Öğe Analysis of all-cause mortality and coronary events in the Turkish Adult Risk Factor Survey 2005(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2006) Onat, Altan; Karabulut, Ahmet; Esen, Ali Metin; Uyarel, Huseyin; Ozhan, Hakan; Albayrak, Sinan; Keles, IbrahimObjectives: To analyze all-cause and coronary mortality as well as newly diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) in the cohort of the Turkish Adult Risk Factor Study which was surveyed in the summer of 2005 and included individuals residing essentially in the regions of Marmara and Central Anatolia. Study design: Information on the mode of death was obtained from first-degree relatives and/or health personnel of local health offices. Diagnosis of coronary heart disease was based on history, physical examination, and 12-lead electrocardiograms. New coronary events were defined as those that developed after the last survey, including fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, stable angina and/or myocardial ischemia. Results: Of 1646 participants, 1078 subjects (mean age 54.8 +/- 11.8 years) were examined; information alone was gathered for 507 subjects; 43 subjects (28 men, 15 women) had died, and 18 subjects were lost to follow-up. Incorporation of 3104 person-years of follow-up raised the total follow-up of the survey to 42,600 personyears. Twenty-three deaths were classified as CHD-related. New coronary events were identified in 37 participants. Annual mortality and coronary mortality rates were 13.9 and 7.4 per 1000 adults, respectively. Overall mortality per 1000 person-years was 16.3 in rural areas and 12.0 in urban areas. The high share of coronary deaths among all deaths persisted. In the age bracket of 45 to 74 years, overall mortality declined to 10.6 (p= 0.09) and coronary mortality to 5.5 per 1000 person-years, thus supporting the presence of a consistently decreasing trend of all-cause mortality and coronary mortality. Estimated fatal and nonfatal new coronary events appeared to be high with 18 per 1000 person-years. Conclusion: A rising trend persists in the incidence of coronary mortality and its share in overall mortality as well as in new coronary events. The occurrence of coronary deaths among women seems to be gradually shifting to older ages.Öğe Association between mild renal dysfunction and insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome in a random nondiabetic population sample(Karger, 2007) Onat, Altan; Hergenc, Gulay; Uyarel, Huseyin; Ozhan, Hakan; Esen, A. Metin; Karabulut, Ahmet; Albayrak, SinanAims: The association of mild renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 60-89.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) with insulin resistance (IR) or metabolic syndrome (MS) needs be investigated in a population in which MS prevails. Methods: After excluding subjects with diabetes mellitus, 1,678 subjects from a representative cohort (median age 52 years) were studied cross sectionally. eGFR was based on serum creatinine concentrations using the quadratic GFR equation and categorized by 90 and 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) as limits. MS was identified using the modified criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel-III. Results: In men, whereas MS was not significantly associated with a reduced eGFR category when controlled for homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), HOMA adjusted for MS or for its components was significantly associated with the likelihood of a reduced eGFR. This likelihood was increased by 14% with a doubling of HOMA in men. Age was the dominant correlate of reduced eGFR in women, whereby an association with HOMA was not significant. Conclusion: Mildly impaired kidney function is common in nondiabetic adults among whom MS prevails, and in men it is mainly associated with IR but not with central obesity and MS-related dyslipidemia. The quadratic GFR equation enables an acceptable estimation of GFR in a general population. Copyright (c) 2007 S.

