Abstract: Objective To explore the main epidemiological characters of metabolic syndrome among urban and rural community population in economy developed regions.Methods Based on the data of two community population from Chinese Multicenter Cardiovascular Health Cooperative Project,the distribution characters of metabolic syndrome and its clinic polymorphism of aggregation of main signs were analysed.Results The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among urban community population was higher than rural community population(30.5%:18.1%);The prevalence among the male was lower than the female(19.3%:28.0%);The prevalence was rising with age.Among the five diagnostic standards,WC,TG and HDL-C all accounted for more than 80%;hypertension accounted for 71.1%;GLU accounted for 35.8%.Among the patients with metabolic syndrome,who had all of the five diagnostic standards accounted for 10.3%,who had four diagnostic standards accounted for 30.2%,who had three diagnostic standards accounted for(59.5%).Among the signs of metabolic syndrome,the aggregative proportion of WC,TG,HDL-C and WC,TG,HDL-C,hypertension was higher,the aggregative proportion of HDL-C,GLU,hypertension;TG、HDL-C,GLU,hypertension;TG,GLU,hypertension;WC,TG,GLU;WC,HDL-C,GLU was lower.Conclusion The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among urban and rural community population in economy developed regions had reached higher level.Among the signs of metabolic syndrome,if WC existed,it was easier to aggregate for other risk factors.The analysis of clinic polymorphism suggested,WC,TG and HDL-C seemed to constitute the core signs of metabolic syndrome.
