    Low serum 25(OH)D levels are associated to higher BMI and metabolic syndrome parameters in adult subjects in Turkey
    (MAKERERE UNIV, FAC MED, 2015-01-01) Tosunbayraktar, Guler; Bas, Murat; Kut, Altug; Buyukkaragoz, Aylin Hasbay
    Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of 25(OH) D levels with biochemical, anthropometric, and metabolic data obtained from normal and obese people. Methods: This study was carried out on 90 individuals between the ages of 18 to 63 that had various body mass indexes. Blood samples and anthropometric measurements were taken. Results: Waist circumferences, fat mass, LDL cholesterol levels, HDL cholesterol levels, 25(OH) D levels, and triglyceride levels were significantly different according to the body mass index groups of the participants (p<0.05). When compared to the normal body mass index group, both other groups (overweight and obese) had higher waist circumferences, triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol levels, fasting insulin levels, HOMA-IR ratios, parathyroid hormone levels, and fat mass, and had lower 25(OH) D levels (p<0.05). The overweight group participants had higher 25(OH) D levels than the obese group, and had lower waist circumferences, fat mass, fasting insulin level, HOMA-IR ratios, and HbA1C and PTH levels than those in the obese group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the mean level of 25(OH) D is very low in overweight and obese individuals and low serum 25(OH) D levels appear to be associated with obesity, visceral obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome in obese patients.

    Predicting metabolic syndrome by visceral adiposity index, body roundness index, dysfunctional adiposity index, lipid accumulation product index, and body shape index in adults
    (ARAN EDICIONES, S L, 2022-01-01) Gocer, Duygu Bilgin; Bas, Murat; Bicer, Nihan Cakir; Hajhamidiasl, Ladan
    Introduction: the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome draws attention to the importance of detecting metabolic syndrome with practical methods in the early period. Objectives: to compare anthropometric measurements and indexes for prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults. Methods: the study was conducted with adults classified as MetS (n = 92) and a control group (n = 137) according to the International Diabetes Federation. Anthropometric measurements, visceral adiposity index (VAI), dysfunctional adiposity index (DAI), A body shape index (ABSI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), body roundness index (BRI), glucose, lipid biomarkers, and blood pressure (BP) levels were compared. A ROC analysis was performed. Results: MetS frequency was determined to be 40.2 \% (n = 92). All biochemical parameters except high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and BP levels, all anthropometric measurements, and all index values except ABSI of the MetS group were higher than in the control group (p < 0.001). DAI had the highest discriminatory ability for MetS (AUC = 0.921). While the discriminatory ability of LAP was slightly lower (AUC = 0.915), ABSI had the lowest ability for MetS (AUC = 0.606). Conclusion: according to the study findings, MetS was found in almost half of individuals, and the LAP index and DAI can be used as predictive tools for early detection of MetS.

    Restrained, emotional eating and depression can be a risk factor for metabolic syndrome
    (ARAN EDICIONES, S L, 2022-01-01) Akillioglu, Tugce; Bas, Murat; Kose, Gizem
    Introduction: metabolic syndrome (MetS) can have a bidirectional effect on emotional and restrained eating. Objectives: our aims are to find interrelations between MetS and emotional eating, restrained eating, additionally with depression.Methods: cross-sectional study. Participants aged between 18 and 63, and mostly were obese (n = 200). Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) were used to find associations between eating patterns and metabolic syndrome.Results: our study ensured evidences for physiological relations between restrained and emotional eating with MetS. Biochemical parameters showed that restrained eaters were less insulin resistant and participants with MetS had higher emotional eating and lower restrained eating. Besides, restrained eaters had lower triglyceride, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting insulin, blood glucose, and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels
