Abstract:
Objective To analyze the significance of the waistline (WC), body mass index (BMI) and hyperinsulinaemia (HIns) on evaluating the metabolic syndrome. Methods The data of routine clinical examination were collected from the mid-aged and senile individuals (middle-senile group) who received oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diabetes screening, and from a group of subjects who received annual OGTT for diabetes screening (mature group). Data were collected by a specialized person, input into a special computer database, and then analyzed with SAS 5.0 software by specialized staffs. Abnormal WC and BMI were determined according to IDF and CDS criteria. HIns was determined if fasting insulin (FIns) ≥15mU/L and 2-hour insulin after glucose burdening (2hPIns) ≥80mU/L. Results In the middle-senile group, the abnormality frequencies of WC and HIns as well as overall insulin level were obviously higher than that in the mature young group. The abnormality frequency of BMI was higher in mature young group. A higher detection rate of HIns existed in intolerance glucose test (IGT) and normal glucose test (NGT). The coincidence of WC and BMI diagnostic criteria were 77.5% and 74.3%, respectively, on evaluating with or without obesity in the middle-senile group and mature young group. When only WC criterion was used for evaluating the existence of insulin resistance, there would be 28.2% of missed diagnosis rate for MS patients. Conclusion WC, BMI and HIns are all risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism, hypertension and dyslipidemia. There is different prevalence among different populations. The combination of WC, BMI and HIns might be more helpful for identifying MS at early stage.
