Arterial hypertension in the metabolic syndrome in the elderly contributes to the formation of cognitive disorders and anxiety-depressive disorders. It is shown that the severity of these deviations of the psychological continuum significantly decreases after 1 year, under the influence of an antihypertensive fixed combination of amlodipine, mesinopril and rosuvastatin in the chronotherapy mode (evening reception), than in the traditional application (morning reception in the equivalent dosage of 5/10/10 mg per day in both cases. The dynamics of cognitive impairment in chronotherapeutical approach in patients 6074 flights from arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome is characterized by a significant increase in the average score on a scale MMSE, f source 17.8 0.3 to 23.5 0.4 points (р 0.001), against 16.9 0.3 to 20.4 0.4 points (р 0.001) in the morning taking the drug. Situational anxiety decreased from 40.8 2.2 to 30.6 1.8 points (р 0.05) and from 40.0 2.5 to 32.1 2.0 points (р 0.05), personal anxiety from 48.8 2.0 to 25.4 1.9 (р 0.001) and from 44.9 1.9 to 30.7 1.7 (р 0.01) points in the evening and morning the reception, respectively. Depressive disorders decreased slightly more significantly in chronotherapy (14.1% vs. 7.7%) than in the traditional scheme, but despite this, both cases with (groups) corresponded to depressive spectrum disorders. The results obtained indicate that chronotherapy is more effective than the traditional use of a fixed combination of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin in arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome.

Background. Hypertension (HTN) in metabolic syndrome (MS) in the elderly contributes to the formation of cognitive disorders and anxiety-depressive disorders. Objective. To study the psychological state of elderly patients with HTN and MS treated by evening versus morning dosing of a fixed combination (FC) of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin. Design and methods. In a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial 63 patients aged 60–74 years with HTN and MS received a FC of amlodipine, liiznopril and rosuvastatin at a dose of 5/10/10 mg in the evening (after 20:00 hours) (study group) And 58 patients aged 60–74 years with HTN and MS took the drug in the morning (control group). Cognitive dysfunction was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), anxiety and depressive disorders were assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory adapted by Yu. Khanin and scale of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D). Results. In evening dosing group, MMSE result increased from 17,8 ± of 0,3 to 23,5 ± 0,4 points (р = 0,13) vs. 16,9 ± of 0,3 to 20,4 ± 0,4 points (р = 0,148) in morning dosing. Situational anxiety score decreased from 40,0 ± 2,2 to 30,6 ± 1,8 points (р = 0,009) vs. from 40,8 ± of 2,5 to 33,5 ± 1,9 points (р = 0,011), and personal anxiety score from 48,8 ± 2,0 to 26,4 ± of 1,9 points (р = 0,003) and from 44,9 ± of 1,9 to 30,7 ± of 1,7 points (р = 0,008) in evening and morning dosing, respectively. Depressive disorders decreased similarly and slightly in both groups (14,1% versus 7,7% in evening and morning dosing, respectibely, p = 0,214). Conclusions. The results indicate that chronotherapy is more effective than the traditional use of a FC of amlodipine, lisinopril and rosuvastatin in HTN associated with MS.

Aim        To study the psychological continuum in elderly patients with arterial hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome during the chronotherapy with a fixed combination (FC) of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin.Material and methods        In the inpatient conditions, 63 patients aged 60–74 years with arterial hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome were treated with chronotherapy with a FC of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin (5 / 10 / 10 mg/day in the evening). These patients composed the main group. The control group (58 patients aged 60–74 years with arterial hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome) was treated with the FC of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin at the same dose of 5 / 10 / 10 mg/day in the morning.Results   At one year, the disorders of psychological continuum were significantly decreased with the chronotherapy (evening dosing) with the antihypertensive FC of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin compared to the traditional treatment (morning dosing) at the same dose of 5 / 10 / 10 mg/day in both groups. With the chronotherapeutic approach, the dynamic of cognitive disorders in patients aged 60–74 years with arterial hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome was characterized by a significant increase in the Mini-Mental-State-Examination scale score from 17.8±0.3 at baseline to 23.5±0.4 with the evening dosing (р<0.001) vs. the increase from 16.9±0.3 to 20.4±0.4 (р<0.001) with the morning dosing. The situational anxiety score decreased from 40.0±2.2 to 30.6±1.8 (р<0.05) and from 40.8±2.5 to 33.5±1.9  (р<0.05), and the trait anxiety score decreased from 48.8±2.0 to 26.4±1.9 (р<0.001) and from 44.9±1.9 to 30.7±1.7  (р<0.01) with the evening and morning dosing, respectively. Depressive disorders slightly decreased with the chronotherapy by 14.1 % vs. 7.7 % with the traditional regimen; nevertheless, they were consistent with depressive spectrum disorders in both groups.Conclusion            The study results showed a higher effectiveness of the chronotherapeutic treatment compared to the traditional treatment with FC of amlodipine, lisinopril, and rosuvastatin in arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome.

Today, hypertension is considered by many authors within the framework of the manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. It has been established that in persons with hypertension in 60% of cases, various variants of MS are found. In addition, hypertension is a factor that reduces the quality of life of patients, especially those with comorbid pathology

Results of the study related to polymorphism of ACE gene (rs1799752)‎, integrin αIIbβ3, and CSK gene (rs1378942) influencing development of arterial hypertension in young patients with metabolic syndrome are presented. Hypertension as a component of the metabolic syndrome was detected in 15.0% of young patients. Prevalence of mutant alleles of the studied genes among the examined patients was quite high, so homozygous DD genotype was found in 21.6%, and mutant D allele of the ACE gene in 47.4%. A high risk of hypertension in patients with MS was detected in carriers of the T allele of the CSK (rs1378942) gene – 54.8%, which was most often observed in a combination of polymorphic ACE and CSK gene loci (p = 0.0053).

