“…Despite the increase in MetS over the ten-year period, no association between MetS and age was established. This was inconsistent with other research findings among adults (23,28), but consistent with the results of de Luis and co-authors for another elderly population (29). The prevalence of MetS was 39.6% among the women in 2004 and increased to 56.3% in 2014 compared to 93.4% and 100.0% among men respectively in this study.…”

Objective: This study aimed to provide evidence on the prevalence of the metabolic factors contributing to Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) among elderly people in South Africa. Design: An ethically approved, cross-sectional survey study conducted in a cohort of an elderly population in 2004 with follow-up in 2014. Setting: An elderly day-care center. Participants: A total of 170 men and women were randomly selected for the baseline survey (2004). Only 105 of the subjects included in the baseline study were available for the follow-up study (2014). The sample consisted of 83.2% (n=89) women and 16.8% (n=16) men with a mean±SD age of 95.8±6.2 and 71.8±5.7 years in 2014 and 2004 respectively. Measurements: Dietary intakes (24-hour recall questionnaire) were completed for a period of three non-consecutive days, including one weekend day and two week days. Other measurements included waist circumference (WC), blood pressure and fasting (>8 hours) venous blood samples that were analyzed for total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), tryglicerides (TGs) and glucose. The Friedewald formula was used to calculate LDL-C (16). Results: The prevalence of MetS was significantly (p=0.000) higher in 2014 (63.4%) compared to 2004 (48.8%). The most prominent risk factors were central obesity (85.9%), low serum HDL-C (71.0%) and high serum TG (68.1%) levels in 2004 compared to central obesity (82.5%), low serum HDL-C (94.3%) and hyperglycaemia (48.1%) in 2014. Conclusions: MetS is highly prevalent and rapidly increasing among these elderly people. A need for identifying preventative and treatment strategies to increase wellness and reduce morbidity has been highlighted by these results.

“…MS has become a global health problem and a substantial economic burden in developing and developed countries. The prevalence of the MS ranges between 20 and 25% and this prevalence increases with ageing . Environmental factors such as low physical activity and unhealthy diet are strong determinants of the MS.…”

“…The metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by the clustering of several metabolic disorders such as increased body weight, insulin resistance, elevated plasma triglyceride levels, low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high blood pressure, and altered glucose homeostasis. The prevalence of the MS ranges between 20% and 25% and this prevalence increases with ageing . Environmental factors such as low physical activity and unhealthy diet are strong determinants of the MS.…”
