Metabolic Syndrome and Smoking Relationship: Research Article ; Metabolik Sendrom ve Sigara İlişkisi: Araştırma Makalesi

Introduction: Mets a major public health problem due to its high frequency and associated morbidity, mortality. Lifestyle and habits have important role in the etiology of this syndrome. Cigarette smoking is very common in the world. The main goal of this study is to investigate the effect of smoking on metabolic syndrome. Method: Prospective, made as a cross-sectional study, 92 smokers, 94 non-smoker total 186 patients, who met criteria for Mets, were included.sociodemographic characteristics of the patients were recorded. Patients’ weight (kg), height (cm), BMI (weight (kg) / neck (m2), waist circumference (cm), hip circumference (cm), waist to hip ratio circumference parameters were measured. After resting for at least 10 minutes, all patients blood pressures were measured and ECG’s were taken. In ECG heart rate, PR and QTc interval were calculated. All patients blood samples were taken after 12 hours of fasting. From the received blood serum glucose, urea, creatinine, lipid panel, uric acid, hsCRP, fibrinogen, insulin, hemogram, sedimentation rate were measured. By the method of Framingham CAD risk scoring, patients 10 years risk of CAD was calculated. Results: Who have smoking habit waist circumference, fasting blood sugar and heart rate was detected significantly lower (P<0,005). This positive significant decrease was observed more pronounced in women. In smokers lower levels of HDL, higher PR distance and WBC values were observed as the negative part (P<0.05). A statistically significant decrease in HDL levels in men was observed (P<0,05). For PR distance a significant increase in women was observed (P<0,05).A significant difference was not observed in TG, CRP, blood pressure, fibrinogen, HOMA index, the QT interval between the two groups(P>0,05). Conclusion: Considering the effects of smoking in terms of metabolic syndrome, smoking was thought as protective in both sexes but particularly for women. It will be considered that clinically and statistically significant values about metabolic ...
