Background: The metabolic syndrome is a decisive risk factor for the manifestation of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Metabolic syndrome is the term used to describe the joint presence of specific diseases (obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, disorders of fat metabolism). A classification is made more difficult by inconsistent definition criteria and a missing International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) code. There are no known prevalence studies for Germany based on routine data of the statutory health insurance (GKV).
Objective: The main aim of the present study was to classify the metabolic syndrome based on routine data of the GKV and to estimate the frequency of diagnosis. In addition, the influence of social factors (school and educational qualifications) was examined for the subgroup of employees with social insurance.
Material And Methods: A retrospective routine data analysis was carried out based on routine administrative data from the AOK Lower Saxony (AOKN). In contrast to the established definitions, which use medical parameters, the risk factors are taken into account via four coded diagnoses according to the ICD-10 classification: 1) obesity (E66.0, E66.8, E66.9), 2) type 2 diabetes mellitus (E11), 3) hypertension (I10) and 4) metabolic disorders (E78). A metabolic syndrome is present if at least two of the four diagnoses are present.
Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the population of the AOKN in 2019 was 25.7%. The standardized comparison according to the census population of 2011 showed an increase in the frequency of diagnosis (2009: 21.5% and 2019: 24%). The frequency of diagnosis differed according to school and educational qualifications.
Conclusion: A classification and analysis of the frequency of the metabolic syndrome based on routine data of the GKV is possible. Between 2009 and 2019 there was a clear increase in the frequency of diagnoses.

Liver cirrhosis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Excessive alcohol consumption and metabolic associated steatotic liver disease are the most common etiological factors of cirrhosis in our region. Cirrhosis occurs in two well-differentiated phases, compensated and decompensated, depending on the absence or presence of complications, respectively.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder, affecting approximately 11-13% of women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS experience a higher prevalence of infertility, pregnancy complications, and cardiometabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, psychiatric comorbidities, including depression and anxiety, significantly impact the quality of life in this population.

Background: Severe or recurring major depression is associated with increased adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), heightened atherogenicity, and immune-linked neurotoxicity (INT). Nevertheless, the interconnections among these variables in outpatient major depression (OMDD) have yet to be determined. We aim to determine the correlations among INT, atherogenicity, and ACEs in OMDD patients compared to normal controls.

Background: Small nutritional preloads can reduce postprandial glucose excursions in individuals with and without metabolic syndrome or T2D. However, most studies have focused on preloads administered before single meals and have predominantly used protein-based preloads.
Objective: To investigate the effects of sequential consumption of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and whey protein isolate (WPI) preloads before breakfast lunch and dinner on postprandial, diurnal and 24h glycaemia in individuals with T2D.
