The metabolic syndrome (MS) is the main clinical and public health challenge in the world, in the wake of urbanization, excess energy intake, increased obesity, sedentary lifestyle and habits. MS leads to a 5-fold increase the risk of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and 2 times the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) over the next 5 to 10 years. The aim of the research is to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome syndrome in the Pech District according to NCEP ATD III / 2001. Material and methods: Cross sectional study was carried out at the General Hospital in Pec, which represents a regional hospital for the Pec District. A total of 1667 patients from the Pech district were interviewed for a period of one year. Results: In the group, MS was present in 506 patients. In the majority of cases, we found the systolic blood pressure condition ≥ 130 mmHg -99.4%, followed by diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmH-96.4%, elevated triglycerides ≥ 1.7 mmol / l- 94.7%, waist circumference> 88 cm in women-94.0% , increased glycemia ≥ 6.1mmol / L in 80.0%, waist circumference > 102cm in men-65.5%, HDL values ​​<1.03mmol / L in men - 56.9%  and HDL values ​​<1.03mmol / L in females 51.5%. The mean value of systolic blood pressure in patients with MS is 151.1 ± 9.3 mmHg. The average value of diastolic blood pressure in patients with MS is 91.0 ± 4.7 mmHg. The average waist circumference of patients with MC was 103.6 ± 9.2 cm. The mean HDL of patients with MS is 1.1 ± 0.2 mmol / L. The average glycemic value in patients with MS is 6.5 ± 0.6 mmol / Average triglyceride value in patients with MS and is 2.5 ± 0.8 mmol / L. The most common in patients with MS is obesity / obesity - 70.8%, overweight is 27.8%, and 1.4% normal weight is registered. Conclusions: The prevalence of MS in the Pech district is 30.4% and was approximately as in Croatia 34% and Tetovo region with 28.25%, but it was dependent on the population and definitions used. The metabolic syndrome is one of the major public health problems, and a socioeconomic problem around the world and in  Kosovo, too.

The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is significantly increasing. The elevated serum uric acid (SUA) level is correlated with the metabolic risk of cardiovascular. The relationship between SUA levels and components of MetS has been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to know the correlation between SUA level and component of MetS by analyzng. This study was a cross-sectional design conducted on healthy people at the Medical Check Up (MCU) Clinic, Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from June 2012 until February 2013. MetS was defined according to the 2005 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. The statistical analysis was done by Student’s T test, Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients. The researchers considered p<0.05 as statistically significant with a 95% confidence interval. A total of 80 healthy subjects, (range 19–57 years) were enrolled into this study. MetS was diagnosed in 40 persons where men (62.5%) were more than women and the non-MetS in women (62.5%) were more than men. In this study, a positive correlation was found between SUA and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference (Pearson r=0.354, 0.495, 0.399, respectively, p<0.05) in women, but not in men. The SUA was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference, particularly in women. A long term study is needed to investigate the consequence of increasing the SUA level in metabolic disorders and hormonal influences as well.

Abstract Background This study explored the association between inactive time and measures of adiposity, clinical parameters, obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome components. It further examined the impact of reallocating inactive time to time in bed, light physical activity (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on cardio-metabolic risk factors, including measures of adiposity and body composition, biochemical parameters and blood pressure in older adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 2189 Caucasian men and women (age 55–75 years, BMI 27–40 Kg/m2) from the PREDIMED-Plus study (http://www.predimedplus.com/). All participants had ≥3 components of the metabolic syndrome. Inactive time, physical activity and time in bed were objectively determined using triaxial accelerometers GENEActiv during 7 days (ActivInsights Ltd., Kimbolton, United Kingdom). Multiple adjusted linear and logistic regression models were used. Isotemporal substitution regression modelling was performed to assess the relationship of replacing the amount of time spent in one activity for another, on each outcome, including measures of adiposity and body composition, biochemical parameters and blood pressure in older adults. Results Inactive time was associated with indicators of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Reallocating 30 min per day of inactive time to 30 min per day of time in bed was associated with lower BMI, waist circumference and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (all p-values < 0.05). Reallocating 30 min per day of inactive time with 30 min per day of LPA or MVPA was associated with lower BMI, waist circumference, total fat, visceral adipose tissue, HbA1c, glucose, triglycerides, and higher body muscle mass and HDL cholesterol (all p-values < 0.05). Conclusions Inactive time was associated with a poor cardio-metabolic profile. Isotemporal substitution of inactive time with MVPA and LPA or time in bed could have beneficial impact on cardio-metabolic health. Trial registration The trial was registered at the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial (ISRCTN: http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN89898870) with number 89898870 and registration date of 24 July 2014, retrospectively registered.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the correlation between anthropometric indicators and blood pressure of adolescents from Imperatriz, state of Maranhão, Brazil. It is a quantitative cross-sectional study, developed between September and November of 2012 with 218 students. We used a questionnaire to collect data regarding identification, anthropometrics, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Considering blood pressure, we found that 4.6%, 2.4% and 1.3% of the sample were included in the borderline, stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension categories, respectively. Among female participants, body adiposity index and skinfold presented higher mean values than those of their male counterparts. Furthermore, we observed a positive correlation between systolic blood pressure and height (r=0.18), weight (r=0.20) and waist circumference (r=0.17), and a negative correlation between diastolic blood pressure and body adiposity index (r=-0.18). The measures of neck and waist circumference were the only anthropometric measures with positive and simultaneous correlations with systolic blood pressure for both genders.

Abstract BackgroundWe aim to investigate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among general population in Nanjing, China.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 among adults aged 18 years or older in Nanjing, China. Participants were selected using multistage sampling approach. Diagnosed MetS was the outcome variable. Education and monthly family average income (FAI) was used to separately indicate SES. Mixed-effects models were used to calculate the association between SES and MetS.ResultsThe prevalence of MetS was 19.7% (95%CI=19.0%, 20.4%) among overall sample population. After controlling for covariates, educational attainment was negatively associated with MetS prevalence in women. As for men, the most well-educated subjects were at the lowest risk (OR=0.72, 95%CI=0.57, 0.92) of having MetS compared to the least educated subjects. Relative to those who from lower FAI sub-group, participants from upper tertile were less likely to have MetS for both genders (OR=0.73, 95%CI=0.617, 0.87; OR=0.85, 95%CI=0.73, 0.99). Among all participants, higher education level predicted lower waist circumference, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fasting glucose concentration. Higher FAI was associated with lower waist circumference and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in women, and with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in men.ConclusionsEducation and family average income each was inversely related to MetS and its components prevalence in Nanjing, China in 2017. It has important public health implications that the tailored prevention strategies should be implemented for people with different socioeconomic status.
