RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery reduces incidence of albuminuria and end-stage renal disease in patients with obesity. Effects of bariatric surgery on long-term remission and progression of pre-existing obesity-related renal damage are mainly unexplored. Here we investigate the long-term effects of bariatric surgery compared with conventional obesity care on remission and progression of albuminuria. METHODS: 4047 patients were included in the Swedish Obese Subjects study. Inclusion criteria were age 37-60 years, BMI ≥ 34 kg/m2 in men and BMI ≥ 38 kg/m2 in women. Our analysis comprised 803 patients (19.8% of total population, 357 control, 446 surgery) with pre-existing albuminuria including 693 patients (312 control, 381 surgery) with microalbuminuria, and 110 patients (45 control, 65 surgery) with macroalbuminuria. Surgery patients were treated with banding, vertical banded gastroplasty, or gastric bypass. Control patients received conventional obesity care. RESULTS: Total urinary albumin excretion was 36.5% lower in all patients with albuminuria after 15 years, 44.5% lower in patients with microalbuminuria after 15 years, and 27.8% lower in patients with macroalbuminuria after 2 years following bariatric surgery compared with conventional care. In surgery patients with microalbuminuria, remission to normoalbuminuria was higher (OR, 5.9, 2.2, 3.2, p < 0.001) and progression to macroalbuminuria was lower (OR, 0.28, 0.26, 0.25, p ≤ 0.02) at 2, 10, and 15 years, respectively, compared with control patients. In surgery patients with macroalbuminuria remission to normo- or microalbuminuria was higher (OR, 3.67, p = 0.003) after 2 years. No differences between surgery and control patients with macroalbuminuria were observed after 10 and 15 years. Surgery slowed progression of eGFR decline after 2 years in patients with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria (treatment effect: 1.0 ml/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.001 and 1.4 ml/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.047, respectively). CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery had better effects than conventional obesity care on remission of albuminuria and prevention of eGFR decline, indicating that patients with obesity-related renal damage benefit from bariatric surgery.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major public health problem leading to co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension and kidney failure. Bariatric surgery results in pronounced and maintained weight loss and prevention of obesity-related diseases and their complications. Most studies of bariatric surgery on kidney disease show improvements after surgery. However, long-term studies analyzing hard end-points are lacking. Here we report on the long-term effects of bariatric surgery compared to usual obesity care on incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) alone and in combination with chronic kidney disease stage 4 (CKD4/ESRD). METHODS: 4047 patients were included in the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study. Inclusion criteria were age 37-60 years and BMI ≥ 34 in men and BMI ≥ 38 in women. Patients in the bariatric surgery group (N = 2010) underwent banding (18%), vertical banded gastroplasty (69%), or gastric bypass (13%); controls (N = 2037) received usual obesity care. In this analysis, patients were followed up for a median time of 18 years. The incidence of ESRD and CKD4 was obtained by crosschecking the SOS database with the Swedish National Patient Register. RESULTS: During follow-up, ESRD occurred in 13 patients in the surgery group and in 26 patients in the control group (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.27; 95% CI 0.12-0.60; p = 0.001). The number of CKD4/ESRD events was 23 in the surgery group and 39 in the control group (adjusted HR = 0.33; 95% CI 0.18-0.62; p < 0.001). In both analyses, bariatric surgery had a more favorable effect in patients with baseline serum insulin levels above median compared to those with lower insulin levels (interaction p = 0.010). Treatment benefit of bariatric surgery was also greater in patients with macroalbuminuria at baseline compared to those without macroalbuminuria (interaction p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed for the first time that bariatric surgery is associated with a long-term protection against ESRD and CKD4/ESRD.

