Longitudinal Examination of Links Between Risk Factors for the Metabolic Syndrome and Both Age and Fasting Glucose Levels in Nondiabetic Subjects

Stroke is one of non-communicable diseases and affected by many risk factors. Some stroke risk factors have in common with the metabolic syndrome criteria, such as abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance, decreased HDL cholesterol, elevated triglyceride levels, and insulin resistance. The goals to analyze the relationship between the metabolic syndrome with the incidence of stroke. This research is analytic by using case-control design. The case groups were hospitalized patients of stroke and undergoing inpatient in dr. M. Soewandhie Surabaya. The case groups were 32 peoples and control group 32 peoples were selected at random. The variables studied were age, sex, metabolic syndrome, the first criteria, the second criteria of metabolic syndrome, and the third criteria of metabolic syndrome. The results showed that the majority of stroke patients in the age range 51-75 years (78%). Results of Chi-Square test indicates a significant relationship between the metabolic syndrome criteria first (abdominal obesity, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol levels) p = 0,01 OR = 6,82 (95% CI = 1,23 to 68,17 ) and the second criteria of metabolic syndrome (HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose levels) p= 0,007 OR = 5,80 (95% CI = 1,30 to 35,15) with the incidence of stroke. While for the third criteria of metabolic syndrome (fasting glucose levels, abdominal obesity, triglyceride levels) there was no significant relationship to the incidence of stroke.

Living With Hiv

Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn) is a strong predictor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent data show that people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are at a greater risk of CVD, which could possibly be explained by an increased prevalence of MetSyn as a result of the metabolic disturbances known to be associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among physical activity (PA) and risk factors for MetSyn in a sample of HIV+ adults currently taking ART. Methods: A total of 32 males and 38 females living with HIV and currently taking ART were enrolled in an ongoing PA intervention aimed to reduce risk factors for CVD. Clinical assessments included measures of resting blood pressure (BP), waist circumference, height, weight, PA levels via accelerometer, and a fasted blood draw. Inactivity was defined as measured activity < 3 metabolic equivalents (METS) or if the person was sedentary, whereas moderate to vigorous PA was defined as any activity ≥ 3 METS. Accelerometer data was considered valid if the participant had a total on-body time of at least 10 hours a day for 4 days. Levels of PA were divided into 4 quartiles (Q1=0-40 mins of PA; Q2=40-80 mins; Q3=80-160 mins; Q4≥160mins). A one-way ANOVA was used to determine differences between quartiles. Results: Waist circumference was significantly lower across PA quartiles (p < 0.001). A similar pattern was observed in fasting glucose levels; however the results were not significant. Pearson correlation showed a significant association between PA and waist circumference (r = - 0.526; p < 0.001), but not BP or fasting glucose. Although fasting glucose was not significantly associated with PA, the Pearson correlation did show a significant association between inactivity and fasting glucose (r = 0.433; p = 0.019). Conclusions: These data show that greater amounts of PA are significantly associated with a smaller waist circumference for PLWHA who currently took ART. A significant relationship was also observed among inactivity and fasting glucose. In conclusion, routine PA can be beneficial in helping PLWHA reduce waist circumference and decrease sedentary time ultimately leading to a reduction in fasted glucose levels. This in turn would help PLWHA self-manage known risk factors for MetSyn, thus reducing their risk of CVD.

The Metabolic Syndrome

Modification of lifestyle, including healthy nutrition, is the primary approach for metabolic syndrome (MetS) therapy. The aim of this study was to estimate how individual nutrition intervention affects the reduction of MetS components. Subjects diagnosed with MetS were recruited in the Lomza Medical Centre. The study group consisted of 90 participants and was divided into one intervention group (individual nutrition education group (INEG)) and one control group (CG). The research was conducted over 3 months. The following measurements were obtained during the first visit and after completion of the 3 months intervention: body mass, waist circumference, body composition, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and blood lipids. Dietary assessments were performed before and post-intervention using 3-day 24-h dietary recalls. Dietary knowledge was evaluated with the KomPAN questionnaire. The total polyphenol content of the diet was calculated. Sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics were collected from a self-reported questionnaire. The physical activity was assessed by the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). It was found that the individual nutrition education was an effective method to improve the knowledge, dietary habits, and physical activity of the study participants. The modification of the diet in terms of higher intake of polyphenols (flavonoids and anthocyanins), fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), PUFA n-3, and lower intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) had a significant impact on the improvement of some MetS risk factors (waist circumference, fasting glucose, and HDL-cholesterol).
