Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is verify the correlation between benign laryngeal mucosal disease and metabolic syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Data for patients diagnosed with benign laryngeal mucosal disease and metabolic syndrome from 2006 to 2015 were selected for analysis from the National Health Insurance Service database. RESULTS: The prevalence of Metabolic syndrome was 2,179,785 out of 6,437,051 patients (33.86%). The prevalence of benign laryngeal mucosal disease was 516,594 out of 6,437,051 patients (8.03%). Metabolic syndrome was a risk factor for benign laryngeal mucosal disease [hazard ratio: 0.99, 95% confidence interval: 0.984–0.997] after adjusting for age and other variables including age, gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, exercise, body mass index, and diabetes. The number of metabolic syndrome components was also risk factor. CONCLUSION: Metabolic syndrome was related to the incidence of benign laryngeal mucosal disease. However this correlation did not seem to be high.
