Insights
Metabolic syndrome is common in hemodialysis patients, particularly those aged 50-69. Female hemodialysis patients exhibit a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to males.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Metabolic Disorders
Background:
- Metabolic syndrome significantly increases cardiovascular disease risk.
- Hemodialysis patients represent a vulnerable population with high comorbidity rates.
- Understanding age-related metabolic syndrome prevalence in this group is crucial for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the age-specific prevalence of metabolic syndrome in hemodialysis patients.
- To compare the occurrence of metabolic syndrome between male and female hemodialysis patients across different age groups.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of biochemical parameters and demographic data.
- Statistical comparison of metabolic syndrome prevalence based on age and sex.
Main Results:
- Metabolic syndrome prevalence was highest in hemodialysis patients aged 50-69 years.
- Females showed a significantly higher prevalence (65.27%) than males (47.14%).
- Elevated prevalence was noted in males aged 50-59 and females aged 40-69 years.
Conclusions:
- Age and sex are significant factors in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among hemodialysis patients.
- Female hemodialysis patients are disproportionately affected, potentially due to lifestyle factors.
- Findings highlight the need for sex- and age-specific management strategies for metabolic syndrome in this population.
Abstract:
People with metabolic syndrome are at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The present study aimed to determine the age related metabolic syndrome of hemodialysis patients. The biochemical parameters and demographic information were registered. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly high in ages 50-59 and 60-69 years in hemodialysis patients when compared with other age groups (P< 0.05). There was elevated frequency of metabolic syndrome from age 50-59 and 40-49 years in male and female hemodialysis patients, respectively. The frequency of metabolic syndrome in female subjects (65.27%) was higher than male (47.14%, P<0.05). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was high in ages 50-59 years in males and females. There was a significant difference in hemodialysis patients with metabolic syndrome in ages 50-59 years in males and from ages 40-49, 50-59 and 60-69 years in females (P< 0.05). Our results show that 25.71%, 18.57% and 2.86% males and 36.11%, 20.83% and 8.33% females had three, four and five criteria for metabolic syndrome, respectively. The results of this study showed that females patients were more affected than males. This may depended on the specific lifestyle alterations among females and males patients in this area.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
