PURPOSE: To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and the plasma level of a lipid peroxidation biomarker in a large sample of elderly healthy Asian population. This cross-sectional study included 1150 community-dwelling Japanese aged 70 years or older in 2002.METHODS: We measured the lipid peroxidation biomarker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) using the ELISA method. We also measured the weight and height and calculated the BMI as weight (kg)/height (in),.RESULTS: After adjustment for potential confounders, the mean +/- SE plasma 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) level was significantly higher in subjects with higher BMI: 21.1 +/- 0.8 pg/ml in those with BMI of 30.0 or more; 20.5 +/- 0.3 pg/ml in those with BMI between 25.0 and 29.9; 20.0 +/- 0.2 pg/ml in those with BMI between 18.5 and 24.9; and 19.0 +/- 0.7 pg/ml in those with BMI of less than 18.5 (p for trend = 0.011).CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that in the healthy Asian population, there was a modest but significant relationship between BMI and the plasma lipid peroxidation level.
