Abstract:
Objective To investigate prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in population at high-risk for diabetes in Changfeng community of Shanghai. Methods Totally, 982 persons aged 40-79 years without previous history of diabetes, but with risk factors for diabetes from Changfeng community in Shanghai were screened by questionnaire, physical examinations, lipid profile and oral glucose tolerance test. Prevalence of MS and its clinical characteristic were observed. Results Overall prevalence of MS was 44. 6% (438/982) in Changfeng community, significantly higher in women of 48.6% (341/701) than that in men of 34. 5% (97/281) (P<0.01). Prevalence of MS increased with age in women (P <0. 01 ), but not in men (P>0.05). Components of MS ranking from high to low were hypertension of 66. 5% (653/982), abdominal obesity of 62.8% (617/982), decreased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) of 49. 4% (485/982), increased triglyceride (TG) of 46. 0% (452/982) and increased fasting glucose of 35.7% (351/982). There were 55.9% (245/438) of MS patients with three or more MS components in addition to abdominal obesity. Conclusions Prevalence of MS is higher in community population at high-risk for diabetes and more than half of the MS patients have three or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
