Evidence on the association between herpes simplex virus (HSV) and excessive adiposity, such as obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m) and abdominal obesity (waist circumference (WC) >102 or 88 cm), has been inconsistent. We sought to examine whether age-period-cohort (APC) effects could explain for the observed heterogeneities.
Population-based cross-sectional study.
Adults aged 20-49 years with available serological data in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 1999-2012.
Obesity and abdominal obesity.
In men, excessive adiposity was generally not associated with HSV1 or HSV2 (all p>0.05); however, there were positive correlations between HSV seroprevalence and excessive adiposity in certain age and birth cohort groups. Based on APC analysis, abdominally obese men aged 30-40 years showed a nearly 20% increase in risk for HSV1 seropositivity (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR)=1.18; 95% CI 1.10 to 1.27) as compared with abdominally non-obese men of the same age; there was no such association in men of other age groups. Also, men of a large WC who were born before 1962 or after 1979 had a 28% higher risk for HSV2 seropositivity than those of a normal WC in the same birth cohorts (aPR=1.28, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.54); yet the association did not hold for men in other cohorts (aPR=0.86, 95% CI 0.64 to 1.17). In women, a large WC was correlated with a minimally increased HSV1 seroprevalence (aPR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13) but not with HSV2 seropositivity (aPR=1.13; 95% CI 0.99 to 1.28). Likewise, there were strong associations between abdominal obesity and HSV2 seropositivity in subgroups of women participating in the earliest survey cycle (aPR=1.41, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.78) but not in other survey periods (aPR=0.94, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.03).
There was no consistent evidence for strong associations between HSV seropositivity and excessive adiposity in adults. APC analysis results further cautioned the generalisability of previous reports based on 1 or 2 cycles of survey data.
关于单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)与过度肥胖(如肥胖症,体重指数≥30 kg/m²)和腹型肥胖(腰围(WC)>102或88 cm)之间关联的证据并不一致。我们试图研究年龄-时期-队列(APC)效应是否可以解释所观察到的异质性。
基于人群的横断面研究。
1999 - 2012年美国国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)中年龄在20 - 49岁且有可用血清学数据的成年人。
肥胖症和腹型肥胖。
在男性中,过度肥胖一般与HSV1或HSV2无关(所有p>0.05);然而,在某些年龄和出生队列组中,HSV血清阳性率与过度肥胖之间存在正相关。基于APC分析,30 - 40岁的腹型肥胖男性与同年龄的非腹型肥胖男性相比,HSV1血清阳性的风险增加了近20%(调整患病率比(aPR)=1.18;95%可信区间1.10至1.27);其他年龄组的男性则无此关联。此外,WC较大且出生于1962年之前或1979年之后的男性,与同出生队列中WC正常的男性相比,HSV2血清阳性的风险高28%(aPR=1.28,95%可信区间1.17至1.54);但其他队列的男性不存在这种关联(aPR=0.86,95%可信区间0.64至1.17)。在女性中,WC较大与HSV-1血清阳性率略有增加相关(aPR=1.07,95%可信区间1.01至1.13),但与HSV2血清阳性无关(aPR=1.13;95%可信区间0.99至1.28)。同样,在参与最早调查周期的女性亚组中,腹型肥胖与HSV2血清阳性之间存在强关联(aPR=1.41,95%可信区间1.12至1.78),但在其他调查时期则不存在(aPR=0.94,95%可信区间0.85至1.03)。
没有一致的证据表明成年人中HSV血清阳性与过度肥胖之间存在强关联。APC分析结果进一步提醒人们,基于1或2个调查周期数据的先前报告的普遍性存在问题。
