摘要：Profiles of circulating amino acids have been associated with cardiometabolic diseases. We investigated the associations between dietary protein intake, physical activity and adiposity and serum amino acid profiles in an Asian population. We used data from 3009 male and female participants from the Singapore Prospective Study Program cohort. Dietary and physical activity data were obtained from validated questionnaires; anthropometric measurements were collected during a health examination; and fasting concentrations of 16 amino acids were measured using targeted LC-MS. The association between lifestyle factors and amino acid levels was modeled using multiple linear regression with adjustment for other sociodemographic and lifestyle factors and correction for multiple testing. We observed significant associations between seafood intake (β-coefficient 0.132, 95% CI 0.006, 0.257 for a 100% increment), physical activity (β-coefficient −0.096, 95% CI −0.183, −0.008 in the highest versus lowest quartile) and adiposity (BMI β-coefficient 0.062, 95% CI 0.054, 0.070 per kg/m2; waist circumference β-coefficient 0.034, 95% CI 0.031, 0.037 per cm) and branched-chain amino acid levels (expressed per-SD). We also observed significant interactions with sex for the association between meat and seafood and total intakes and BCAA levels (P for interaction 0.007), which were stronger in females than in males. Our findings suggest novel associations between modifiable lifestyle factors and amino acid levels in Asian populations.