AIMS: To characterize the effect of dapagliflozin on albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and to determine whether effects on albuminuria were mediated through changes in glycated haemoblogin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), body weight or eGFR. METHODS: We conducted a post hoc analysis of data pooled from two phase III clinical trials in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on stable angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker therapy, randomly assigned to dapagliflozin 10 mg/day or matched placebo. This analysis included only patients with microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria at baseline. RESULTS: Patients were randomized to receive dapagliflozin 10 mg (n = 167) or placebo (n = 189). Dapagliflozin resulted in greater 12-week reductions in albuminuria compared with placebo: -33.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) -45.4, -18.2]. The reduction in albuminuria was also present after adjusting for age, sex and changes in HbA1c, SBP, body weight and eGFR: -23.5% (95% CI -37.6, -6.3). There was a decrease in eGFR with dapagliflozin versus placebo that was readily reversed 1 week after last dose. No serious renal-related adverse events were observed in any group. CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin was effective in lowering albuminuria in patients with T2DM and hypertension using renin-angiotensin system blockade therapy. Reductions in albuminuria were still present after adjusting for changes in HbA1c, SBP, body weight and eGFR. Dapagliflozin-induced improvements in glycaemic control and reductions in SBP, coupled with other potentially beneficial renal effects, may lead to a reduced long-term renal and cardiovascular risk.

The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between dapagliflozin-mediated reductions in body weight and reductions in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and blood pressure. Data were pooled from seven studies evaluating dapagliflozin 10 mg as monotherapy or combination therapy over 24 weeks. Using linear regression to estimate the contribution of weight loss to HbA1c and blood pressure reductions, the ß-value estimate for HbA1c (%)/kg was 0.028 (p < 0.0001). Weight loss of 2 kg with dapagliflozin contributed to 6% of the total HbA1c reduction. For systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), the ß-value (mmHg/kg) estimates were 0.606 (p < 0.0001) and 0.253 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Weight loss of 2 kg contributed to 28% of the overall SBP reduction, and 24% of the overall DBP reduction. In conclusion, dapagliflozin-mediated weight loss may contribute to overall reductions in HbA1c and blood pressure.

AIMS: This study evaluated change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) associated with ongoing weight change among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with dapagliflozin, a highly selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion and is associated with body weight reductions. METHODS: Patients with T2DM who had inadequate glycaemic control on metformin (MET) alone were enrolled in a 24-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a 78-week extension to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin + MET on body weight. Patients also completed the Study to Help Improve Early evaluation and management of risk factors Leading to Diabetes Weight Questionnaire-9 (SHIELD-WQ-9), a weight change-related HRQOL survey. Difference in proportions of patients treated with dapagliflozin 10 mg + MET (n = 89) or placebo + MET (n = 91) who reported improvement in HRQOL was analysed with Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Dapagliflozin patients had significantly greater weight loss than placebo patients over 102 weeks (p < 0.05). This corresponded to a numerically greater proportion of dapagliflozin-treated patients reporting ongoing weight loss and associated improvements in most HRQOL domains at three different evaluation points (weeks 24, 50 and 102) than placebo-treated patients. In a post-hoc analysis among patients who reported ongoing weight loss regardless of treatment arm, a significantly greater proportion of patients reporting weight loss versus weight gain reported improvements in physical health, self-esteem and overall HRQOL at weeks 24, 50 and 102. CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin-induced weight loss was associated with improvement in overall HRQOL. Overall, ongoing weight loss was associated with improvements in several HRQOL domains compared with weight gain.

AIMS: Dapagliflozin, a highly selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), reduces hyperglycaemia and weight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by increasing urinary glucose excretion. Long-term glycaemic control, body composition and bone safety were evaluated in patients with T2DM after 102 weeks of dapagliflozin treatment. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT00855166) enrolled patients with T2DM [mean: age 60.7 years; HbA1c 7.2%; body mass index (BMI) 31.9 kg/m(2) ; body weight 91.5 kg] inadequately controlled on metformin. Patients (N = 182) were randomly assigned 1 : 1 to receive dapagliflozin 10 mg/day or placebo added to open-label metformin for a 24-week double-blind treatment period followed by a 78-week site- and patient-blinded extension period. At week 102, changes from baseline in HbA1c, weight, waist circumference, total body fat mass as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), serum markers of bone turnover, bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by DXA, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 140 patients (76.9%) completed the study. Over 102 weeks, dapagliflozin-treated patients showed reductions in HbA1c by -0.3%, weight by -4.54 kg, waist circumference by -5.0 cm and fat mass by -2.80 kg without increase in rate of hypoglycaemia. Compared with placebo, no meaningful changes from baseline in markers of bone turnover or BMD were identified over 102 weeks. One fracture occurred in each treatment group. The frequency of urinary tract infection (UTI) and genital infection was similar in both treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Over 102 weeks, dapagliflozin improved glycaemic control, and reduced weight and fat mass, without affecting markers of bone turnover or BMD in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled on metformin.

