Abstract:
Objectives To compare the value of different criteria (WHO, IDF and CDS criteria) on the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the elderly people. Methods 2 456 elderly patients admitted to General Hospital of PLA for routine physical examination during 1996 to 2005 were involved in present study. The value of different criteria (WHO, IDF and CDS criteria) on the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MS) was compared. Results The incidences of MS in the involved patients were 27.2%, 27.0% and 42.6%, respectively, according to WHO, IDF and CDS criteria. The diagnostic coincidence of CDS and IDF criteria was 79.0%. For the 1759 cases with the waistline data, the incidences of MS were 32.3%, 37.8% and 53.8%, respectively, according to the above three criteria. The diagnostic coincidence of CDS and IDF criteria was 76.5 %. According to the criteria of WHO, IDF and CDS, central obesity was detectable in a rate of 35.9%, 49.6% and 52.2%, respectively. Hypertension was diagnosed in a rate of 61.6%, 72.4% and 61.6%, and abnormal glucose metabolism was found in a rate of 24.9%, 40.5% and 24.9%, respectively. The most common clinical symptom complex of MS was hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance and abnormal lipid metabolism. Conclusions A higher coincidence exists between CDS and IDF criteria for MS, but the incidence of MS is higher in CDS criterion compared to WHO and IDF criteria. It is indicated that more attention should be paid on the measurement of the waistline in the elderly people. It seems more appropriate that the waistline data in CDS criterion should be modified from 85cm to 90cm for the elderly people, however, this should be verified by more epidemiological investigation.
