. Metabolic syndrome is a serious problem in Saudi Arabia. It has been attributed mainly to life style. Exposure to airborne particulate matter is a subject of concern in Jeddah. The present study aimed to find a possible association of metabolic syndrome prevalence with levels of particulate matter and their elemental constituents. The study was conducted in two districts of Jeddah, Al Nuzlah and Al Rehab. PM10 and PM2.5 were measured in each district as well as their elemental composition. Metabolic syndrome was defined by the presence of three components: hyperglycemia, hypertension and obesity. Al Nuzlah district showed higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome, together with higher levels of PM2.5, nickel and cadmium. It can be concluded that exposure to particulate matter may be considered as an additional risk factor for metabolic syndrome.

Disordered Breathing

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) encompasses a spectrum of conditions that can lead to altered sleep homeostasis. In particular, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common form of SDB and is associated with adverse cardiometabolic manifestations including hypertension, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, ultimately increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathophysiological basis of these associations may relate to repeated intermittent hypoxia and fragmented sleep episodes that characterize OSA which drive further mechanisms with adverse metabolic and cardiovascular consequences. The associations of OSA with type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome have been described in studies ranging from epidemiological and observational studies to controlled trials investigating the effects of OSA therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In recent years, there have been rising prevalence rates of diabetes and obesity worldwide. Given the established links between SDB (in particular OSA) with both conditions, understanding the potential influence of OSA on the components of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes and the underlying mechanisms by which such interactions may contribute to metabolic dysregulation are important in order to effectively and holistically manage patients with SDB, type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome. In this article, we review the literature describing the associations, the possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms linking these conditions and the effects of interventions including CPAP treatment and weight loss.
