background:the current study aimed at evaluating the association between thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh) level in upper normal limits with metabolic syndrome, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and its components according to adult treatment panel iii of national cholesterol education program. methods: the current cross sectional study recruited 82 patients with euthyroid over...

OBJECTIVE The optimum definition of the metabolic syndrome (MS) is not known. We compared international definitions of MS [recently proposed modified definition of National Cholesterol Education Programme, Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP, ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF)] with two proposed candidate definitions in adult Asian Indians. DESIGN Data from three previous cross-...

The metabolic syndrome (MS) recognized as a major cause of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, has become one of the major public health challenges worldwide. The pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome is multiple and still poorly understood. No single factor has yet been identified as an underlying causal factor. There is a growing belief, however, that obesity, specially visceral obe...

BACKGROUND The criteria for best defining the metabolic syndrome (MS), especially in the elderly population, are still little known, and the understanding is increasingly necessary. OBJECTIVE Compare the four MS definition proposals, two official ones (National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III/NCEP-ATPIII and International Diabetes Federation/IDF) and two proposed def...

background: metabolic syndrome (ms) is defined as a pattern of metabolic disorders including central obesity, insulin resistance or hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. many studies show a clear relationship between diet and components of ms. the aim of the current study was to identify barriers to adherence to dietary recommendations among iranian ms patients. methods: the the...

conclusions there was a significant association between pms scores and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. further studies are needed to confirm and validate the relationships between lipid profile abnormalities and metabolic disorders with pms. objectives this study was designed to investigate the association of hormonal and metabolic factors with pms among iranian women of reproductive age....

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of glucose intolerance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia with visceral fat accumulation. This study was undertaken to assess which components of metabolic syndrome (MS), including uric acid and proinflammatory markers, are related to adiponectin levels in overweight and obese women with MS. Ninety-one women (60 with MS and 31 controls) were assessed in relatio...

BACKGROUND We sought to describe the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities and of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its relationship to target-organ damage in children with primary hypertension (PH). METHODS Patients included 113 children with untreated PH at a mean age of 14.6 years (range, 5 to 18 years). The control group consisted of 134 healthy children at a mean age of 13.5 years (range, 5 to...

The comorbidity of arterial hypertension (AH), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity leads to the early development atherosclerotic lesions coronary and cerebral vessels, which, in turn, significantly accelerates occurrence disease (CHD), vascular disasters, namely, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke. Comorbidity fully refers concept “metabolic syndrome”. By definition, metabolic syndrome (M...
