OBJECTIVE The peculiarities of the Metabolic Syndrome in women regarding frequency, pathophysiology, manifestations and therapy will be analyzed. Recommendations will be given for prevention of metabolic syndrome and possible reduction of risks factors for cardiovascular disease. METHODS A review of pertinent studies serves as the basis for the analysis and recommendations of therapeutic stra...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, a potent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), has not been adequately explored in older individuals. Moreover, two sets of criteria have been proposed for the definition of metabolic syndrome, one by the World Health Organization (WHO) and one by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATPIII).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limited evidence was available on the metabolic syndrome and risk of cardiovascular disease in Asia. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of the metabolic syndrome and risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease in Japanese men and women. METHODS We conducted an 18-year prospective study of 9087 Japanese people aged 40 to 69 years (3595 men and 5492 women...

Metabolic syndrome is becoming commoner due to a rise in obesity rates among adults.

conclusions there was a significant association between pms scores and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. further studies are needed to confirm and validate the relationships between lipid profile abnormalities and metabolic disorders with pms. objectives this study was designed to investigate the association of hormonal and metabolic factors with pms among iranian women of reproductive age....

The metabolic syndrome represents combined occurence of atherogenic dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, elevated blood pressure and central adiposity. Pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic state contributing to endothelial dysfunction is a common feature of those with metabolic syndrome. Increasing frequency of abdominal obesity, reaching epidemic proportions, enhances the prevalence of metabolic sy...
