    Association between mild renal dysfunction and insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome in a random nondiabetic population sample
    (Karger, 2007) Onat, Altan; Hergenc, Gulay; Uyarel, Huseyin; Ozhan, Hakan; Esen, A. Metin; Karabulut, Ahmet; Albayrak, Sinan
    Aims: The association of mild renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 60-89.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) with insulin resistance (IR) or metabolic syndrome (MS) needs be investigated in a population in which MS prevails. Methods: After excluding subjects with diabetes mellitus, 1,678 subjects from a representative cohort (median age 52 years) were studied cross sectionally. eGFR was based on serum creatinine concentrations using the quadratic GFR equation and categorized by 90 and 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) as limits. MS was identified using the modified criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel-III. Results: In men, whereas MS was not significantly associated with a reduced eGFR category when controlled for homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), HOMA adjusted for MS or for its components was significantly associated with the likelihood of a reduced eGFR. This likelihood was increased by 14% with a doubling of HOMA in men. Age was the dominant correlate of reduced eGFR in women, whereby an association with HOMA was not significant. Conclusion: Mildly impaired kidney function is common in nondiabetic adults among whom MS prevails, and in men it is mainly associated with IR but not with central obesity and MS-related dyslipidemia. The quadratic GFR equation enables an acceptable estimation of GFR in a general population. Copyright (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.

    Mild Renal Dysfunction Among Turkish Adults: Prevalence and Its Association With Insulin Resistance
    (Turk Nefroloji Diyaliz Transplantasyon Dergisi, 2006) Onat, Altan; Yazici, Mehmet; Hergenc, Gulay; Uyarel, Huseyin; Esen, A. Metin; Karabulut, Ahmet; Can, Gunay
    Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of mild renal dysfunction and its association with insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) or its components among Turkish adults. Methods: Serum creatinine concentrations were measured in 1048 male and female subjects. After excluding cases with diabetes mellitus, 933 participants of a representative cohort were studied cross-sectionally. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated based on serum creatinine concentrations using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. GFR was divided into 3 categories constituting chronic kidney disease stages 2 and 3 3. MS was identified by modified criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel-III. Results: MS existed in 38.7% of the cohort. Mild renal dysfunction (estimated GFR 60 to 89.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) existed in 50% of the study sample in both genders. Compared to the group with normal GFR, in category II, age-adjusted estimates of body mass index, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, blood pressures, total, HDL-, LDL-cholesterol and serum proteins were all significantly elevated in both genders, as were apo B and log TSH in women alone. Stated variables were also significantly and inversely correlated with GFR. Whereas MS was not significantly associated with GFR categories, nor with reduced GFR when controlled for HOMA, HOMA D adjusted for MS as well as for sex, age and systolic BP-was significantly associated with likelihood for reduced GFR. Conclusions: Mild impairment of kidney function is very common in nondiabetic middle-aged and elderly adults, is associated mainly with IR and related cardiovascular risk factors, in the absence of MS-related atherogenic dyslipidemia. IR is important even in mild reduction in GFR, an action independent of central obesity-related components of MS.

    Prospective epidemiologic evidence of a "protective" effect of smoking on metabolic syndrome and diabetes among Turkish women-without associated overall health benefit
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2007) Onat, Altan; Özhan, Hakan; Esen, A. Metin; Albayrak, Sinan; Karabulut, Ahmet
    Sex-specific effects of cigarette smoking on the development of metabolic syndrome (MS) and diabetes (DM), concomitant with its clinical impact on CHD, were prospectively evaluated in a cohort of 3385 participants (mean age 48 years), representative of Turks. Heavy smoking denoted smoking 11 or more cigarettes daily. During a mean 5.9-year follow-up, 485 incident cases of MS and 216 of DM were diagnosed. Among women, baseline characteristics as a whole were similar. Smoking status was inversely associated with waist circumference (P = 0.004) and predicted in women hyperinsulinemia (p = 0.045) after adjustment for age and body mass index. In the prediction of MS, heavy smoking was significantly "protective" (RR 0.50 [95% CI 0.26; 0.94]) in women and in both genders combined, after adjustment for age, baseline family income bracket and physical activity grade. As predictor of new DM, heavy smoking was significantly "protective" (RR 0.54 (95% CI 0.35; 0.83]) in all adults and in women (RR 0. 13 [95% CI 0.02; 0.97]), after similar adjustment. Additional adjustment for insulin and CRP levels hardly modified in women the RRs, though attenuated to borderline significance risk for MS and DM due to smaller sample size. Risks of incident CHD and overall mortality were significantly elevated in smoking men, but not in women, when adjusted for age, serum total cholesterol, elevated BP, DM and physical activity grade. Conclusions: Heavy cigarette smoking is "protective" of future MS and DM in Turkish women, mainly via protection from obesity. A separate modest effect on central obesity appeared independent of plasma insulin concentrations. Evidence of a translated beneficial effect on subsequent CHD or all-cause mortality did not emerge.
