Assessment of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Among Local Population of National Capital Region

Abstract

Objective: In view of marked accentuations in cardiometabolic diseases in developing countries such as India, we aimed to conduct a cross-sectional study analyzing the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in local population of Ghaziabad.Methods: The study is descriptive, random sample survey, and cross-sectional study. The study was carried out at Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad, on 350 participants between the age group 18-70 years. After taking the informed consent, they were included in the study. The variables recorded were clinical history, all risk factors of cardiovascular disease including blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, blood sugar and serum lipid levels, cigarette use, and dietary habit.Result: Our study shows that the high prevalence of multiple risk factors in a general population with as many as 70% of the participants had metabolic syndrome. Among individually studied groups, obesity was the most common followed by dyslipidemia then diabetes and hypertension and the least prevalent was smoking. Females were more commonly affected than males by dyslipidemia and obesity, probably due to physical inactivity coupled with unhealthy diet and lifestyle.Conclusion: There is the higher prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors among the population making the individuals prone to associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection and their predisposition. Therefore, timely detection of cardiometabolic factors and appropriate interventions may be of prime concern.

Study of Serum Adiponectin and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Diabetic Patients

“…The main reason for the epidemic of diabetes is the escalation of its causes [3]. Rapid sociocultural changes including lifestyle changes, aging, urbanization, changes in dietary habits, and physical inactivity are the major contributing factors [4]. Technical advances and modernization have made it possible to accomplish most of the daily activities in less time with minimum efforts using sophisticated instruments.…”

Alteration in Serum MDA levels is an early predictor in Type 2 Diabetes related complications.

“…13 There are several biochemical processes behind elevation of MDA in T2DM such as leakiness of cell membranes, imbalance of membrane bound enzymes and alteration of surface receptor molecules. 10 Despite of documented role of increased levels of serum MDA in T2DM there is paucity of literature on predicting possible future complications in pre T2DM by timely recognition of fluctuations of serum MDA levels.…”

Circulating Serum Adiponectin and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

“…However, if the oxidative stress becomes chronic, it causes damage to biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids resulting in the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Chronic oxidative stress especially is more harmful to pancreatic β-cells as these cells express lower amount of anti-oxidant enzymes [5]. Researches have revealed a strong correlation of oxidative stress with the insulin resistance and the stages of diabetes.…”
