Dependence of Seasonal Dynamics in Healthy People's Circulating Lipids and Carbohydrates on Regional Climate: Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the seasonal dynamics of lipid profile, glucose, and insulin in healthy subjects from 29 studies conducted in 23 regions, located in different climate zones ranging from subarctic to tropical. Our meta-analysis showed that people have higher the level of TC (total cholesterol), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), FBG (fasting blood glucose) in winter than in summer regardless of gender. Regional climate had a significant impact on the seasonal dynamics of lipid profile and glucose. TC, HDL, FBG seasonal fluctuations were more prominent in a climate that had a marked increase in average monthly atmospheric pressure in winter compared with summer as opposed to a climate where atmospheric pressure did not vary significantly in winter and summer. In a cli
