BREAKFAST SKIPPING IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AMONG ADULTS : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background: While certain lifestyle habits may be associated with arterial stiffness, there is limited literature investigating the relationship between lifestyle habits and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aims : This systematic review is to review the association of breakfast skipping and the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults. Methods: This study demonstrated compliance with all requirements by means of a comparison with the standards established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020. Thus, the specialists were able to guarantee that the research was as current as feasible. Publications released between 2014 and 2024 were considered for this search strategy. This was accomplished by utilizing a number of distinct online reference sites, including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and SagePub. It was determined that reviews, previously published works, and partially completed works would not be included. Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 569 articles, whereas the results of our search on SAGEPUB brought up 2731 articles, our search on SCIENCE DIRECT brought up 1382 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 335 articles for PubMed, 1173 articles for SAGEPUB and 864 articles for SCIENCE DIRECT. In the end, we compiled a total of 7 papers, 4 of which came from PubMed, 1 of which came from SAGEPUB and 2 of which came from SCIENCE DIRECT. We included seven research that met the criteria. Conclusion: In summary, breakfast skipping is associated in increasing of type 2 diabetes in adults but also need more studies because the studies of this topic is limited and less reported.

Longitudinal Changes in Arterial Stiffness Associated with Physical Activity Intensity: The Toon Health Study

Several studies have revealed an association between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and arterial stiffness, which is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, a few studies have considered the difference in the longitudinal effect of its intensity in a large general population. Therefore, we examined the effect of MVPA intensity on longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness. We conducted a prospective cohort study involving 1,982 Japanese men and women. Arterial stiffness was measured using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) at baseline and 5-year follow-up. Physical activity was quantified using the Japan Arteriosclerosis Longitudinal Study Physical Activity Questionnaire and categorized into quartiles as MVPA levels. Linear mixed models were used to examine the differences at baseline and the rate of changes in CAVI associated with MVPA levels for over 5 years. The multivariable-adjusted mean differences in CAVI at baseline were significantly lower in the third (β=-0.019 [95% confidence interval {CI}=-0.033 to -0.005]) and fourth (β=-0.018 [95% CI=-0.035 to -0.001]) quartiles of the MVPA group compared with those in the lowest quartile of MVPA, and the significant effect persisted 5 years later. In summary, this study provides evidence to support the existence of a threshold for beneficial levels of MVPA in the prevention of arterial stiffness. Furthermore, this study suggests that exceeding this threshold may exert similar effects on arterial stiffness. These findings suggest that an optimal level of MVPA exists for preventing arterial stiffness, and exceeding this threshold may not engender additional benefits.

Association Between Progression of Arterial Stiffness and Left Ventricular Remodeling in a Community-Based Cohort

BackgroundCross sectionally measured, elevated arterial stiffness is associated with unfavorable left ventricular (LV) remodeling, suggesting its important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. However, data linking the degree of arterial stiffness progression with LV remodeling are scarce. ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the association between longitudinal change in arterial stiffness and changes in LV remodeling. MethodsSerial measurements of arterial stiffness by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were performed in 317 participants without cardiovascular disease and with normal arterial stiffness. LV size, mass, and function were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and including LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) by speckle-tracking and tissue Doppler velocity (e’) of the mitral annulus (diastolic function). ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 26.8 mo, there was a significant increase in CAVI (P < 0.001). Generalized estimating equation analyses showed that longitudinal increase in CAVI was associated with impaired LVGLS (estimate 0.46, 95% CI: 0.11-0.82; P = 0.010) after adjustment for demographics and baseline cardiovascular factors, but not with changes of LV mass index and e’ velocity. When controlling for longitudinal change of covariates, CAVI progression remained associated with change in LVGLS (estimate 0.50, 95% CI: 0.16-0.85; P = 0.004). In sex stratified analysis, progression of CAVI was significantly associated with LVGLS deterioration only in women (estimate 0.92, 95% CI: 0.27-1.58; P = 0.006). ConclusionsLongitudinal increase in arterial stiffness is associated with deterioration in LVGLS. Vascular-ventricular coupling plays an important role in the progressive decline in ventricular function even at an early, subclinical stage.

Longitudinal Changes in Arterial Stiffness and Heart Rate Variability in Youth-Onset Type 1 Versus Type 2 Diabetes: The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study.

We compared arterial stiffness and heart rate variability (HRV) over time by diabetes type and determined the risk factors associated with worsening arterial stiffness and HRV in young adults with youth-onset diabetes. Arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index) and six indices of heart rate variability were measured twice, 4.5 years apart, among participants with either youth-onset type 1 or type 2 diabetes in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study. Multivariable linear regression models were used to assess risk factors associated with arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up. Of 1,159 participants studied, 949 had type 1 diabetes (mean age 17.1 ± 4.7 years, 60.3% non-Hispanic White, 55% female) and 210 had type 2 diabetes (mean age 22.1 ± 3.5 years, 23.8% non-Hispanic White, 71% female) at initial assessment when diabetes duration was 7.9 years (both groups). Participants with type 2 versus type 1 diabetes had greater arterial stiffness and more abnormalities in HRV at initial and follow-up assessment and a greater change over time (all P < 0.05). Risk factors associated with worse arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up in both types of diabetes included higher blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, waist circumference, and triglycerides over time and longer diabetes duration. Arterial stiffness and HRV worsened over time with greater changes among participants with type 2 versus type 1 diabetes and among those with features of the metabolic syndrome. The risk factor profile documents potentially modifiable pathways to prevent or limit cardiovascular complications in young adults with youth-onset diabetes.

345-OR: Longitudinal Changes in Arterial Stiffness and Heart Rate Variability in Youth-Onset Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes

Limited data exist examining arterial stiffness and heart rate variability (HRV) over time in young adults with youth-onset type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) . We compared arterial stiffness and HRV over time and by diabetes type and determined the risk factors associated with worsening arterial stiffness and HRV. Arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index) and HRV (SDNN and PNN50) were measured twice (∼ 5 years apart) in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Linear regression models assessed risk factors overtime and with arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up. Of 1159 participants studied, 949 had T1D (mean age 17.1 ± 4.7 years, 60.3% non-Hispanic White, 55% female) and 2had T2D (mean age 22.1 ± 3.5 years, 23.8% non-Hispanic White, 71% female) at initial assessment when diabetes duration was 7.9 years (both groups) . Participants with T2D vs. T1D had greater arterial stiffness and more abnormalities in HRV at initial and follow-up assessments (Figure) .For AIx and PNN50 T2D compared to T1D had a greater change over time (p&amp;lt;0.05) . Risk factors associated with worse arterial stiffness and HRV at follow-up in both T1D and T2D included higher BP, HbA1c, waist circumference, and triglycerides overtime, and longer diabetes duration. Arterial stiffness and HRV worsened over time with greater changes among those with T2D and features of the metabolic syndrome regardless of diabetes type. Disclosure A.S. Shah: None. R.

Longitudinal changes in vascular stiffness and heart rate variability among young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes: results from the follow-up observational treatment options for type 2 diabetes in adolescents and youth (TODAY) study.

