Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the severity of metabolic syndrome (MS) relates to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as MS is traditionally assessed in a binary manner which oversimplifies the risk.
- - Researchers conducted a ten-year follow-up study of 238 premenopausal women with SLE, finding that those who experienced MACE had a higher prevalence of MS and a more severe MS score based on the MetSx-IMC index.
- - Results indicate that the MetSx-IMC severity index is a better predictor for MACE risk in SLE patients than traditional binary assessments, emphasizing the need for more nuanced evaluations of metabolic health in these
Background: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have 3times the risk of death compared to the rest of the population, with cardiovascular events (CVD) being one of the main causes. Índices such as waist-height (W-Ht I), waist-hip (W-Hp I) and pulse-mass (PMI) predict CVD, though the behaviour is unknown in patients with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of PMI in the development of CVD in premenopausal women with SLE.

Background And Objective: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. In lupus patients there is an increased cardiovascular risk due to an accelerated atherogenesis. Furthermore, Metabolic Syndrome (MS) adds an independent risk for developing Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in the population.

Methods: A non-experimental pre-post evaluation study was performed in a sample of 98 boys and 96 boys aged between 6 and 24 months. We analyzed demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical variables.
