METABOLIC SYNDROME AMONG YAKUTIA'S INDIGENOUS FEMALE POPULATION

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and structure of metabolic syndrome among the indigenous female population (n=628) of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The screening survey was conducted among the female population of 2 districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the age of 20 and older (Oimyakonsky, Gorny, Tattinsky). IDF metabolic syndrome was established in 142 women, thus prevalence was at 22.6%. The most common variant of the clinical manifestations of metabolic syndrome was a combination of abdominal obesity with high blood pressure and dyslipidemia (in 62.7% of cases). The dynamics of the frequency of metabolic disorders in different age groups suggests that abdominal obesity is the main pathogenetic factor contributing to the development of a chain of metabolic disorders in a given population.
