To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome and vertigo, we measured waist circumference, plasma glucose, triglycerides and blood pressure in 333 subjects aged 20-79 years with vertigo. We found overall metabolic syndrome prevalence defined by Japanese diagnostic criteria to be 13.2%, similar to that in other national surveys by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The 6-fold higher prevalence in men over women exceeded that of other reports, however. The highest frequency was in vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) disorders, suggesting that conditions such as VBI in men with vertigo could involve metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for vertigo incidence.
为探究代谢综合征与眩晕之间的关系，我们对333名年龄在20至79岁之间的眩晕患者测量了腰围、血糖、甘油三酯和血压。我们发现，按照日本诊断标准定义的总体代谢综合征患病率为13.2%，这与日本厚生劳动省进行的其他全国性调查结果相似。然而，男性患病率比女性高6倍，这一比例超过了其他报告中的数据。最高发于椎基底动脉供血不足（VBI）疾病，这表明患有眩晕的男性中的VBI等病症可能涉及代谢综合征，将其作为眩晕发病的一个风险因素。
