AbstractContext: Outdoor temperature and bright sunlight may directly and/or indirectly modulate systemic metabolism.Objective: We assessed the associations between outdoor temperature and bright sunlight duration with metabolomics.Design: meta-analysis of two cross-sectional studies.Setting: Two population-based European cohort studies.Patients or other participants: Non-diabetic individuals from the Oxford BioBank (OBB; N=6,368; mean age 47.0 years, males 44%) and the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO; N=5,916; mean age 55.6 years, males 43%) studies.Intervention(s): Data on mean outdoor bright sunlight and temperature collected from local weather stations in the week prior to blood sampling.Main Outcome Measure(s): Serum levels of 148 metabolites measured using NMR spectroscopy, including 14 lipoprotein subclasses.Statistical analyses: Multivariable linear regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, season and either outdoor temperature or bright sunlight. Summary statistics from the OBB and NEO cohorts were combined using fixed-effect meta-analyses.Results: A higher mean outdoor temperature was associated with increased concentrations of lipoprotein (sub)particles and certain amino acids such as phenylalanine and leucine. In contrast, longer mean hours of bright sunlight were specifically associated with lower concentrations of very low density lipoprotein (sub)particles. The direction of effects was consistent between the OBB and NEO, although effect sizes were generally larger in the OBB.Conclusions: Increased bright sunlight duration is associated with an improved metabolic profile whilst higher outdoor temperature may adversely impact cardiometabolic health.

SummaryAs evidence accumulates to implicate fibrinogen as a risk indicator for cardiovascular disease, it is of interest to study its seasonal variation. A population based cross-sectional study was performed among participants of the Rotterdam Study, a cohort of 7,983 men and women, aged 55 years and over. Fibrinogen levels were measured by the prothrombin time derived method in the first 2,325 participants of the study. Fibrinogen levels were considerably higher in winter. The seasonal difference was 0.34 g/1 (95% confidence interval 0.29,0.39) and was more pronounced in subjects aged 75 years and over than in subjects aged 55 to 75 years, 0.43 g/1 (0.34,0.52) and 0.29 g/1 (0.24,0.35), respectively. Additional adjustment for body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and total and HDL cholesterol did not materially change the findings. After adjustment for seasons, outdoor temperature was not associated with fibrinogen. Adjustment for outdoor temperature did not change the seasonal variation of fibrinogen, seasonal difference 0.31 g/1 (0.24, 0.37). In conclusion, fibrinogen levels are highest in Winter. The seasonal variation of fibrinogen is more pronounced in the elderly. Outdoor temperature does not seem to play a role in the seasonal variation of fibrinogen. Seasonal variation of fibrinogen may partly explain the increased cardiovascular disease mortality in Winter.
