Abstract

Objective

To investigate the relationship of adipokines and abdominal fat distribution with aging in men.

Methods

In a cross-sectional study, a total of 218 participants aged 40–79 years were recruited as a subset of the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) China Action on Spine and Hip status (CASH) study population. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariable regression were used to estimate the associations of interest.

Results

With the increasing of age, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, total adipose tissue (TAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), VAT/subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), leptin, adiponectin-to-leptin ratio, and human monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1) increased significantly (p < 0.05), while adiponectin decreased significantly (p < 0.05). Adiponectin, adiponectin/leptin, and adiponectin/resistin varied inversely with the VAT quartiles (p < 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation among adiponectin, adiponectin-to-leptin ratio, adiponectin-to-resistin ratio, and all the body fat distribution parameters. VAT was inversely and significantly associated with adiponectin, adiponectin-to-leptin ratio, and adiponectin-to-resistin ratio (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

It showed that aging, abdominal fat distribution, and adipokines were related with each other, which support the hypothesis that regulation of VAT and adipokines is closely linked to aging.