AIMS: This study evaluated health status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with dapagliflozin, a highly selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing glucose excretion, in a double-blind, randomised clinical trial. METHODS: Subjects with T2DM who had inadequate glycaemic control on metformin alone were enrolled in a 24-week, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study with a 78-week extension period to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin in combination with metformin. Subjects treated with dapagliflozin 10 mg + metformin (n = 89) were compared with subjects treated with placebo + metformin (n = 91) at baseline and at weeks 24, 50 and 102. EQ-5D change from baseline was derived from a repeated-measures mixed model, adjusting for baseline EQ-5D, treatment group, time point and use of rescue medication. RESULTS: Mean (SD) EQ-5D index was 0.85 (0.16) and 0.82 (0.15) at baseline and 0.85 (0.19) and 0.84 (0.19) at week 102 for dapagliflozin and placebo, respectively. The model indicated no change over 102 weeks in EQ-5D index scores in either treatment group. Mean (SD) EQ-5D visual analogue scale (VAS) was 72.5 (19.5) and 73.7 (15.6) at baseline and 79.8 (13.3) and 78.2 (12.1) at week 102 for dapagliflozin and placebo, respectively. The model indicated similar small improvements in EQ-5D VAS scores in both groups over 102 weeks. CONCLUSION: Patients maintained high HRQOL scores from baseline through week 102 in both treatment groups. Dapagliflozin, a novel SGLT2 inhibitor, did not adversely affect HRQOL over 2 years of treatment.

AIMS: Dapagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, reduces hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by increasing urinary glucose excretion. Owing to its mechanism of action, dapagliflozin could potentially affect the renal tubular transportation of bone minerals. Therefore, markers of bone formation and resorption and bone mineral density (BMD) were evaluated in patients with T2DM after 50 weeks of dapagliflozin treatment. METHODS: This international, multi-centre, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00855166) enrolled patients with T2DM (women 55-75 years and men 30-75 years; HbA1c 6.5-8.5%; BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) ; body weight ≤ 120 kg) whose T2DM was inadequately controlled on metformin. One hundred and eighty-two patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive dapagliflozin 10 mg/day or placebo added to open-label metformin for a 24-week double-blind treatment period followed by a 78-week site- and patient-blinded extension period. At week 50, serum markers of bone formation (procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide; P1NP) and resorption (C-terminal cross-linking telopeptides of type I collagen; CTX), bone mineral density (BMD) as assessed by standardized Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) measurements and adverse events of fracture were evaluated as safety objectives. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-five patients (90.7%) completed the first 50 weeks. Compared with placebo, no significant changes from baseline in P1NP, CTX or BMD were identified over 50 weeks of dapagliflozin treatment, with no significant treatment-by-gender interactions. No fractures were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin had no effect on markers of bone formation and resorption or BMD after 50 weeks of treatment in both male and post-menopausal female patients whose T2DM was inadequately controlled on metformin.

