Associations of three thermogenic adipokines with metabolic syndrome in obese and non-obese populations from the China plateau: the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort

ObjectivesHigh altitude exposure decreases the incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, but increases the expression of the thermogenic adipokines (leptin, fat cell fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) and visfatin). This study investigated the correlation of these adipokines with obesity and met...

Zusammenfassung:ObjectivesHigh altitude exposure decreases the incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, but increases the expression of the thermogenic adipokines (leptin, fat cell fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) and visfatin). This study investigated the correlation of these adipokines with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in populations residing in a plateau-specific environment.DesignCase–control study.SettingWe cross-sectionally analysed data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort.ParticipantsA total of 475 obese (OB, body mass index (BMI)≥28.0 kg/m2) plateau Han people and 475 age, sex and region-matched non-obese (NO, 18.5≤BMI
