the aim was to compare the predictive power for type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) using dynamic change (difference) of metabolic syndrome (ms), difference of fasting plasma glucose (fpg), baseline ms and fpg in cohort study.overall, 3461 subjects were recruited from prevention of multiple metabolic disorders and ms in jiangsu of china study with 3.8 years follow-up. cox proportional-hazards regre...

OBJECTIVE The metabolic syndrome is a loosely defined cluster of cardiovascular risk factors including low HDL cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. Evidence for inclusion of these features in the syndrome has mostly come from cross-sectional studies, and a few studies have examined how the various factors change together over time. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METH...

objective: patients with metabolic syndrome are prone to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. regarding the importance of nutritional factors in management of metabolic syndrome, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of dark chocolate consumption on serum lipid profile in patients with metabolic syndrome. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 114 patients with meta...

Background: Metabolic Syndrome prevalence all over the world is increasing. Assessment at an early age regarding the presence of these is imperative to early prevention and treatment. This study was conducted to evaluate prevalence of the various components of metabolic syndrome in our adolescent population. Methods: A total of 193 young adolescents between ages 17 to 25 years were taken, 106 m...

AIMS To estimate the incidence rate and risk factors for diabetes in the Canary Islands. METHODS A total of 5521 adults without diabetes were followed for a median of 3.5 years. Incident cases of diabetes were self-declared and validated in medical records. The following factors were assessed by Cox regression to estimate the hazard ratios for diabetes: impaired fasting glucose (5.6 mmol/l ≤ ...

tamarindus indica is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes. to elucidate whether tamarindus indica seed aqueous extract (tse) ameliorates metabolic syndrome in hyperinsulinemic rats, we evaluated serum insulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (dheas), triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), very low density lipoprotein (vldl), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hd...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the lifestyle and anthropometric correlates of impaired fasting glucose and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among an Indigenous high-latitude herding population from north-eastern Siberia. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study of Yakut (Sakha) adult volunteers. METHODS We collected health, lifestyle and anthropometric data among 166 Yakut adults (>o...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the difference in the proportion of adolescents with metabolic syndrome diagnosed based on three different criteria, as well as the use of insulin resistance instead of fasting glucose. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 121 obese adolescents, between 10 and 14 years old, from public schools of the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 2011. Anthropometric, blood pressure,...
