Risk factors for metabolic syndrome among obese population are not clear. The role of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Arachidonic acid (AA) Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA), their ratio and vitamin D deficiency as risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) was explored in obese worksite workers.
The 145 obese worksite workers were enrolled and MS was diagnosed using adult treatment panel III criteria. The levels of EPA, AA PUFA were estimated using liquid chromatography-Mass Spectrometer and vitamin D levels with ELISA method. The association of MS with the tertiles of EPA, AA PUFAs, their ratio and vitamin D was estimated by calculating odds ratio and 95% C.I., taking lowest tertiles as the reference group using logistic regression model adjusted for age and gender.
105 out of 145 obese worksite workers; 72.4%, 95% C.I. (64.5%, 79.5%) had metabolic syndrome. The odd of MS was significantly lower in the group having highest tertiles of EPA 0.24 (0.09, 0.71) and was higher 2.0 (1.02, 3.89) in subjects with highest tertiles of AA: EPA ratio. The AA PUFA and vitamin D levels had no significant association with MS.
The low levels of omega 3 PUFA (EPA) and elevated ratio of AA: EPA PUFA was significantly associated with MS in obese works site workers.
肥胖人群中代谢综合征的危险因素尚不清楚。本研究在肥胖的在职员工中探讨了二十碳五烯酸(EPA)、花生四烯酸(AA)、多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)及其比例以及维生素D缺乏作为代谢综合征(MS)危险因素的作用。
招募了145名肥胖的在职员工,并采用成人治疗小组III标准诊断代谢综合征。使用液相色谱 - 质谱仪估算EPA、AA、PUFA的水平,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法测定维生素D水平。通过计算比值比和95%置信区间,以最低三分位数作为参照组,采用经年龄和性别调整的逻辑回归模型,评估代谢综合征与EPA、AA、PUFA三分位数及其比例和维生素D的相关性。
145名肥胖在职员工中有105名(72.4%,95%置信区间为64.5%,79.5%)患有代谢综合征。EPA三分位数最高的组中患代谢综合征的几率显著降低,为0.24(0.09,0.71),而AA与EPA比例三分位数最高的受试者中患代谢综合征的几率较高,为2.0(1.02,3.89)。AA、PUFA水平和维生素D水平与代谢综合征无显著相关性。
在肥胖的在职员工中,ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸(EPA)水平低以及AA与EPA、PUFA比例升高与代谢综合征显著相关。