Sleep apnoea is associated with increased mortality in sleep clinic and community population groups. It is unclear whether a clinical report of sleep apnoea results in additional mortality risk in patients with severe obesity. The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study is a nonrandomised controlled trial of bariatric surgery versus conventional treatment for the treatment of severe obesity and its complications (mean ± SD body mass index 41 ± 5 kg · m(-2)). The presence or absence of sleep apnoea (witnessed pauses in breathing) was determined by self-reporting at baseline in 3,953 patients who were observed for 54,236 person-yrs (mean 13.5 maximum 21.0 yrs). Sleep apnoea was reported by 934 (23.6%) patients at baseline and was a significant univariate predictor of mortality (hazard ratio (95% CI) 1.74 (1.40-2.18)). In a range of multivariate models of mortality risk, controlling for ≤ 16 other potential confounders and established mortality risk factors, sleep apnoea remained a significant prognostic factor (fully adjusted model 1.29 (1.01-1.65)). Self-reported sleep apnoea is an independent prognostic marker of all-cause mortality in obese patients.

OBJECTIVE: Many short-term studies indicate that 5% weight loss in the obese is enough to induce significant improvements of cardiovascular risk factors. However, it is not known what degree of weight loss is required to improve risk factors over a more extended period of time or how ageing and secular trends per se are influencing risk factors during long-term follow-up. METHODS: Patients examined after 10 years in the intervention study Swedish Obese Subjects were used for the current analysis. Surgically treated subjects (n=959) and conventionally treated obese controls (n=842) were pooled to obtain a study group with a large range of weight changes. The patients were divided in 11 groups based on the amount of weight change. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the necessary weight change over 10 years for a significant alteration of a risk factor. In a linear regression of risk factor change by weight change, the y intercept was interpreted as the effect of 10 years ageing and secular trends on a given risk factor in the absence of weight change. RESULTS: The necessary weight loss for significant improvement of risk factors ranged from 10 to 44 kg. At zero weight change, 10 years of ageing was associated with significant increases in systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and glucose, and with significant decreases in diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin. CONCLUSIONS: The necessary weight loss to maintain a favourable effect on risk factors in an obese population is larger than previously indicated by short-term studies. Treatment effects are influenced by non-weight change-dependant shifts in risk factor levels.

The beneficial effects of weight loss in the obese have been widely accepted. Still, there is a lack of controlled studies displaying large maintained weight losses over long periods (>4 years). We wanted to examine the results of long-standing intentional weight loss on the development of diabetes and hypertension in severely obese individuals over an 8-year period. In the ongoing prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study, 346 patients awaiting gastric surgery were matched with 346 obese control subjects on 18 variables by a computerized matching program. The controls were drawn from a registry consisting of 1508 obese potential controls examined at primary health care centers in Sweden. Of the 692 selected patients (body mass index 41.2+/-4.7 kg/m(2) [mean+/-SD]), 483 (70%) were followed for 8 years. No significant weight changes occurred in the obese control group over 8 years. Gastric surgery resulted in a maximum weight loss of -31.1+/-13.6 kg after 1 year. After 8 years, the maintained weight loss was still 20.1+/-15.7 kg (16.3+/-12.3%). Whereas this weight reduction had a dramatic effect on the 8-year incidence of diabetes (odds ratio 0.16, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.36), it had no effect on the 8-year incidence of hypertension (odds ratio 1.01, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.67). A differentiated risk factor response was identified: a maintained weight reduction of 16% strongly counteracted the development of diabetes over 8 years but showed no long-term effect on the incidence of hypertension.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing dramatically all over the world, leading to suffering as well as high health care costs due to obesity-related co-morbidity. Long-term results from weight loss studies are hard to attain due to the difficulties in sustaining weight losses. Gastric surgery results in large and maintainable weight reductions. The Swedish obese subjects (SOS) study offers a unique possibility for investigating the effects of weight loss as compared with weight stability in obese subjects over a long period of time.

