Abstract
Background: Hypoadiponectinemia has been associated with various cardiometabolic disease states. Previous studies in adults have shown that adiponectin levels were regulated by specific genetic and behavioral or lifestyle factors. However, little is known about the influence of these factors on adiponectin levels in children, particularly as mitigated by pubertal development.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from 3,402 children aged 6-18 years from the Beijing Child and Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome (BCAMS) study. Pubertal progress was classified as prepubertal, midpuberty, and postpuberty. Six relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected from previous genome-wide association studies of adiponectin in East Asians. Individual SNPs and two weighted genetic predisposition scores, as well as their interactions with 14 lifestyle factors, were analyzed to investigate their influence on adiponectin levels across puberty. The effect of these factors on adiponectin was analyzed using general linear models adjusted for age, sex, and BMI.
Results: After adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, the associations between adiponectin levels and diet items, and diet score were significant at prepuberty or postpuberty, while the effect of exercise on adiponectin levels was more prominent at mid- and postpuberty. Walking to school was found to be associated with increased adiponectin levels throughout puberty. Meanwhile, the effect of WDR11-FGFR2-rs3943077 was stronger at midpuberty (P = 0.002), and ADIPOQ-rs6773957 was more effective at postpuberty (P = 0.005), while CDH13-rs4783244 showed the strongest association with adiponectin levels at all pubertal stages (all P < 3.24 × 10-15). We further found that effects of diet score (Pinteraction = 0.022) and exercise (Pinteraction = 0.049) were stronger in children with higher genetic risk of hypoadiponectinemia, while higher diet score and exercise frequency attenuated the differences in adiponectin levels among children with different genetic risks.
Conclusions: Our study confirmed puberty modulates the associations between adiponectin, and genetic variants, lifestyle factors, and gene-by-lifestyle interactions. These findings provide new insight into puberty-specific lifestyle suggestions, especially in genetically susceptible individuals.
