A greater fat-free mass (FFM) could be negatively or positively associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship of FFM with MS, through three determinations; absolute FFM, relative to body weight FFM% and relative to squared height (FFMi).
We conducted a cross-sectional study on 1,008 obese Caucasian females. Fat-free mass index (FFMi) was calculated by dividing FFM by squared height [FFM (kg)/height (m2)]. Fat-free mass percentage (FFM%) was calculated (absolute FFM/body weight) x100.
The odds ratio adjusted by age of having MS per tertiles were significantly higher in tertile 3 of FFM (OR=1.74, 95% CI=1.26-2.41; p=0.01) and FFMi (OR=3.38, 95% CI=2.42-3.72; p=0.001) and tertile 2 of FFM (OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.08-1.94; p=0.02) and FFMi (OR=2.37, 95% CI=1.75-3.20; p=0.01) compared with its reference (tertile-1). In contrast, odds ratio adjusted by age of having MS per tertiles were significantly lower in tertile-3 of FFM% (OR=0.29, 95% CI=0.20-0.41; p=0.01) and tertile- 2 of FFM% (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.51-0.91; p=0.01) compared with its reference (tertile-1).
The prevalence of MS relative to FFM varies depending on the method used to represent it.
去脂体重(FFM)的增加可能与代谢综合征(MS)呈负相关或正相关。本研究旨在通过三种方法评估 FFM 与 MS 的关系:绝对 FFM、FFM 占体重的百分比(FFM%)和 FFM 占身高的平方(FFMi)。
我们对 1008 名肥胖白种女性进行了横断面研究。FFM 指数(FFMi)通过将 FFM 除以身高的平方[FFM(kg)/身高(m2)]计算得出。FFM%(绝对 FFM/体重)×100 计算得出。
按年龄调整的 MS 发生优势比在 FFM 三分位的第三分位显著更高(OR=1.74,95%CI=1.26-2.41;p=0.01)和 FFMi(OR=3.38,95%CI=2.42-3.72;p=0.001),在 FFM 三分位的第二分位(OR=1.45,95%CI=1.08-1.94;p=0.02)和 FFMi(OR=2.37,95%CI=1.75-3.20;p=0.01)也显著高于其参考值(三分位-1)。相比之下,按年龄调整的 MS 发生优势比在 FFM%三分位的第三分位(OR=0.29,95%CI=0.20-0.41;p=0.01)和 FFM%三分位的第二分位(OR=0.68,95%CI=0.51-0.91;p=0.01)显著低于其参考值(三分位-1)。
MS 的患病率与 FFM 相关,这取决于表示 FFM 的方法。