(1) To describe changes in arterial stiffness and heart rate variability (HRV) over a 5-year interval, (2) examine changes by sex and race-ethnicity, and (3) evaluate the risk factors associated with the longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness and HRV. Participants with youth-onset type 2 diabetes enrolled in the observational follow-up phase of the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) clinical trial had arterial stiffness [(pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, brachial distensibility] and six indices of HRV measured 5 years apart. Multivariable linear regression models assessed risk factors associated with changes in the outcomes over time. At initial vascular assessment, the 304 participants were a mean age of 21 years, 34% male, and had a mean diabetes duration of 8 years. In more than half the cohort pulse wave velocity, augmentation index and HRV increased over 5 years (p<0.01). Brachial distensibility did not change. There were no differences in the 5-year change by race/ethnicity except for a single HRV measure, where non-Hispanic Blacks had greater worsening of parasympathetic function compared to non-Hispanic Whites, p = 0.008. Blood pressure was related to greater worsening in augmentation index and pulse wave velocity. Higher hemoglobin A1c over time was related to worsening pulse wave velocity and HRV. Arterial stiffness and HRV worsened over 5 years. Blood pressure and glycemic control may be potential targets to influence adverse changes in arterial stiffness and HRV in young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes.

Longitudinal change in arterial stiffness after delivery in women with preeclampsia and normotension: a prospective cohort study

BackgroundPreeclampsia is associated with increased arterial stiffness during pregnancy. However, data on the longitudinal change in arterial stiffness after delivery in women with preeclampsia are lacking. In this pilot study, we aimed to examine the longitudinal change in arterial stiffness using the cardio-ankle vascular index after delivery in women with preeclamptic and normotensive pregnancies.MethodsWe enrolled pregnant women with preeclampsia (n = 37) and normotension (n = 36) who gave birth at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between March 2013 and May 2016, and followed-up at day 1, 6 months, and 12 months after delivery. The longitudinal change in the cardio-ankle vascular index and other variables (blood pressure, lipid profiles, serum creatinine, and liver enzymes) were compared between the two groups using the mixed-effects model, and interactions among the main predictors were examined.ResultsThe longitudinal change in the cardio-ankle vascular index did not significantly differ between the two groups (β = 0.11, 95% CI: − 0.31–0.54, p = 0.60). Predictors of the longitudinal change in the cardio-ankle vascular index included age, time since delivery, body mass index, and diabetes mellitus. Women with preeclampsia showed significantly elevated blood pressure, lipid profiles, serum creatinine, and liver enzymes compared to women with normotension over the course of 1 year of follow-up.ConclusionsPreeclampsia is associated with unfavorable blood pressure and metabolic indices after delivery. However, we found no difference in the longitudinal change in arterial stiffness between women with preeclampsia and normotension over the course of 1 year after delivery.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on October 29, 2019 (NCT04142268).

VP48.09: Longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in pregnancies complicated by diabetes

VP48.09: Longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in pregnancies complicated by diabetes

Lower intake of saturated fatty acids is associated with persistently higher arterial stiffness in patients with type2 diabetes.

Aims/IntroductionThere are few studies to investigate the relationship between macronutrients and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This exploratory study sought to determine whether macronutrients were correlated with increased arterial stiffness independently of conventional atherosclerotic risk factors.Materials and MethodsThe study participants comprised 733 type 2 diabetes outpatients who had no apparent history of cardiovascular diseases. The dietary schedule was assessed with a validated, brief, self‐administered diet history questionnaire. At baseline and at years 2 and 5, brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity was measured. A multivariable linear mixed‐effects model was used to determine the predictive values of macronutrients and atherosclerotic risk factors for longitudinal changes in brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity.ResultsThere was a significant increase in brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity values over the 5‐year follow‐up period. In a multivariable linear mixed‐effects model that adjusted for age and sex, lower saturated fatty acid intake was significantly correlated with persistently higher brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity, independently of other atherosclerotic risk factors. Lower intake of dairy products in particular showed this correlation.ConclusionsOur data showed that lower saturated fatty acids intake was correlated with persistently higher brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity in type 2 diabetes patients. Among food sources of saturated fatty acids, lower dairy products specifically were correlated with elevated brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity. This might be because the consumption of dairy products in Japan is much lower than in Western countries.

Does Poorer Pulmonary Function Accelerate Arterial Stiffening?

