“…Considering the high prevalence of MetS (Zabetian et al, 2007), cardiovascular disease (Hatmi et al, 2007) and diabetes (Esteghamati et al, 2008) in Iranian populations, the objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of various components of MetS in predicting its incidence.…”

Background/Objectives: To determine which component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is the best predictor of its development. Subjects/Methods: In this cohort study, 2279 subjects aged 20-87 years without MetS selected from among the participants of the cross-sectional phase of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) were followed up for development of MetS. Results: After a mean interval of 6.5 years, 462 and 602 new cases of MetS were diagnosed on the basis of the modified Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for development of MetS by ATP III criteria was highest for central obesity in men, 2.8 (2.2-3.7), and for triglycerides (TGs) in women, 2.8 (2.0-4.1). The adjusted odds ratio for the development of MetS by IDF criteria was highest for TGs in both men and women: odds ratio 2.8 (2.2-3.7) and 2.9 (1.9-4.3), respectively. A model that included waist circumference (WC) and TGs or WC and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) predicted MetS similar to a model that included all five MetS components. Conclusion: Screening for the timely prediction of the development of MetS should include measurement of WC, TGs and plasma HDL.

Summary Growing evidence has demonstrated that oxidative stress and increased altered oxygen utilization contribute to atherogenesis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) progression. Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. The objective of this study was to determine antioxidants status in CVD patients. This cross-sectional study was performed on 71 patients clinically diagnosed with CVD and 63 healthy individuals. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level was measured for lipid peroxidation product and erythrocyte SOD and GPx activities as enzymatic antioxidants. The serum levels of vitamins A and E were assayed using HPLC and vitamin C by the photometric method. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was measured using the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) method. The results showed a significant reduction in antioxidant status (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) with a concomitant increase in the concentrations of lipid peroxidation products in CVD patients. There was a significant inverse correlation among TAC, SOD, GPx and vitamin C with MDA. It can be concluded that the antioxidant defense system plays an important role in preventing the development and progression of CVD with the ability to control oxidative stress.
