BACKGROUND Although many risk factors for Metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been reported, there is no clinical score that predicts its incidence. The purposes of this study were to create and validate a risk score for predicting both incidence and recovery from MetS in a large cohort. METHODS Subjects without MetS at enrollment (n = 13,634) were randomly divided into 2 groups and followed to re...

Background Iron status has been linked with impaired glucose metabolism (IGM), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but role of hepatic steatosis or iron overload on these associations remains uncertain. Methods We analysed data from 2310 participants without known T2DM population-based Study Health in Pomerania (SHIP-TREND, Germany) through logistic regression mod...

BACKGROUND Prevention of diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD) is possible but identification of at-risk patients for targeting interventions is a challenge in primary care. METHODS We analyzed electronic health record (EHR) data for 122,715 patients from 12 primary care practices. We defined patients with risk factor clustering using metabolic syndrome (MetS) characteristics defined by N...

The aim of this study was to investigate the independent associations among cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in children. The sample consisted of 112 children (11.4  ±  0.4 years). Data was obtained for children's anthropometry, cardiorespiratory fitness, MetS components, and CRP levels. MetS was defined using criteria analogous to the Adult Tre...

BACKGROUND Although dichotomous criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS) appear heritable, it is not known whether MetS severity as assessed by a continuous MetS score is heritable and whether this varies by race. METHODS AND RESULTS We used SOLAR (Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines) to evaluate heritability of Adult Treatment Panel-III MetS and a sex- and race-specific MetS se...

background: a hypothesis has been presented about the role of serum iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and resistance to insulin (metabolic syndrome [mets]), but there is much controversy. this study aimed at investigating the level of serum iron and demographic characteristics in patients with nafld with or without mets. meth...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: obesity in accordance with metabolic syndrome (mets) confronts populations at the higher risk of morbidity and mortality of chronic diseases including, chronic kidney diseases (ckd). the renal complication of obesity and mets has been less debated in young adolescents. the objective of this study was to assess the kidney function in obes...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical syndrome that consists of visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and impaired insulin sensitivity. Although individual components of MetS have been implicated in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), few studies have examined the effect of combinations of the components of MetS on the development of CKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD). ...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) increased recently and there was still not a screening index to predict MetS. The aim of this study was to estimate whether brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a novel marker for systemic arterial stiffness, could predict MetS in Chinese community population. METHODS A total of 2 191 participants were recruited and underwent medic...

BACKGROUND Not only the prevalence, but also the progress of metabolic abnormalities in schizophrenic patients is of importance for treatment planning and policy making. However, there have been very few prospective studies of metabolic disturbance in schizophrenic patients. This study aimed to assess the progress of metabolic abnormalities in Thai individuals with schizophrenia by estimating t...
