Background: Risk factors can lead to clinical conditions, like metabolic syndrome, that predisposes the development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The goal of this population-based, prospective and non-randomised cohort study was to study the association between patients with metabolic syndrome and other various factors defining metabolic syndrome. Methods: All the patients referred to the department of Medicine, Al-Ameen Medical college hospital and District Hospital, Vijayapur, Karnataka, India over a period of twenty-two months extending from December 2013 to September 2015 were considered in this study. Results: In the current study, out of 100 patients, 62.9% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus. 70.8% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of smoking. 64.3% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of alcohol .73.9% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of IHD. 87% of the patients with metabolic syndrome had SBP> 130 mmHg, and 78.85% patients had DBP>85 mmHg. And metabolic syndrome was observed in 71.8% patients on anti hypertensive drugs. The mean level of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride is increased whereas the mean level of anti-atherogenic HDL cholesterol is low in subjects with MS. At least one lipid abnormality was present in > 95 % of cases. Around 81% subjects with BMI <25 (out of 38) had metabolic syndrome and 58% subjects with BMI>25(out of 62) had metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: All the components defining the metabolic syndrome correlated positively with the abdominal obesity. Systolic blood pressure values were significantly higher than diastolic blood pressure in subjects with abdominal obesity. Metabolic syndrome has multiple risk factors determined by various aspects like the race, the life style, geographical factors larger study is needed to understand the correlation between various components defining it. A healthy lifestyle, that includes avoiding tobacco exposure and proper weight control, must be encouraged in this high-risk population.

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Physiological variations occurring in women during menopause are thought to be a predisposing factor for the metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its individual components according to menopausal status in a sample of Moroccan women. Methods: We analyzed data of 653 women aged 19 years and older. We used the recently published joint interim statement criteria to classify subjects as having metabolic syndrome. Results: Out of the total subjects, 262 (40.12%) were syndromic. The metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity were more common in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women. The highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome was observed in menopausal transition especially among women aged 49-52 years (62.59%). During this period, half of women have at least three metabolic syndrome risk factors. Conclusion: Abdominal obesity associated with metabolic changes occurring in menopause was a risk factor for the development of metabolic syndrome in women. There is a need to adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent weight gain in women. This can minimize the incidence of metabolic syndrome and its consequences as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Метаболический синдром - это комплекс взаимосвязанных нарушений углеводного и жирового обмена, а также механизмов регуляции АД и функции эндотелия, в основе развития которых лежит снижение чувствительности тканей к инсулину. Следовательно, ведущим компонентом, патофизиологической основой и объединяющим фактором большинства симптомов, описываемых в рамках метаболического синдрома, является резистентность периферических тканей к действию инсулина, тесно коррелирующая с большинством метаболических нарушений. Необходимо подчеркнуть, что практически все составляющие метаболического синдрома являются установленными факторами риска развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Вероятность развития метаболического синдрома увеличивается с возрастом. В статье обсуждается возможность представления метаболического синдрома как геронтологической проблемы. Metabolic syndrome is a complex of interrelated disorders of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, as well as mechanisms for regulating blood pressure and endothelial function, which are based on a decrease in tissue sensitivity to insulin. Therefore, the leading component, pathophysiological basis and uniting factor of most of the symptoms described in metabolic syndrome is the resistance of peripheral tissues to the action of insulin, which is closely correlated with most metabolic disorders. It should be emphasized that almost all components of metabolic syndrome are established risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases. The likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome increases with age. The article discusses the possibility of presenting the metabolic syndrome as a gerontological problem.

Thrifty Phenotype Hypothesis

A wealth of epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies have been linked to poor intrauterine conditions as well as metabolic and associated cardiovascular changes postnatal. These are novel perspectives connecting the altered intrauterine milieu to a rising number of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia as well as the Metabolic Syndrome (Met S). Moreover, metabolic associated atherosclerotic diseases are connected to perigestational maternal health. The “Thrifty Phenotype Hypothesis” introduced cross-generational links between poor conditions during gestation and metabolic as well as cardiovascular alterations postnatal. Still, mechanisms altering the intrauterine milieu causing metabolic and associated atherosclerotic diseases are currently poorly understood. This paper will give novel insights in fundamental concepts connected to specific molecular mechanisms “programming” diabetes and associated metabolic as well as cardiovascular diseases.

The Metabolic Syndrome

145 Background: Reavan in 1988 noted that several risk factors for cardiovascular diseases commonly cluster together, and he recognised them as a disease, named syndrome X, currently known as metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a group of disorders related to insulin resistance, characterized clinically by central obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that pediatric cancer survivors are at a greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome. We studied the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children with cancer who completed their treatment and on follow up. Methods: All relevant past medical data (of the disease, treatment and all events) were collected from the medical records. Tanner staging was perfomred, height was measured using a Harpenden stadiometer. Weight/WAIST circumference were measured. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg)/(height (m)²). BMI ≥90thcentile as per CDC chart was taken as abnormal. Blood pressure was measured on the right arm of the patient. Presence of family history of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypercholesterolemia were taken. Fasting Blood sugar, insulin, HbA1C, lipid profile were done. We used IDF(International diabetes federation) criteria to assess the metabolic syndrome among cancer survivors. This study was approved by our university ethics comittee. Results: Seventy five children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Out of which 48 were males and 27 were females. Among these, majority of children are treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 8.25% of total population satisfied the criteria of metabolic syndrome. Age, gender, diagnosis, modality of treatment were not to be of statistical significance, however majority of children with metabolic syndrome are in adolescent group. Conclusions: With the better care committed to children with cancer even in developing country, the survival rates are greatly improving and so metabolic syndrome is becoming the major target for intervention in the follow up of cancer survivors. As metabolic syndrome cannot treated by a single drug therapy, it is necessary to have cancer survivors follow up screening.
