Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the difference between prevalence and risk factors of the metabolic syndrome(MS) by gender in type2 diabetic patients.
Method: 108 participants(males 69, females 39) were recruited from the endocrinology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in an urban city. MS was defined by a third report of the national cholesterol education program (NCEP) expert panel on detection, evaluation , and treatment of high blood cholesterol in adults(Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ)(ATP Ⅲ), and abdominal obesity was determined by Asia- Pacific criteria in waist circumference.
Results: The prevalence of MS by definition of NCEP- ATPⅢ and the Asia-Pacific criteria in waist circumference was 39.3% in males and 66.7% in females type2 diabetic patients. The abdominal obesity prevalence was seen in 44.9% of males and in 79.5% of females patients. The prevalence of low HDL-cholesterolemia in serum was 26.2% in male, 52.8% in female type2 diabetic patients.
Conclusion: These results show that nurses should focus on female diabetic patients for preventing MS.
