Abstract

Background. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) components in an urban Mexican sample. Methods. A total of 854 subjects were included. Anthropometric, blood pressure measurements, clinical data, and overnight fasting blood samples were obtained from all subjects. Results. In accordance with definitions by the American Heart Association/ National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of MS among participants was 59.7 and 68.7%, respectively. The prevalence of MS was higher in women and in individuals older than 45 years of age. More than 40% of the subjects fulfilled four criterions of MS according to both definitions. Conclusions. There was a high prevalence of MS components in an urban Mexican sample. Therefore, strong strategies had to be developed for early detection of MS and its components to prevent DMT2 and atherothrombotic complications in these patients.

Percent of patients with number of criterions based on IDF y AHA/NHBLI definitions stratified by sex and age. Regardless of the severity of the metabolic syndrome, we found that 43.7% of the individuals fulfilled four criterions when MS was diagnosed by IDF, and 45.3% of the subjects had three components when was used the AHA/NHLBI definition. Similar results were found when we did the analysis stratified by gender. As we expect, in the analysis stratified by age-based MS by IDF and AHA/NHLBI definitions, we found that individuals ≤45 years old fulfilled 3 criterions, whereas four components were present in the older group (43.8%).
