UNASSIGNED: The cross-sectional study enrolled 589 participants from public hospitals in nine major cities who completed a detailed questionnaire on health, diet, and lifestyle. Anthropometric measurements and some clinical parameters were measured.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicated a significant prevalence of MtS (37.5%) among participants from the Qassim Area, which was higher in males (39.9%) than females (34.9%). Nevertheless, a significant prevalence was shown for CVD risk factors among participants, with hyperglycemia (78.1%), hypertriglyceridemia (39.0%), hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia (38.9%), and hypertension (21.6%) being common. The AIP\'s performance in identifying CVD risk factors showed a receiver operating characteristic value of 0.909 (P < 0.001). The optimal cutoff value for the AIP was determined to be 0.468, demonstrating high sensitivity (84.8%) and specificity (78.6%).
UNASSIGNED: Incorporating AIP into clinical practice could enhance CVD risk prediction compared to using lipid profiles alone. These findings suggest that there is a high prevalence of MtS among adults in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Further longitudinal studies are needed to recommend AIP as a robust tool for predicting CVD in clinical settings.
这项横断面研究招募了来自9个主要城市公立医院的589名参与者,他们完成了一份关于健康的详细问卷,饮食,和生活方式。测量人体测量和一些临床参数。
■研究结果表明,在卡西姆地区的参与者中,MtS的患病率很高(37.5%),男性(39.9%)高于女性(34.9%)。然而,参与者中CVD危险因素的患病率显著,高血糖(78.1%),高甘油三酯血症(39.0%),hypo-HDL-胆固醇血症(38.9%),和高血压(21.6%)是常见的。AIP在识别CVD危险因素方面的表现显示接收器工作特征值为0.909(P<0.001)。AIP的最佳截断值被确定为0.468,表明高灵敏度(84.8%)和特异性(78.6%)。
■与单独使用血脂相比,将AIP纳入临床实践可以提高CVD风险预测。这些发现表明,沙特阿拉伯Qassim地区的成年人中MtS的患病率很高。需要进一步的纵向研究来推荐AIP作为在临床环境中预测CVD的可靠工具。
