Relationship Between Metabolic Syndrome and Beta-Cell Function in Nondiabetic Korean Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

초록

Background: This study was conducted to assess the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and beta-cell function in nondiabetic Korean women. Methods: This study included 2,507 women (premenopausal women, 1,359; postmenopausal women, 1,148) who were aged >= 20 and used 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Results: Key study results were as follows: first, in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, after adjusting for related variables [except body mass index (BMI)], MetS (P < 0.001) and metabolic syndrome score (MSS; P < 0.001) were positively associated with the homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-B) levels. Second, in premenopausal women, when further adjusted for BMI, MetS (P = 0.002) and MSS (P < 0.001) were also positively associated with HOMA-B levels. However, in postmenopausal women, when further adjusting for BMI, the associations of MetS (P = 0.322) or MSS (P = 0.855) and HOMA-B levels were no longer significant. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome was positively associated with beta-cell function in nondiabetic Korean premenopausal women, but not in Korean postmenopausal women.
