To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its risk factors in various ethnic groups in Istanbul, Turkey.
Study participants were aged ≥ 20 years. Risk factor components for metabolic syndrome were measured and its presence was determined in study participants.
The study included 254 Greeks, 273 West Thracians, 275 East Turkistanis and 304 Armenians. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly different between groups (Greeks, 19.3%; West Thracians, 24.9%; East Turkistanis, 15.3%; Armenians, 20.4%), and increased with age in all groups. Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were found mainly in Greeks (females, 64.5%; males, 61.6%) and West Thracians (females, 75.8%; males, 73.1%). Among East Turkistanis, HDL-C and triglyceride levels were significantly higher compared with the other ethnic groups. Hypertension was the most frequently encountered component of metabolic syndrome in East Turkistanis.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome varied between ethnic groups living in the same geographical location. In Turkey, metabolic syndrome is common. It is important to determine differences between ethnic groups, as this will assist in identifying those at higher risk of developing coronary heart disease.
确定土耳其伊斯坦布尔不同种族人群中代谢综合征及其危险因素的患病率。
研究参与者年龄≥20岁。测量代谢综合征的危险因素成分,并确定研究参与者中是否存在该综合征。
该研究纳入了254名希腊人、273名西色雷斯人、275名东突厥人以及304名亚美尼亚人。各组间代谢综合征的患病率存在显著差异(希腊人,19.3%;西色雷斯人,24.9%;东突厥人,15.3%;亚美尼亚人,20.4%),且在所有组中均随年龄增长而升高。高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)水平低主要见于希腊人(女性,64.5%;男性,61.6%)和西色雷斯人(女性,75.8%;男性,73.1%)。在东突厥人中,HDL-C和甘油三酯水平显著高于其他种族人群。高血压是东突厥人中代谢综合征最常见的组成部分。
生活在同一地理位置的不同种族人群中代谢综合征的患病率有所不同。在土耳其,代谢综合征很常见。确定种族间的差异很重要,因为这将有助于识别患冠心病风险较高的人群。
