The prevalence of hyperglycemia, as a component of the metabolic syndrome, in men of an open population of Siberian city (epidemiological study)

Aim. To determine glucose levels and the prevalence of hyperglycemia, as a component of metabolic syndrome (MS), among men of an open population of 25-64 years of Siberian city.Material and methods. The study of the prevalence of MS and its components was carried out following a cardiological screening of men aged 25-64 years of Western Siberia city (Tyumen). In order to conduct a single-step epidemiological study using the “random numbers” method, a representative sample of 1000 people was formed among men 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 years of Tyumen, the response was 85,2%. Hyperglycemia was taken into account according to the criteria of the metabolic syndrome by NCEPATPIII (2004), IDF (2005), Russian Society of Cardiology (RSC) (2009). The distribution of quantitative parameters in the population was assessed using a percentile analysis. Results. An average glucose level was established for men of 25-64 years old in Tyumen (4,9±0,8 mmol/l). In participants of 35-44 and 55-64 years, a significant increase in glucose levels was determined. The prevalence of hyperglycemia was 174% according to the same NCEPATP, IDF assessment criteria, 77% — according to the RSC criteria. A consistent age-related trend in the prevalence of hyperglycemia was formed in 3 decades of 25-54 years diapason.Conclusion. The presented regional features of glucose levels and the prevalence of hyperglycemia should be taken into account when developing a strategy for the prevention of cardiovascular and other non-infectious diseases in Siberian cities
