Abstract EN
Objective.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), metabolic syndrome (MS), and other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in middle-aged and elderly Chinese population at high risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods.
1302 subjects were enrolled from the Huai’an Diabetes Prevention Program.
Results.
BCAAs levels were positively correlated with MS, its components, and CV risk profile.
The odds ratio (OR) for MS among subjects in the fourth quartile of BCAAs levels showed a 2.17-fold increase compared with those in the first quartile.
BCAAs were independently associated with high Framingham risk score even after adjusting for MS and its components ( P < 0.0001 ).
Additionally, the OR for high CV risk was 3.20-fold ( P < 0.0001 ) in participants in the fourth BCAAs quartile with MS compared with participants in the first BCAAs quartile without MS.
Conclusions.
Increased BCAAs levels are independent risk factors of MS and CVD in addition to the traditional factors in middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.
The development of CVD in MS patients with high level BCAAs is accelerated.
Intervention studies are needed to investigate whether the strategy of BCAAs reduction has impacts on endpoints in patients with higher CV risk.
This study is registered with ChiCTR-TRC-14005029.
