Little is known about the relationship between non-exercise-based estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korea. The current study examined the prognostic role of eCRF in the risk stratification of MetS in a representative sample of Korean older adults (1822 men and 3069 women).
The data used in the current study were extracted from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys IV and V. eCRF was obtained using a previously validated algorithm. MetS was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program definition with the acceptance of a Korean-specific waist circumference cutoff point.
Lower eCRF was significantly correlated with abnormalities in several components of MetS, including abdominal obesity, elevated glucose, elevated triglycerides, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, there was an inverse linear relationship between MetS prevalence and eCRF levels; higher eCRF was significantly and independently associated with lower prevalence of MetS.
The current findings suggest that eCRF can be adopted as a prognostic measure in determining the risk for MetS for elderly persons.
在韩国,人们对非基于运动的心肺功能估计(eCRF)与代谢综合征(MetS)之间的关系知之甚少。本研究在具有代表性的韩国老年人群体(1822 名男性和 3069 名女性)中,检验了 eCRF 在 MetS 风险分层中的预后作用。
本研究使用的数据来自韩国国家健康与营养检查调查 IV 和 V。使用先前验证的算法获得 eCRF。MetS 根据国家胆固醇教育计划的定义定义,同时接受韩国特有的腰围切点。
较低的 eCRF 与 MetS 的几个成分异常显著相关,包括腹部肥胖、血糖升高、甘油三酯升高和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇降低。此外,MetS 的患病率与 eCRF 水平之间存在线性反比关系;较高的 eCRF 与 MetS 患病率较低显著相关。
本研究结果表明,eCRF 可以作为评估老年人 MetS 风险的预后指标。
