Abstract
Introduction and Objective: The field has yet to characterize cardiometabolic disease risk profiles in youth using new obesity definitions set by The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission. We compared total, regional, and ectopic adipose tissue fat content & diabetes risk factors across obesity phenotypes in youth with BMI≥95th%. Methods: We used baseline data from the Preventing Diabetes in Latino Youth study that enrolled 117 Latino youth (12-16 y) with obesity (BMI≥95th%). Guided by the Commission’s definitions, we defined Clinical Obesity (CO) as excess body fat (boys>36%, girls>42%) measured by DXA with ≥3 metabolic risk factors; Preclinical Obesity (PO) as excess body fat with 0-2 risk factors; & No Obesity (NO) as having no excess body fat. Metabolic risk factors included glucose intolerance (fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL, 2hr glucose 140-200 mg/dL, or HbA1c 5.7-6.4%), TRG≥110 mg/dL, HDL<40 mg/dL, & SBP or DBP>90th%. We compared total fat mass (FM) & lean mass (LM) using DXA; regional adipose tissue (subcutaneous abdominal [SAAT], visceral [VAT]) & ectopic fat depots (hepatic [HFF] & pancreatic fat fraction [PFF]) using MRI; insulin dynamics (HOMA-IR, Matsuda Index, insulin AUC, oral disposition index [oDI]); glucose regulation (1hr glucose, glucose AUC); and serum adiponectin [AD]. One-way ANOVA was analyzed (α = .05; Bonferroni post-hoc corrections). Results: The prevalence of CO, PO, and NO was 40% (N=47), 41% (N=48), & 19% NO (N=22), respectively. CO & PO showed significantly higher BMI%, waist circumference, FM, BF%, and SAAT (all p<0.05) but not VAT, HFF, or PFF compared to NO. CO demonstrated higher HOMA-IR and insulin AUC compared to PO & NO. CO had lower AD and oDI and higher LM, 1hr glucose, and fasting insulin versus NO. Conclusion: CO is distinguished from PO & NO by higher insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction, and LM. CO and PO were distinguished by total and regional adiposity. New obesity definitions identify youth with greater cardiometabolic disease risk using sub-clinical markers. Disclosure M.L. Shepard: None. A. Pena: None.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
