ABSTRACT:
The
purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as a
cluster of risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2
diabetes mellitus and its individual components in groups of men and women
with primary obesity having different types of fat distribution. The study
involved 142 men and 185 women with primary alimentary-constitutional
obesity. The study participants were divided into 2 groups depending on waist-to-hip
ratio value. Standardized criteria were used to determine the prevalence of
metabolic syndrome and its individual components
among the examined men and women. The ratios of the number of
participants with lower or upper type of fat
distribution in men and women were 28:114 and 84:101, respectively.
Hence the frequency of lower type of fat distribution was 19.7% in men and
45.4% in women (p HDL-C (1.2-fold), and hypertension (in 1.5 times). The
frequency of metabolic syndrome in women with lower type of fat distribution
was lower by 1.9 times than that of women with upper type of fat distribution.
Both men and women in the groups with lower type of fat distribution were
missing such a component of metabolic
syndrome as hyperglycemia i.e. they
had the minimal risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
