Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MS) among workers in a heavy industry of Guizhou.
Methods The information on characteristics and relationships of MS components were surveyed by a multistage cluster sampling method and analyzed.
Results The MS rate of the enterprise population was 16.87% (male 22.41%, female 4.21%), and 74% of the male MS patients and 45% of the female MS patients had at least one MS component. Among the only-one-MS-component patients, the highest proportion was dyslipidemia, followed by hypertension. Among morethan-one-MS-component patients, the combinations, such as hypertriglyceridemia+hypertension+fat abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia+low/high-density lipoprotein+abdominal obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia+low/high-density lipoprotein+hypertension, were higher in proportions than the others.
Conclusion The MS rate of the enterprise population is 16.87%, for which dyslipidemia and hypertension are the important risk factors.
