Does diagnosis of metabolic syndrome predict the likelihood of peripheral arterial disease as defined by a low ankle-brachial index?

Abstract

Screening of participants with MS does not improve the identification of abnormal ABI provided by diabetes.

Correlation of ankle-brachial index and peripheral artery disease with the status of body fat deposition and metabolic syndrome in asymptomatic premenopausal women

“…However and similar to the study by López-Suárez et al [9], when additionally adjusted by the presence of hyperglycemia (FPG a The multivariate adjusted model is adjusted for the age, LDL-C and the components of metabolic syndrome (FPG, HDL-C, TG, WC and the presence of hypertension). above 100 mg/dL), the inverse association between MetS and ABI lost statistical significance.…”

“…In line with this suggestion, the present study demonstrated that individual components of MetS including, elevated blood pressure and raised FPG are independently associated with lower readings of ABI and a significant association between lower ABI and MetS as a single entity was observed. However, additional screening of the MetS status may not improve the detection of asymptomatic PAD beyond the risk imposed by hyperglycemia and diabetes [9].…”

“…In light of the increased cardiovascular risk afflicted by both PAD and MetS, researchers have investigated the association of the duo in several longitudinal and cross-sectional studies [8,9]. Currently, the determinants of relationship between asymptomatic PAD (as characterized by ABI values <0.9 in generally healthy subjects without claudication or other related symptoms) and MetS as the accelerators of subclinical atherosclerosis in general disease-free population is unclear.…”

Metabolic syndrome for sub-Saharan Africans diabetes with peripheral arterial disease: a case-control study

“…Several studies found an association of PAD with MS according to the WHO criteria [19,20] unlike the study by Wong et al [21]. Concerning the association of PAD with MS according to NCEP-ATPIII, several studies found an association and others did not [19,22-24]. The study by Larsson et al goes in the direction of ours, especially since it is cohort study [19].…”

“…The study by Larsson et al goes in the direction of ours, especially since it is cohort study [19]. The risk of having PAD in another study was higher with the five elements of the MS combined [22], a study in Spain showed a 14 times higher risk of having a PAD in the presence of MS [23]. On the criteria of the AHA / NHLBI, one study found no association with PAD [25].…”
