Use of anthropometric measures to predict insulin resistance.

Objective: Obesity is closely related to insulin-resistance (IR) but it is evaluated differently in the diverse definitions of the metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to verify the utility of different anthropometric measures to predict IR and to evaluate the best cut-off points.

Subjects And Method: We performed a cross-sectional study of the general population aged 40 to 70 years old (n=2,143); a simple random sample of 305 non-diabetic persons was obtained.

[Comparison of the SCORE and Framingham models in calculating high cardiovascular risk for a sample of males within the 45-65 age range in Asturias, Spain].

Background: The Spanish Interdisciplinary Committee for Cardiovascular Prevention has recently drafted a consensus for adapting the European Cardiovascular Prevention Guide to the Spanish population, using SCORE as the risk-calculation method. This study is aimed as ascertaining the differences involved in changing over from the Framingham to the SCORE criterion in the classification of males within the high-risk group.

Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in primary care.

[Differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the ATP-III and WHO definitions].

Background And Objective: The objective of the study is to know the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS), as well as to know the differences in its prevalence according to the Adult Treatment Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program (ATP-III) and World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

Patients And Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study performed in primary care in population of both sexes aged between 40 and 74 years. Variables studied were risk factors as well as each one of the components of MS, according to both definitions.
