We read with interest the study by Naveed and colleagues (1) that demonstrated an independent association between abnormal triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and greater susceptibility to lung function impairment after September 11, 2001 in Fire Department of New York personnel with normal FEV1. The authors concluded that metabolic biomarkers may be useful for the assessment of risk of lung function impairment related to particulate matter inhalation (1). Previously, components of metabolic syndrome including lipids were linked to lung function impairment in a large cross-sectional population-based study (2). In contrast, among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the all-cause mortality risk was reduced in overweight patients with severely impaired pulmonary function—a phenomenon known as the “obesity paradox”(3). Also, improvements in lung function following lung volume reduction surgery in COPD patients with severe emphysema were associated not only with weight gain but also with increases in total and highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides (4). These data coupled with current findings (1) prompted us to test the hypothesis that higher triglyceride and cholesterol levels might relate to attenuated reductions in FEV1 in patients with COPD, in contrast to healthy persons (1). We analyzed the data retrieved as a part of an ongoing study on the metabolic consequences of COPD (5) in which we performed repeated evaluation of pulmonary function tests, body composition, and serum lipids within 12–18 (12.2 6 3.9)(mean 6 SD) months after baseline measurements. Twenty-nine of 39 recruited patients completed the follow-up assessment (24 men; age 63.3 6 7.5 yr; FEV1 52.9 6 24.5%; body mass index [BMI] 25.4 6 5.5 kg $ m 22 [14 had BMI. 25 kg $ m 22], 7 with dyslipidemia [1]). Baseline triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were inversely related to the FEV1 decline (R= 20.429, P= 0.023; R= 20.440, P= 0.019; respectively); that is, patients with higher triglyceride and total cholesterol levels at baseline had lower FEV1 decline during the follow-up. In multivariate analyses, baseline triglycerides and total cholesterol remained predictors of FEV1 decline independently of age, gender, baseline FEV1, and BMI (R2= 0.238, P= 0.046; R2= 0.253, P= 0.035, respectively).Our data complement studies related to “obesity paradox” in COPD and demonstrate that increased triglycerides and cholesterol may relate to reduced deterioration of lung function in such patients, in contrast to healthy individuals (1). Nevertheless, due to small sample size we consider the present results as very preliminary and hypothesis-generating. Further studies are needed to shed more light on the mechanisms related to the effects of metabolic syndrome and its components on lung function in COPD.
