“…Furthermore, amounting evidence has demonstrated significant gender differences in the prevalence of MetS in the United States, Europe, and Taiwan [24][25][26], with predominant evidence showing higher MetS prevalence in men than in women [24,25]. In addition, studies have shown that men and women have different risk factors for MetS.…”

Background Lifestyle changes are important for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome (MetS), but studies that focus on gender differences in the lifestyle risk factors of MetS are limited in China. This research aimed to generate a healthy lifestyle index (HLI) to assess the behavioral risk factors of MetS and its components, and to explore the gender differences in HLI score and other influencing factors of MetS. Methods A convenience sample of 532 outpatients were recruited from a general hospital in Changsha, China. The general information and HLI scores [including physical activity (PA), diet, smoking, alcohol use, and body mass index (BMI)] of the subjects were collected through questionnaires, and each patient’s height, weight, waist circumference, and other physical signs were measured. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of MetS and its components. Results The prevalence of MetS was 33.3% for the whole sample (46.3% in males and 23.3% in females). The risk of MetS increased with age, smoking, unhealthy diet, and BMI in males and with age and BMI in females. Our logistic regression analysis showed that lower HLI (male: OR = 0.838,95%CI = 0.757–0.929; female: OR = 0.752, 95%CI = 0.645–0.876) and older age (male: OR = 2.899, 95%CI = 1.446–5.812; female: OR = 4.430, 95%CI = 1.640–11.969) were independent risk factors of MetS, for both sexes. Conclusion Low levels of HLI and older ages were independent risk factors of MetS in both males and females. The association between aging and MetS risk was stronger in females, while the association between unhealthy lifestyles and MetS risk was stronger in males. Our findings reinforced the expected gender differences in MetS prevalence and its risk factors, which has implications for the future development of gender-specific MetS prevention and intervention programs.

“…The prevalence of MetS is at its highest all over the world, with a prevalence of 37.1% in the United States [2], 16.0% in Africa, 21.3% in Asia and 10.5% in Europe [3]. A significant gender difference was also observed in MetS prevalence in several studies from countries such as the US and Europe [4,5]. A recent study in China showed the prevalence of MetS as 33.3% for all participants (46.3% in males and 23.3% in females) [6].…”

This study aimed to assess several indicators of adiposity and their effectiveness in predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS) and identify their cut-off values among general Saudi adults. Consequently, 833 participants (49% male and 51% female) aged 42.2 ± 11.9 years (408 MetS and 425 as controls) were enrolled into this cross-sectional study. Information on demographics, anthropometrics and biochemical results was retrieved from a registry. MetS was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program’s (NCEP III) criteria. Overall, the lipid accumulation product (LAP) and waist–TG index (WTI) had the highest discriminatory ability for MetS (area under the curve (AUC): 0.857 and 0.831), respectively, followed by the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and dysfunctional adiposity index (DAI) (AUC: 0.819 and 0.804), respectively. Based on gender, the LAP and WTI were the best indicators for discriminating MetS and presented the highest Youden index values, with cut-off values of 49.8 (sensitivity 68.5%, specificity 82.4%), and 8.7 (sensitivity 70.7%, specificity 81.9%), respectively, in females and 46.2 (sensitivity 85.6%, specificity 76.3%) and 8.9 (sensitivity 73.9%, specificity 84.8%), respectively, in males. The LAP and WTI performed well in both genders with a superior ability to identify MetS in males and could be used to predict MetS in Saudi adults.

The Shipai cohort for cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and outcome study — Design and preliminary results

Abstract: Our preliminary results revealed a high MetS percentage among young and middle-aged adults in Taiwan, with central obesity being a particularly urgent prevention target. The research design and operational protocol of this cohort study may stimulate more research in the future.
