Abstract

Adiponectin plays an important role in the development of various lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, leading to the development of heart and vascular diseases. However, the determinants that affect circulating adiponectin levels, including lifestyle factors, have still not been thoroughly investigated, in a general male population in particular. A total of 109 healthy Japanese male subjects (mean age, 55 +/- 14 years) with constant lifestyles were enrolled. All were on no medication. Fasting serum adiponectin levels were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Each subject's lifestyle was assessed by the self-administered Breslow Questionnaire (a well-established method to estimate various lifestyles) with minor modifications. Partial correlation analysis for serum adiponectin levels, after controlling age and all lifestyle factors, revealed a significant and independent negative correlation between serum adiponectin levels and body mass index (BMI) (r = -0.222, P = 0.025), and a significant and independent positive correlation between serum adiponectin levels and sleep duration (r = 0.252, P = 0.011). No significant correlations were observed between adiponectin and other lifestyle factors. These data suggest that increased BMI and shorter sleep duration may be significant independent risks for low serum adiponectin levels in healthy males. Therefore, these factors may be intervention targets to modulate adiponectin to its proper levels for the prevention of cardiovascular disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
