The effect of therapeutic life style on serum FFA and constitution index in patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the level of serum free fatty acid (FFA )after improving the life style in patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome and the effect of therapeutic life style on traditional risk factors of coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 395 patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome were recruited.Pa-tients were divided into intervention group (group A,conventional drug therapy+ intensive life style intervention,n=97)and non-intervention group (group B,conventional drug therapy,n=38)according to the scores of life style.Serum free fatty acid (FFA) was determined by ELASA.The scores of life style was obtained bylife style questionnaire.Results (1)The serum FFA of pa-tients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome were positively related to waist circumference and waist-high-ra-tio.(2)Waist circumference,BMI and FFA of group A were significantly lower than those in group B after therapeutic life style in-tervention(P <0.05).(3)Compared with the baseline,the constitution index and FFA in group A were significantly lower after 6-months therapeutic life style intervention(P <0.05).Conclusion Therapeutic life style can reduce the level of FFA and constitution index of the patients with coronary heart disease complicated metabolic syndrome.
