Abstract

Purpose: So far, a variety of prevalence rates have been reported for the metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to several definitions. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of MetS in Iran according to two definitions and compare the characteristics of the subjects who met the MetS criteria according to the different definitions.

Methods: Participants were recruited from family registries of public health centers. After obtaining demographic and clinical data, the subjects underwent anthropometric measurements and laboratory evaluations. MetS was defined according to the NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria. The subjects were then categorized into 3 groups: 1) Healthy non-MetS subjects based on either definition, 2) Individuals with MetS according to only one of the definitions, and 3) Individuals who met both NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria for MetS.

Results: Totally, 5826 subjects in Amol and 2243 subjects in Zahedan were enrolled in the study. The weighted prevalence of MetS according to the NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria was 27.8% and 26.9% in Amol and 12% and 11.8% in Zahedan, respectively. Overall, 18.9% of the subjects fulfilled both criteria for MetS. However, a considerable proportion (8.5%) met the MetS criteria according to only one definition but not both.

Conclusions: MetS is increasingly prevalent in Iran as well as other parts of the world. Due to non-uniform definitions of MetS, some of the subjects who meet MetS according to one set of criteria might be considered healthy according to another definition and consequently would not receive the preventive health services.

伊朗Amol和Zahedan地区代谢综合征患病率:一项基于人群的研究

目的:到目前为止，根据几种定义，代谢综合征(MetS)的患病率有所不同。本研究的目的是根据两种定义评估MetS在伊朗的患病率，并根据不同定义比较符合MetS标准的受试者的特征。方法:从公共卫生中心的家庭登记处招募参与者。在获得人口统计和临床数据后，受试者进行了人体测量和实验室评估。根据NCEP-ATPIII和IDF标准定义MetS。然后将受试者分为3组:1)基于任一定义的健康非MetS受试者，2)仅根据其中一种定义患有MetS的个体，以及3)同时符合NCEP-ATPIII和IDF MetS标准的个体。结果:共纳入Amol地区5826名受试者，扎黑丹地区2243名受试者。根据NCEP-ATPIII和IDF标准，Amol的met加权患病率分别为27.8%和26.9%，Zahedan的加权患病率分别为12%和11.8%。总体而言，18.9%的受试者满足met的两个标准。然而，相当大的比例(8.5%)符合met标准，只有一个定义，而不是两个定义。结论:MetS在伊朗和世界其他地区越来越普遍。由于MetS的定义不统一，一些根据一套标准符合MetS的受试者可能根据另一种定义被认为是健康的，因此无法获得预防性保健服务。
