Evaluation of Metabolic Syndrome among Patients with Type 1 Diabetes (original) (raw)

2009

Abstract

The aim of this study is to estimate the ratio of the Metabolic Syndrome (MS) among adults with Type 1 Diabetes (DM1) according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. In addition, we assessed whether MS is associated with microvascular complications, age, diabetes duration and glycemic control. This is a cross-sectional study with 101 patients from the Rio de Janeiro Diabetes Institute. The overall percentage of MS in patients with DM1 was 32%, 32% and 26%, respectively, according to WHO, NCEP and IDF criteria. There was an increase in the ratio of MS related to the duration of diabetes when we applied WHO (p= 0.0009) and IDF (p= 0.0004) criteria and but not with NCEP criteria (p= 0.3151). MS correlated with with age, as seen in those patients above 40 years-old and when we used WHO (p=0.011) and IDF (p=0.0003) criteria. In the same way, patients with poor glycemic control had more M...
