Temporal sequence of blood lipids and insulin resistance in perimenopausal women: the study of women’s health across the nation

Open access

Abstract

Introduction: To explore the temporal relationship between blood lipids and insulin resistance in perimenopausal women. Research design and methods: The longitudinal cohort consisted of 1386 women (mean age 46.4 years at baseline) in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify appropriate latent factors of lipids (total cholesterol (TC); triglyceride (TG); high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); lipoprotein A-I (LpA-I); apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I); apolipoprotein B (ApoB)). Cross-lagged path analysis was used to explore the temporal sequence of blood lipids and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results: Three latent lipid factors were defined as: the TG factor, the cholesterol transport factor (CT), including TC, LDL-C, and ApoB; the reverse cholesterol transport factor (RCT), including HDL-C, LpA-I, and ApoA-I. The cumulative variance contribution rate of the three factors was 86.3%. The synchronous correlations between baseline TG, RCT, CT, and baseline HOMA-IR were 0.284, −0.174, and 0.112 (p<0.05 for all). After adjusting for age, race, smoking, drinking, body mass index, and follow-up years, the path coefficients of TG→HOMA-IR (0.073, p=0.004), and HOMA-IR→TG (0.057, p=0.006) suggested a bidirectional relationship between TG and HOMA-IR. The path coefficients of RCT→HOMA-IR (−0.091, P < 0.001) and HOMA-IR→RCT (−0.058, p=0.002) were also significant, but the path coefficients of CT→HOMA-IR (0.031, p=0.206) and HOMA-IR→CT (−0.028, p=0.113) were not. The sensitivity analyses showed consistent results. Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that TG and the reverse cholesterol transport-related lipids are related with insulin resistance bidirectionally, while there is no temporal relationship between the cholesterol transport factor and insulin resistance.

  • Post-exercise supplementation with 1.2 g/kg CHO, 0.1 g/kg protein, and 0.02 g/kg fat following four training sessions across a week during the follicular phase improves time to exhaustion during endurance cycling at 75% of VO2peak.

    “post-exercise supplementation (1.2 g·kg−1 of CHO, 0.1 g·kg−1 of protein, and 0.02 g·kg−1 of fat), following four training sessions across a week during the follicular phase, improved time to exhaustion during endurance cycling at 75% of VO2peak. [218].”

    From International society of sports nutrition position stand: nutritional concerns of the female athlete (2023) · cites this paper as [218]

    The Results section reports associations between blood lipids and insulin resistance in perimenopausal women, not an exercise-supplementation trial. Searches for the stated supplement doses and for cycling time to exhaustion at 75% of VO2peak found no passage addressing the claim; the retrieved Methods passage mentions physical activity only as an adjustment variable.

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.
