Abstract

Aims Circulating lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), associated with both infection and inflammation, may arise from the gastrointestinal tract microbiota, and the levels may be affected by daily nutrition. We investigated whether nutrient intake affects the association of serum LPS activity with prevalent obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), diabetes, and coronary heart disease (CHD) and with the risk of incident CHD events.Methods The nutrition cohort (n = 2,452, mean age ± SD, 52.2 ± 10.1 years) of the FINRISK 1997 Study was followed up for 10 years. Information on macronutrient intake at baseline was collected from 24-h dietary recall. Serum endotoxin activities were determined by the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay.Results LPS activity was associated directly with the total energy intake and indirectly with carbohydrate intake in lean, healthy subjects. High LPS was significantly associated with prevalent obesity, MetS, diabetes, and CHD events, independently of established risk factors, CRP, and total energy or nutrient intake. The ORs (95 % CI) were 1.49 (1.21-1.85, p < 0.001, Q2-4 vs. Q1) for obesity, 2.56 (1.97-3.32, p < 0.001, Q2-4 vs. Q1) for MetS, 1.94 (1.06-3.52, p = 0.031, Q2-4 vs. Q1) for CHD, and 1.01 (1.00-1.01, p = 0.032, LPS unit) for diabetes. In the follow-up, high LPS was significantly associated with the risk of CHD events with a hazard ratio of 1.88 (1.13-3.12, p = 0.013, Q2-4 vs. Q1). This association was independent of baseline established risk factors, diet, obesity, MetS, and diabetes.Conclusion A high serum LPS activity is strongly associated with cardiometabolic disorders, which supports the role of bacterial infections and immune response in their etiology.

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.
