Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Chinese renal transplant recipients. (44/1519)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Chinese renal transplant recipients, using two different sets of diagnostic criteria. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Regional hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS: All Chinese patients who received solitary living-related or cadaveric kidney transplantation from 1 July 1997 to 31 December 2005 in our hospital with follow-up of more than 6 months were recruited. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII) criteria and the International Diabetes Federation criteria. RESULTS: Using the modified (Asian) NCEP-ATPIII criteria, a total of 39 (32%) of 121 patients had metabolic syndrome, which included 20/69 (29%) of the males and 19/52 (37%) of the females. Using the International Diabetes Federation criteria, metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 26% of the patients, 22% in males and 31% in females. In our patients, the most common component of metabolic syndrome was hypertension and the least common was low high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol level. Low high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were significantly more common in female patients. CONCLUSION: This study shows that there is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our Chinese renal transplant recipients.  (+info)

Serum adiponectin is associated with smoking status in healthy Korean men. (45/1519)

OBJECTIVE: To measure the association between smoking and serum adiponectin, taking into consideration insulin resistance and obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The cross-sectional study was carried out in Seoul, Korea in 2006. Waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and serum adiponectin were measured in 2,500 healthy Korean men. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the association of smoking status with serum adiponectin level. WC, BMI, and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) were classified into two groups according to median values. RESULTS: The mean adiponectin concentrations were 6.6 microg/ml and 7.3 microg/ml in current smokers and non-smokers. After adjusting for age, BMI, and alcohol consumption, mean log adiponectin levels decreased by 0.064 microg/ml in current smokers compared with non-smokers (P = 0.0190). Mean log adiponectin levels also decreased by 0.030 and 0.095 microg/ml in moderate and heavy smokers compared to non-smokers. The relationship between adiponectin and smoking was similar between the high and low insulin resistance, BMI, and WC groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that serum adiponectin levels are associated with smoking status. These data also support that lower serum adiponectin concentrations in smokers may not be dependent on insulin resistance status or obesity.  (+info)
