Abstract

This work was carried out in collaboration between all authors. Author ENA conceived the study, was involved in data collection, laboratory analysis of blood samples and proof reading of the manuscript. Author OAO supervised the research. Author OAA did the statistical analysis, writing of the methodology and discussion while authors OJ and JS were involved in data collection. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

The Relationship Between the Metabolic Syndrome and the Place of Residence in the Local Community on the Example of the Janów Lubelski District in Eastern Poland: A Population-Based Study

“…Hossein-Ali et al 40 and Jahangiry et al 41 found that the incidence of MetS was greater in urban areas than in rural areas. Similarly, a greater prevalence of MetS among urban residents has been observed in the Nepalese population, 42 that of South-West Nigeria 43 and in Ecuador’s 44 and in a meta-analysis conducted in the Middle East as epidemiological studies by Ansarimoghaddam et al 45 However, it is difficult to directly compare the results of our research with the above-cited studies’ results. Enlisted literature uses different criteria for the diagnosis of MetSand includes populations demographically, socially, and culturally different and characterized by different SES.…”

Inflammatory Biomarkers Predictive of Metabolic Syndrome in a Nigerian Population: A Case-Control Study

“…A case-control study of 123 adults with MetS (cases) and age-matched 123 adults without MetS (control) was conducted as previously described. [17] The cases were adults with MetS (from the previous study) while the controls were participants without MetS (from the previous study). [17] Socio-demographic history, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were documented in a structured questionnaire as earlier reported.…”

“…[17] Socio-demographic history, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were documented in a structured questionnaire as earlier reported. [17] The details of the study location, selection of communities and sampling methods have been previously published. [17] Sample size calculation and sampling technique: Using 1 as the ratio of cases to controls, the standard deviation of outcome variable of 9.5, power of 80%, desired level of statistical significance of 1.96, mean value of CRP of the cases (6.6 mg/L) and control group (3.1 mg/L), [16] the minimum calculated sample size for the case-control study was 115 for each arm of the study.…”

“…The measurements of blood pressure (BP) and waist circumference (WC) was done as previously described. [17] After an overnight fast (10-12 hours duration), 10 ml of venous blood was drawn for lipid profile, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), TNF-α, IL 6, and hs-CRP estimation using appropriate specimen bottles such as fluoride oxalate, potassium ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid and plain tubes respectively. After centrifugation, serum and plasma samples were stored at -20 0 C until ready for analysis.…”
