conclusions the mathematical meaning of the two insulin-related biomarkers examined was the same, and the odds ratios of the two biomarkers were almost the same after adjustments for other independent variables. objectives a one-year follow-up study was conducted to determine the ability of the insulin-related biomarkers to predict the risk of mets development. patients and methods a total of 2...

objective: to compare the hormonal status in postmenopausal women with and without metabolic syndrome. materials and methods: in this cross sectional study 110 postmenopausal women were enrolled. participants completed a questionnaire and underwent a medical exam and serum evaluation for serum lipids including cholesterol (chol), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl), low density lipoprote...

background: it has been suggested that the autonomic system function and the metabolic syndrome can significantly affect patients' survival. the aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of the cardiac rehabilitation program on the autonomic system balance in patients with coronary artery disease. methods: patients with a previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were refer...

abstract background: vitamin d deficiency is implicated in a wide range of pathological situations including cardiovascular diseases. this study aimed to investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin d (25(oh)d) and risk factors of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. methods: the cross-sectional study was conducted on 169 adults (88 males, 81 females) aged 19-52 years...

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: metabolically obese normal-weight (monw) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (bmi) lower than +1sd with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. this study wants to determine prevalence of monw, metabolically benign normal weight (mbnw), metabolically abnormality obese (mao) and compare the components of metaboli...

the worldwide prevalence of insulin resistant states such as the metabolic syndrome has grown rapidly over the past few decades. the metabolic syndrome is a constellation of common metabolic disorders that promote the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. studies in both human and animal models suggest that hepatic inflammation and insulin resistance are key initiating fact...
