Association between risk factors of metabolic syndrome with lung function
Keywords:
metabolic syndrome, forced expiratory volume, forced vital capacityAbstract
Introduction: Increased evidence suggests that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is correlated with lung function impairment. This study aimed to explore the associations between MetS risk factors and the lung function. Material and Method: This is a prospective, observational, descriptive study conducted among patients attending at Tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of 1 year. Inclusion criteria: Either gender above the age of 18 years who fulfilled the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria for Metabolic Syndrome to evaluate pulmonary function test (Spirometry) abnormalities. Results: A total of 60 participants (41 males) were included in the study. The characteristics of the eligible subjects stratified by gender and the presence of metabolic syndrome. The BMI, SBP, DBP, waist circumference was statically significant between male and female (all of the parameters, p<0.05). Fasting Blood glucose, Total Cholesterol, Serum triglycerides, CRP, serum uric acid, and serum total bilirubin statically significant between male and female (all of the parameters, p<0.05). Pulmonary function tests, such as FEV1, FEV1 % predicted, FVC, FVC1 % predicted and FEV1/FVC ratio were statically significant among male and female.
