Association between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and elderly community residents

Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 36, Issue 1

Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic syndrome (MS) disease risk among middle-aged and elderly community residents in Urumqi, and to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and MS among middle-aged and elderly community residents in China.Methods A total of 1 438 community residents ≥ 50 years old were selected as the research subjects from July 2018 to January 2019 in Urumqi. They were selected from a multi-ethnic natural population cohort in Xinjiang. Data were collected through questionnaires, physical examination, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), laboratory tests, etc. Skeletal muscle mass was evaluated using the limb skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) corrected for body weight; MS was defined as it at least includes three of the following: abdominal obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. SMI was divided into four quantile arrays of Q1‒Q4. Trend χ2 test was applied to explore whether there was a correlation between SMI changes and MS. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze whether there is a difference in the risk of MS between the higher SMI group (Q2, Q3, Q4) and the reference group Q1.Result A total of 560 MS patients were detected in this study, with a prevalence rate of 38.94%. Among them, the prevalence rate of MS was 39.16% in males and 38.80% in females. The increase in male SMI grading level is not correlated with the prevalence of MS (trend P>0.05); After adjusting for confounding factors (model 4), the increase in SMI was still not related to the prevalence of MS (Ptrend=0.995). There was no statistical difference in the risk of MS between the lowest quartile group Q1 and the highest quartile group Q4 (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.69‒1.78). The prevalence of MS in women gradually decreased with the increase of SMI grading level (Ptrend<0.001); After adjusting for confounding factors (model 4), there was still a correlation between the increase of SMI and the prevalence of MS (Ptrend=0.005). With the lowest quartile of SMI Q1 as the reference group, the risk of MS in Q2 (OR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.40‒1.00), Q3 (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.34‒0.94), Q4 (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.23‒0.76) decreased.Conclusion An increase in skeletal muscle mass may be beneficial for preventing MS, especially among middle-aged and elderly female residents. Considering the intensification of aging in China and the close relationship between MS and related comorbidities, managing skeletal muscle mass may contribute to potential MS prevention.