Whether poorer pulmonary function accelerates progression of arterial stiffness remains unknown as prior observational studies have not examined longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in relation to earlier pulmonary function. Data (N=5342, 26% female) were drawn from the Whitehall II cohort study. Participants completed repeated assessments of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1, L) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV, m/s) over 5 years. The effect of FEV1 on later cf-PWV and its progression was estimated using linear mixed-effects modeling. Possible explanatory mechanisms, such as mediation by low-grade systemic inflammation, common-cause explanation by preexisting cardiometabolic risk factors, and reverse-causation bias, were assessed. Poorer pulmonary function was associated with later higher cf-PWV and its subsequent progression (cf-PWV 5-year change 0.09, 95% CI 0.03–0.17 per SD lower FEV1) after adjustment for age, sex, ethnicity, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure. Decrease in pulmonary function was associated with later higher cf-PWV (0.17, 95% CI 0.04–0.30 in the top compared to bottom quartile of decline in FEV1). There was no evidence to support mediation by circulating CRP (C-reactive protein) or IL (interleukin)-6. Furthermore, arterial stiffness was not associated with later FEV1 after accounting for cardiometabolic status. In conclusion, poorer pulmonary function predicted future arterial stiffness. These findings support pulmonary function as a clinically important risk factor for arterial stiffness and provide justification for future intervention studies for pulmonary function based on its relationship with arterial stiffness.

Association of retinal vessel calibers and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness

Morphological change in retinal vessel calibers has been reported as a marker of cardiovascular risk, but its association with arterial stiffening, a possible factor relating retinal vessel sings and cardiovascular outcomes, is not clear. The study aim was to clarify the relationship between retinal small vessel calibers and longitudinal change in large arterial stiffness in a sample of the general population. The study included 6720 Japanese participants (52.1 ± 12.8 years). Central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE) and venular equivalent were measured by fundus photography. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by brachial-to-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) at baseline and at 5 years. The overall change in baPWV (ΔbaPWV) during a mean follow-up 1814 ± 136 days was 41 ± 131 cm/s (3.4 ± 9.9%), and was significantly increased in individuals with narrower CRAE (quartiles: Q1, 4.3 ± 10.6%; Q2, 3.3 ± 10.0%; Q3, 3.1 ± 9.3%; Q4, 3.1 ± 9.7%, P = 0.001). No significant association was observed with central retinal venular equivalent. Multivariate analysis identified CRAE as a significant inverse determinant of ΔbaPWV (β = -0.033, P = 0.006) independent of possible covariates including age, sex, blood pressure, and baseline baPWV. The association between CRAE and ΔbaPWV was prominent in a middle-aged (age Q2, β = -0.078, P = 0.002), but not younger (Q1, P = 0.232) or older (Q3, P = 0.427; Q4, P = 0.542) participants. Narrower CRAE in middle-age was associated with the long-term risk of arteriosclerosis in a general population sample.

Determinants of the Change in Arterial Stiffness in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with end-stage renal failure. However, little is known about the factors that contribute to arterial rigidity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of this study was to define the pattern and determinants of the longitudinal change in arterial stiffness after PD initiation.Arterial stiffening was estimated for 46 PD patients by using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). The cross-sectional relationship between the arterial markers and their clinical determinants was studied. The longitudinal effects of blood pressure (BP), body fluid status, and glucose were studied over the two years after initiating PD.Multivariate analysis showed that higher baPWV was associated positively with urinary protein excretion (P < 0.001), systolic BP (P = 0.001), and hemoglobin A1c (P = 0.003). In contrast, increased cIMT correlated with smoking (P = 0.004) and hypoalbuminemia (P = 0.04), suggesting that endothelial dysfunction is implicated in the atherogenic process. Neither cIMT nor baPWV correlated significantly with other PD-related covariates of volume overload, peritoneal solute transport, kidney function, and C-reactive protein. Longitudinal observation demonstrated that BP had a greater influence on baPWV changes than hyperglycemia or fluid status.Our study indicates that 1) baPWV represent an arterial marker that integrates multifactorial interaction between modifiable variables including BP and plasma glucose; and 2) intervention aimed at controlling BP as well as nutritional conditions (glucose and albumin) may reduce CVD risk in PD patients.

