BACKGROUND Hearing loss was a common, chronically disabling condition in the general population and had been associated with several inflammatory diseases. Metabolic syndrome, which was associated with insulin resistance and visceral obesity, was considered a chronic inflammatory disease. To date, few attempts had been made to establish a direct relationship between hearing loss and metabolic s...

AIM in this study we report the relationship between fasting plasma insulin, C-reactive protein, adiponectin levels and the components of metabolic syndrome. METHODS for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome we used the modified NCEP ATP criteria for Asian people. Complete routine physical examinations were performed to all subjects including blood pressure, waist circumference. After 12-hours ...

metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetics and is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in such patients. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the three criteria of atpiii, idf and the new criteria for metabolic syndrome diagnosis in kerman, iran. this cross-sectional study was performed on 950 diabetic type 2 patien...

This study was designed to determine the frequency of metabolic syndrome in diabetic females and to compare the pre-menopausal and post-menopausal diabetics for the presence of metabolic syndrome. This is a comparative cross-sectional study carried out at the Out patient diabetic clinic Mayo Hospital, Lahore, from Jan., 2007 to May 2007. All adult diabetic females coming for regular checkup to ...

OBJECTIVE The metabolic syndrome is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular disease even when the abnormalities present in the syndrome are mild. The underlying mechanism of the metabolic syndrome has not been elucidated. We investigated whether a strong atherogenic lipoprotein, remnant-like particle (RLP) lipoprotein cholesterol, is elevated in the metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DES...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome has been associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to examine metabolic syndrome as a determinant of CIMT in men and women and to compare the Framingham risk score (FRS) and metabolic syndrome as risk factors for increased carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS The study...

BACKGROUND Evidence from epidemiological studies has demonstrated that a shorter or longer duration of nighttime sleep may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. Little is known about the association between daily sleep duration, including nighttime sleep and daytime napping duration, and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to examine the association between daily sleep duration and metabolic syndro...

Obesity, or overweight, in childhood is a major risk factor for the metabolic syndrome in adolescence, as the prevalence in US children tripled between 1970 and 2000. An increase in the metabolic syndrome in youth has followed this increase. In population-based studies, the prevalence of the syndrome ranged from 3.6% to 4.2%. In smaller studies with many overweight youth, the prevalence was 28....

metabolic syndrome is a chronic low-grade inflammation condition which is associated with central obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension. inflammation in metabolic syndrome is not only associated with elevated serum inflammatory markers, such as c-reactive protein (crp), but also, is associated with low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue and releasing of adipokines. higher...
