Diet, Physical Activity and Adiposity as Determinants of Circulating Amino Acid Levels in a Multiethnic Asian Population.

ABSTRACT: 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
