Metabolic Syndrome Components

Background. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) components in an urban Mexican sample.Methods. A total of 854 subjects were included. Anthropometric, blood pressure measurements, clinical data, and overnight fasting blood samples were obtained from all subjects.Results. In accordance with definitions by the American Heart Association/ National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of MS among participants was 59.7 and 68.7%, respectively. The prevalence of MS was higher in women and in individuals older than 45 years of age. More than 40% of the subjects fulfilled four criterions of MS according to both definitions.Conclusions. There was a high prevalence of MS components in an urban Mexican sample. Therefore, strong strategies had to be developed for early detection of MS and its components to prevent DMT2 and atherothrombotic complications in these patients.

Predictive Effect

Abstract Background To evaluate the possible predictive effect of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a longitudinal analysis according to different criteria of MetS among rural Chinese elderly. Method A population-based sample of 2486 rural elderly Chinese residents aged ≥ 60 years at baseline were followed up from 2012–2013 to 2015–2017. CVD included stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD) diagnosed by clinicians were self-reported and were confirmed by medical records. MetS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III), the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) and the international Diabetes Federation (IDF) criterion respectively. Result Hazard ratio adjusting for CHD, Stroke and CVD in those with MetS using NCEP ATP III criteria in female were 1.27 (95%CI 0.73, 2.21), 1.54 (95%CI 0.99, 2.40) and 1.45 (95%CI 1.00, 2.10); 1.33 (95%CI 0.77, 2.32), 1.44 (95%CI 0.92, 2.25) and 1.36 (95%CI 0.94, 1.97) with the AHA/NHLBI criteria; and 1.10 (95%CI 0.89,1.36), 1.62 (95%CI 1.03, 2.55) and 1.36 (95%CI 0.93, 1.97) with IDF criteria. Besides, abdominal obesity using the AHA/NHLBI criteria was significantly associated with the incidence of stroke (HR: 1.60; 95%CI 1.01, 2.52). However, among rural male elderly, neither MetS nor its components were capable of predicting newly onset CVD. Conclusion MetS is significantly associated with high incidence of CVD among rural female elderly only, and the incidence of CVD was evident only when MetS was defined using NCEP ATP III criterion. In order to reduce CVD among elderly in rural China, effective strategies to prevent, diagnose, and treating MetS should be made in time, especially among female.

Definition Of

The term metabolic syndrome (MetS) defines the cooccurrence of the related risk factors of metabolic origin that promote the development of cardiovascular diseases with atherosclerotic background and type 2 diabetes. The diagnostic criteria of MetS have undergone modifications for years. Until now no clear definition of MetS has been established. The latest diagnostic criteria of MetS published in 2009 by a group of IDF (International Diabetes Federation) and AHA/NHLBI (American Heart Association/ National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) experts discern three out of five risk factors: abdominal obesity (taking into consideration population differences), elevated level of triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension and fasting hyperglycemia. Genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as lack of physical activity and improper diet are considered to be responsible for MetS development. Therefore, prevention and treatment of MetS should be based first of all on a change in modifiable lifestyle factors, among which proper diet is of essential importance.

Abstract Background This study aimed to estimate whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components could be used to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a longitudinal analysis in a rural elderly Chinese population. Method At baseline during 2012–2013, a total of 2486 elderly from rural Chinese were enrolled and were followed up during 2015–2017. Stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) were included in CVD and were diagnosed by clinicians. The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III), the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria were used to define MetS separately. Result Hazard ratios adjusting for CHD, stroke and CVD in those with MetS using the NCEP ATP III criteria in females were 1.27 (95 % CI 0.73, 2.21), 1.54 (95 % CI 0.99, 2.40) and 1.45 (95 % CI 1.00, 2.10), respectively; 1.33 (95 % CI 0.77, 2.32), 1.44 (95 % CI 0.92, 2.25) and 1.36 (95 % CI 0.94, 1.97), respectively, with the AHA/NHLBI criteria; and 1.10 (95 % CI 0.89,1.36), 1.62 (95 % CI 1.03, 2.55) and 1.36 (95 % CI 0.93, 1.97), respectively, with the IDF criteria. Additionally, abdominal obesity using the AHA/NHLBI criteria was significantly associated with the incidence of stroke (HR: 1.60; 95 % CI 1.01, 2.52). However, among rural elderly males, neither MetS nor its components predicted new-onset CVD. Conclusions MetS is correlated with high incidence of CVD among rural elderly female, and only using the NCEP ATP III criteria to define MetS could make the incidence of CVD obvious difference. In order to reduce rural elderly CVD, effective measures to prevent, diagnose, and treat MetS should be enacted in a timely manner, especially among females.

Transversal Study

Purpose This paper aims to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the basis of three criteria. The diagnostic criteria adopted were those of the International Diabetes Federation, the National Cholesterol Education Program – Adult Treatment Panel III and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.. Design/methodology/approach A transversal study was undertaken with 691 university students in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 2011-2013. Findings The prevalence of MetS varied considerably according to the criteria used, it being 4.1 per cent for the IDF, 0.7 per cent for the NCEP ATPIII and 1.7 per cent for the revised NCEP ATPIII. The criteria of the IDF presented reasonable agreement in relation to the NCEP ATP III (0.294) and revised NCEP ATP III (0.334). Moderate agreement was found between the NCEP ATPIII/revised NCEP ATPIII. Originality/value There is a need for a universal diagnostic criterion for MetS to obtain uniform and more reliable data for the elaboration of public health policies.

Aims:The metabolic syndrome MS (visceral obesity, dyslipidaemia, hyperglycaemia, and hypertension), has become one of the major public-health challenges worldwide. Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to suffer from MS that the general population. We have analyzed the prevalence of MS in Spanish patients with schizophrenia and overweight.Methods:The CRESSOB study is a 12-month, prospective, naturalistic study including 110 community mental health clinics selected at random. Each site enrolled four consecutive patients with diagnosis of schizophrenia, according to DSM-IV TR criteria, and overweight (BMI > 25 Kg/m2). to assess the prevalence of MS we have analyzed the baseline results of the CRESSOB study. the National Cholesterol Educational Program (NCEP-ATPIII), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) definitions were used to established the presence of MS.Results:A total of 391 patients were enrolled on the study (mean age 40.5 years, 63.8% men). 75.9% of the patients did not meet criteria for remission, using the selected PANSS items. Mean GAF score was 52.7 (SD 15.4). Using the different criteria, 59.0% of males and 58.3% of females fulfilled the NCEP-ATPIII criteria, 71.1% of males and 65.8% of females fulfilled the IDF criteria and 70.1% of males and 65.1% of females fulfilled the AHA/NHLBI criteria.Conclusions:The MS is highly prevalent in Spanish patients with schizophrenia and overweight. Given the metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, these patients should receive appropriate clinical monitoring for this syndrome.
