Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Risk of developing cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is two times more and type 2 diabetes mellitus is four times more in people with metabolic syndrome as compared to subjects without metabolic syndrome. A prospective crosssectional study was undertaken to explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in subjects with abdominal obesity in Rohilkhand region of U.P. attending Rohilkhand medical college (RMCH), Bareilly. Material and methods: The prevalence of Metabolic syndromewas assessed in a group of 100 patients having abdominal obesity (waist circumference >90 cm in male and >80 cm in female) attending outpatient department of RMCH, Bareilly. We have noted the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and the presence components of metabolic syndrome in the subjects taken for the study. For all subjects the following parameters were noted: age, sex, blood pressure, waist circumference, blood sample for blood sugar and lipid profile. Blood pressure was taken in left arm in sitting posture by a mercury sphygmomanometer. Blood samples for lipid profile and fasting glucose were taken after 12 hrs overnight fast. Results: Among 100 patients selected for the study; 81 patients were identified as having the metabolic syndrome out of which 28.4% were male and 71.6% were female. Out of 100 cases, 32% were non-diabetic, 23% were pre diabetic, 45% were diabetic, and 14% were non-hypertensive, 30% were pre-hypertensive, 58% were hypertensive, and 27% had total cholesterol > 200, 65% had triglyceride ≥ 150, and 56% had deranged HDL (HDL <40 in male and <50 in female). Conclusion: The metabolic syndrome is a growing epidemic. Every 3rd OPD patient has abdominal obesity. Dyslipidemia is most common accompaniment followed by hypertension. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome rises with age and is higher in women than in men. In our population the most prevalent component of metabolic syndrome is abdominal obesity.
