“…Although the data on young people is rather limited; CMS according to one report was present in 4.2% in adolescents [11]. 35.1% of male and 32.6% of female meeting such criteria. In those patients meeting the criteria the following risks and their incidences are reported: abdominal obesity (53%), hypertension (40%), and hyperglycemia (39%) [12].…”

Cardio Metabolic Syndrome (CMS), also known as insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome X, is a combination of metabolic disorders or risk factors that essentially includes a combination of diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, central obesity and hyper-lipidemia. Common to these diseases of metabolism is the associated development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Studies have shown a strong link between CMS and increased prevalence of peripheral vascular diseases, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions as well as cerebro-vascular arterial diseases and stroke.

“…This is also supported by the fact that 55% of the disease burden in Qatar is attributable to non-communicable diseases [16]. Also the distribution of chronic diseases related risk factors among the general population is similar to that of developed nations; 12% of the population has diabetes, 30% is overweight, 20% is obese, 41% has high cholesterol, and 21% has the metabolic syndrome [17].…”

Abstract-The study aimed to assess the changes in the cause and sex-specific mortality and the life expectancy in Qatar from 1996-2010. Method: the electronic database, from the tertiary healthcare providers at the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), and vital health statistics from Supreme Council of Health in Qatar was utilized to assess the impact of cause and sex-specific mortality on life expectancy at birth. Correlation between life expectancy at birth to causes such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), traffic accidents, malignant neoplasm, endocrine diseases and congenital abnormalities was measured, so as to compare the potential gains from the elimination of these causes. Result: in Qatar, considering the time period of 1996-2010, the gain in life expectancy at birth was 3.6 years for men and 2.3 years for women. Overall, all cause mortality rate was 176.7 per 100,000 during 1996-2010. The mortality related to circulatory system ranked first, with mean annual mortality rate of 38.7 per 100,000, followed by road traffic accidents (27.18). Among males, mean annual mortality due to traffic accidents and circulatory systems declined from 1996 to 2010. Among females, mean mortality rate due to neoplasm mildly increased from 20.0/100,000 in 1996 to 24.8/100,000 in 2010, and that due to prenatal conditions among females declined from 12.0/100,000 in 1996, to 6.9/100,000 in 2010. Among both males and females, the mean mortality for circulatory system declined during 1996 to 2010. Overall, except for road traffic accidents (r=-0.130, p=0.494), illdefined conditions (r=-0.235, p= 0.212), and endocrine disease (r=-0.135, p=0.476) all other leading causes of mortality showed significant negative correlation with life expectancy at birth. Conclusion: increases in life expectancy in Qatar were mostly achieved by reductions in all causes mortality, and especially from reductions in mortality from the circulatory and endocrine system diseases, and prenatal and congenital deaths. The present study provided useful information which can help the policy makers in more effective allocation of resources for public health programs in Qatar.

Major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder among the patients with diabetes mellitus

IntroductionDiabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder characterized by impaired metabolism of glucose and other energy-yielding fuels as well as by the late development of vascular and neurological complication. 1 DM may present with characteristic or classical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, loss of weight, fatigue, blurring of vision etc. Diabetic subjects are at an increased risk of atherosclerotic changes affecting the vessels leading to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. Several pathogenetic processes are involved in the development of diabetes. The autoimmune destruction of the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas results in insulin deficiency. DM is a major global public health problem which is increasing dramatically in developing countries. 2 The prevalence of DM worldwide is estimated to be around 200 million people, more than 5% of the adult population globally. 3 Several factors contribute in type 2 DM pathogenesis, including environmental and lifestyle factors. 4,5 In modern life suffering from diabetes mellitus has become an integral part for many. Not only the genetic inheritance but also the environmental factors and lifestyle we lead in this era also can cause diabetes in people. Among the many additional complications which coincide with DM, depression, anxiety, tension and stress are most commonly under-detected. 6 This is that a growing body of literature has reported that patients with diabetes are almost twice as suffer from anxiety and depression as the general population. 7,8 To our knowledge, insufficient studies had conducted regarding psychiatric morbidities among diabetic patients in our country and no study had conducted in North zone of Bangladesh. So the objective of the study was to evaluate the proportion of MDD and GAD among the patients suffering from Diabetes mellitus as well as to identify the socio-demographic characteristics of patients in this area. This study will give baseline information about psychiatric co-morbidity among the diabetic patients. Among them 18 (22.5%) were suffering from MDD and 11 (13.7%) were suffering from GAD. It was shown that both MDD and GAD were higher among female patients. So physicians should pay attention to rule out psychiatric disorders in patients with DM.

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome According to Adult Treatment Panel III and International Diabetes Federation Criteria: A Population-Based Study

Abstract: The current study found a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Qataris. There was a steady increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome through the decades, independent of the definition. Age and BMI were important significant predictors for metabolic syndrome.
