The study aim was to evaluate the risk factors, clinical components, diagnostic criteria of the metabolic syndrome (MS) and to estimate its relationship with neuropsychiatric disorders. This is the first study in Lithuania in which were examined the relationship between neuropsychiatric disorders (major depression, dysthymia, suicidality, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder) and the MS in randomized population based adult sample. Were evaluated relationship between demographic characteristics and MS rate, were elucidated prevalent risk factors and clinical components and evaluated ability of MS diagnostic criteria to identify subjects with insulin resistance. It was established, that MS was more frequent in women, in elderly and in unemployed subjects; more prevalent components – arterial hypertension and central obesity; the central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and microalbuminuria were established more prevalent in the elderly; the odds to have MS increases with higher stage of carbohydrate disorder; the type 2 diabetes mellitus in family history and obesity increases odds to have the MS; the usage criteria of the World Health Organisation or International Diabetes Federation for diagnostic of MS provides significant more odds to identify subjects with insulin resistance; the significant relationship were assessed between the MS and these neuropsychiatric disorders: major depression, suicidality and posttraumatic stress disorder.
