Metabolic syndrome (MS) is considered a very important factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in outpatients undergoing secondary prevention of coronary artery disease in the Institute of Cardiology, University Foundation of Cardiology - IC-UFC, as well as to detect excess weight through body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of abdominal obesity in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The final sample was comprised of 151 individuals (aged between 26 and 84 years) whose data were obtained from the first visit in which the following parameters were available: fasting blood tests, blood pressure (BP) measurement, waist circumference (WC) in centimeters, weight and height, gender and age. The NCEP-ATP III criteria were used for the assessment of MS.
64.9% of the sample was comprised of males. The overweight and obesity rates found were 50% and 21.3%, respectively; increased WC was found in 30.8% of the individuals, 20 of whom were men and 25 were women. The prevalence of MS, as diagnosed according to the NCEP-ATP III criteria, was 61.5%, including 54 men and 39 women.
We verified that the prevalence of MS in patients with CVD in the outpatient clinic for secondary prevention of CAD at IC-UFC is high, and so are the prevalences of overweight, obesity and increased WC.
代谢综合征(MS)被认为是心血管疾病(CVD)发展的一个非常重要的因素。
评估在心血管疾病二级预防中心——心脏病学基金会大学研究所(IC-UFC)接受治疗的门诊患者中代谢综合征(MS)的患病率,以及通过体重指数(BMI)和心血管疾病(CVD)患者的腹型肥胖患病率来检测超重情况。
最终样本由 151 名个体组成(年龄在 26 至 84 岁之间),这些个体的数据来源于首次就诊,其中提供了以下参数:空腹血液检查、血压(BP)测量、腰围(WC)以厘米为单位、体重和身高、性别和年龄。采用 NCEP-ATP III 标准评估 MS。
该样本中 64.9%为男性。超重和肥胖的发生率分别为 50%和 21.3%;30.8%的个体 WC 增加,其中 20 名男性和 25 名女性。根据 NCEP-ATP III 标准诊断的 MS 患病率为 61.5%,包括 54 名男性和 39 名女性。
我们发现 IC-UFC 心血管疾病门诊患者中,CVD 患者的 MS 患病率较高,超重、肥胖和 WC 增加的患病率也较高。
