Higher inflammation is associated with cardiometabolic phenotype and biochemical health in women with obesity.
Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism 2022 March 19
Introduction Metabolic or inflammatory markers may predict adverse outcomes in women with obesity. We sought to describe metabolic-obesity phenotypes of women using novel staging tools and investigate relationships with inflammation. Methods In a cross-sectional study, we collected fasting blood samples from sixty-four females with body mass index (BMI) ≥28kg/m2. Participants were classified as metabolically healthy (MHO) or unhealthy (MUO) using the Cardiometabolic Disease Staging System (CMDS) and Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS). Data was analyzed using independent sample t-tests, Pearson's correlations, and multiple logistic regression. Results Mean (SD) age was 40.2 (9.3) years with median (IQR) BMI 31.8 (30.3-35.7) kg/m2. The prevalence of MUO was 46.9% and 81.3% using CMDS and EOSS criteria respectively. Women with raised CMDS scores had higher C3 (1.34 (0.20) vs 1.18 (0.15), p =.001) and CRP (2.89 (1.31-7.61) vs. 1.39 (0.74-3.60), p=.034). C3 correlated with insulin (r =0.52), hemoglobin A1c (r=0.37), and C-peptide (r=0.58), all p<.05. C3 above the median (>1.23 g/L) increased odds of raised CMDS score, when controlled for age, BMI, ethnicity, and smoking (β=7.1, 95%CI 1.78, 28.4, p=.005). Conclusion The prevalence of MUO was lower using CMDS than EOSS. C3 and CRP may be useful clinical biomarkers of risk or treatment targets in women with obesity.
