The condition of being underweight is a social problem in Japan among women. However, there is a lack of evidence for dietary guidance for underweight women because there has been no comparison of lipids or HbA1c among underweight, normal weight, and overweight women in different age groups. We analyzed the effect of body size and age on the serum lipid and hemoglobin A1c levels in Japanese women in a cross-sectional study. A total of 26,118 women aged >20-65 years underwent physical examinations between 2012 and 2022. Seventeen percent of women aged >20-29 years were underweight, and 8% of those aged 50-65 years were underweight. Total cholesterol and non-HDL-C concentrations increased with age, but the difference between underweight and overweight individuals was lowest among women aged 50-65 years. On the other hand, the differences in HDL-C, TG, and HbA1c levels between underweight and overweight subjects were greatest in the 50-65 age group, but the differences between underweight and normal weight subjects were much smaller. Considering that, unlike HDL-C, TG, and HbA1c, TC and non-HDL-C increase to levels comparable to overweight levels in underweight women in aged 50-65 years, educating people about a diet that lowers non-HDL-C is necessary even in young underweight women.
体重过轻的状况在日本女性中是一个社会问题。然而,对于体重过轻的女性缺乏饮食指导的证据,因为尚未对不同年龄组体重过轻、正常体重和超重的女性的血脂或糖化血红蛋白进行比较。我们在一项横断面研究中分析了体型和年龄对日本女性血清脂质和糖化血红蛋白水平的影响。2012年至2022年间,共有26118名年龄在20岁至65岁之间的女性接受了体检。20岁至29岁的女性中有17%体重过轻,50岁至65岁的女性中有8%体重过轻。总胆固醇和非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇浓度随年龄增长而升高,但体重过轻和超重个体之间的差异在50岁至65岁的女性中最小。另一方面,体重过轻和超重受试者之间高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、甘油三酯和糖化血红蛋白水平的差异在50至65岁年龄组中最大,但体重过轻和正常体重受试者之间的差异要小得多。考虑到与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、甘油三酯和糖化血红蛋白不同,50至65岁体重过轻的女性中总胆固醇和非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇会升高到与超重水平相当的程度,即使是年轻的体重过轻女性,对她们进行降低非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的饮食教育也是必要的。
