Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship between ALDH2 rs671 gene polymorphism and body fat content in Chinese Han population.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 3 943 Chinese Han people were selected for physical examination in the Department of Health Medicine in the Second Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020, including 2 749 males and 1 194 females; the average age was (48.12±7.98) years. The research subjects were divided into obesity group and non-obesity group according to their body fat rate. The basic information including age, gender, disease history, height, weight, body fat content and blood samples were collected; the ALDH2 rs671 gene polymorphism was detected. Genotype and allele frequencies were compared between groups by using χ2 test. The comparison of clinical data between different genotypes was conducted by using one-way analysis of variance. The correlation between various indicators, lifestyle and genotype was analyzed by using a logistic regression model. Results:The distribution of ALDH2 rs671 genotype was wild genotype GG (68.6%), heterozygous mutant genotype GL (28.7%) and homozygous mutant genotype LL (2.7%). In terms of baseline characteristics, there were significant differences in male (67.5% vs 71.3%), body mass index (BMI, (23.12±2.64) kg/m 2 vs (27.10±2.75) kg/m 2), genotype distribution (GG 65.6% vs 70.6%), drinking history (64.4% vs 68.8%), history of hypertension (18.7% vs 36.9%), coronary heart disease (3.7% vs 5.6%) and diabetes (9.7% vs 15.0%) between the obesity and non-obesity group (all P<0.05). Multifactor logistic regression showed that ALDH2-GG genotype ( OR=1.386, 95% CI: 1.078-1.782), age ( OR=1.051, 95% CI: 1.035-1.068), and BMI ( OR=2.182, 95% CI: 2.043-2.331) were risk factors for obesity differentiated by body fat percentage, and male ( OR=0.175, 95% CI: 0.123-0.250) was protective factor (all, P<0.05). Conclusion:ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism is related to body fat content. The risk of excessive body fat content in individuals with GG genotype is significantly increased.
