ABSTRACT
AIM: To reveal possible associations between metabolic syndrome (MS) and reduced lung function. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In 2013-016, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 908 Novosibirsk dwellers, which included spirometry to evaluate external respiratory function (ERF). For the detection of MS, the investigators used the 2009 All-Russian Research Society of Cardiologists criteria: waist circumference (WC) > 80 cm for women and >94 cm for men in combination with two of the following criteria: blood pressure (BP) ≥130/85 mm Hg, triglycerides (TG) ≥1.7 mmol/l, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol <1.0 mmol/l for men and <1.2 mmol/l for women, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol >3.0 mmol/l, and glucose ≥6.1 mmol/l. RESULTS: The mean values of WC were significantly greater with a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) <80% than those with a FEV1 of ≥80% in both men (p=0.002) and women (p=0.050); in women, the mean values of WS were higher than those with a FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) <70% than those with a FEV1/FVC of ≥70% (p=0.047); the mean systolic and diastolic BP levels were significantly more with reductions in FEV1 and FVC, and the level of HDL cholesterol was significantly lower than that with a FEV1 of < 80% in men only. Significant correlations were found between FEV1 and all components of MS in men, between the majority of components of MS and FVC in men, between WC, BP, and FEV1/FVC in men and women, between plasma glucose levels and FEV1/FVC in women. Linear regression analysis revealed significant inverse correlations of FEV1 with TG, glucose, BP; those of FVC with TG, glucose; at the same time a positive association with HDL cholesterol in men, and only a negative correlation of FEV1/FVC with WC. CONCLUSION: The revealed associations between MS and reduced lung function can most likely be explained by the greater prevalence of both MS and its components (hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, LDL hypercholesterolemia) among Novosibirsk men. This is consistent with the assertion that the decline in ERF, particularly FEV1, may be a marker of future cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.

AIM: To investigate the prevalence of impaired external respiration function (ERF) in young Novosibirsk dwellers. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional population-based survey in one of the typical districts of Novosibirsk was conducted at the Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine in 2013-2015. ERF was examined by spirometry in accordance with the guidelines. The best indicators of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratio were selected and three reproducible attempts were made to evaluate ERF. Spirometry was carried out in 787 respondents (358 males and 429 females) for the entire period. The results were interpreted according to the guidelines of the European Respiratory Society, the American Thoracic Society, and the Russian Respiratory Society. RESULTS: The prevalence of a FEV1/FVC of <70% in the total sample was 10.3% (13.4% for men and 7.7% for women; p=0.009); a FEV1 of <80% was 13.9% (14.5% for men and 13.3% for women; p=0.617); a FVC of <80% was 7% (6.1% for men and 7.7% for women; p=0.397). The obstructive type of ventilation disorders (FEV1/FVC <70%, FVC ≥80%) was recorded in 9.4% of the people, the restrictive type (FVC <80%, FEV1/FVC ≥70%) in 6.1%, and the mixed one (FEV1/FVC <70%, FVC <80%) in 0.9%; normal values (FEV1/FVC ≥70% and FVC ≥80%) were seen in 83.6%. CONCLUSION: Spirometric screening of a young Novosibirsk population demonstrated the incidence of impaired ERF, which is comparable with Russian and foreign data.

AIM: To study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components in a 25-45-year-old Novosibirsk population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The Novosibirsk Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine conducted a cross-sectional population-based survey in one of the typical districts of Novosibirsk in 2013-2015. The survey covered 346 men and 408 women. The criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (NCEP-ATP III, 2001), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF, 2005), the Joint Interim Statement (JIS, 2009), and the All-Russian Research Society of Cardiologists (ARRSC, 2009) were used to detect MS. According to the ARRSC criteria, MS was recorded if a waist circumference (WC) was >80 cm for women and >94 cm for men in conjunction with 2 of the following criteria: a blood pressure ≥130/85 mm Hg, triglycerides (TG) ≥1.7 mmol/l, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol <1.0 mmol/l for men and <1.2 mmol/l for women, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol >3.0 mmol/l, and plasma glucose level ≥6.1 mmol/l. RESULTS: According to the 2009 ARRSC criteria, the prevalence of abdominal obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, HDL hypocholestrolemia, LDL hypercholesterolemia, and high plasma glucose level was 42.6, 33.5, 17.5, 24.3, 64.8, and 29%, respectively. The prevalence of MS in 25-45-year-old Novosibirsk people was 17% (19.9% in men and 14.5% in women) according to the 2001 NCEP-ATP III, 27% (29.5% in men and 24.5% in women) according to the 2005 IDF criteria, 30% (35.8% in men and 25% in women) according to the 2009 JIS criteria, and 29.3% (33.2% in men and 26% in women) according to the 2009 ARRSC criteria, this was higher among men than women. There was an increase in the prevalence of MS with age. CONCLUSION: The highest prevalence of MS was 30 and 29.3% when using the 2009 JIS and the 2009 ARRSC criteria, respectively. Whatever the criterion was used, MS was more frequently recorded in men than women.
