The association between chronic stress and body fat distribution considering the mediating role of lifestyle factors within an EPIC-Potsdam substudy
No full textHintergrund: Anhaltender Stress ist mit einer Reihe weltweit verbreiteter chronischer Erkrankungen assoziiert, wobei insbesondere die Körperfettverteilung als mögliche Verbindung diskutiert wird. Auf welche Art verschiedene Marker von Stress und Körperfett zusammenhängen und welche Rolle der Lebensstil dabei spielt, ist bisher noch nicht vollkommen geklärt.
Methoden: Im Rahmen einer Querschnittsuntersuchung wurden an 816 Probanden der EPIC-Potsdam-Studie (51–82 Jahre alt) umfangreiche Messungen der Körperfettverteilung mittels Magnetresonanztomographie (viszerales und Gesamtkörperfett), des Lebensstils (Energieaufnahme, objektive körperliche Aktivität, Alkohol- und Tabakkonsum) sowie soziodemographischer und gesundheitsbezogener Parameter durchgeführt. Die Schätzung der Stressexposition erfolgte sowohl subjektiv anhand der Selbsteinschätzung der mentalen und körperlichen Gesundheit (SF-12) sowie des chronischen Stresses (TICS-SSCS) - als auch physiologisch anhand von Cortisol in den Haaren und im Speichel bzw. Alpha-Amylase im Speichel. Zusammenhänge zwischen Stress, Lebensstil und Körperfettverteilung wurden mittels geschlechtsstratifizierter partieller Korrelations-, multipler linearer Regressions-, Mediator- und Strukturgleichungsmodellanalysen geprüft.
Ergebnisse: Stressparameter basierend auf subjektiven Einschätzungen bzw. unterschiedlichen physiologischen Stressmarkern korrelierten kaum miteinander. Ein erhöhter Körperfettanteil bei Männern war mit geringeren Amylase-Werten im Speichel und bei beiden Geschlechtern mit einer schlechteren subjektiven Beurteilung der körperlichen Gesundheit verbunden. In der gemeinsamen Betrachtung von Männern und Frauen, stieg die Menge an Gesamtkörperfett mit höheren Konzentrationen an Haarcortisol. Die Menge an viszeralem Fett war bei Frauen mit subjektivem Stress und bei beiden Geschlechtern gemeinsam mit einer flacheren Cortisolkurve im Speichel assoziiert. Diese Beziehungen zum Körperfett beruhten nur zu einem geringen Teil auf dem Lebensstil.
Schlussfolgerung: Subjektive sowie physiologische Parameter zur Beurteilung der Stressbelastung hingen unabhängig vom Alter, Lebensstil und gesundheitsbezogenen Faktoren mit der Menge an viszeralem und gesamtem Körperfett zusammen. Diese jeweiligen Assoziationen waren nicht nur geschlechts- und fettgewebsspezifisch, sondern variierten auch zwischen den verschiedenen Stressparametern, womit eine generalisierbare Aussage über die Beziehung zwischen Stress und Körperfettverteilung schwer möglich ist. In der Gesamtbetrachtung der Ergebnisse, scheint vermehrter Stress jedoch tendenziell mit einer Erhöhung des Körperfettanteils assoziiert zu sein, wobei der Lebensstil eine eher kleine Rolle spielt.Background: Long-term stress exposure is related to a number of common chronic diseases, in which body fat distribution is discussed as potential link. However, the association between different markers of stress and body fat distribution is inconsistent and the mediating role of lifestyle still unclear.
Methods: Within a cross-sectional examination in 816 participants of the EPIC-Potsdam study (aged between 51 and 82), detailed information on body fat distribution obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (visceral and total fat mass), lifestyle (energy intake, objectively measured physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking) as well as socio-demographic and health-related parameters were collected. Stress exposure was measured subjectively by physical and mental health (SF-12) and perceived chronic stress (TICS-SSCS) as well as physiologically by hair cortisol, salivary cortisol and salivary alpha amylase concentrations. Associations of the different stress parameters with lifestyle and body fat distribution were investigated using partial correlations, multiple linear regressions, mediator analysis and structural equation modeling.
Results: The correlations between subjectively measured stress and stress parameters based on the various physiologic markers were very low. Elevated fat mass was related to lower concentrations of salivary amylase in men and poorer reported physical health in men and women. Within the combined analysis of men and women, total fat increased with hair cortisol concentrations. Visceral fat was positively associated with perceived chronic stress in women and a flatter curve of salivary cortisol in both sexes combined. Overall, the mediating role of lifestyle was quite low.
Conclusion: Subjectively as well as physiologically measured stress was related to visceral and total fat mass—independent of age, lifestyle and health-related factors. The respective associations were found to differ between sexes as well as across different fat tissues and varied across stress measures which complicates a generalized statement on the association of stress with body fat distribution. However, in the overall view of the results, stress tends to be linked to increased body fat in which the mediation by lifestyle plays a minor role

No full textRediscovering a Lost Alchemical Text: The Risālat Mītāwus al-‘uẓmā
No full textIn 1971 and 1972, Fuat Sezgin and Manfred Ullmann drew attention to a peculiar alchemist mentioned in various texts, a certain Mītāwus, but whose works had not been preserved. Sezgin saw in the name of this character a corruption of the name of the alchemist Petasios, and Ullmann, more likely, a transcription of the name Matthaeus. In this paper, the author will present a text by this author that he found in an Iranian manuscript, and discuss its content and its attribution
Life satisfaction and risk of chronic diseases in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC)-Germany study.
No full textOBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to examine the prospective association between life satisfaction and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cancer. Previous studies suggested that psychosocial factors may affect the development of chronic diseases but the impact of positive attitudes, in particular life satisfaction, is yet to be determined. METHODS: The analysis included 50,358 participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Germany study in Potsdam and Heidelberg. Life satisfaction was assessed in a baseline interview and incident cases of chronic diseases were identified and verified during follow-up. Hazard ratios were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models that were systematically multivariable-adjusted for established risk factors and prevalent diseases. RESULTS: During an average of 8 years of follow-up 2,293 cases of cancer, 1,840 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus, 440 cases of stroke, and 562 cases of myocardial infarction were observed. Women who were unsatisfied with life at baseline showed in all models a significantly increased risk of cancer (HR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.18-1.78) and stroke (HR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.05-2.73) as well as an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus by trend across categories (p-trend=0.04) compared to women very satisfied with life. In men, a relationship between life satisfaction and stroke was found but did not persist after consideration of lifestyle factors and prevalent diseases. No significant association was observed between life satisfaction and risk of myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that reduced life satisfaction is related to the development of chronic diseases--particularly in women and partly mediated by established risk factors
