Background: Abdominal obesity and hypertriglyceridemia confer high risk for cardiometabolic disease. Few studies have investigated the associations of hypertriglyceridemic waist with cytokines and hyperglycaemia in Chinese.
Methods: Anthropometric indexes, fasting plasma concentrations of glucose, glycohemoglobin, insulin, lipid profile, inflammatory factors and adipokines were measured among 3289 Chinese men and women 50-70 years of age.
Results: An increment of every 2 cm of waist circumference was associated with increased levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin 6 and RBP 4 by 0·033 mg/L, 0·018 ng/L and 0·556 mg/L and reduced levels of adiponectin by 0·269 mg/L (all P<0·05), respectively, with controlling for potential confounders. For triglycerides, each an increment of 20 mg/dL was associated with increased levels of hsCRP, RBP4, and decreased levels of adiponectin by 0·021 mg/L, 0·655 mg/L, and 0·371 mg/L (all P<0·05), respectively. Individuals with hypertriglyceridemic waist had increased risks of having hyperglycaemia (OR: 1·48; 95% CI: 1·09, 2·00) and diabetes mellitus (OR: 2·12; 95% CI: 1·47, 3·04) compared with those with neither of the phenotypes.
Conclusions: Hypertriglyceridemic waist is associated with a worse profile of inflammatory factors and adipokines as well as with an increased risk of having hyperglycaemia among Chinese.

Background & Aim: Dietary shifts replacing animal protein (AP) with plant protein (PP) sources have been associated with lowering cardiometabolic risk (CMR), but underlying mechanisms are poorly characterized. This nutritional intervention aims to characterize the metabolic changes induced by diets containing different proportions of AP and PP sources in males at CMR.
Design: This study is a 4-week, crossover, randomized, controlled-feeding trial in which 19 males with CMR followed two diets providing either 36 % for the control diet (CON-D) or 64 % for the flexitarian diet (FLEX-D) of total protein intake from PP sources.

The coexistence of obesity and low muscle strength-denoted dynapenic obesity (DO)-has been associated with an unhealthy metabolic profile and increased risk for metabolic syndrome. However, there is a lack on studies investigating if DO exhibits higher cardiometabolic risk than non-dynapenic obesity. To assess if individuals with DO exhibit elevated cardiometabolic risk compared to non-dynapenic obesity.

Background: The global prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases susceptibility to non-communicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, posing significant health risks. Effective prevention and management require objective tools. The hypertriglyceridemic waist (TG+WC+) phenotype is proposed as a less expensive approach to identify individuals with metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Objective: Although insulin resistance (IR) has been recognized to be a causal component in various diseases, current information on the relationship between IR and long-term mortality in the general population is limited and conclusions varied among different IR indicators and different populations. We aimed to assess associations between different measurements of IR with long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality risk for the general population.
Research Design And Methods: We included 13,909 individuals from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 581 subjects, mainly older adults, were analyzed, assessing various traditional and non-traditional cardiometabolic risk markers alongside lymphocyte-to-HDL-c ratios.
- * Findings show that a high lymphocyte-to-HDL-c ratio is linked to multiple adverse metabolic conditions, supporting its use as a biomarker in cardiovascular risk assessment.