Study design: The study included a cohort of 3267 individuals (1607 men, 1660 women; mean age 52 +/- 12 years) whose waist circumferences were measured at least one time in the past three surveys of the Turkish Adult Risk Factor Study from 2000 to 2004. Cardiovascular disease was diagnosed on the basis of the presence of angina history, the Minnesota coding of resting electrocardiograms, and a history of stroke. Criteria of the NCEP ATP III guidelines proposed for metabolic syndrome were adopted for defining abdominal obesity and hypertension. Results: Out of every four adults aged 50 years or above, one man and three women had abdominal obesity. The prevalence of abdominal obesity did not exhibit marked changes among geographic regions. Coexistence of 3-5 risk factors in subjects with abdominal obesity showed a significantly higher proportion than other clusters of risk factors (p<0.001). All of the six risk factors studied exhibited significant and independent associations with abdominal obesity in women, whereas in men, only smoking, low HDL-C levels, and hypertension were independent factors. In contradistinction to men, there was an over three-fold adjusted likelihood of diabetes to accompany abdominal obesity in women, with hypercholesterolemia significantly clustering with both. While abdominal obesity conferred an increased likelihood of coronary heart disease through mediation of five risk factors in women, it was found as a residual independent component in men. Conclusion: According to the NCEP ATP III criteria, abdominal obesity is three times more prevalent among Turkish women than in men. The female-specific combination of abdominal obesity, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia may partly contribute to the comparatively high risk for cardiovascular disease in Turkish women. This study needs a re-evaluation of the role of abdominal obesity in Turkish men with a threshold of >= 96 cm, which was previously proposed by the authors.Öğe Determinants and definition of abdominal obesity as related to risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and coronary disease in Turkish men(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2007) Onat, Altan; Uyarel, Huseyin; Hergenc, Gulay; Karabulut, Ahmet; Albayrak, Sinan; Can, GunayWe aimed to investigate determinants of abdominal obesity and its clinical impact on metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes (DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. Methods: Prospective evaluation of 1638 male participants (aged 48.5 +/- 12.3), representative of Turkey's men who have a high prevalence of MS. For components of MS, criteria of NCEP guidelines were adopted, modified for abdominal obesity. Follow-up constituted 9650 person-years. Results: Insulin level (relative risk [RR] 1.40 for doubling), C-reactive protein (CRP) and heavy smoking (protective) were independent predictors of newly developing abdominal obesity. High triglyceride and low HDL-cholesterol were significantly associated already with waist girth quartile II, apolipoprotein B with quartile III. Waist girth significantly predicted future MS from quartile II on, independent of insulin resistance (IR) by homeostatic model assessment, whereby its hazard ratio (HR, 2.6) exceeded double that of HOMA. CRP independently predicted MS. Age-adjusted HR of waist girth (1.59) was significant in predicting DM. Age- and smoking-adjusted top waist quartile conferred significant risk for incident CHD (RR 1.71) but not for overall mortality. As judged by sensitivity and specificity rates for future CHD, DM and MS, abdominal obesity was most appropriately defined with a waist girth of >= 95 cm, and an action level 1 of >= 87 cm was proposed for MS in this population. Conclusions: Serum insulin, CRP levels and (inversely) heavy smoking are predictors for abdominal obesity in Turkish men. Atherogenic dyslipidemia and elevated blood pressure are associated significantly already with modest rises in waist girth adjusted for age and smoking. Abdominal obesity shows substantial independence of IR in the development of MS. Increasing waist girth was predictive of MS, more strongly than of DM. Risk for CHD imparted by abdominal obesity is essentially mediated by risk factors it induces. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Metin; Karabulut, Ahmet; Can, GunayObjectives: To investigate the prevalence of mild renal dysfunction and its association with insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome (MS) or its components among Turkish adults. Methods: Serum creatinine concentrations were measured in 1048 male and female subjects. After excluding cases with diabetes mellitus, 933 participants of a representative cohort were studied cross-sectionally. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated based on serum creatinine concentrations using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. GFR was divided into 3 categories constituting chronic kidney disease stages 2 and 3 3. MS was identified by modified criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel-III. Results: MS existed in 38.7% of the cohort. Mild renal dysfunction (estimated GFR 60 to 89.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) existed in 50% of the study sample in both genders. Compared to the group with normal GFR, in category II, age-adjusted estimates of body mass index, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, blood pressures, total, HDL-, LDL-cholesterol and serum proteins were all significantly elevated in both genders, as were apo B and log TSH in women alone. Stated variables were also significantly and inversely correlated with GFR. Whereas MS was not significantly associated with GFR categories, nor with reduced GFR when controlled for HOMA, HOMA D adjusted for MS as well as for sex, age and systolic BP-was significantly associated with likelihood for reduced GFR. Conclusions: Mild impairment of kidney function is very common in nondiabetic middle-aged and elderly adults, is associated mainly with IR and related cardiovascular risk factors, in the absence of MS-related atherogenic dyslipidemia. IR is important even in mild reduction in GFR, an action independent of central obesity-related components of MS.
