Serum ferritin levels and the development of metabolic syndrome and its components: a 6.5-year follow-up study

摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between changes in serum ferritin concentrations and development metabolic syndrome (MetS) its components over a 6.5 year follow-up period Finnish adults. Adults born Pieksamaki, Finland, 1942, 1947, 1952, 1957, 1962 (n = 1294) were invited health checkups 1997 1998 2003 2004. All required variables for both available from 691 (53%) subjects (289 men 402 women). MetS defined by National Cholesterol Education Program criteria. During 6.5-year period, 122 (18%) developed incident cases MetS. Increases levels significantly higher women with compared without (p 0.04, p 0.03). Also, increased less whom criteria resolved during 0.01). lower glucose criterion resolved, waist 0.01 <0.001, respectively). Serum decreased more triglyceride There clear significant correlation change level circumference <0.01). In addition, correlations plasma as well strongly positive <0.001). negative high density cholesterol women. 6,5 year are associated Whereas, increases same timeframe resolution hypertriglyceridemia hyperglycemia positively correlated
