This research investigates how metabolic disorders contribute to the metabolic syndrome differently in men and women.
Used hierarchical classification statistical method to analyze data from 3,508 individuals aged 35-64.
Classified subjects into similarity groups based on clinical and biological parameters.
Data derived from a cardiovascular disease survey.
14% of women and 15% of men were classified with metabolic syndrome.
Women showed significantly higher contributions from body weight (Z-score: 1.59 vs. 1.29, p < 0.005) and waist girth (Z-score: 1.62 vs. 1.30, p < 0.001).
Men had significant higher contributions from systolic blood pressure (0.59 vs. 0.95, p < 0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure (0.55 vs. 0.99, p < 0.0001).
