Metabolic syndrome and its individual components among people with type 2 diabetes: Prevalence, gender differences and its association with ischemic heart disease

Abstract: Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is common among people with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to assess the proportion of MS and its individual components among type 2 diabetic adults, to stratify these by gender and to determine their association with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Method: A cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted in public and private sector clinics in Karachi, Pakistan. A pretested structured questionnaire and medical records were used to collect information from 889… Show more

“…According to the harmonized criteria, female sex was significantly associated with MetS and is 2.3 times (CI: 1.5–4.9, P-value≤0.001) more likely to have MetS compared to male sex. This finding is also supported by other studies 7,26. The reason might be more weight, less activity, and higher prevalence of dyslipidemia in women 27.…”

“…The frequencies of MS (88.2%, 87.4%, and 86.3%) obtained in the study were slightly increased but comparable to other frequencies ranging 70.0% to 91.9% reported from Pakistan [7][8][9][10] ; however greatly differed with the frequencies reported from India, Ghana and Nigeria. [13][14][15] The ATP III, IDF and WHO criteria determined nearly equivalent frequencies and propose that these criteria can equally be used to measure frequency of MS in type 2 diabetics.…”

“…Likewise present study, other studies also reported obesity as the most frequently occurring MS component with gender association. 10,12 Obesity was found in more than 90% patients by IDF & WHO criteria; but was markedly reduced upto 67% patients by ATP III criteria. This significant difference seems because of ATP III criteria that do not recommend ethnic specific values for waist circumference.…”
