This study determined the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in open fire stoves and improved cookstoves users (ICS) in the rural Peruvian Andes. Participants answered a socioeconomic questionnaire, one 24-hour food recall and underwent a physical examination. We analysed data from 385 participants, 190 (112 women and 78 men) were ICS users and 195 (123 women and 72 men) were open fire stove users. The prevalence of MetS was 21.3, 26.4% in women and 13.3% in men. We found no statistically significant association between the type of cookstove and MetS. Body mass index and altitude were important determinants of MetS. Research on cardiometabolic diseases and open fire stove use contributes to understanding the effect of household air pollution on health in high altitude populations.
本研究旨在确定秘鲁安第斯农村地区使用明火炉灶和改良型炉灶（ICS）的人群中代谢综合征（MetS）的患病率。参与者回答了一份社会经济调查问卷、一份 24 小时食物回忆和接受了身体检查。我们分析了 385 名参与者的数据，其中 190 名（112 名女性和 78 名男性）为 ICS 用户，195 名（123 名女性和 72 名男性）为明火炉灶用户。MetS 的患病率为 21.3%，女性为 26.4%，男性为 13.3%。我们没有发现炉灶类型与 MetS 之间存在统计学显著关联。体重指数和海拔是 MetS 的重要决定因素。关于心血管代谢疾病和明火炉灶使用的研究有助于了解家庭空气污染对高海拔人群健康的影响。
