Abstract:

Objective: This study was done to explore the relationship between components of metabolic syndrome and smoking. Materials and Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study in Ahvaz, south west of Iran, the gathering data sheet was completed. Body mass index, abdominal and waist circumference, Fasting Blood sugar, Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL levels, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured. Atherogenic index, predictor of myocardial infarction, and Brinkman index to investigate cumulative impact of cigarette smoking was calculated. Results: Of the 944 participants, 16.1% were smokers. Among male participants, 24.8% and in female participants, 8.7% were smokers. There was no significant correlation between cigarette smoking and metabolic syndrome. Systolic blood pressure, waist circumference and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in smokers. Comparison of Atherogenic index in participants with and without metabolic syndrome in smokers and non-smokers showed significant difference. In male participants, Atherogenic index was higher than female. Brinkman index showed no significant relationship with metabolic syndrome and its components. Conclusion: Smoking does not show relationship with metabolic syndrome, but has a relationship with mean systolic blood pressure, serum triglyceride levels and waist circumference. Atherogenic index was higher in participants with metabolic syndrome, cigarette smoking and male gender. Brinkman index had no correlation with metabolic syndrome and its components.

Relationship between smoking and metabolic syndrome.

Obesity and smoking are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The diseases and conditions associated with smoking make tobacco use one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In the World Health Organization European region, overweight and obesity are responsible for many chronic diseases, causing more than one million deaths each year. Smoking cessation is associated with a ...

Correlation between metabolic syndrome factors and cigarette smoking

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies demonstrate the adverse effects of smoking on serum lipid profile but there is no evidence that smoking is correlated with metabolic syndrome components such as lipid profile and obesity. The purpose of this study is evaluating lifestyle factors like smoking on metabolic syndrome compo...

Association between cigarette smoking and metabolic syndrome.

In the August 2005 issue of Diabetes Care, Oh et al. (1) reported that, in a representative population-based sample of 3,452 Korean men, cigarette smoking is associated with the metabolic syndrome. They also show a dosedependent effect, with prevalence of the syndrome progressively increasing with the number of cigarettes smoked. Of the components of the syndrome, dyslipidemia (high triglycerid...

relationship between metabolic syndrome and chronic periodontitis

introduction: metabolic syndrome (ms) is a common disorder which is characterized by abdominal obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and hyperglycemia that might lead to periodontitis by suppressing the immune system. due to the availability of a limited number of studies and discrepancies in the results of previous studies, this study was undertaken to...

Atherogenic dyslipidemia and the metabolic syndrome.

INTRODUCTION High serum cholesterol has been known as being a main risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). A number of types of evidence support the cholesterol-CHD link, these include researches in laboratory animals, epidemiological studies, findings of premature CHD in genetic forms of hypercholesterolemia, laboratory investigations, and clinical trials of cholesterol-lowering therapy....
