Gender differences in changes in metabolic syndrome status and its components and risk of cardiovascular disease: a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to investigate the gender difference in the association between changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) among adult participants in the Tehran lipid and glucose study cohort.

Methods

A total of 4624 adults (aged ≥ 30 years) who participated in two Phases 2 (2002-2005) and 3 (2005-2008) were included and followed up until 2018. Based on the status of MetS and its components in two phases, we divided participants into four groups: MetS-free, MetS-developed, MetS-recovery and MetS-stable groups, and similar categories were defined for MetS components. Multiple Cox regression models were used to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals
