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: metabolic syndrome (mets) is a complex clustering cardiovascular risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. it has been a growing health problem in iranian adults in recent decade. the objective of this article was to review the prevalence of mets and the corresponding risk factors among iranian adults.methods: we conducted a systematic review t...

Objectives: Shoulder pain is a common cause of disability. There are few studies in the literature linking Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) with shoulder and pathologies. This study aims to determine frequency metabolic syndrome patients pain; whether there was difference between two groups terms severity characteristics pain. 
 Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, target populatio...

background: metabolic syndrome (mets) is the major risk factor for development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in different populations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of mets among iranian population. methods: thirty-four cross-sectional studies were analyzed with a sample of 83227 people. national and international english electronic databases (pubmed, goo...

background: coronary angiography, albeit a safe procedure, may cause serious complications especially in patients with left main stenosis (lms). this study was designed to investigate the efficacy of workload achieved by exercise tolerance test (ett) in predicting lms in candidates for coronary angiography. methods: a total of 743 patients with a positive ett who subsequently underwent cardiac ...

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide in both developing and developed countries. Experimental and clinical studies have revealed that MetS plays an important role in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which leads to end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidence also suggests that CKD may actually cause MetS since the kidney is an important organ of gluc...

BACKGROUND Visceral adiposity is increased in those with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and atherosclerotic disease burden. In this study we evaluate for associations between intra-thoracic fat volume (ITFV) and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with MetS. METHODS Ninety-four patients with MetS, MI or both were identified from a cardiovascular CMR clinical registry. MetS was defined in accord...

conclusions there is a high prevalence of mets in the iranian adult population, with large variations based on different measurement criteria. therefore, prevention and control of mets should be considered a priority. objectives this study systematically reviewed the findings of all available studies on mets in the adult iranian population and estimated the overall prevalence of mets in this po...

BACKGROUND The relationship of alteration of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with dementia remains unclear. The purpose of study was to evaluate the association between dynamic change in MetS status around a 5-year period and dementia. METHODS AND RESULTS The cohort study was conducted from the Taiwanese Survey on Prevalence of Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, and Hyperlipidemia in 2002, with follow-up...

OBJECTIVES It remains unclear whether non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a cause or a consequence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We proposed a simplified Bayesian network (BN) and attempted to confirm their reciprocal causality. SETTING Bidirectional longitudinal cohorts (subcohorts A and B) were designed and followed up from 2005 to 2011 based on a large-scale health check-up in a C...
