Objectives.
We determine the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in an urban population of Zanjan, a province located to the west of Tehran.
Methods.
Randomly selected adults >20 years were studied using stratified sampling.
Target study sample was 2941 (1396 males and 1545 females).
Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed using Adult Treatment Panel-III (ATP-III) guidelines when any three of the following were present: central obesity, raised triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure ≥130/≥85 mm Hg, and diabetes or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥100 mg/dl.
Results.
Metabolic syndrome was present in 697 (23.7%) subjects (CI 95%:22%–25%, P = .001), prevalence was 23.1% in men and 24.4% in women (P : .4).
The prevalence increased from 7.5% in the population younger than 30 y to 45.6% in ages more than 50 years.
Low HDL was the most common metabolic abnormality in both sexes.
Most of those with metabolic syndrome had three components of the syndrome (75.6%), 170 subjects (24.4%) had four and none had five components simultaneously.
The prevalence of obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m2), hypercholesterolemia (≥200 mg/dl) and high LDL cholesterol (≥130 mg/dl) was greater in the metabolic syndrome group than normal subjects (P = .00).
Conclusions.
There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this urban population of the northern west of Iran.
Focus of cardiovascular prevention should be undertaken in this area.
