Abstract
UNLABELLED: In recent years, the metabolic syndrome represents a major health problem worldwide, with a great impact in population, and also at individual level, by an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a descriptive study on a lot of 131 patients hospitalized in Cardiovascular Clinic of Rehabilitation Hospital in Iasi, in the period April 2012 - April 2013. RESULTS: In the analyzed group, the largest number of metabolic syndrome cases was recorded in the 50-59 years age group. There were no significant differences between the rural / urban areas (t = 0.113, p = 0.910). Frequency of ischemia was significantly higher in subjects with essential hypertension of IInd and IIIrd degree (Pearson Chi-square test = 3.955, df = 1, p <0.05). Significant differences were observed on females related to obesity and ischemia, meaning that women with higher obesity are predisposed to ischemic events. Regarding the degree of exercise testing and the origin area, no significant differences were registered (Pearson Chi-square test = 13.526, p = 0.004, df= 3). CONCLUSIONS: Our study offers new information on metabolic syndrome, analyzing epidemiological and clinical criteria.
