Abstract

Aims: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its associated factors in adults aged 18 - 69 years old in Ho Chi Minh City.


Methods: A cross-sectional study with 1424 participants (791 women) with a mean age of 44.9 ± 14.7. Age, gender, smoking habits, weight, height, waist circumference, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, glucose, and blood pressure were recorded. MetS was defined by presence of three or more of the following components: abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-cholesterolemia, high blood pressure and high fasting plasma glucose.


Results: The prevalence of MetS was 36.2% (95% CI: 34.0–39.0). Momen had more MetS than men (39.7% and 31.9%). The prevalence of MetS had a statistically significant associated with age and overweight and obesity, in the group of 60-69 year old the highest rate of MetS was 56.7% and in the group of BMI ≥ 30 the prevalence of MetS was highest, up to 71.7%. However, in the group of 18-29 years old, the rate of MetS also accounted for 10.8%. Among the diagnostic components of MetS, hypertriglyceridemia accounted for the highest rate of 51,0%, followed by a decrease in HDL-C 43,4%, increased blood pressure 42,8%, abdominal obesity 38,4% and hyperglycaemia accounted for the lowest rate of 24,2%.


Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS in Ho Chi Minh City is increasing and there is a need for preventive intervention strategies for this population shortly.
