AbstractAssociations between ferritin and insulin sensitivity have been described in recent studies. The possible association showed conflicting results by sex and menopausal status. We aimed to investigate the cross-sectional association of ferritin levels with insulin resistance and β-cell function. A total of 2518 participants (1033 men, 235 pre-menopausal women and 1250 post-menopausal women) were enrolled from the Changfeng Study. A standard interview was conducted, as well as anthropometric measurements and laboratory analyses, for each participant. The serum ferritin level was measured using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Insulin resistance and β-cell function indices were derived from a homeostasis model assessment. The results showed that the serum ferritin levels were 250·4 (sd 165·2), 94·6 (sd 82·0) and 179·8 (sd 126·6) ng/ml in the men, pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women, respectively. In fully adjusted models (adjusting for age, current smoking, BMI, waist:hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TAG, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, log urine albumin:creatinine ratio, leucocytes, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase), serum ferritin concentrations are significantly associated with insulin resistance in men and post-menopausal females, and the null association was observed in pre-menopausal females. Interestingly, an increased β-cell function associated with higher ferritin was observed in post-menopausal participants, but not in male participants. In conclusion, these results suggested that elevated serum ferritin levels were associated with surrogate measures of insulin resistance among the middle-aged and elderly male and post-menopausal women, but not in pre-menopausal women.

Background. The aim of this study was to identify the relation between vitamin D level and mineral bone density in post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome. Materials and methods. This study included 100 post-menopausal women at age between 50 and 65 with metabolic syndrome. All participants underwent anthropometric measurements. Laboratory tests were performed to determine lipid profile, serum glucose, creatinine, C-reactive protein, vitamin D (25(OH) D), ionized calcium concentration and urine albumin / creatinine ratio. Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (L1– L4) and total hip was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. According to the vitamin D concentration level in the blood all women were divided into four groups: the average failure was observed in 57%, mild failure in 33%, severe failure in 5%; and only 5% of women had normal vitamin levels. The mean 25(OH) D level was 47.40  ±  16.91  nmol/l. According to bone densitometry we found that 77% of all participants had normal bone mineral density, 22% had osteopenia and 5% were diagnosed with osteoporosis. No correlation was found between bone mineral density and 25(OH)  D levels. We found a weak positive correlation between high density lipoprotein cholesterol and 25(OH) D (r = 0.3, p

Objective: To assess the factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in post menopausal women in Bangladesh.Methods: Menopausal women are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This cross-sectional study on 64 willing post menopausal women from an urban and a rural area of Bangladesh was done. The socio-epidemiologic factors with anthropometric examination, blood pressure recording and fasting blood analysis for triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), sugar were studied.Results: Prevalence of MetS was 50.0% (95% CI= 39.9%- 60.1%) among menopausal women, seventy five percent of them were urban. Low HDL cholesterol prevailed in almost 96% respondents followed by high TG (51%), obesity (28.0%), high fasting blood sugar (FBS, 27.1%) and hypertension (HTN, 16.9%). On logistic regression, age (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.3-1. 9), male sex (OR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.4-4.2) and exercise (OR=1.9, 95% CI: 1.2-2.9) produced significantly higher odds of being associated with MetS; rural area (OR=1.4, 95% CI: 1.0-2.1) and sedentary occupation (OR=1.7, 95% CI: 0.9-3.0) were associated just insignificantly. Though higher income, better education, good physical movement and knowledge of MetS produced protective odds, they were not significant.Conclusions: The study suggests that MetS is highly prevalent among Bangladeshi menopausal women. Further studies are needed to identify risk factors and for effective preventive measures to control this metabolic disease.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2016; 34(1): 15-20

This study aims to investigate serum amyloid A, homocysteine, and biochemical-anthropometric measurements in post-menopausal women with and without metabolic syndrome (MS), and determine whether serum amyloid A and homocysteine are linked to MS among this group. This study was performed with 405 post-menopausal Thai volunteers with a mean age of 57.95 ± 5.90 years (135 subjects with MS and 270 subjects without MS). The levels of serum amyloid A, homocysteine, vitamins, glucose, and lipids were measured. Homocysteine levels were significantly higher in the group with MS than in that without MS (p < 0.001), whereas for serum amyloid A, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin B12, there were no significant differences. There were significant differences between the groups in folate, HDL-C, and anthropometric measurements (p < 0.001). Thirty seven percent of the group with MS and 14.1 % of the group without MS were classified as having hyperhomocysteinemia (p < 0.001). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis revealed that hyperhomocysteinemia (odds ratio (OR): 2.67, 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI): 1.57 - 4.58), low folate (OR: 1.79, 95 %CI: 1.11 - 2.89), and BMI (OR: 1.25, 95 %CI: 1.16 - 1.33) were significantly related to MS. These findings suggest that increased homocysteine levels and decreased folate concentrations may influence susceptibility to MS and this effect may be an early event in the development of cardiovascular diseases among post-menopausal women. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate homocysteine levels, especially among post-menopausal Thai women.