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To assess the current status of disease-related knowledge and to analyze the relationship among the general condition, illness perception, and psychological status of patients with COVID-19. METHODS: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 118 patients using convenience sampling. The general questionnaire, disease-related knowledge questionnaire of COVID-19, Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), and Profile of Mood States (POMS) were used to measure the current status of participants. RESULTS: The overall average score of the disease-related knowledge of patients with COVID-19 was (79.19 ± 14.25), the self-care situation was positively correlated with knowledge of prevention and control (r=0.265, P=0.004) and total score of disease-related knowledge (r= 0.206, P= 0.025); the degree of anxiety was negatively correlated with the knowledge of diagnosis and treatment (r= -0.182, P= 0.049). The score of disease-related knowledge was negatively correlated with negative cognition (volatility, consequences, emotional statements) and negative emotions (tension, fatigue, depression) (P<0.05); positively correlated with positive cognition (disease coherence) and positive emotion (self-esteem) (P<0.05). CONCLUSION It was recommended that we should pay more attention to the elderly and low-income groups, and increase the knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and self-care in the future health education for patients.

AbstractThe impact of most, but not all, cardiovascular risk factors decline by age. We investigated how the metabolic syndrome (MetS) was related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) during 40 years follow-up in the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men (ULSAM, 2,123 men all aged 50 at baseline with reinvestigations at age 60, 70, 77 and 82). The strength of MetS as a risk factor of incident combined end-point of three outcomes (CVD) declined with ageing, as well as for myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and heart failure when analysed separately. For CVD, the risk ratio declined from 2.77 (95% CI 1.90–4.05) at age 50 to 1.30 (95% CI 1.05–1.60) at age 82. In conclusion, the strength of MetS as a risk factor of incident CVD declined with age. Since MetS was significantly related to incident CVD also at old age, our findings suggest that the occurrence of MetS in the elderly should not be regarded as innocent. However, since our data were derived in an observational study, any impact of MetS in the elderly needs to be verified in a randomized clinical intervention trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with metabolic syndrome in the elderly. METHODS: Cross-sectional study, with 133 individuals randomly selected in the Unified Health System in Goiania, Goiás. The following variables were researched: anthropometric (BMI, waist circumference, fat percentage by Dual X-ray absorptiometry), sociodemographic (gender, age, color, income, marital status and years of schooling), lifestyle (physical activity, smoking and risk alcohol consumption) and food intake (risk and protective foods). The metabolic syndrome was assessed according to harmonized criteria proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The combinations were tested by Poisson regression for confounding factors. RESULTS: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 58.65% (95%CI 49.8 - 67.1), with 60.5% (95%CI 49.01 - 71.18) for females and 55.7% (95%CI 41.33 - 69.53) for males. Hypertension was the most prevalent component of the syndrome in both men, with 80.8% (95%CI 64.5 - 90.4), and women, with 85.2% (95%CI 75.5 - 92.1). After the multivariate analysis, only the excess of weight measured by body mass index (prevalence ratio = 1.66; p < 0.01) remained associated with the metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this sample was high, indicating the need for systematic actions by health workers in the control of risk factors through prevention strategies and comprehensive care to the elderly.

AbstractThe Lufthansa Prevention Study (LUPS) study is a prospective observation of a healthy worker cohort to identify early changes in metabolism leading to the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and to analyze their relation to behavioral factors like nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, and to underlying genetic conditions. The LUPS study recruited a sample of 1.962 non-diabetic healthy adults between 25–60 years, employed at a flight base of Lufthansa Technik GmbH in Hamburg, Germany. Baseline assessments included anthropometric measures, blood and urine samples and medical history. Psychosocial variables, dietary habits and life-style risk factors were assessed via self-reported questionnaires.In this report we describe the study design and present baseline parameters including the prevalence of the MetS using different classification criteria. The MetS was present in 20% of male and 12% of female subjects according to the ‘Harmonizing the metabolic syndrome’ definition. The prevalence varies between 2.6% in male and 2.3% in female subjects up to 48% in male and 41% in female subjects according to different classification criteria of MetS.In conclusion, this first cross-sectional view on the LUPS data confirms the expectation that this cohort is rather healthy and thus provides the opportunity to analyze early changes associated with the development of the MetS. The LUPS study is registered as a clinical trial NCT01313156.

Background: The impact of metabolic syndrome on female sexual dysfunction received modest consideration in clinical practice. The aim of the research was to analyze the international literature to determine the relationship between the metabolic syndrome, its components and female sexual disorders. Methods: We identified relevant full-length papers by electronic databases as Index Medicus/Medline, Scopus, Life Science Journals, from 2005 to the present. Studies were searched using the following as search query: metabolic syndrome, female sexual dysfunction, obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia. Results: Women with metabolic syndrome showed higher prevalence of sexual inactivity and low sexual desire, orgasm and satisfaction respect to women without metabolic syndrome. Particularly metabolic components as diabetes mellitus, dy-slipidemia, systemic arterial hypertension were strongly associated with lower sexual desire, activity and Female Sexual Function Index total score. In contrast, other studies showed no relationship. Conclusion: Our study showed that in the clinical evaluation of women with metabolic syndrome routine inquiring about female sexual dysfunction should be recommended to ameliorate sexual function and quality of life. However more prospective and longitudinal studies on the sexual effects of metabolic syndrome should also be suggested to know the factors related to women's sexuality better.
