Association between different cardiometabolic risk scales and metabolic syndrome scales in 418.343 spanish workers.

Abstract

[eng] Introduction: Cardiometabolic diseases are currently a public health problem in all countries of the world due to their high prevalence and high morbidity and mortality. Material and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study to assess the association between various cardiometabolic risk scales and metabolic syndrome assessed with three different criteria. Results: Both the mean values and the prevalence of elevated values of the different cardiometabolic risk scales analyzed (atherogenic indices, vascular age, REGICOR and SCORE scales, atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid triad, and diabesity) were higher in persons with metabolic syndrome with any of the criteria. The scales that most increase the risk of presenting metabolic syndrome are the atherogenic indices, AD, LT and diabesity. Conclusions: There is a good relationship between the cardiometabolic risk scales analyzed and metabolic syndrome with any of the three criteria. The variables most associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome are atherogenic indices, atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid triad and diabesity.
