The ageing process can be influenced by energy intake and different macronutrients within the diet. The soluble form of the α-Klotho gene (called S-Klotho) is widely considered as a powerful anti-ageing biomarker.
To analyze the association of energy, dietary energy density and macronutrient intake with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged sedentary adults.
A total of 72 (52.8% women) middle-aged sedentary adults (53.7 ± 5.2 years old) participated in the study. Energy and macronutrients intake (i.e. fat, carbohydrate and protein) were assessed using three non-consecutive 24-h recalls. S-Klotho plasma levels were measured in the Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma using a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
No association was observed between energy, dietary energy density or macronutrient intake and S-Klotho plasma levels in men (all P≥ 0.1). We found an inverse association between energy, protein and carbohydrate intake with S-Klotho plasma levels in women (all P≤0.043), which disappeared after controlling for age, lean mass index and sedentary time. An inverse association was observed between dietary energy density and S-Klotho plasma levels in women after controlling for covariates (all P≤0.05).
In summary, the present study showed an inverse association of dietary energy density with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged women. In addition, our data suggest that the associations between energy and macronutrient intake could be highly dependent on lean mass and sedentary time.
能量摄入和饮食中的不同宏量营养素会影响衰老过程。α-klotho 基因的可溶性形式(称为 S-Klotho)被广泛认为是一种强大的抗衰老生物标志物。
分析中年久坐成年人的能量、饮食能量密度和宏量营养素摄入与 S-Klotho 血浆水平之间的关系。
共有 72 名(52.8%为女性)中年久坐成年人(53.7±5.2 岁)参与了这项研究。使用三份非连续的 24 小时回顾法评估能量和宏量营养素(即脂肪、碳水化合物和蛋白质)的摄入量。使用固相夹心酶联免疫吸附试验在乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)血浆中测量 S-Klotho 血浆水平。
在男性中,未观察到能量、饮食能量密度或宏量营养素摄入与 S-Klotho 血浆水平之间存在关联(所有 P≥0.1)。我们发现女性的能量、蛋白质和碳水化合物摄入与 S-Klotho 血浆水平之间存在负相关(均 P≤0.043),但在控制年龄、瘦体重指数和久坐时间后,这种相关性消失了。在控制了协变量后,女性的饮食能量密度与 S-Klotho 血浆水平之间也存在负相关(均 P≤0.05)。
综上所述,本研究表明中年女性的饮食能量密度与 S-Klotho 血浆水平呈负相关。此外,我们的数据表明,能量和宏量营养素摄入之间的关系可能高度依赖于瘦体重和久坐时间。
