“…In Kaunas middle-aged population the prevalence of MS according to IDF definition was higher in women than in men and it increased with age in both sexes. Our recent data showed that the prevalence of MS increased with age irrespective of the definitions used [21]. These findings are similar to previous reports in the research literature that prevalence of MS increases with age [14,18].…”

“…Our recent investigation compared the prevalence of MS using three different definitions, and their ability to identify the risk of ischemic heart disease. Results show that in Kaunas population aged 35-64 years the highest prevalence of MS was determined according to the IDF definition and using this definition for MS provides more opportunities to identify subjects with ischemic heart disease [21]. The relationship between lifestyle habits and prevalence of MS defined by IDF definition is still under investigation and has not been studied in Lithuanian population thus far.…”

AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess the relationship between lifestyle characteristics and the probability of metabolic syndrome in the Lithuanian middle-aged population of Kaunas city. Study sample was comprised of 1403 individuals aged 35–64 years. Metabolic syndrome was defined by International Diabetes Federation definition. Lifestyle habits were evaluated using frequency questionnaires. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was identified in 29.7% of men and 35.1% of women. In men only alcohol intake increased the risk of metabolic syndrome: wine intake daily or several times a week increased the risk of metabolic syndrome in men aged 35–49 years by 3.8-fold whereas intake of spirits once a week or more often increased the risk of metabolic syndrome in men aged 50–64 years by 2.8-fold. In women aged 50–64 years beer intake daily or several times a week (OR=11.9; p=0.015) and some unhealthy nutrition habits — intake of cakes 4 times a week or more often (OR=5.49; p=0.005) and slather spread butter on bread (OR=2.09; p=0.028) increased the odds of metabolic syndrome. Our findings indicated that frequent intake of wine and spirits increased the risk of metabolic syndrome in men; frequent intake of beer, cakes, slather spread butter on bread and low education level increased the risk of metabolic syndrome in women.

“…Investigations with more than two levels of PA compared still receive high attention of epidemiologists. Prevalence of the MS in Lithuanian population is high and increases with age, especially in women [9,10]. In Lithuania the mortality from CVD remains one of the highest in Europe and is the first in deaths structure.…”

“…In a study showed that 33.7% of men and 46.8% of women had metabolic syndrome (by two definitions NCEP-ATPIII and IDF) [46]. In the United States, 39% and 34.5% of adults had metabolic syndrome by two definitions, respectively [47].…”

The metabolic syndrome is described by the clustering of several risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Lipid disorder, obesity, diabetes in general and high blood pressure are collectively defined as risk factors for cardiovascular disease triggered by metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndromes have a correlation with the variations in genetic susceptibility, nutritional regiment, physical exercise, chronological age and gender which play direct role in the incidence of metabolic syndrome and its side effects. There are several definitions of Metabolic Syndrome in the World: World Health Organization's (WHO), The NCEP Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). It appears that the female type 2 diabetic patients need to change their life style to halt the burden of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients. Clinicians should significantly consider screening all people regardless of age for abnormalities in glucose level. Early treatment in people with abnormal glucose level constitutes a strategy of preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Studies about metabolic syndrome have shown that females were more affected than males. This may be due to the specific characteristics in the lifestyle changes between females and males diabetic patients. Postmenopausal status might be a predictor of metabolic syndrome. Some related factors of metabolic syndrome among postmenopausal women may increase cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.
