Evaluating the Relation between Metabolic Syndrome and its Components with Low Ankle to Brachial Index in an Iranian Population
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between metabolic syndrome and ankle to brachial index (ABI).
This study is a part of Isfahan Cohort study that was conducted in 2009 in 132 patients with and with ought metabolic syndrome. Waist circumference, weight, height, blood pressure and ABI were measured in decubites position by Echo Doppler. Glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. The relationship between ABI and metabolic syndrome was assessed by logistic regression.
From 264 participants, in above 60 years old, in hypertensive patients, ABI was lower in patients with metabolic syndrome than patients without it. Our results showed that low ABI and hypertension had significant relationship in subjects with metabolic syndrome (P < 0.001).•
ABI was lower in subjects with metabolic syndrome. It was significantly related to hypertension in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Therefore measurement of ABI in patients with metabolic syndrome could be useful to determine subclinical atherosclerosis in them.
