“…In addition, variation in the prevalence of MS could be due to heterogeneity of populations (age distribution, socioeconomic strata or nutritional status) or due to different ethnic populations (different genetic characteristics). In line with our data, several studies from developing countries suggested that physical activity and moderate drinking are protective factors and family history of diabetes, hypertension and CVD and cigarette smoking are risk factors of developing MS [51], [52], [53]. Furthermore, a study among urban Mexican found that both leisure-time and workplace activity at different intensity levels could significantly reduce the risk of MS [54] and this finding was also observed in an animal experiment [55] in Brazil.…”

Background and AimsMetabolic syndrome (MS) is prevalent in recent years but few data is reported in the rural areas in China. The aim of this study was to examine MS prevalence and its risk factors among women in rural China.Methods and ResultsThe Nantong Metabolic Syndrome Study (NMSS), a population based cross-sectional study, was conducted during 2007–2008 in Nantong, China. In person interviews, blood glucose and lipid measurements were completed for 13,505 female participants aged 18–74 years. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the US Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program, the Adult Treatment Panel (ATPIII) and modified ATPIII for Asian population has determined three criteria of MS. These criteria for MS were used and compared in this study. The prevalence of MS was 22.0%, 16.9% and 23.3% according to IDF, ATPIII and ATPIII-modified criteria, respectively. Levels of agreement of these criteria for MS were above 0.75. We found that vigorous-intensity of occupational physical activity was associated with a low prevalence of MS with OR of 0.76 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63–0.91). Rice wine drinkers (alcohol >12.8 g/day) had about 34% low risks of developing MS with OR of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.48–0.91), compared with non-drinkers. Odds ratio of MS was 1.81 (95% CI: 1.15–2.84) in women who smoked more than 20 pack-years, compared to non-smokers. Odds ratio of MS was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.25–1.95) in women who had familial history of diseases, including hypertension, diabetes and stroke, compared to women without familial history of those diseases.ConclusionMS is highly prevalent among women in rural China. Both physical activity and rice wine consumption play a protective role, while family history and smoking are risk factors in MS development. Educational programs should be established for promoting healthy lifestyles and appropriate interventions in rural China.

“…Women generally have a higher percentage of body fat than men and women store more fat in the gluteal-femoral region, whereas men store more fat in the visceral (abdominal) depot 24 . The IDF definition of MetS 19 emphasized the importance of abdominal obesity and Costa et al 25 reinforced the constant presence of abdominal obesity in the MetS phenotype. To further explore whether obesity can affect the ALK7-MetS association, we studied the association of the ALK7 gene polymorphism with MetS in subgroups divided by BMI and WHR, respectively, and found no association in any group.…”

BackgroundActivin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7) is a type I receptor for the TGF-β superfamily and has recently been demonstrated to play an important role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. ObjectiveTo investigate the association of the ALK7 gene polymorphism with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular remodeling in MetS patients. MethodsThe single nucleotide polymorphism rs13010956 in the ALK7 gene was genotyped in 351 Chinese subjects undergoing carotid and cardiac ultrasonography. The associations of the ALK7 gene polymorphism with the MetS phenotype, MetS parameters, and cardiovascular ultrasonic features were analyzed. ResultsThe rs13010956 polymorphism in the ALK7 gene was found to be significantly associated with the MetS phenotype in females (p < 0.05) and was also significantly associated with blood pressure in the total (p < 0.05) and female populations (p < 0.01). Further analysis revealed that rs13010956 was associated with mean intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries in females (p < 0.05). After control for body mass index, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and triglycerides, rs13010956 was also found to be significantly associated with left ventricular mass index in the total (p < 0.05) and female populations (p < 0.05). ConclusionOur findings suggested that the ALK7 gene polymorphism rs13010956 was significantly associated with MetS risk in females and may be involved in cardiovascular remodeling in MetS patients.

“…Even in this same finding, high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia and fasting glycemia greater than or equal to 100mg / dL were the most prevalent risk factors, and MS was diagnosed in 17.4%. 24 Rosa et al postulated, in a study involving 262 male BA military men aged 19 to 49 years old, selected for the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, that there is an inverse relationship between HDL-C and CC, evidencing instruments indirect predictors of CNCD. 8 A survey by the French Army analyzed 2045 military men aged 20 to 58 partially concluded that, even doing military physical training, 9% of military personnel had at least 3 risk factors for MS, and the frequency of hypertension was 51%, hyperglycemia 5%, altered triglycerides of 17%.…”

Introduction: The Brazilian Army (BA) considers Military Physical Training (MPT) essential for the development of physical conditioning and general health, including prevention of chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs), including metabolic syndrome (MS) risk factors. The evaluation of body composition using dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) quantifies the visceral fat responsible for several types of disease. Objective: To verify the behavior among the body composition, anthropometric, hemodynamic and biochemical variables by means of the physical performance of military personnel with MS (W/MS) and without MS (NO/MS). Methods: The sample consisted of 41 (38.9 ± 2.3 years, 177.8 ± 6.4 cm, 91.5 ± 11.9 kg) military personnel, with 28 individuals diagnosed as W/MS and 13 individuals as NO/MS. Data collection was divided into three days. An anthropometric assessment was performed on the first day. On the second day, the subjects underwent biochemical tests of MS markers, blood pressure (BP) checks, and DXA examinations. On the third day, a physical assessment was applied according to the requirements of the BA (12-minute run, pushups and pullups). Results: There was a significant difference between W/MS and NO/MS subjects in the variables of HDL-C, Diastolic BP, Systolic BP and Waist Circumference. None of the physical variables presented a significant difference. There was also a significant difference between groups for all body composition and anthropometric variables. Conclusion: NO/MS subjects have better mean body composition, BP and anthropometric values than W/MS subjects, which may indicate that they are at less risk of CNCDs. The fact that the military subject is or is not a carrier of MS did not influence the performance of the tests applied. Level of Evidence I; Diagnostic studies - Investigation of a diagnostic test.
