“…Therefore, the differences may in part be due Our results demonstrate a remarkably higher prevalence of MS in Turkish population when using the ATP III definition. The prevalence is higher when compared with Americans, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolians (Ford et al, 2002;Kim et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004;Duc Son et al, 2005;Enkhmaaa et al, 2005;Thomas et al, 2005) and comparable to that of Mexican Americans, South Asians and Persians (Ford et al, 2002;Azizi et al, 2003;Ramachandran et al, 2003;Gupta et al, 2004). Turkish population has one of the world's highest prevalences of MS, comparable to that of the South Asians.…”

“…In some countries, MS is more prevalent among women (Ramachandran et al, 2003;Gupta et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004), in others, the prevalence of the syndrome is similar in two sexes (Chuang et al, 2004;Duc Son et al, 2005;Enkhmaaa et al, 2005;Thomas et al, 2005). The prevalence differed little among men and women in the USA.…”

“…Although obesity and level of physical activity contribute significantly to the frequency of MS, other factors, such as a genetic predisposition, may play a role (Abate, 2000;Thomas et al, 2000;Das, 2002). Studies performed in various ethnic groups have also shown that the frequency of individual components of MS can vary between countries (Ford et al, 2002;Onat and Sansoy, 2002;Azizi et al, 2003;Ramachandran et al, 2003;Chuang et al, 2004;Gupta et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004;Duc Son et al, 2005;Enkhmaaa et al, 2005;Thomas et al, 2005).…”

Objective: To determine prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in a sample representing Turkish population using United States Adult Treatment Panel-3 guidelines. Design: The study included random samples from both urban and rural populations in the seven geographical regions of Turkey. The population for this analysis were 2108 men (1372 in urban and 736 in rural areas) and 2151 women (1423 in urban and 728 in rural areas) with a mean age of 40.9714.9 years (range 20-90). Results: The prevalence of the MS diagnosed using the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria was 33.9% (1442 of 4259) and differed significantly in men (28%) and women (39.6%). The prevalence of syndrome increased with age in men, from 10.7% in subjects aged 20-29 years to 49% in those aged over 70 years. The prevalence increased with age in women, from 9.6% in subjects aged 20-29 years to 74.6% in those aged 60-69 years, and decreased to 68.6% in those over 70 years of age. The prevalence of the syndrome was similar in urban (33.8%) and rural (33.9%) population. We found 26.8, 26.4, 19.3, 10.9 and 3.6% of the population had at least 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 components, respectively. We found 57.2, 32.3 and 10.6% of the subjects with MS had 3, 4 and 5 components, respectively.

Objective: To assess the available data on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in Latin-American countries. Design: Systematic review. Searches were carried out in PubMed, ISIWeb, SCielo and Redalyc, using 'metabolic syndrome x' and 'prevalence' as keywords for titles and/or abstracts. Articles selected were cross-sectional studies in Latin-American countries, whose main objective was to study MS and whose study population is described below. MS must be determined using Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Twelve studies with these criteria were selected, one of which was multi-centric. Setting: Latin America. Subjects: Apparently healthy subjects aged 18-65 years (including young adult, mature adult and elderly populations) of both genders. Results: The general prevalence (weighted mean) of MS in Latin-American countries was 24?9 (range: 18?8-43?3) %. MS was slightly more frequent in women (25?3 %) than in men (23?2 %), and the age group with the highest prevalence of MS consisted of those over 50 years of age. The most frequent components of MS were low HDL cholesterol levels (62?9 %) and abdominal obesity (45?8 %). Similar outcomes were obtained from the multi-centre study on Latin-American populations analysed. Conclusions: The present review brings us closer to an understanding of the prevalence of MS in Latin-American countries. However, it is not possible to know the full scope of the problem, partly because data from some countries are not available, and because the methodological differences among the studies published up to the present limit a joint analysis of their results.

Metabolic syndrome is a complex of metabolic factors which includes central obesity, insulin-resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to know the rate of metabolic syndrome in outpatients presenting to medicine department of our hospital and their profile. The metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using International Diabetes Federation criteria. The parameters analyzed included age, sex, blood pressure, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, HDL and triglycerides. The rate of metabolic syndrome was 21.1 % in our study. The younger population was most susceptible to metabolic derangements. Further, females were found to be affected more than males. The extremely significant parameters were deranged fasting plasma glucose, HDL, triglycerides while hypertension was found to be insignificant. Being overweight maybe a strong predictor for presence of metabolic syndrome in our region of study, and all overweight persons should be assessed and appropriately treated to prevent future cardiovascular events.
