“…These percentages are important because smoking habit is a major modifiable risk factor for developing non-communicable diseases 2 , including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) 7 . A growing body of evidence suggests that before the onset of these two diseases, cigarette smoking favors the appearance of metabolic syndrome (MS) 8,9 high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, obesity and high blood glucose [10][11][12][13][14] . Main contributors for this association include the presence of dyslipidemia and central obesity 15 .…”

Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that cigarette smoking can cause the onset of metabolic syndrome prior to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between smoking habit and metabolic syndrome components in an adult population from Maracaibo city, Venezuela. Methods: The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with random and multi-stage sampling. In this sub-study, 2212 adults from both genders were selected. On the basis of their medical background, they were classified as smokers, non-smokers and former smokers. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to Harmonizing 2009 criteria, using population-specific abdominal circumference cut-off points. The association between risk factors was evaluated using a logistic regression model. Results: In the studied population, 14.8% were smokers, 15.4% were former smokers. In the multivariate analysis, the presence of metabolic syndrome (smokers: OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.11–2.14; p=0.010) and its components were related to cigarette smoking, with the exception of hyperglycemia. High blood pressure was inversely associated with current smoking status (smokers: OR, 0.70 (0.51–0.95); p=0.025). Conclusion: Cigarette smoking represents a related factor with metabolic syndrome, being associated with low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, increased abdominal circumference and elevated triacylglyceride levels. Former smokers did not present a greater risk for developing this metabolic disease when compared to non-smokers. The effect of avoiding this habit should be evaluated in future studies in our population.

“…Literatürdeki çalışmalarda bu sonuçtan farklı olarak sigara kullanımının MetS sıklığını etkilediği belirtilmiştir. [30,46,47] Bu çalışmanın sonucunun farklı olmasının nedeninin sigara kullanım oranlarının diğer çalışmalardan daha düşük olmasından kaynaklanabileceği düşünülmektedir.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı ofis çalışanlarında metabolik sendrom sıklığını belirlemektir. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tipteki araştırmanın evrenini Ocak 2017-Nisan 2017 arasında İstanbul'da özel bir banka ve şirketin ofis çalışanları oluşturdu (n=1200). Bu evrenden anlamlılık düzeyi 0.05, %95 güven aralığında, örneklem sayısı hesaplandı (n=344), ancak örneklemin %40.6'sına ulaşıldı (n=140). Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve NCEP-ATP III tanı kriterleri ile toplandı. NCEP-ATP III tanı kriterleri için çalışanların kan basıncı, boy, kilo, bel çevresi ölçümleri yapıldı, trigliserid düzeyi, HDL ve açlık kan şekeri değerini belirlemek için işyeri sağlık ofisinde kanları alındı. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler (sayı, yüzde, ortalama), ki kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışanların %50'si kadın, %62.1'i evli, %52.9'unun eğitim düzeyi lisans ve üzeri, %22.9'unun kronik hastalığı bulunmakta, %36.4'ü sigara kullanmakta, %42.9'u normal kilolu, %36.4'ü ise fazla kiloludur. Abdominal obezite oranı kadınlarda %45.7, erkeklerde %28.6'di. Tüm çalışanlarda MetS sıklığı %18.6 olarak bulundu. Kadınlarda bu oran %17.1, erkeklerde ise %20'di. MetS sıklığı evlilerde, kronik hastalığı olanlarda, 41-60 yaş arası olanlarda, masa başında günlük çalışma süresi sekiz saat üzeri olanlarda istatiksel olarak anlamlı daha yüksekti (p<.05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak ofis çalışanlarında metabolik sendromun önlenmesi ve erken tanısı için işyerlerinde sağlığı geliştirme programları oluşturulmalıdır.
