Purpose The effects of excess weight on the development cancers are controversial, and little is known for populations outside United States Europe. We conducted this study to assess with a large cohort Koreans. Methods assessed relationship between body mass index (BMI) various in 10-year follow-up 781,283 Korean men who were free prior cancer at baseline. Weight height measured, questionnaires related health behaviors medical history completed. Data newly developed obtained from two...
Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in the U.S. (age-adjusted prevalence of 23.7%) (1) and Korea (20.8% for men 26.9% women) (2). This well documented to increase risk developing type 2 diabetes cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) associated with an all-cause mortality (3–5). Physical inactivity, excessive weight gain, high alcohol intake, certain dietary factors have been identified as important modifiable metabolic its consequences (2,6,7). Smoking also a strong factor atherosclerosis CVD,...
We examined the relationship between income and education level with BMI waist circumference to provide further understanding of socioeconomic status obesity identify presence sex differences.A total 7962 people >or=20 years age (3597 men; 4365 women) who participated in 1998 Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey provided data including height, weight, circumference, education, level. adjusted according association abdominal by multiple logistic regression analysis.In men,...
Several in vitro studies have suggested the effects of adipokines and insulin resistance on breast cancer cell proliferation survival. However, little is known about clinical significance these findings. We examined associations between recurrence adiponectin, leptin, resistance, metabolic syndrome (MetS) a cohort 747 patients from 2001 to 2004. Adjusted hazard ratios showed an inverse trend across quartiles for serum adiponectin concentration estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone (PR)...
Background Cigarette smoking and obesity are leading public health concerns. Both increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic abnormalities. This study was conducted to assess association between cigarette different types of obesity. Methodology/Principal Findings Two hundred eighty-three visitors university hospitals located in four main provinces South Korea were participated. All participants classified as either current/past or never smokers divided into quartiles...
Summary Objective Controversial data on ghrelin concentration during exercise in human subjects have been published. We tested the hypothesis that could affect acylated (AG) and unacylated (UAG), which partly explain previously reported inconsistent findings association of with changes ghrelin. Design A prospective randomized study. Patients measurements 17 overweight volunteers (11‐year‐old boys) to a 12‐week combined group (EG, n = 8) or control (CG, 9). At baseline, 1, 4 12 weeks, we...
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dairy product intake and incidence metabolic syndrome (MetS) its components among middle-aged Koreans. We examined 7,240 adults aged 40-69 yr without MetS at baseline over a 45.5-month follow-up period. They were taken from Anseong Ansan cohort Korean Genome Epidemiology Study. Dairy including milk, yogurt, cheese assessed with food frequency questionnaire. At follow-up, 17.1%. incidences as follows: low HDL cholesterol...
We investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) assessed using generalised obesity-specific QOL instruments.We recruited 456 outpatients [age: 19-81 years, body mass index (BMI): 16.3-36.7 kg/m2] in primary care division from 12 general hospitals Korea. HRQOL was measured EuroQol comprising health states descriptive system (EQ-5D) visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) as a instrument. The Korean Obesity-related (KOQOL) composed six domains...
Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is of public concern due their persistent exposure and adverse health effects. Placental transfer PFASs an important excretion pathway these chemicals in pregnant women route fetuses. We measured PFAS concentrations maternal, paternal, umbilical cord serum collected from 62 Korean matched biological fathers the rates (cord maternal ratio) were also calculated. Demographics pregnancy-related factors determining placental identified using linear...
Background/Aims Oxidative stress increases the risk of cardiovascular complications metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study was conducted to examine difference in antioxidant capacity according presence MetS, and characterize association between MetS-related factors. Methods We used biological potential (BAP) test estimate capacity. The BAP has recently been as an indicator measured levels 45 patients with MetS (mean age, 44.6 ± 1.1 years) 47 age- sex-matched controls 42.7 years). To evaluate...
Vitamin B2 serves as a cofactor to enhance one-carbon metabolism, maintain mucous membranes, and has been implicated in lowering colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. However, few prospective studies have examined the association between vitamin intake CRC. In this study, we estimated associations CRC risk using Nurses' Health Study (NHS) Professionals Follow-Up (HPFS) cohorts. was measured by validated food frequency questionnaire every 4 years. Among 100,033 women NHS 44,007 men HPFS documented...
