ABSTRACT
To investigate sex differences in the associations among metabolic syndrome, obesity, adipose tissue-related biomarkers, and colorectal adenomatous polyps, a cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted on 489 consecutive individuals who underwent their first colonoscopy at 3 hospitals. Plasma concentrations of adiponectin and leptin, as well as homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance were also evaluated. The presence and number of adenomatous polyps, including advanced adenoma, were higher in men than in women. Metabolic syndrome was a risk factor for adenomatous polyps in both sexes. Large waist circumference was an independent risk factor for adenomatous polyps in men, and high BMI and large waist circumference were risk factors for adenomatous polyps in women. Interestingly, low BMI was associated with large adenomatous polyps (≥10 mm) and advanced adenoma, and waist-hip ratio was involved in proximal adenomatous polyp development only in women. In contrast, the highest quartile of leptin concentration had a 3.67-fold increased adenomatous polyp risk compared with the lowest quartile only in men. These results indicate that regarding colorectal pathogenesis, sex differences were identified in obesity but not in metabolic syndrome. Visceral obesity and a high serum leptin level may be risk factors for colorectal adenomatous polyp development in Japanese men.
