Author Affiliations

Abstract

Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of abdominal obesity (AO) among populations of 45–69 years in Novosibirsk; to study indicators of the metabolic syndrome (MS) components at people with obesity. Materials and Methods: 9360 people including 4268 men (45.6 %) and 5094 women (54.4 %) have been surveyed in the period from 2003 to 2005 in the screening population. The response rate was 61 %. The waist circumference (WC) ≥ 102 cm for men and ≥ 88 cm for women have been considered as the AO criteria according to NCEP ATP III, 2001 and WC ≥  94 cm in men and ≥  80 cm in women according to the definitions of MS IDF, 2005. Results: Average value of the WC in female population was 92 с?, in the man?s it is reliably less ? 94 ??. The reliable growth of average sizes (WC) has been revealed with age both among men and among women with the maximum values in group of ??65 years. The AO prevalence was 43?% by criteria of NCEP ATP III, 2001 and 67?% by criteria of IDF, 2005. The MS components prevalence in a cohort was significantly higher, than among people without AO. Conclusions: the WC average values among women in population was higher than recommended AO criteria. The high prevalence of AO in Novosibirsk by all criteria of MS has been revealed. The MS components prevalence was higher among people with AO.

м, in the man’s it is reliably less – 94 см. The reliable growth of average sizes (WC) has been revealed with age both among men and among women with the maximum values in group of ≥ 65 years. The AO prevalence was 43 % by criteria of NCEP ATP III, 2001 and 67 % by criteria of IDF, 2005. The MS components prevalence in a cohort was significantly higher, than among people without AO. Conclusions: the WC average values among women in population was higher than recommended AO criteria. The high prevalence of AO in Novosibirsk by all criteria of MS has been revealed. The MS components prevalence was higher among people with AO.
