INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Smoking is associated with various health risks, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to determine whether smoking is harmful to the whole metabolic system. METHODS: We collected data from 340 randomly selected participants who were divided into three groups: smokers (n=137), non-smokers (n=134), and ex-smokers (n=69). We obtained information on participants' body mass index, waist circumference, indicators of glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, bone metabolism, and uric acid from health screen data during the past three years...

BACKGROUND: a healthy food intake pattern, specifically the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), is a factor associated with reduced risk, lower prevalence, and better management of chronic diseases. However, there is limited information regarding how patients integrate proposals for adherence to this food pattern in their daily lives. OBJECTIVE: to identify factors and conditions that influence adherence to the MedDiet in Chile. METHODS: an exploratory qualitative study was applied in 35 to 65-year-old patients of both sexes who presented at least one diagnostic criterion of metabolic syndrome (MetS)...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with obesity. Weight loss is frequently reflected in an amelioration in the severity of the lesions. Case reports have suggested that liraglutide might improve not only weight but also skin. We aimed to study the effects of liraglutide 3mg in patients with obesity and HS on metabolic and dermatological parameters. METHODS: 14 patients started treatment with liraglutide for 3 months. Severity of the lesions was evaluated using the Hurley Staging System and quality of life with the DLQI (Dermatology Quality Index)...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a chronic proinflammatory and prothrombotic condition that exacerbates insulin resistance, oxidative damage, and cardiovascular risk, being more prevalent in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic multisystemic autoimmune disorder. This study aim was to determine the prevalence of MetS and associations with SLE clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk and dietary pattern in a population of Spanish SLE patients...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: some studies have reported links between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the presence of metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether an association exists among 25-hydroxyvitamin D, rs2282679 of the GC gene and metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS: the study involved a population of 134 postmenopausal obese females. Measurements of anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, bone turnover markers, fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, C-reactive protein and prevalence of MS were recorded...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate metabolic syndrome using three methods proposed by  recognizedinternational institutions, and the visceral adiposity (VAI) and dysfunctional adiposity (DAI) indices for prediction and prevalence estimation in working populations. METHODS: Cross-sectional study in workers from different Spanish autonomous communities who underwent a health examination between January 2019 and September 2021 at four occupational risk prevention services...

INTRODUCTION: metabolic syndrome comprises a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, and metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is associated with it. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effect of supplementation with S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N-acetylcysteine + thioctic acid + vitamin B6 (MetioNac®) for 3 months on lipidic and biochemical parameters in subjects with metabolic syndrome and at risk of MAFLD. The reduction in body weight and the oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also evaluated...

INTRODUCTION: Metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and gallstone disease are entities that share similar risk factors. Numerous publications confirm their elevated frequency, but few studies have considered their prevalence and possible association. AIMS: To determine the prevalence of MAFLD in patients with gallstone disease and the usefulness of liver biopsy for diagnosing the liver disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on patients that underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in whom liver biopsy was performed...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The relationship between obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has long been established, and the prevalence of both conditions has grown together. Recent interest in NAFLD in nonobese individuals has led to an increasing number of studies, especially in Asia. Despite the fact that the prevalence of NAFLD in Latin America is one of the highest in the world, there is a lack of information on lean NAFLD populations from the region. The aim of the present study was to assess the risk of metabolic comorbidities across the whole body mass index spectrum when nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was first diagnosed in a Latin American population...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of metabolic morbidity (MM) amongst prison inmates. DESIGN: Multicentric, cross-sectional observational study. SETTING: All (nine) prisons in Catalonia. PARTICIPANTS: Convicted inmates that are not in an «open regime», whose healthcare relies on the Prison Primary Care Teams. INTERVENTIONS: MM was defined as the presence of at least one component of the metabolic syndrome, i...

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that vitamin D deficiency is associated with worse clinical outcomes in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We aimed to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and clinical, biochemical and metabolic parameters in PHPT patients. METHODS: A total of 128 patients with biochemically confirmed PHPT were included. Patients were categorized as vitamin D deficient if 25-OH vitamin D was <50nmol/L, or normal if vitamin D was ≥50nmol/L...

BACKGROUND: despite the relationship of resistin with metabolic syndrome (MS), the relationship of the 5'UTR intron C/T variant SNP rs7139228 of the RETN gene with the presence of MS has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE: the objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of SNP rs7139228 of the RETN gene on circulating resistin levels, as well as on MS in obese subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: a Caucasian population of 1003 obese subjects was enrolled...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Triponderal mass index (TMI) would estimate excess adiposity better than body mass index (BMI), maintaining stable values during childhood. This work aims to determine the correlation between TMI and markers of metabolic risk as well as set values of TMI that are related to an increase of metabolic risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Multicenter, observational, cross-sectional and prospective study in children under 14 years of age with obesity...

BACKGROUND: some studies have evaluated the association of the rs1805134 genetic variant of the LEPR gene with obesity. AIMS: the objective was to explore the association of the rs1805134 genetic variant of the LEPR gene with obesity measures and metabolic syndrome in obese Caucasian adults. METHODS: we conducted a cross-sectional study in 212 obese subjects with body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2. Measurements of adiposity parameters, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin concentration, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, C-reactive protein, and prevalence of metabolic syndrome were determined...

BACKGROUND: The triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) index has been proposed as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. In Mexico, there is a study in young adults that relates it to insulin resistance, but no cutoff point that distinguishes subjects with metabolic syndrome has been defined. OBJECTIVE: To determine the cutoff point for the TG/HDL index that identifies subjects with metabolic syndrome in the Mexican population. METHODS: Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using the criteria established in the Third Report of the Adult Treatment Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program adapted to the Mexican population...

INTRODUCTION: metabolic syndrome (MetS) can have a bidirectional effect on emotional and restrained eating. OBJECTIVES: our aims are to find interrelations between MetS and emotional eating, restrained eating, additionally with depression. METHODS: cross-sectional study. Participants aged between 18 and 63, and mostly were obese (n = 200). Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) were used to find associations between eating patterns and metabolic syndrome...

INTRODUCTION: the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome draws attention to the importance of detecting metabolic syndrome with practical methods in the early period.
