“…6 In Hungary, using ATP III criteria, the prevalence of MS among males and females in the age groups of 20-34, 35-54 and 55-69 years is 12%, 6% and 30%, and 26%, 42 % and 43%, respectively. 7 These results are very similar to prevalence data measured in other developed countries. 6,8,9 The co-incidence of the above mentioned cardiovascular risk factors in complex metabolic failure worsens the life expectancies of affected people.…”

The aim of our study was to evaluate whether any association exists between metabolic syndrome (MS) and ACE I/D and AGT M235T gene polymorphisms in Hungarians as an example of European Caucasian population. Study subjects of our cross-sectional study were recruited from the Hungarian General Practitioners' Morbidity Sentinel Stations Program. The study population (n = 1762) approximates very well the age and sex distribution of the general Hungarian population. MS was defined according to the latest diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Diabetes Federation. The frequency of DD genotype (31.36% vs. 25.42%, p = 0.006) and the frequency of D allele (0.56 vs. 0.51, p = 0.006) were significantly higher in the metabolic group than in the non-metabolic group. The distribution of the AGT M235T polymorphism was similar in each group investigated. Association was shown in the case of patients in whom central obesity was combined with elevated TG and low HDL cholesterol level (p = 0.024 and p = 0.022). It suggests that ACE I/D polymorphism is likely to be involved in lipid metabolism.

“…Some published studies demonstrate a high prevalence (up to 39% in men and 22% in women) of the MS in adult populations in the USA, Mexico, Finland, Hungary and GB [16][17][18][19][20]. In Lithuanian adult population aged 45-72 prevalence of the MS was also high: 27.2% in men and 34.2% in women.…”

“…However, no matter which criteria of the MS are used, the prevalence of MS is high and rising in all western societies, probably as a result of the obesity epidemic (Janszky et al, 2011;Kassi et al, 2011;Szigethy et al, 2012). Thus, further studies exploring the relation of waist circumference thresholds to metabolic risk and cardiovascular outcomes in different populations are encouraged.…”
