background: the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mets) in polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) has been studied in different populations, but their results were so controversial regarding iranian women. these controversial data indicated the need for more investigation of mets characteristics in pcos patients in our population. so this study aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory characteri...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) management programs conventionally focus on the adults having MetS. However, risk assessment for MetS development is also important for many adults potentially at risk but do not yet fulfill MetS criteria at screening. Therefore, we conducted this follow-up study to explore whether initial screening records can be efficiently applied on the prediction of the...

Background—Inflammation markers and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with risk of congestive heart failure (CHF). We evaluated whether combining inflammation markers and MetS provided additive information for incident CHF and if incorporating inflammation markers to the MetS definition added prognostic information. Methods and Results—We studied 4017 men and women 65 years old, without ...