Association of Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Change in Arterial Stiffness With Gene Expression in the Twins UK Cohort.

We investigated whether expression of genes previously implicated in arterial stiffening associates with cross-sectional and longitudinal measures of arterial stiffness. Women from the Twins UK cohort (n=470, aged 39-81 years) had gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines measured using an Illumina microarray. Arterial stiffness was measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid distensibility. A subsample (n=121) of women had repeat vascular measures after a mean±SD follow-up of 4.3±1.4 years. Associations of arterial phenotypes with gene expression levels were examined for 52 genes identified from previous association studies. The gene transcript most closely associated with pulse wave velocity in cross-sectional analysis was ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (P=0.012). Pleiotropic genetic effects accounted for 14% of the phenotypic correlation between ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase expression and pulse wave velocity. Progression of pulse wave velocity during the follow-up period best related to expression of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (β=0.19, P=0.008) and collagen type IV α 1 (β=0.32, P<0.0001). Gene transcripts most closely related to change in carotid distensibility during the follow-up period were endothelial nitric oxide synthase (β=-0.20, P=0.005), angiotensin-converting enzyme (β=-0.15, P=0.035), and B-cell CLL/lymphoma11B (β=0.18, P=0.010). Expression levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme also related to progression in carotid diameter (β=0.21, P=0.012). Expression levels of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase, involved in arterial calcification, and collagen type IV α 1, involved in collagen formation, correlate with aortic stiffening. These genes may be functional mediators of arterial stiffening.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Parathyroid Hormone Levels Do Not Predict Changes in Carotid Arterial Stiffness

Objective— To evaluate the impact of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness. Approach and Results— Distensibility coefficient and Young’s elastic modulus of the right common carotid artery were evaluated at baseline and after a mean (SD) of 9.4 (0.5) years in 2580 Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations were evaluated using multivariable linear regression and analysis of covariance. At baseline, participants were 60.1 (9.4) years old (54% female; 26% black, 20% Hispanic, 14% Chinese). Mean annualized 25(OH)D was &lt;20 ng/dL in 816 participants, and PTH was &gt;65 pg/dL in 285 participants. In cross-sectional analyses, low 25(OH)D (&lt;20 ng/mL) was not associated with stiffer arteries after adjustment for cardiovascular disease risk factors ( P &gt;0.4). PTH &gt;65 pg/mL was associated with stiffer arteries after adjustment for cardiovascular disease risk factors, other than systolic blood pressure (distensibility coefficient: β=−2.4×10 −4 mm Hg −1 , P =0.003; Young’s elastic modulus: β=166 mm Hg, P =0.01); however, after adjustment for systolic blood pressure, these associations no longer were statistically significant. Longitudinal arterial stiffening was associated with older age ( P &lt;0.0001), higher systolic blood pressure ( P &lt;0.008), and use of antihypertensive medications ( P &lt;0.006), but not with 25(OH)D or PTH (both P &gt;0.1). Conclusions— Carotid arterial stiffness is not associated with low 25(OH)D concentrations. Cross-sectional associations between arterial stiffness and high PTH were attenuated by systolic blood pressure. After nearly a decade of follow-up, neither baseline PTH nor 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with progression of carotid arterial stiffness.

SERUM 25-HYDROXYVITAMIN D AND PARATHYROID HORMONE LEVELS DO NOT PREDICT CHANGES IN CAROTID ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AFTER 10 YEARS: THE MULTI-ETHNIC STUDY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS

To evaluate the impacts of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness. Distensibility coefficient (DC) and Young's elastic modulus (YEM) of the right common carotid artery were evaluated at baseline and after a mean (standard deviation) of 9.4 (0.5) years
