The aim of this work - to estimate an association of metabolic syndrome (MS) with ischemic heart disease (IHD) in middle-aged Kaunas population and to propose the model for preventing prevalence of MS.
Material and methods. Analysis was performed for 1336 persons aged 35-64 years (603 men and 733 women) - the participants of health survey which has been carried out according to the MONICA study protocol. MS was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for the presence of three or more from five components: central obesity (waist circumference >102/88 cm (men/women)); fasting plasma glucose ≥6.1 mmol/l; triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/l; high density lipoprotein cholesterol <1.04/1.3 mmol/l (men/women); systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥130 and/or 85 mmHg. IHD was diagnosed as previous myocardial infarction, angina pectoris or ischemic changes in electrocardiogram. Lifestyle habits were evaluated using frequency questionnaire. The relationship between MS and IHD in consideration of age and smoking habits was estimated using logistic regression.
Results. Prevalence of MS in the study population was 19.4 percent for men and 26.3 percent for women. Prevalence of MS among men and women increased with age. Hypertension was the most frequent component of MS (64.1 percent for men and 54.2 percent. for women). The rate of IHD was 14.3 percent for men and 19.4 percent for women. Risk of IHD in subjects with MS in comparing to subjects without MS was higher: odds ratio 1.98 (95 percent... [to full text]