OBJECTIVE: Recently we reported a complete relapse in the blood pressure (BP) of obese subjects despite a maintained 16% weight loss over 8 years. This relapse is now analyzed as a function of several variables. Pulse pressure (PP) is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular mortality. We now examine the development of PP in the obese and whether it can be modified by weight-reducing gastric surgery. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A total of 1157 patients treated with gastric surgery and 1031 obese controls (body mass index of 41.0 +/- 4.6 kg/m(2) [mean +/- SD], age 48 +/- 6 years) were followed for 5.5 +/- 2.1 (range 3 to 10) years. To separate the effect of weight change from effect of time on BP, the patients were divided in cohorts based on follow-up time. RESULTS: Gastric surgery resulted in a maximum weight loss after 1 year that was followed by a moderate relapse. After 5.5 years, weight loss in the intervention group was 18 +/- 11% of initial body weight. Very little weight change was seen in controls. Systolic BP decreased in the intervention group during the first 6 months but had relapsed to control values at last examination. The adjusted change in PP was +4.7 mm Hg in obese controls but +2.9 mm Hg in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Final BP values were more closely related to follow-up time and ongoing weight increase than to initial body weight or initial weight loss. DISCUSSION: Effects of time (aging) and weight change per year on BP can be separated. An early increase in PP could be observed in the obese. This increase could be modified by weight-reducing gastric surgery.

Relationships between 2-year changes in body composition (estimated from computed tomography-validated anthropometry based on sagittal trunk diameter, weight, and height), adipose tissue (AT) distribution, and cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, lipids, glucose, insulin, uric acid) were examined in 842 treated adults with severe obesity with weight changes from -95.5 to +30.6 kg. Although the change (delta) of visceral AT mass (expressed in % total AT) for a given change in body mass index (delta BMI) was 6-fold larger in men than in women, delta waist and delta waist/hip were similar in both sexes. In men, risk factor changes were similarly related to delta waist, delta bodyweight, and delta BMI, whereas in women, delta bodyweight seemed to be the single independent variable with the highest explanatory power. In multivariate regressions adjusted for delta BMI and baseline conditions, delta visceral AT mass was more strongly associated with risk factor changes than were delta waist and delta waist/hip. When using a three-compartment model (lean body mass, subcutaneous and visceral AT masses) plus neck and thigh girths (indicators of subcutaneous AT distribution), risk factor changes were related both to delta subcutaneous and delta visceral AT masses but not to delta lean body mass. In agreement with cross-sectional findings, delta neck was positively and delta thigh was negatively related to some risk factor changes. Thus, the use of waist as a single risk factor indicator seems less effective for epidemiological studies than the simple anthropometric measures presented here, which are able to separate the effects of visceral AT mass, subcutaneous AT mass, and subcutaneous AT distribution on metabolic parameters under both cross-sectional and longitudinal conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of a large, long standing and intentional weight reduction on the incidence of diabetes, hypertension and lipid disturbances in severely obese individuals as compared to weight-stable obese controls. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The ongoing prospective SOS (Swedish Obese Subjects) intervention consists of a surgically treated group and a matched control group obtaining conventional obesity treatment. This report is based on 845 surgically treated patients and 845 controls (BMI 41.0+/-4.6 kg/m2 (mean+/-standard deviation [S])) followed for 2 years. RESULTS: Surgically treated patients lost 28+/-15 kg and controls 0.5+/-8.9 kg (p<0.0001). Two-year incidence of hypertension, diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, and lipid disturbances was compared in the two treatment groups. Adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for the surgically treated group versus controls were 0.38 (0.22, 0.65) for hypertension, 0.02 (0.00, 0.16) for diabetes, 0.10 (0.03, 0.28) for hyperinsulinemia, 0. 10 (0.04, 0.25) for hypertriglyceridemia, 0.28 (0.16, 0.49) for low HDL-cholesterol and 1.24 (0.84, 1.8) for hypercholesterolemia. Compared to controls, the 2-year recovery rates from hypertension, diabetes, hypo-HDL, and hypertriglyceridemia were significantly higher in the surgically treated group. DISCUSSION: Intentional weight loss in the obese causes a marked reduction in the 2-year incidence of hypertension, diabetes and some lipid disturbances. The results suggest that severe obesity can and should be treated.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate a major gene hypothesis for body mass index (BMI) in a large sample of probands (n = 2580, ages 37-57 years) who were selected for obesity (BMI> or =34 kg/m2 for males and > or =38 kg/m2 for females), along with their spouses and first-degree relatives (n = 11,204 family members). The probands were recruited as part of an intervention trial assessing whether mortality and morbidity were improved after surgical intervention for obesity as part of the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The current analyses were based on BMI measures obtained before intervention. Segregation analysis was carried out using the mixed model implementation in PAP (Pedigree Analysis Package), which allowed for ascertainment correction and for genotype-dependent effects of covariates (sex and age) in both the major gene component and the multifactorial (i.e., polygenic and familial environment) component. RESULTS: Both a major effect and a multifactorial effect were significant. The percentage of the total variance accounted for by the multifactorial effect was 17%-24% (increasing as a function of age), and by the major effect, 8%-34% (decreasing as a function of age). Although tests on the transmission probabilities (taus) were not compatible with Mendelian expectations of 1, 1/2, and 0, the equal taus model was rejected (i.e., the effect is transmitted in families) and the point estimates (0.96, 0.60, and 0.17) compared favorably to Mendelian expectations. The major effect was transmitted in a codominant fashion, consistent with a gene-environment interaction. DISCUSSION: These results suggest both multifactorial and major effect etiologies for BMI in these families of extremely obese probands. Before 20 years of age, the major effect dominates the BMI expression, but after age 20, multifactorial effects account for the most variance. Although the major effect is transmitted in these families, the pattern does not appear to be consistent with a simple Mendelian trait. The possibility of additional major loci (i.e., epistasis) and gene by environment interactions may explain these findings.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether upper body obesity and/or visceral obesity are related to cardiovascular risk factors among severely obese subjects, phenomena that have previously been reported in more heterogeneous body weight distributions. 2450 severely obese men and women aged 37 to 59 years, with a body mass index of 39 +/- 4.5 kg/m2 (mean +/- SD) were examined cross-sectionally. Eight cardiovascular risk factors were studied in relation to the following body composition indicators: four trunk and three limb circumferences, along with weight, height and sagittal trunk diameter. From the latter three measurements lean body mass (LBM, i.e., the non-adipose tissue mass) and the masses of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were estimated by using sex-specific prediction equations previously calibrated by computed tomography. Two risk factor patterns could be distinguished: 1. One body compartment-risk factor pattern in which the subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) mass and, in particular, the visceral AT mass were positively related to most risk factors while the lean body mass was negatively related to some risk factors. 2. One subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution- risk factor pattern in which the neck circumference was positively and the thigh circumference negatively related to several risk factors. It is concluded that lean body mass (LBM), visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue masses as well as neck and thigh circumferences, used as indices of subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution, are independently related to cardiovascular risk factors in severely obese men and women.

