To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and metabolic components and their associated factors and component combinations according to hypertension status in Tibetans living at high altitude. Multistage sampling of 1473 participants (799 hypertensive patients and 674 normotensive subjects). MS prevalence and the number of metabolic components ≥ 3 were significantly higher in the hypertensive than normotensives. In hypertensive patients, the most common component was central obesity and it combined with: high blood pressure, in those with 2 risk factors, plus fasting hyperglycemia, in those with 3 risk factors, and high triglyceride, in those with 4 risk factors. In normotensive subjects, the most common single component was low high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, and most component combination included central obesity and hyperglycemia in those with 2 risk factors, plus high blood pressure in those with 3 risk factors, and high triglycerides in those with 4 risk factors. Body mass index and female both were associated with increased possibilities of MS in hypertensive and normotensive participants. Low incoming, and high educational levels were associated with an elevated probability of MS in normotensive Tibetans also. The priority of prevention from cardiovascular diseases by targeting metabolic components in the hypertensive was different from normotensives. Different MS components had various lifestyle and socioeconomic factors.

Dynamic reactive power compensation equipment typically requires a fast response to output the necessary reactive power. The term"dynamic response time of reactive power"is often used but has never been clearly defined. This paper summarizes the reactive power calculations under different definitions and algorithms and considers these calculations in terms of signal processing to simulate and analyze the step response. This paper subsequently focuses on the widely used instantaneous reactive power algorithm and finally concludes that the dynamic reactive power response time closely depends on the reactive power calculation method itself. The single-phase instantaneous reactive power algorithm has the fastest response time. The reactive power response time of dynamic reactive devices in power systems is a minimum of a quarter of one cycle time for the well-known and widely used single-phase reactive power algorithms.
