th week decreased in both groups (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in metabolic syndrome biomarkers between the IER and CER groups. The energy-restricted intermittent fasting diet did not cause any deficiencies in macronutrient and fiber intake in the subjects. Healthy Eating Index (HEI) index scores were achieved similarly in both groups, and subjects’ dietary intakes were close to daily reference nutritional intake values. The technique used to achieve energy restriction, whether intermittent or continuous, appears to alleviate the metabolic syndrome biomarkers activated by weight loss.

“…Given that there are still several definitions in use, which differ in their cut-off values for MetS components, the prevalence of MetS in the literature ranges anywhere between 10% and 84%, depending both on the characteristics of the sample and definition used [2]. A majority of the studies indicate that 15% to 40% of the adult population in most countries can be characterized as having MetS [3][4][5][6][7]. Mediterranean countries also exhibit high MetS prevalence, ranging from one quarter to one third of the population [8][9][10].…”

The Association between Salt Taste Perception, Mediterranean Diet and Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a widespread disorder and an important public health challenge. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between salt taste perception, Mediterranean diet and MetS. This cross-sectional study included 2798 subjects from the general population of Dalmatia, Croatia. MetS was determined using the Joint Interim Statement definition, and Mediterranean diet compliance was estimated using Mediterranean Diet Serving Score. Salt taste perception was assessed by threshold and suprathreshold testing (intensity and hedonic perception). Logistic regression was used in the analysis, adjusting for important confounding factors. As many as 44% of subjects had MetS, with elevated waist circumference as the most common component (77%). Higher salt taste sensitivity (lower threshold) was associated with several positive outcomes: lower odds of MetS (OR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.52–0.92), lower odds for elevated waist circumference (0.47; 0.27–0.82), elevated fasting glucose or diabetes (0.65; 0.45–0.94), and reduced HDL cholesterol (0.59; 0.42–0.84), compared to the higher threshold group. Subjects with lower salt taste threshold were more likely to consume more fruit, and less likely to adhere to olive oil and white meat guidelines, but without a difference in the overall Mediterranean diet compliance. Salt taste intensity perception was not associated with any of the investigated outcomes, while salty solution liking was associated with MetS (OR = 1.85, CI 95% 1.02–3.35). This study identified an association between salt taste perception and MetS and gave a new insight into taste perception, nutrition, and possible health outcomes.
