ABSTRACT
Objective: To Study the association of cerebrovascular disease with metabolic syndrome. Methods: A Total 104 patients were included in this study & investigated for cerebrovascular disease associated with metabolic syndrome or not. A study of presence or absence of metabolic syndrome in cerebrovascular disease was done. P value was calculated by using analysis of variance test (ANOVA) & P value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Total 104 patients were included in this study in 72 patients (69.23%) were suffering from metabolic syndrome and 32 patient (30.77%) were not suffering from metabolic syndrome. Most of the patients suffering from cerebrovascular disease associated with metabolic syndrome were of older age groups (61.11%)>61 years. Second most common group was (22.22%) 51-60 years. Other patients of cerebrovascular disease not suffering from metabolic syndrome (56.25%) in 51-60 years followed by (31.25%) in 41-50 years. Amongst the patients suffering from cerebrovascular accident and metabolic syndrome males outnumbered females, although this data is not statistically significant p=0.4. Among the Cerebrovascular accident patient group prevalence was highest therefore raised fasting blood sugar (n=58) (80.55%) and low HDL values (75.2%), whereas it was highest for Hypertension (88.89%). In the cerebrovascular accident group out of total 104 patients 72%(n=72) were suffering from metabolic syndrome and 30.77%(n=32) were not suffering from metabolic syndrome there is positive correlation between metabolic syndrome and cerebrovascular accident .Using Test for equality for proportion (zscore) this data is found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: In cerebrovascular accident group (total patients =104) 67.5%(n=108) were having 3 risk factors, 50%(n=80) were having 4 risk factors and 11.25%(n=18) were having 5 risk factors of metabolic syndrome among the cases .Among the patients suffering from cerebrovascular accident (total patients =104) the prevalence of hypertension was 88.89%(n=64),of low HDL was 75.2%(n=54),of high TGs was 80.55%(n=58),of raised waist circumference was 58.32%(n=42) and of increased fasting blood sugar was 80.55%(n=58) in the case group.
