Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a combination of medical disorders that increase one's risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Little information exists on the prevalence of MS in a general adult population in Taiwan.
We did a cross-sectional survey in a representative sample of 2,359 Chinese adults aged 40 years and over who lived in a metropolitan city, Taiwan in 2004-05. MS was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for Asians.
The prevalence of MetS was 35.32% and 43.23% in men aged 40-64 years and 65 years and over, respectively, and 24.19% and 51.82% in women aged 40-64 years and 65 years and over. Older age, postmenopausal status, higher body mass index, current smoking, low education attainment, low household income, no alcohol consumption, lower level of occupation physical activity, and a family history of diabetes were associated with increased odds of MetS.
MetS was present in more than 30% of the Taiwan adult population aged 40 years and over in a metropolitan area; there were substantial variations by age and body mass index groups.
代谢综合征(MS)是多种疾病的组合,会增加患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险。关于台湾一般成年人群中MS的患病率,相关信息较少。
我们于2004年至2005年对居住在台湾一个大城市的2359名40岁及以上的中国成年人代表性样本进行了横断面调查。MS根据为亚洲人修改的成人治疗小组III标准进行定义。
40至64岁男性和65岁及以上男性的代谢综合征患病率分别为35.32%和43.23%,40至64岁女性和65岁及以上女性的患病率分别为24.19%和51.82%。年龄较大、绝经后状态、较高的体重指数、当前吸烟、低教育程度、低家庭收入、不饮酒、较低水平的职业体力活动以及糖尿病家族史与代谢综合征的几率增加相关。
在台湾一个大城市中,40岁及以上的成年人群中超过30%存在代谢综合征;按年龄和体重指数组存在显著差异。
