STUDY ON PREVALENCE OF ASSOCIATION BETWEEN METABOLIC SYNDROME COMPONENTS
Abstract
In Europe, approximately 25% of population are estimated to have metabolic syndrome (MS), with similar prevalence values in Latin America. In general, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome increases with age with nearly 40% of people aged 60 and older meeting the diagnostic criteria. Material and methods: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of associations between metabolic syndrome components to find a pattern applicable to patients with this pathology. The study was conducted on a total of 1,528 patients over 18 months, from 01.06.2017 to 31.12.2018, within a general practitioner (GP) medical office, being an epidemiological case-control study. Results: Studying the distribution of Harmonized I diagnostic criteria in the research group, we obtained the following data: 15.7% of subjects were included into MS with three components (MS3); 6.9% of the participants fall into the MS with four components (MS4); 2.87% of the patients included in the study group all five components of the metabolic syndrome (MS5). Out of a total of 203 women diagnosed with MS, we identified the presence of five-component MS in 10.83% of MS patients, while 31.03% were diagnosed with MS4. Conclusions: Early diagnosis of MS by the family doctor may reduce the cardiometabolic risk, the costs it generates, and could increases patients’ quality of life.
