AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examines the relationship between fitness levels and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in women with metabolic syndrome and ischemic heart disease.
  • It follows a cohort of 492 women over an average of 8.6 years, classifying them into groups based on fitness and metabolic health status.
  • Results show that unfit women, particularly those with metabolic syndrome, have significantly higher risks of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to their fit counterparts, highlighting the importance of both fitness and metabolic health.

Article Abstract

Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome continues to increase steadily while fitness remains relatively low. The contribution of fitness on longer-term cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in individuals with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome remains unknown.

Design: Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) prospective cohort (enrolled 1996-2001) of women undergoing invasive coronary angiography with signs/symptoms of ischemic heart disease.

Methods: Investigated the association of fitness, defined as >7METs measured by self-reported Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), and both metabolic syndrome (ATPIII criteria) and dysmetabolism (ATPIII criteria and/or treated diabetes) with long-term cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality risk.

Results: Among the 492 women followed for a median of 8.6 years (range 0-11 years), 19.5% were fit-metabolically healthy (reference), 14.4% fit-metabolic syndrome, 29.9% unfit-metabolically healthy, and 36.2% unfit-metabolic syndrome. Compared to reference, MACE risk was 1.52-fold higher in fit-metabolic syndrome women (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.03-2.26) and 2.42-fold higher in unfit-metabolic syndrome women (HR 2.42, 95% CI 1.30-4.48). Compared to reference, mortality risk was 1.96-fold higher in fit-dysmetabolism (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.29-3.00) and 3-fold higher in unfit-dysmetabolism women (HR 3.0, 95% CI 1.66-5.43).

Conclusions: In a high risk cohort of women with signs/symptoms of ischemic heart disease, unfit-metabolically healthy and fit-metabolically unhealthy women were at higher risk of long-term MACE and mortality compared to fit-metabolically healthy women; and women who were unfit and metabolically unhealthy were at the highest risk. Our study demonstrates that metabolic health and fitness play an important role in long term outcomes that warrants further investigation.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (met-s) is a medical condition that includes abdominal obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood glucose, and high blood pressure. It is associated with a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The condition was believed to be a challenge mostly faced by developed nations.

Microcystins Exposure and the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study in Central China.

A growing body of evidence indicates that microcystins (MCs) exposure may cause metabolic diseases. However, studies exploring the effects of MCs exposure on the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in humans are currently lacking, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we conducted a cross-sectional study in central China to explore the effect of serum MCs on MetS, and assessed the mediation effects of the inflammation biomarker, white blood cell (WBC) level, in this relationship.

Whey fermentation could produce bioactive substances with immunomodulatory effects, metabolic syndrome modulation, and antioxidant properties, thereby imparting functional characteristics to products and facilitating the development of novel foods with health-promoting potential. A non-targeted metabolomics approach using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was employed to investigate changes in the metabolite profiles of whey fermented by strain KM812 over varying fermentation durations. The findings demonstrated a progressive enrichment of metabolites over time.

Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common metabolic disorders in the European population. A low level of 25-OH vitamin D3 is related to an elevated risk of myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between calcidiol and calcitriol serum concentration and left ventricular ejection fraction early after interventional treatment for acute coronary syndrome.

Uric acid (UA), a metabolite of purine and fructose metabolism, is linked to inflammation and metabolic disorders, including gout and cardiovascular disease. Its pro-inflammatory effects are largely driven by the activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, leading to increased cytokine production. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a ketone produced during fasting or carbohydrate restriction, has been shown to reduce inflammation.
