Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between QT interval and the components of metabolic syndrome in adult Chinese population.Methods Totally 975 adults(494 men and 481 women)aged 41~53 from the study cohort of Fetal Origin of Adult Disease(FOAD)were recruited in the study for epidemiologic examinations,involving anthropometry and measurements of blood pressure,fasting and 2hr plasma levels of glucose and insulin and serum levels of lipid.A standard 12-lead ECG was recorded and the corrected QT(QTc)was calculated accordingly by Bazett formula.HOMA-IR index was calculated for estimating individual insulin resistance.Metabolic syndrome(MS)was diagnosed according to the definition issued by the International Diabetes Federation(IDF)in 2005.Results The prolonged QT interval was found in 262 of the 975 cases(26.9%),and the rates of prolonged QT interval being 21.6% and 32.6% in men and women respectively(P=0.0001).The prevalences of MS,IR,central obesity,IFG,higher serum level of triglyceride(TG)and lower serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were 19.7%,19.5%,42.5%,34.3%,26.3%,34.6% and 31.1% in this mid-aged population respectively.The prolonged QT interval was significantly associated with MS,IR,IFG,higher serum level of triglyceride(TG)and certral obesity respectively(P
