background: metabolic syndrome (mets) is a prevalent disorder in pediatric age groups, described by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. sterol regulatory element‑binding transcription factor 1 (srebf‑1) induces the expression of a family of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis. moreover, dysregulation of mir‑33b, which is located within the intron 17 of the srebf‑1 gene, disru...

conclusions it can be concluded that mets may increase the risk of gerd. consequently, there might be potential benefits to treating the metabolic abnormalities in these patients. context the incidences of both gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) and metabolic syndrome (mets) have increased in recent years, and it has been suggested that there is a probable association between the two. the a...

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...

BACKGROUND We investigated the effect of longitudinal status change in metabolic syndrome (MetS) assessed by two different criteria on new onset of type 2 diabetes (NODM) in a Japanese population. METHODS The participants were 827 non-diabetic citizens who had undergone medical examinations in 1994 and 2003 or 2004. We used two different criteria of MetS: the interim criteria by 6 institution...

conclusions adherence to the meddiet, according to mds and sofi-mds, may not predict mets components and mets incidence after 3 years of follow-up in iranian adult populations. results after adjusting for potential confounders, neither higher mds nor higher sofi-mds were significantly associated with the mean values of mets components and the risk of metabolic abnormalities incidence after 3 ye...

Objective(s): Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major risk factors of death globally. One of the most undeniable reasons of CVDs is metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is defined as a complex of diseases including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The use of complementary medicine such as traditional herbal species can be effective in t...

BACKGROUND Although many studies have reported an association between self-reported physical activity and metabolic syndrome (MetS), there is limited information on the optimal level of physical activity required to prevent MetS. This study aimed to determine the association between objectively measured physical activity and MetS in middle-aged Japanese individuals. We also determined the optim...
