“…MS is considered a risk factor for coronary artery disease as, confirmed by the research of many authors [47][48][49]. People with MS are twice as likely to die and three times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared with people without the syndrome [50]. The researchers presented relation with other disorders, including fatty liver disease, sleep disordered breathing or chronic kidney disease [51,52].…”

The metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X or the insulin resistance, is defined by the World Health Organization as a pathologic condition characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Both all over the world and in Poland, there is a shortage of nurses; most of those employed are in the pre-retirement age. However, the requirements in this profession and the patient’s right to care at the highest level remain unchanged and do not take into account the poor condition or age of working nurses, so special attention should be paid to the state of health in this professional group. There is an emphasis on the importance of the adopted attitude toward health and the resulting behaviors, such as regular weight control, following dietary recommendations, regular physical activity and participation in preventive examinations. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome, its individual components and determining the factors influencing its development in Polish nurses. The research conducted among the nurses in question included DXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) measurements, assessment of glucose concentration, lipid profile, blood pressure and a questionnaire survey. Almost half of the surveyed nurses have metabolic syndrome, which significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. After multivariate analysis, it was found that being overweight and obesity were significant factors influenced the MS (metabolic syndrome) occurrence among Polish nurses. Being overweight increases the chances of MS occurrence 8.58 times in relation to BMI (Body Mass Index) <25, obesity increases the chances of MS occurrence 8.085 times in relation to BMI <25, and obesity class II/III increases the chances of MS occurrence 16.505 times in relation to BMI <25. Preventive and supportive measures for this professional group are needed.

“…This nding was consistent with that of Samrawit and Wudeneh, (2019) in Ethiopia (1), and Omech and colleagues (2016) in Botswana (9). Also a 300-patient (150 men and 150 women) research at the King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, found that obesity was a signi cant risk factor for cardiometabolic syndrome according to Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, whereas only aging and positive family history of diabetes mellitus were according to International Diabetes Federation criteria (10). Samrawit and Wudeneh, (2019) also showed that being overweight was associated with metabolic syndrome (1).…”

Introduction: Uganda, like other developing countries is experiencing an increasing burden of non communicable diseases. A few studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa have shown that the incidence of cardiometabolic syndrome is rapidly approaching that of the developed nations. Information regarding key determinants for this anomaly among the Ugandan population in many parts of the country however remains scanty despite the associated morbidity Methods A 3-months cross-sectional study involving 383 adult participants was conducted from November 2022 to January 2023 at Fortportal regional referral hospital medical outpatient clinic. Interviewer administered questionnaires and laboratory report forms were used to obtain data. Descriptive statistics followed by binary logistic regression were conducted using IBM SPSS 20 Results 136(36%) of the 383 participants had CS. Daily physical activity of > 30 minutes (aOR = 0.70; 95%CI: 0.46–0.91, p = 0.003) was protective for CS while BMI > 24 kg/m2 (aOR = 4.25; 95%CI: 1.17–5.59, p = 0.001) was significantly associated with high odds for CS (p < 0.05) Conclusion Daily physical activity and BMI are the key determinants of CS at this facility. Preventive lifestyle interventions should be targeted at lowering BMI and promoting daily physical exercises in this area.

Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is identified as a cluster of risk factors that significantly increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. It is characterized by obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Multiple definitions and criteria of MS exist. The most widely used set of criteria are the US National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) ATP III and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), both of which are used in this study. Due to different defining criteria and population demographics, the prevalence of MS varies widely across countries, regions, and continents.Objective: This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome among primary healthcare attendees in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over 12 months at the Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) Wazzarat Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, involving 262 participants. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of MS among primary healthcare attendees using ATP III and IDF criteria. Participants were assessed for sociodemographic features, comorbidities, vital signs, and laboratory data related to MS. Statistical analysis utilized R v 4.3 for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Chi-square tests for categorical variables, and the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables.Results: Among the study participants, 20.2% met the criteria for MS according to ATP III, and 19.9% according to IDF criteria, with a strong concordance between the two (Kappa statistic = 0.92, P < 0.001). The median age of individuals with MS was significantly higher (45 years) than those without (35 years, P < 0.001). Significant predictors included age, with BMI and fasting blood glucose showing a strong positive correlation (r > 0.5, P < 0.001). Notably, 60.7% of the cohort were medically free from conditions contributing to MS.Conclusion: The prevalence of MS among primary healthcare attendees in Riyadh, as defined by ATP III and IDF criteria, underscores the importance of age and lifestyle factors as predictors. The findings advocate for targeted preventive strategies focusing on lifestyle modifications to mitigate the risk of MS. Further research is suggested to explore the long-term impact of these interventions.
