Sleep complaints played a role in predicting the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the general population. This cross-sectional survey was performed among elderly people (age ≥ 65 years) who underwent a health examination for senior citizens since March 2009 to November 2009. 1181 participants were surveyed, including 433 men (36.7%) and 748 women (63.3%). We aimed at the association ...

To the Editor: Dr Ahmed and colleagues performed a unique study that found percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation had a similar 12-month mortality risk to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk-adjusted patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1 Few studies have looked at the relation of CMS and PCI outcomes, but o...

Abstract Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by visceral obesity, elevated blood pressure and fasting glucose, increased triglycerides, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. MetS related with intricate gene-environment interactions. FTO RETN variants were linked to the occurrence of MetS, but inconsistent results reported. Therefore, this study was conducted evaluate potent...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), its components and insulin resistance (IR) in the adult population of Yecla. To study the variability between 3 definitions of the syndrome and IR. To identify the variables that predict the presence of IR and to verify the diagnostic validity of several strategies for predicting it. DESIGN Descriptive, cross-sectional study. ...

The present study estimated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) according to the criteria established by the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and analyzed the contribution of social factors in an adult urban population in the Southeastern region of Brazil. The sample plan was based on multistage ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in reproductive-aged polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Thai women. MATERIAL AND METHOD A Cross sectional study was done at the Gynecologic Endocrinology Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital of 250 PCOS Thai women who were diagnosed using Revised Rotterdam 2003 criteria, and who did n...

Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide. Limited data are available trying to compare different definitions suggested to identify MetS. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of MetS and its components based on currently available international and Iranian national definitions. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 amongfema...

We used a land surface model constrained using data from flux tower sites, to analyze the biases in ecosystem energy and water fluxes arising due to the use of meteorological reanalysis datasets. Following site-level model calibration encompassing major vegetation types from the tropics to the northern high-latitudes, we repeated the site and global simulations using two reanalysis datasets: th...
