Abstract:
Objective Among the various components of metabolic syndrome(MS),this investigation attempt to find the most important one.Furthermore,to verify the feasibility of using waist circumference(WC)for assessing the diagnostic criteria for MS proposed by the CDS in 2004.Methods Among 163 cases recruited,80 patients met the criteria of MS and 83 cases were diagnosed as non-metabolic syndrome group(non-MS).Age,WC,body mass index(BMI),fasting plasma glucose,lipid profile,blood pressure were compared between patients of MS and non-MS.Logistic regression analysis and area under curve(AUC)of receiver-operating characteristic(ROC)were used to study the predictive value of WC.Results Patients with CDS-defined MS showed a significantly higher age,WC,SBP,DBP,fasting plasma glucose,triglycerides(TG),1/HDL-C when compared with non-MS group.After adjusting for age,the family history of diabetes and hypertension,smoke,multiple logistic regression analysis revealed WC was the most important predictive factor for MS group.ROC analysis showed that the AUC of WC was 0.92 in the males,the cut-off value is 89.5 cm,the sensitivity was 0.84,the specificity was 0.93;the AUC of WC was 0.93 in the females,the sensitivity was 0.97,the specificity was 0.81 when cut-off value is 80.8 cm.This investigation has shown that smoking was also a component of MS.The relative risk of MS in current smokers and sustained smoker was higher than that of abstinence(6.88 vs 1.00 and 3.96 vs 1.00).Conclusion Central obesity is the riskest indicator for the diagnostic criteria for MS proposed by the CDS,WC is verified to be the accuracy and satisfactory predictive indicators for MS.Smoking may be a novel component of MS.
