Konuralp Tıp Dergisi, 2019
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women. Methods: The study included 43 postmenopausal women who were admitted to Dicle University Medical School Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic in 2011. Body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, body fat mass and percentage, 24-hour arterial tension measurements, homocysteine (Hcy) level, vitamin B12 level, and Framingham risk score (FRS) were compared between obese (BMI>30 kg/m²) and non-obese (BMI≤30 kg/m²) patients. Results: The patients included 24 (55.8%) obese and 19 (44.2%) non-obese patients. Abdominal obesity was seen in 29 (67.4%) and truncal obesity in 33 (76.7%) participants. Family history of cardiac disease was seen in 25 (58.1%) women, most of whom were obese. Based on FRS, moderate cardiovascular risk was assessed in 21.6%, but none of the participants were at high risk. FRS was higher in patients with ...
Influência do estado nutricional pregresso sobre o desenvolvimento da síndrome metabólica em adultos
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2009
Background: The increase in the prevalence of excess weight among people of increasingly younger age groups may lead to the early development of cardiovascular risks. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among young adults and the impact of birth conditions and nutritional status during adolescence on this disorder. Methods: One hundred individuals were evaluated at three different stages of life. By consulting the database of people enlisted in the army reserve military service, data were collected on weight, height, and waist circumference of all draftees of 1996, 1997, and 1999 in order to analyze their nutritional status during adolescence. Using the same database, information was sought at the maternity on their birth conditions and the adult individuals were identified. Anthropometric and biochemical data were obtained from these adults. The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) was classified according to ATP III NCEP. Body fat percentage was assessed with bioelectrical impedance and the statistical analysis was performed using the Sigma Stat 2.0 software. Results: Prevalence of the MS was detected in 13% of the individuals. The birth conditions showed no relationship with the syndrome. In adolescence, those individuals diagnosed with MS had greater values for weight (11 kg; p =<0.001), WC (8 cm; p < 0.001), and BMI (2.5 kg/m 2 ; p= 0.002). Conclusion: A significant part of the risk factors for cardiovascular conditions starts during childhood and adolescence, and is likely to persist throughout life; therefore, primary prevention measures are critical in the context of cardiovascular disease.

ROmanian multicentric study of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome--ROMES
Hellenic journal of cardiology : HJC = Hellēnikē kardiologikē epitheōrēsē
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an entity with a high and continuously increasing prevalence in the modern world. It is of great importance to have actual data about its prevalence. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of MetS in a selected population (i.e. patients from cardiology departments) using both NCEP ATP-III and IDF criteria. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the correlation of MetS and abdominal obesity with specific cardiovascular pathology, and to compare the prevalence of MetS according to the two definitions. Method: This was a cross-sectional study developed in two parts: the pilot study evaluated all patients admitted to 12 cardiology departments of county hospitals, and the main study included 1176 patients in 15 cardiology departments. Results: The prevalence of MetS in the pilot study (1326 patients, 53.4% men), using only NCEP ATP-III criteria, was 42.8% (45.9% in men and 39.4% in women, p=0.01), while in the main study (1176 patients, 49.7% men) the prevalence of MetS according to NCEP ATP-III and to IDF criteria was 40.6% (38.3% in men and 42.3% in women) and 44.2% (43.1% in men and 45.3% in women), respectively. MetS represented a risk factor only for stable angina (RR=1.35, 95% CI=1.20-1.53, p<0.001), with no gender difference. Conclusions: The prevalence of MetS and abdominal obesity is high in a population with cardiovascular disease. Both classifications showed a slightly higher prevalence of MetS in women compared to men. The relative risk of coronary heart disease associated with MetS was statistically significant only for stable angina.
Metabolic syndrome and its associated risk factors in Brazilian postmenopausal women
Climacteric, 2009
To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its associated risk factors in Brazilian postmenopausal women. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 368 postmenopausal women, aged 40-- 75 years, seeking health care at a public outpatient center in Southeastern Brazil, were included. According to the US National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) guidelines, MetS was diagnosed in subjects with three or more of the following: waist circumference &amp;gt; or =88 cm, blood pressure &amp;gt; or =130/85 mmHg, triglycerides &amp;gt; or =150 mg/dl, high density lipoprotein cholesterol &amp;lt;50 mg/dl and glucose &amp;gt; or =110 mg/dl. Data on past medical history, tobacco use, anthropometric indicators, and values of C-reactive protein (CRP) were collected. Multivariate analysis, using a logistic regression model (odds ratio, OR) was used to evaluate the influence of various simultaneous MetS risk factors. The prevalence of having at least three, four and five MetS diagnostic criteria were met in 39.6%, 16.8% and 3.8% of the cases, respectively. The most prevalent risk factor was abdominal obesity, affecting 62.5% of women. The risk of MetS increased with a personal history of diabetes (OR 5.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.82-12.54), hypertension (OR 4.52, 95% CI 2.89-7.08), cardiovascular disease (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.18-3.94) and high CRP (&amp;gt;1 mg/dl) (OR 3.35, 95% CI 1.65-6.79). Plasma CRP levels increased with the number of MetS components present. Age, time since menopause and smoking had no influence, while hormone therapy reduced MetS risk (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42-0.97). Metabolic syndrome was highly prevalent among Brazilian postmenopausal women seeking gynecologic health care. Abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high CRP were strong MetS predictors and hormone therapy appeared to play a protective role for this condition.
The Metabolic Syndrome among Postmenopausal Women in Gorgan
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012
Introduction. The present study aimed to assess the metabolic syndrome among postmenopausal women in Gorgan, Iran. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted on hundred postmenopausal women who were referred to the health centers in Gorgan. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) guidelines. Results. The mean body mass index, waist circumference, hip, circumference waist-to-hip ratio, diastolic blood pressure, and triglyceride and fasting blood glucose levels were significantly high among postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome, but the mean HDL-cholesterol was significantly low (P < 0.05). Overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 31%. Body mass index and waist circumference had a positive correlation with a number of metabolic syndrome factors (P < 0.001). Body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio had a positive correlation with each other (P < 0.001). BMI had relatively high correlation with WC (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Our results show that postmenopausal status might be a predictor of metabolic syndrome. Low HDL-cholesterol level and high abdominal obesity are the most frequent characteristics in comparison to other metabolic components. Our study also showed some related factors of metabolic syndrome among postmenopausal women. These factors may increase cardiovascular risk among postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome.

Justificativa e Objetivos: A busca por indicadores simples e rápidos de rastreio de síndrome metabólica (SM) é importante, devido à sua alta frequência na população adulta. Contudo, esse aspecto é pouco explorado na população rural brasileira. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação dos componentes da SM com índices lipídicos e parâmetros antropométricos em trabalhadores rurais. Métodos: Estudo transversal com trabalhadores rurais com 18 anos ou mais. A SM foi determinada pelo critério harmonizado. Foram investigados os seguintes componentes da SM: triglicerídeos (TG), glicose em jejum (GLI), pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD), HDL-c e circunferência da cintura (CC). Foram analisados os parâmetros antropométricos - índice de massa corporal (IMC), relação cintura/estatura (RCE) e percentual de gordura corporal (%G) -, bem como os índices lipídicos - índice triglicerídeos glicemia (TyG), produto de acumulação de lipídios (LAP) e índice de adiposidade visceral ...
