BACKGROUND Prevalence of non-communicable diseases has been increasing at a greater pace in developing countries and, in particular, the South Asia region. Various behavioral, social and environmental factors present in this region perpetuate common metabolic risk factors of non-communicable diseases. This study will identify social determinants of common metabolic risk factors of major non-com...

There are several cardiovascular risk factors that accompany the metabolic syndrome: dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, elevated glucose and a pro-inflammatory state. The likelihood of an individual developing metabolic syndrome is enhanced by the underlying risk factors: obesity, insulin resistance, lack of physical activity and age. In addition to being at higher risk for atherosclerotic ...

high blood pressure control (hbpc) is a common goal of who and the world hypertension league (whl). the two important strategies in hbpc are identifying cardiovascular (cvd) risk factors and planning to modify controllable factors. this study was accomplished to determine the cvd risk factors in high blood pressure (hbp) patients of the rural population, residing in the babol region, north of i...

background it is known that risk factors related to neonatal bacterial sepsis are complex. objectives the current study aimed to determine the risk factors of neonatal sepsis. materials and methods this study was conducted on 1023 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (nicus) in south sinai governorate hospitals from january 2010 till september 2014. demographic data of the neonate...

PURPOSE In youth, poor cardiorespiratory and muscular strength are associated with elevated metabolic risk factors. However, studies examining associations between strength and risk factors have been done exclusively in high income countries, and largely in Caucasian cohorts. The aim of this study was to assess these interactions in schoolchildren in Colombia, a middle income Latin American cou...

Background: With the increased survival rates following the treatment of childhood cancer, it becomes equally important that the need for evidence based surveillance of long term effects of cancer therapy is addressed. This includes the risk of development of metabolic syndrome features like obesity, altered lipid and sugar profile, which was attempted in the present study. Materials and Metho...

Steele RM, Brage S, Corder K, Wareham NJ, Ekelund U. Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and the metabolic syndrome in youth. J Appl Physiol 105: 342–351, 2008. First published March 27, 2008; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00072.2008.— The metabolic syndrome is defined as the coexistence of multiple cardiovascular and diabetes risk factors, the prevalence of which has increased dramaticall...

Uric continues to be explored as a novel risk factor for Metabolic Syndrome. The purpose of our study was identify factors that are associated with hyperuricemia and better understand if uric acid might serve useful component metabolic syndrome.

BACKGROUND This study looked at the association of cystatin-C (cys-C) with severity of metabolic syndrome in Asian Indians. METHODS Five sets of normal glucose tolerance subjects were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES), a population-based study in southern India: 43 subjects with no metabolic risk factors, 44 subjects with one metabolic risk factor, 37 subjects ...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome and its risk factors are predictors of cardiovascular events. Metabolic syndrome is also directly associated with echocardiographic phenotypes. METHODS The current study is the first to investigate the factors associated with both metabolic syndrome risk factors and echocardiographic phenotypes and assess their heritability. Multivariate factor analysis was perfo...
