| Popis: | Introduction: Components of the metabolic syndrome (MetSy) have gone through myriad of changes ever since the initial cluster was defined. The Seven Countries Study taught us the basics of classical risk factors for atherosclerotic artery disease and their influence on both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Material and Methods: In a 3-continent, 7-country (USA, Japan, Greece, the Netherlands, Finland, Italy, and former Yugoslavia then, now Croatia and Serbia) sample of 12,763 participants -- all healthy men over 40 at entry -- systematic, quinquennial checkups were conducted over 4 decades and MetSy was defined using the IDF definition. ResultS: A total of 9,09% of participants were identified to have MetSy, while the detailed description of risk factors' combination is shown in Table 1 and Figure 1, below. Conclusion: The leading combination was hypertension (HTA), diabetes (DM) and dyslipidemia (HLP), while hypertension was the hallmark risk factor irrelevant of presence or absence of MetSy. The results of this study call for a contemporary comprehensive research involving both sexes that could elucidate better real life risk factors' relationships in aforementioned countries. |
