The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between plasma omega-3 (ω-3) and appendicular muscle mass index (AMMI) in young and middle-aged individuals; and also to evaluate whether these associations are sex-specific. A cross-sectional study was performed evaluating 1037 individuals aged 20 to 59 years from a sub-sample of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2012. Plasma ω-3 was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and lean mass was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Total plasma ω-3, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) were not associated with AMMI in total sample, men and women after adjustments for confounders. Plasma ω-3 and its subtypes were not associated with AMMI in a subanalysis evaluating young (20 to 44 y) and middle-aged (45 to 59 y) individuals separately. In conclusion, plasma ω-3 fatty acids are not associated with AMMI in young and middle-aged individuals regardless of sex.
本研究的目的是评估血浆ω-3(ω-3)与青年和中年个体的四肢肌肉质量指数(AMMI)之间的关联;并评估这些关联是否具有性别特异性。进行了一项横断面研究,对来自2011 - 2012年国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)子样本的1037名年龄在20至59岁之间的个体进行了评估。通过气相色谱 - 质谱法评估血浆ω-3,通过双能X线吸收法(DXA)评估瘦体重。在对混杂因素进行调整后,总样本、男性和女性的血浆总ω-3、二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)、二十碳五烯酸(EPA)和α-亚麻酸(ALA)与AMMI均无关联。在分别评估青年(20至44岁)和中年(45至59岁)个体的亚分析中,血浆ω-3及其亚型与AMMI均无关联。总之,无论性别如何,血浆ω-3脂肪酸与青年和中年个体的AMMI均无关联。
