Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of complex interrelated risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease which includes central obesity, glucose intolerance, hypertension, high triglyceride and low HDL-C. The prevalence of MS in Asian Indian is 49.2%. There is evidence of increasing prevalence of MS in the world. Therefore, we intended to find the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the local population of Patan, a major urban center in Nepal. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study which was carried out in one of the urban clusters (or wards) of the Lalitpur Sub- Metropolitan (or Patan) City. Measurements of waist circumference, height, weight; blood parameters like lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS) were done. Measurement of blood pressure was done. The prevalence of MS was obtained by using three different criteria Joint Interim Statement 2009 criteria, International diabetes federation (IDF) 2005 criteria and National cholesterol education program adult treatment Panel (NCEP ATP) III 2001 criteria. Results: There were 205 participants among which 34.6% were male and 65.4% were female. The prevalence of MS as per the Joint Interim Statement 2009, IDF 2005 and NCEP ATP III 2001 criteria was 61.7%, 52.7% and 43.4% respectively. There was significantly high total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TAG), FBS, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and significantly low HDL-C in the individuals with MS compared to the normal individuals. The logistic regression revealed the increasing prevalence of MS with increasing age, BMI and positive family history of diabetes. Conclusions: There is high prevalence of MS in the study population. Age, BMI and family history of diabetes are found to be the main predictors for metabolic syndrome.

The prevalence and influencing factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese residents aged 20 or older were investigated. The data were collected from China Nutrition and Health Surveillance (2015–2017), which used a stratified, multistage, random sampling method. A total of 130,018 residents aged 20 years or older from 31 provinces were included in this study. The National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used to define MetS. The standardised prevalence of high waist circumference, high blood pressure and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 40.8%, 49.4% and 41.1%, respectively. The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of MetS: female [odds ratio (OR) = 1.773, 95% CI = 1.709–1.840]; older age (OR = 1.037, 95% CI = 1.036–1.039); living in north China (OR = 1.087, 95% CI = 1.058–1.117); high body mass index (OR = 1.402, 95% CI = 1.395–1.408); higher income [OR (95% CI): 1.044 (1.007–1.083), 1.083 (1.044–1.124) and 1.123 (1.078–1.170) for moderate, high, and very high income, respectively]; family history of hypertension (OR = 1.237, 95% CI = 1.203–1.273); family history of diabetes (OR = 1.491, 95% CI = 1.426–1.558) and current smoking status (OR = 1.143, 95% CI = 1.098–1.191). Living in the countryside (OR = 0.960, 95% CI = 0.932–0.988), moderate alcohol consumption (OR = 0.917, 95% CI = 0.889–0.946) and being physically active (OR = 0.887, 95% CI = 0.862–0.913) were associated with a lower prevalence of MetS. The prevalence of MetS among residents aged 20 years or older in China is increasing, especially among women, people aged 45 years or older and urban residents. Preventive efforts, such as quitting smoking and engaging in physical activity, are recommended to reduce the risk of MetS.

Abstract Background Intake of snack foods has been previously associated with an elevated risk of chronic disease; however, studies on snack foods and metabolic syndrome (MetS) while considering the modifying effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle factors on this association are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between snack foods intake and the MetS risk, and the mediatory effects of SES and lifestyle factors on the forenamed association among adults who participated in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006–2018). Methods This is a prospective study of 1915 participants (male, 40.5%), aged 19–74 year who were free of MetS at baseline. Dietary intakes were gathered using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at baseline (2006–2008), and with 3-year intervals afterwards. Alternative approach was used for snack foods from all available questionnaires during follow-up. Snack foods were divided into 4 categories, including total snacks, biscuits and cakes, candies and chocolate, and salty snacks. Total snack foods intake and its subgroup (serving/week) were modeled as tertiles. MetS was diagnosed according to the Joint Interim Statement criteria. Physical activity level (PAL) categorized as low/medium and high levels. Information regarding smoking (Smoker/Non-smoker), education (higher/lower education), and occupation (employed/non-employed) was gathered using questionnaire. The Cox regression was used, regarding interaction between snack foods, SES, and PAL on the MetS risk. Results A total of 591 incident MetS cases were diagnosed during 8.9 years of follow-up. The median total snack foods intake was 5.2 serving/week (IQR: 3.0–9.1). Total snack foods intake was positively associated with the MetS risk after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted for age and gender, energy intake, total fiber intake, smoking status, PAL, education levels, family history of diabetes, family history of CVD events, and BMI). After adjustment for confounders, among snacks’ subgroups, candies and chocolate intake was positively associated with MetS risk. Moreover, among lower-educated and non-employed participants, candies and chocolate intake was positively associated with the MetS risk, by 38 and 43% respectively. Stratification based on PAL resulted a positive association between intake of total snack foods and candies and chocolates and risk of MetS among participants with low PAL. Conclusion Snack foods, especially candies and chocolate, increased the risk of MetS, among individuals with a low PAL.

Aim: The present research aimed to determine the relation between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and thyroid volume and nodule prevalence among Turkish population patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried on 850 patients between the ages of 20 and 65 who visited the diabetic, endocrinology, and general surgery outpatient clinics in the Mega Medipol and Medipol Hospital between January 2014 and December 2017. This study included sociodemographic information, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures, and clinical biochemistry results such as serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose levels, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3, T4, and other MetS parameters. Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy was suggested to patients whose thyroid nodules were greater than 1.00 cm. The definition and diagnostic of MetS used as proposed by the National Cholesterol Education Program—Third Adult Treatment Panel. Results: There were statistically significant differences between patients with thyroid nodules and those without regarding age, gender, BMI, physical activity, cigarette smoking, shisha smoking, family history of diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid. Meanwhile, statistically significant differences were found between with and without MetS for calcium ( P = .028), magnesium ( P < .001), potassium ( P < .001), fasting blood glucose ( P = .047), HbA1c ( P < .001), HDL ( P < .001), LDL ( P < .001), albumin ( P = .008), bilirubin ( P = .002), triglyceride ( P = .011), SBP ( P = .001) and DBP ( P = .011), TSH ( P = .005), T3 ( P < .001), and T4 ( P < .001). Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences between participants with and without thyroid nodules for calcium ( P < .001), magnesium ( P < .001), potassium ( P < .001), fasting blood glucose ( P = .010), HbA1c ( P = .019), HDL ( P < .001), LDL ( P = .012), albumin ( P = .002), bilirubin ( P < .001), triglyceride ( P < .001), SBP ( P < .001) and DBP ( P = .004), TSH ( P = .015), T3 ( P < .001), and T4 ( P < .001). Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis used for independent predictors for the presence of thyroid nodules which TSH ( P < .001), family history of thyroid and DM ( P < .001), age in years ( P = .025), DBP and SBP ( P < .001), BMI ( P = .014), HDL-C ( P = .034), and waist circumference (in cm; P = .044) were considered at higher risk as a predictors of thyroid with patients with MetS. Conclusion: The results of the current study confirm a strong positive association between MetS and thyroid nodules risk among patients with MetS. This study suggest that the patients with MetS can be considered as a marker to have moderately increased risk of future thyroid nodules and cancer. Meanwhile, MetS, obesity, and hyperglycemia could be a qualifiable and modifiable risk factor for thyroid nodules. The regularly glycemic control may be the most important treatment for the reduction of incidence or the prevention of thyroid.
