Metabolic syndrome in older women

BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is currently a real threat due to association with major chronic non-communicable diseases. Abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia contribute significantly to cardiometabolic risk in late postmenopausal women.AIM: to assess the frequency of deficiency and insufficiency of 25(OH)D in late postmenopausal residents of Yekaterinburg; to establish associations of 25(OH)D serum concentration with components of metabolic syndrome and severity of menopausal symptoms.MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the period from October 2018 to March 2020 145 independently living late postmenopausal residents of Yekaterinburg were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. The following scope of data regarding each of the subjects was collected: complaints and anamnesis, anthropometry, diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, assessment of 25 (OH)D level by the ECLIA method, LDL-C, HDL-C levels, serum TG by the enzymatic colorimetric method, as well as the evaluation of the modified menopausal index.RESULTS: Adequate serum level of 25(OH)D was detected in 20.6% patients, insufficiency and deficiency were found in 33.1 and 46.2% cases, respectively. In patients with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, the most frequent metabolic syndrome components were arterial hypertension (p=0.02; OR 3.5; CI 1.2–10.6) and abdominal obesity (p=0.03; OR 2.8; CI 1.1–7.2). Vitamin D deficient subjects had significantly lower serum HDL and increased TG levels (p=0.04), compared to the adequately provided 25(OH)D patients. Vitamin D levels were not associated with the severity of menopausal symptoms in late postmenopausal women. Regular daily intake of 400–2000 IU of colecalciferol contributed to higher serum 25(OH)D level.CONCLUSION: a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among postmenopausal women of Yekaterinburg was detected. Diagnosis and correction of vitamin D levels are necessary for timely reduction of cardiometabolic risk, primarily due to the potential pleiotropic effects of D-hormone on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Patterns of clinical presentation of climacteric syndrome and total body composition in women with menopausal metabolic syndrome

Introduction. Modern gynecological endocrinology widely discusses various disorders accompanying the onset of menopause. Metabolic disorders are one of the leading risk factors for the development of ischemic heart disease and vascular dystonia in menopausal women. That is why the drugs prescribed as part of menopausal hormone therapy are contraindicated for patients with severe metabolic disorders and predisposition to thrombosis. Women with a normal body mass index may develop the menopausal metabolic syndrome, since its presentations largely depend on the total body composition and the specific gravity of visceral adipose tissue.Aim. To assess the patterns of clinical presentation of menopause in women with metabolic menopausal syndrome.Materials and methods. In the furtherance of that aim, we examined 184 women who were in menopause 1 to 5 years at the age of 52 to 57 years (average age 54.2 ± 0.5 years). Of these, 87 were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome – they were included in the main group. The comparison group included 97 menopausal women without metabolic disorders.Results and discussion. We assessed the severity of clinical presentations and the total body composition of the patients in the selected groups. It has been established that the body mass index cannot serve as a criterion for evaluation of metabolic processes, despite the sufficient simplicity of its computation.Conclusions. The authentic view of the risks of metabolic disorders in menopausal women requires the study of total body composition.

Objective. To study the efficacy of statins in the treatment of morphea in patients with metabolic syndrome and to study the dynamics of inflammatory markers on the background of atorvastatin use.Materials and methods. Atorvastatin at a dose of 20 mg per day was included in the treatment of patients with morphea asociated with metabolic syndrome. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after 3, 6, and 9–12 months on the basis of the dynamics of the modified localized scleroderma skin severity index mLoSSI, changes of laboratory markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)), which was evaluated in 27 patients.Results. In patients whose treatment complex included atorvastatin, there was a persistent clinical improvement, which was manifested in a more pronounced decrease in the modified severity index of morphea mLoSSI relative to the control group after 6, 9-12 months of taking the drug, a marked decrease in the number of recurrences of the disease. When taking atorvastatin in patients with morphea with concomitant metabolic syndrome, there was a statistically significant decrease in the levels of inflammatory markers: CRP and TNF-alpha (p < 0.05).Conclusion. The use of Atorvastatin at a dose of 20 mg per day in patients with limited scleroderma in combination with metabolic syndrome showed pronounced clinical efficacy, reduced the number of recurrences of the disease. There was a decrease in the levels of proinflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-alpha) when taking atorvastatin in patients with morphea associated with metabolic syndrome. The use of atorvastatin in patients with morphea and concomitant metabolic syndrome is effective in preventing relapses of morphea, reducing its severity.
