Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Recently, the prevalence of gall stone related with metabolic syndrome is increasing in Korea. The aim of this study was to reveal a relationship between components of metabolic syndrome and the development of gall bladder stones. METHODS: Among the subjects who visited a health promotion center of Soonchunhyang University Hospital from March 2009 to March 2010, a total of 5,201 adults were examined. Among them, the final 5,052 (male 3,403, female 1,649) adults were included. Sex, age, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, and the presence of gall stones were measured. Metabolic syndrome was defined by criteria of 2004 American Heart Association/Updated National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Analyses were adjusted by age and sex. RESULTS: This study showed that the prevalence of gall stone was 1.6% and metabolic syndrome was 19.3%. The results didn't show an association between gall stone risk and components of metabolic syndrome. But gall stone risk was increased according to aging, high total cholesterol in the abnormal body mass index group. In normal body mass index group, waist circumference was related with the development of gall stone. Total cholesterol level was related with the development of gall stone in overweight group. CONCLUSION: This study showed total cholesterol levels and waist circumference related with prevalence of gall stone in specific body mass index group.