Abnormal liver tests, as well as morphological changes in the liver, are frequent among obese patients. Other frequent disturbances are visceral fat accumulation, insulin resistance, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension; these are set of aberrations known as the metabolic syndrome. In order to investigate a possible relationship between the metabolic syndrome and impaired liver status we examined associations between liver tests, metabolic variables (insulin, glucose, and triglycerids), body composition and nutrition in 1,083 men (BMI 28.8-63.8 kg/m2) and 1,367 women (BMI 26.7-68.0 kg/m2) in the ongoing intervention study of Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS). Standard biochemical techniques were used to assess liver status and metabolic variables. Lean body mass (LBM) and masses of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) were estimated by means of computed tomography (CT) calibrated anthropometric equations. In both genders aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were, or tended to be, positively correlated to fasting serum insulin, visceral AT (women), and alcohol intake. In women, the aminotransferases were also correlated with fasting blood glucose. In both genders alkaline phosphatase was, or tended to be, positively associated with visceral AT, insulin (women), and glucose. Bilirubin was negatively correlated to insulin and visceral AT in men and women. Additional multivariate analyses indicated that alcohol had less explanatory power than serum insulin for the examined liver tests, especially among women. These results suggest that pathological liver tests in the obese may represent an expression of the metabolic syndrome.
