background: the aim of this study was to examine the interaction of dietary food groups and genetic variants of apoa1/apoc3, relative to metabolic syndrome (mets) risk in adults. methods: in this matched nested case-control study, 414 mets subjects and 414 controls were selected from among participants of tehran lipid and glucose study. dietary intake was assessed with the use of a valid and re...

introduction: metabolic syndrome constitutes a cluster of risk factors such as obesity, hyperglycemia,  hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type ii diabetes mellitus. in this review article, we aimed to discuss the possible effects of fasting and regular physical activity on risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.  methods: online databases i...

conclusions there is a relationship between depression and metabolic syndrome. results seventeen studies were analyzed with a sample size of 31880 people. analysis by the type of studies showed that the relationship between the two variables in cross-sectional studies (or = 1.51, ci 95% = 1.36 - 1.68) and cohort studies (or = 1.6, ci 95% = 1.23 - 2.08) was significant. in general, the heterogen...

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a combination of cardio-metabolic risk factors. Given that genetic factors have been shown to contribute to individual susceptibility to MetS, the identification of genetic markers for disease risk is essential. Recent studies revealed that rs780094 and rs1260326 of glucokinase regulatory gene (GCKR) are associated with serum triglycerid...

BACKGROUND The impact of metabolic syndrome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not yet been studied. In a population-based sample of patients with AMI, we sought to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with AMI, its impact on hospital outcomes, and to assess the relative influence of each of the components of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult...

Introduction: Uric acid, the metabolic product of Purine nucleotide, increased in the metabolic syndrome condition which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The metabolic syndrome comprises components of some complex interrelated factors such as dysglycemia, raised blood pressure, elevated triglyceride levels, low – high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and ob...

There is increasing evidence regarding the relationship between metabolic syndrome and mortality. However, previous research examining metabolic syndrome and mortality in older populations has produced mixed results. In addition, there is a clear need to identify and manage individual components of metabolic syndrome to decrease cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. In this meta-analysis, we ...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is the primary metabolic disorder associated with obesity; yet little is known about its role as a determinant of the metabolic syndrome in obese children. The aim of this study is to assess the association between the degree of insulin resistance and the different components of the metabolic syndrome among obese children and adolescents. METHODS An analytical, c...

Abstract   Background: Prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOs) is increasing particularly among the female adolescents and young women. It has been hypothesized that disturbance in calcium and vitamin-D metabolism may affect the symptoms of this syndrome. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between vitamin-D and calcium with metabolic parameters and other c...

BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome is a group of factors that predispose to cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is rising rapidly. Recently, a few studies have suggested that lower thyroid function in the reference range may be associated with metabolic syndrome, but the issue remains unsettled. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between thyroid function and components ...
