| Summary: | Aim. In this study we evaluated the metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence and its structure in Mongolian urban employed population.Material and methods. The prevalence of MetS, defined by IDF (2005), JIS (2009) and modified NCEP ATP III (2004) criteria, was estimated in 1277 Mongolian railway workers (737 men and 540 women) aged 18 years or older.Results. The MetS prevalence by IDF (2005) definition was found to be 36,1% in men and 39,6% in women, by JIS (2009) — in 38,9% and 40,9% and by NCEP ATP III (2004) — in 25,1% and 35,0% respectively. Abdominal obesity was the most common component (58,5% in men and 76,1% in women) as well as a constellation of abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure and high serum triglycerides was the most common variant in MetS structure (51,9% in men and 30,4% in women).Conclusion. Mongolian railway employees were characterized by high rate of MetS, which can be accounted for professional stress and changes in the lifestyle due to urbanization. The highest common components of MetS were found to be abdominal obesity, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. |
