“…So far, the vast majority of studies have involved osteoporotic and elderly persons [14][15][16][17]. Also, to the best of our knowledge, the numbers studied in each study have not exceeded 300 subjects apart from the PolSenior project (and perhaps the study by Hoszowski et al) [14,15].…”

Introduction: Vitamin D is vital in the regulation of the calcium-phosphate metabolism, has a direct impact on the musculoskeletal system, and also affects numerous other systems. Widespread vitamin D deficiency and its detrimental effect on health have been reported globally. Data concerning vitamin D status in Polish adult population is scarce. Material and methods: Ambulatory patients of an outpatient clinic in Gdańsk were included in the study. Serum concentrations of 25(OH) D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium and phosphorus were determined. In a questionnaire declared UVB exposure, dietary vitamin D and calcium intake, and health status of the subjects were assessed. Non-and parametric tests, logistic regression and population attributable risk were applied in data analysis. Results: 448 adults were examined from February to mid-April 2012, 305 women and 143 men, aged 19 to 86 (mean 46.3 ± 14.9 years). Mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was 14.3 ± 6.6 ng/mL. 84.4% of subjects were vitamin D deficient (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL); 13.2% presented insufficient (20-30 ng/mL), and 2.5% (or 11 subjects) sufficient 25(OH)D concentrations. Significantly higher 25(OH)D concentrations were found in subjects who reported more UVB exposure, supplemented vitamin D orally and those who declared more physical activity. 21% of subjects had elevated serum PTH concentration (i.e. > 62 pg/mL); mean parathormone was 48.6 ± 25.2 pg/mL.

“…However, despite this increased risk, elderly patients have the lowest rate of BP control [82,83]. This has been recently confirmed in the PolSenior registry in patients aged > 65 years, which showed that elevated blood pressure exists in 76% of patients (72% of men and 78% of women), and in only 25% of patients is well controlled [83].…”

“…Compared with younger patients with hypertension, the prevalence of target organ damage and clinical CVD is significantly higher in the elderly, as is the incidence of new CV events [76]. However, despite this increased risk, elderly patients have the lowest rate of BP control [82,83]. This has been recently confirmed in the PolSenior registry in patients aged > 65 years, which showed that elevated blood pressure exists in 76% of patients (72% of men and 78% of women), and in only 25% of patients is well controlled [83].…”

“…According to the WOBASZ study the frequency of elevated TC is at the level of 67% in males and 64% in females, respectively; the elevated LDL-C level is 60% in men and 55% in women; hypertriglyceridaemia is 32% in males and 20% in females, and decreased HDL-C level is 15% in men and 17% in women [18]. In the POLSENIOR study hypercholesterolaemia was noticed in 62% of patients above ≥ 65 years of age (56% in males and 66% in females) [19]. In patients with MetS abdominal obesity is frequently accompanied by lipid metabolism disorders, insulin resistance, and elevated blood pressure.…”

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome predicts the development of CVD. Lipid abnormalities probably have an important influence on the increase of cardiovascular death risk. The SCORE chart includes only total cholesterol level, which may be inadequate. The aim of our study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with metabolic syndrome according to the cardiovascular risk calculated on the basis of the SCORE chart. Material and methods: The study participants comprised 974 patients with metabolic syndrome. The 10-year death risk of cardiovascular disease was calculated on the basis of SCORE chart in all patients. The study group was divided in three subgroups depending on the risk level calculated by SCORE scale. Results: There was a significantly higher level of LDL-C fraction in the subgroup of very high CV risk in comparison to the group of medium and high CV risk. The level of non-HDL-C was also significantly higher in the group with SCORE ≥ 10 compared to the remaining subgroups of medium and high CV risk. Conclusions. Increased CV risk in this group of patients may be associated not only with higher TC level, but also the other lipid fractions. The assessment of the CV risk on the basis of the SCORE chart, which includes only TC level, may be inadequate. A modification of the SCORE chart for the European population should be considered (inclusion of LDL-C level, or in selected cases non-HDL-C level instead of TC level).
