Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Main reasons of metabolic syndrome are obesity and overweighing, which are becoming a global
worldwide problem. Obesity is both a prevalent condition worldwide and a well-known, modifiable risk factor for
various diseases, including diabetes. In a recent review article, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index
(BMI) were reported as established risk factors for diabetes.
GOAL: To define the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Mongolian aging man living in Ulaanbaatar city
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Randomly selected 180 men aged 35-90 years old were involved to this study. All were
informed and written consent was given by each individual. The metabolic syndrome was defined by NCEP
definition: high blood pressure, high waist circumference, higher fasting sugar, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol.
Anthropometric parameters like waist circumference (WC), weight, height, blood pressure and blood chemical
parameters like glucose, triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-Ch) were measured by automatic biochemical
analyzer.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION: Average age of all participants was 56.82±12.55 years and was divided in three age
groups: 35-60 (n=112), 61-74 (n=47), 74-90 (n=17). The characteristics of participants are shown Mongolian men
in 38.8 % (70) of all participants had a metabolic syndrome and in compare to T.Baysgalan’s study, implemented in
2007 was higher. In our opinion it depends on our study participant’s age, because in our study number of elderly
were predominating than mentioned survey. Waist circumference in metabolic syndrome group is higher than in
healthy control group (p<0.05). Triglyceride level does not change with aging, but in our study participants, the TG
level was negatively correlated with aging in metabolic syndrome group (r = -0.307).
HDL-cholesterol is abundantly circulating molecule in human plasma and shows anti-atherogenic effect. In our
participants HDL-Ch decreases with aging (r=-0.174).
CONCLUSION: Our pilot study present that metabolic syndrome prevalence reaches 38.8% of total aged, male
participants, and it is leads to implement and provide an investigation in large range, including urban and rural
areas of the country.
