Study on Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Essential Hypertension
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Hypertension is a highly prevalent condition, which presents a significant global challenge. In 2000, approximately one billion people worldwide (26.4% of the adult population) were estimated to have hypertension and this is likely to increase to over 1.5 billion by 2025 as result of the aging population in many developed countries and increasing incidence of hypertension in developing countries. The study subjects were examined and their laboratory investigaion were carried out in a fasting state. The mean age was 66 years. The prevalence of the MS was 48.95%. there was a trend toward female predominance in the prevalence of the MS (54.4%;44.5%; P=0.06). Moreover, female had a significant higher MS score (33.6±0.5 & 3.1±0.7;p=<0.001). The prevalence of abdominal obesity was significantly higher in female than men (77.8% & 56.3%;p<0.001). The prevalence of high TG, low HDL-c and high fasting blood glucose or treated diabetes was similar in both sexes. In female patients, those with the MS had higher serum uric acid levels than those without the MS( table-2). This difference was shown as a trend but not statistically significant in male patients(table-2). These findings suggest that the MS was highly prevalent in Indian hypertensive patients, especially in females.
