Abstract

Introduction: METABOLIC SYNDROME includes obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, glucose intolerance, hypertension and lipid profile abnormalities. The risk of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASEs with this syndrome is higher than every components alone. In view of its burden and high mortality rate, this syndrome should be noted.Methods: The 25-64 aged individuals in 17th zone of Tehran were studied. It was designed according to the WHO MONICA (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE) project using the ATP III criteria. The parameters have been used for the risk analysis were Waist Circumference (WC), fasting serum triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), blood pressure (BP) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG).Results: The crude PREVALENCE rate of the METABOLIC SYNDROME was 29.9% and the age-adjusted PREVALENCE was 27.5%. The PREVALENCE increased with age. The highest PREVALENCE among different age-groups was seen in women aged 55-64 years. In the whole population, the most metabolic abnormalities were hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension that were present in more than half of the population. The people with METABOLIC SYNDROME had higher BMI than rest.Conclusion: Results demonstrate high METABOLIC SYNDROME rate among target population specially in women. In view of correlation between METABOLIC SYNDROME and CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, it must be the priority of interventional preventive measures. Improving the diet, changing the lifestyle and increasing physical activity can be helpful.
