Metabolic syndrome criteria and severity and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emissions in an adult population

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a growing risk factor of some non-communicable diseases. Increase of greenhouse gas emissions affects the planet. AIMS: To assess the association between MetS severity and amount of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emitted in an adult population. DESIGN: Cross-...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a growing risk factor of some non-communicable diseases. Increase of greenhouse gas emissions affects the planet. AIMS: To assess the association between MetS severity and amount of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emitted in an adult population. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study (n = 6646; 55-76-year-old-men; 60-75-year-old-women with MetS). METHODS: Dietary habits were assessed using a pre-validated semi quantitative 143-item food frequency questionnaire. The amount of CO(2) emitted due to the production of food consumed by person and day was calculated using a European database, and the severity of the MetS was calculated with the MetS Severity Score. RESULTS: Higher glycaemia levels were found in people with higher CO(2) emissions. The risk of having high severe MetS was related to high CO(2) emissions. CONCLUSIONS: Low CO(2) emissions diet would help to reduce MetS severity. Advantages for both health and the environment were found following a more sustainable diet.
