Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) incidence is high in Asian-Indian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), increasing from 2004-2019. Central obesity and dyslipidemia were more common in women, while hypertension was more prevalent in men.

Area Of Science

  • Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • Diabetes Mellitus Research
  • Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Background

  • Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
  • Understanding the trends in MetS incidence among diverse populations is crucial for public health initiatives and clinical management.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To assess the changing trends in MetS incidence in Asian-Indian patients newly diagnosed with T2D.
  • To evaluate MetS and its components using NCEP-ATP III, WHO, and IDF criteria.
  • To examine gender-wise patterns of MetS incidence and its components over time.

Main Methods

  • Retrospective observational study of 10,950 newly diagnosed T2D patients from 2004-2019.
  • MetS incidence assessed using NCEP-ATP III, WHO, and IDF criteria across three time periods (2004-2008, 2009-2013, 2014-2019).
  • Statistical analysis included Chi-square tests and ANOVA to compare incidence and gender-wise patterns.

Main Results

  • Overall MetS incidence was 80.9% (NCEP-ATP III), 65.4% (WHO), and 69.8% (IDF).
  • A steady increase in MetS incidence was observed from 2004 to 2019.
  • Central obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were the most prevalent components, with increasing trends over time. Women showed higher central obesity and dyslipidemia; men had higher hypertension.

Conclusions

  • MetS is highly prevalent in Asian-Indian patients with newly diagnosed T2D, with a significant increasing trend observed.
  • NCEP-ATP III criteria identified a higher incidence of MetS compared to WHO and IDF criteria.
  • Targeted lifestyle interventions and pharmacological management are recommended to mitigate MetS risks.

Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
Insulin remains the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with type 1 and many...
