Prevalence and Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome: A Prospective Study on Cardiovascular Health

Abstract

Background and objectives: This article highlights the relationship between metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, providing a comprehensive overview of its risk factors and prevalence. Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a cluster of interconnected risk factors, significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Materials and methods: This study, conducted over a one-year period, involved 117 patients aged between 30 and 79 years old. Various parameters were analyzed, such as gender, age, education level, provenance from urban or rural environment, smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary aspects, physical activity, and their contribution to the appearance of metabolic syndrome. Central adiposity and high blood pressure emerged as prominent elements of the condition. Results: The findings underscore the importance of a healthy lifestyle in the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome. Encouraging regular physical activity, maintaining a balanced diet, rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoiding harmful behaviors, such as smoking or alcohol consumption, are essential in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and its associated cardiovascular complications. Conclusions: The study highlights the need for public health initiatives, as well as individualized preventive strategies to combat the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Through promoting awareness of its risk factors and implementing effective interventions, healthcare professionals can contribute to better cardiovascular health worldwide. Further research in this area will continue to enhance our understanding of metabolic syndrome and refine preventive and therapeutic approaches for its management.

Comparison of the Clinical Utility of Two Insulin Resistance Indices: IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore in Diagnosing Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Complications in Children Based on the Results Obtained for the Polish Population

“…Thus, IR was not always a recognized component of MS. Currently, most authors agree that the incidence of MS is increasing worldwide, and affects 20-30% of the population in developing countries, mainly due to the increasing incidence of obesity and IR [44,45]. This also applies to children, including those born small for gestational age.…”

Метаболизмдік Синдромы Бар Адамдардың Когнитивтік Және Психосоматикалық Бұзылыстарымен Байланысы: Әдеби Шолу

“…Мариус және т.б. зерттеулерінде МС-ның адам жынысына қарай эпидемиологиясы 2022 жылдың қаңтары -2023 жылдың ақпаны арасында 63,3% құрағаны және әйелдермен салыстырғанда ерлерде бұл синдромның жиі кездесетіні анықталды [11,12]. Когнитивтік және психосоматикалық бұзылыстар әлемдегі мүгедектіктің негізгі себептерінің бірі болып табылады және жалпы популяциядағы МС-ның қаупін екі есе арттырды [14,15].…”

Relationship between Life’s Essential 8 and metabolic syndrome among older Americans (NHANES, 2007–2010): navigating biological aging and inflammation

“…According to the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), over one third adults exhibit MetS, and the incidence rate among middle-aged and elderly people aged 40 and older is as high as 40% ( 2 ). MetS is particularly detrimental to middle-aged and elderly people, and some studies mainly composed of middle-aged and elderly people have suggested that MetS is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk and mortality ( 2 , 3 ). At present, there are no MetS-targeting medications ( 3 ).…”

“…MetS is particularly detrimental to middle-aged and elderly people, and some studies mainly composed of middle-aged and elderly people have suggested that MetS is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk and mortality ( 2 , 3 ). At present, there are no MetS-targeting medications ( 3 ). Considering that MetS is closely correlated with cardiovascular disease ( 4 ), proper MetS management can potentially enhance cardio vascular health (CVH).…”
