Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Gallstone disease (GD) is a common condition worldwide. Gallstone disease (GSD) is a chronic disease that consumes a lot of economic and medical resources. Because of its high prevalence and elevated health costs, it is an important condition for which further research is needed. The aim of this study is to establish if there is an association between the presence of metabolic syndrome and the development of gallstone disease. If the risk factors of GSD can be identified, more interventions can be introduced earlier to prevent the disease. Methods: A cross sectional study conducted at Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh on a sample size of 100 cases and 100 controls. The Body Mass Index, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL-Cholesterol levels of the patients were tested. National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for Asian subjects, was used for estimating the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome. Results: 27% of the cases and 15% of the controls were found to have Metabolic Syndrome. Out of the cases found to be affected with Metabolic Syndrome 81.42% were females and 18.52% were males. Conclusion: Metabolic Syndrome can be considered to be associated with Gallstone disease and can be used as a predictor of Gallstone disease. It can be used as a screening tool.
