Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of metabolic abnormalities that has increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Aim: The current study aims for the detection of metabolic syndrome in diabetes patients using three different criteria’s and to identify most sensitive criteria among WHO, IDF and modified NCEP ATP criteria. Methods : The data for this study was collected from 200 patients with diabetes mellitus who presented to the Department of Medicine, Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, Bangalore . A detailed history, clinical examination was done and anthropometric measurements were undertaken and they were subjected to relevant investigations. Subjects were classified into three different groups according to three set of criteria’s for comparison of important variables. Data collected for the study was analysed statistically. Results : Out of total 200 subjects with type 2 diabetes, 185 patients had fulfilled WHO criteria, 189 patients had fulfilled modified NCEP-ATP III criteria’s and 154 patient had fulfilled IDF criteria for metabolic syndrome. 176 patients had fulfilled both WHO and modified NCEP-ATP III CRITERIA’S , 15 patients had fulfilled both modified NCEP-ATP III CRITERIA’S and IDF criteria and 146 patients fulfilled WHO and IDF CRITERIA. Number of male patients were 114(57.0% ) ,and female patient were 86(43.0%), mean age was 57.64 years(p value 0.6) .The mean duration of diabetes is 6.8 yrs. Mean waist hip ratio was 1.03 (p value <0.001) Number of male and female patient diagnosed to have obesity according to WHO criteria are 105 and 80 respectively. With mean waist hip ratio of 1.05 in male and 1.01 in female. The p value for waist to hip ratio is
