To evaluate the prevalence and the individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Jordanian adults.
In this cross sectional study, 630 adult subjects (308 men and 322 women) aged between 20-70 years were recruited from the clinics at the King Hussein Medical Center. The diagnosis of MetS was made according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria-2005. Blood samples were collected after 10-12 hours overnight fasting and serum was obtained for biochemical analysis.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to IDF criteria was 51% (46.4% in men and 55.3% in women). Prevalence of increased waist circumference in the total sample was 71.6%, 46% for high blood pressure, 42.4% for elevated fasting blood glucose, 43.5% for low high density lipoprotein, and 50.2% for hypertriglyceridemia.
The prevalence and individual components of MetS in Jordan were high. Screening of MetS is needed at national level to reduce the incidence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
评估约旦成年人代谢综合征(MetS)的患病率及其各个组成部分。
在这项横断面研究中,从侯赛因国王医疗中心的诊所招募了630名年龄在20至70岁之间的成年受试者(308名男性和322名女性)。根据国际糖尿病联盟(IDF)2005年标准诊断代谢综合征。在禁食10至12小时后采集血样,并获取血清进行生化分析。
根据IDF标准,代谢综合征的患病率为51%(男性为46.4%,女性为55.3%)。总样本中腰围增加的患病率为71.6%,高血压为46%,空腹血糖升高为42.4%,高密度脂蛋白降低为43.5%,高甘油三酯血症为50.2%。
约旦代谢综合征的患病率及其各个组成部分都很高。需要在国家层面进行代谢综合征筛查,以降低2型糖尿病(T2DM)和心血管疾病(CVD)的发病率。
