[Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in 25-45-year-old Novosibirsk dwellers].

Aim: To study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components in a 25-45-year-old Novosibirsk population.

Subjects And Methods: The Novosibirsk Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine conducted a cross-sectional population-based survey in one of the typical districts of Novosibirsk in 2013-2015. The survey covered 346 men and 408 women. The criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (NCEP-ATP III, 2001), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF, 2005), the Joint Interim Statement (JIS, 2009), and the All-Russian Research Society of Cardiologists (ARRSC, 2009) were used to detect MS. According to the ARRSC criteria, MS was recorded if a waist circumference (WC) was >80 cm for women and >94 cm for men in conjunction with 2 of the following criteria: a blood pressure ≥130/85 mm Hg, triglycerides (TG) ≥1.7 mmol/l, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol <1.0 mmol/l for men and <1.2 mmol/l for women, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol >3.0 mmol/l, and plasma glucose level ≥6.1 mmol/l.

Results: According to the 2009 ARRSC criteria, the prevalence of abdominal obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, HDL hypocholestrolemia, LDL hypercholesterolemia, and high plasma glucose level was 42.6, 33.5, 17.5, 24.3, 64.8, and 29%, respectively. The prevalence of MS in 25-45-year-old Novosibirsk people was 17% (19.9% in men and 14.5% in women) according to the 2001 NCEP-ATP III, 27% (29.5% in men and 24.5% in women) according to the 2005 IDF criteria, 30% (35.8% in men and 25% in women) according to the 2009 JIS criteria, and 29.3% (33.2% in men and 26% in women) according to the 2009 ARRSC criteria, this was higher among men than women. There was an increase in the prevalence of MS with age.

Conclusion: The highest prevalence of MS was 30 and 29.3% when using the 2009 JIS and the 2009 ARRSC criteria, respectively. Whatever the criterion was used, MS was more frequently recorded in men than women.
