“…Recent investigation of 1,561 bank employees in Russia, St. Petersburg revealed that MS frequency in studied population is 21.5% according to IDF criteria and 18.8%, according to ATP2005 [9]. These data are corresponding well to the prevalence of MS in USA and Western Europe [4,5].…”

SummaryAim. This study is dedicated to evaluation of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in patients with schizophrenia in Russia. Methods. 138 patients with schizophrenia who received antipsychotic medication and 138 mental healthy subjects from 1,561 bank employees cohort matched to schizophrenic patients by sex, age and body mass index were enrolled to the study. Fasting blood plasma levels of glucose, lipids, insulin, cortisol, prolactin concentrations were determined. Results. In comparison with control group, patients had significantly higher frequency of metabolic syndrome and abdominal type of obesity (according to NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria). In spite of lesser level of plasma glucose and total cholesterol, plasma insulin and triglycerides concentrations were higher in patients with schizophrenia. High density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration was lower in patients while arterial blood pressure level didn't differ between groups. Cortisol and prolactin levels were elevated in the patient group, but these hormones neither correlated with metabolic syndrome nor with any metabolic parameters studied. Discussion. The study conducted in Russia revealed the increased frequency of metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic patients in comparison with mental healthy cohort. The main disorders found in the patient group were abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Conclusion. Results obtained in this study should be taken into account when developing of medical treatment of patients with schizophrenia.

INTRODUCTIONHypertension, the -silent killer‖ -is a modern day's epidemic and is an increasingly important medical and global public health issue due to its role in causation of coronary heart disease, stroke and other vascular complications.1 It is defined as systolic blood pressure measuring more than or equal to 140 mm of mercury and diastolic blood pressure measuring more than or equal to 90 mm of mercury recorded in an individual according to JNC 7.2 The global prevalence of raised blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and over was around 22% in 2014. 3 Approximately 9.4 million deaths and 7% of disease burden as measured in DALYs (disability -adjusted life years) are caused by raised blood pressure in 2010. Higher the blood pressure, higher the risk of both stroke and coronary events. 4 Overall prevalence for hypertension in India was found to be 29.8%. About 33% urban and 25% rural Indians have hypertension. 5ABSTRACT Background: Hypertension, the -silent killer‖ -is a modern day's epidemic and is becoming a public health emergency worldwide, especially in the developing countries. Sedentary life-style and stress are important risk factors for hypertension. The job of bank employees is both sedentary in nature and accompanies high levels of mental stress, thereby at a higher risk of developing hypertension. Hence the present study was conducted to study the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among the bank employees in Western Maharashtra. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during January 2014 to December 2015 to assess the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among the bank employees in Western Maharashtra. By using multistage sampling method, total 340 bank employees from 40 branches were included in the study after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After all ethical considerations, the data were collected by using pre-designed, pre-tested and semistructured questionnaire and then analysed using MS Excel, SPSS-22 and Primer of Biostatistics. Results: Overall prevalence of hypertension was 39.7% and that of pre-hypertension was 41.8% among the study population. Socio-demographic factors like age, male gender, family history of hypertension, mode of travel, physical activity, overweight, years of service, intake of coffee and smoking had shown significant association with hypertension. Conclusions: Prevalence of hypertension was found as significantly higher in bank employees than the general population of India. Among the non-hypertensives large part was pre-hypertensives which are also at high risk of developing hypertension in the future.

“…33 We also found that lack of physical activity was associated with MSx, which was consistent with findings of several previous studies. 23,34 Workers with MSx were less likely to consume fruits. Eating breakfast and interest in fatty food were not significantly different between studied workers with and without MSx.…”
