Characteristics of metabolic syndrome in women
https://doi.org/10.14341/2072-0351-5980
Abstract
Aims.
To evaluate combination and manifestation sequence of metabolic syndrome (MS) components, as well as cardiovascular riskfactors in women.
Materials and methods.
We examined 100 female subjects with MS. We assessed anthropometric parameters, glycemic control andlipid metabolism. We also conducted cardiac ultrasound in all participants.
Results.
44% of patients developed abdominal obesity after pregnancy, 48% - in perimenopausal period and in 8% of studied casesobesity manifested in combination with arterial hypertension 10 years before menopause (at the average). Family history of type 2diabetes mellitus and obesity, elevation of LDL and TG characterized post pregnancy abdominal obesity. Postmenopausal obesity wasassociated with significantly lower levels of HDL. HDL concentration was also lower in cases of histerectomia and early age of surgicalmenopause.
Conclusion.
Manifestation of MS in females is associated with periods of hormonal imbalance. Cardiovascular risk positively correlateswith number of pregnancies, duration of abdominal obesity experience, and negatively - with HDL level and age of surgical menopause.Complete form of MS (with all 6 components present) is found more frequently in women with postmenopausal manifestation.
