Abstract

Background: Recent studies have reported the epidemiological link between Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and asthma, but it has rarely been studied in Egypt. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MS and its predictors among asthma patients in Egypt.

Methods: In total, 320 patients with bronchial asthma were included. The following were assessed: spirometric evaluation, anthropometric indices, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and serum lipid profile. We analyzed the correlation between metabolic scores and patient characteristics. Predictors of MS were identified using logistic regression analysis.

Results: The prevalence of MS was 57.5% in asthma patients. For asthma patients, low High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and abdominal obesity were the commonest metabolic abnormality. Waist circumference, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and triglyceride correlated significantly with asthma (P ‹ 0.05). FBS and DBP were the best predictors of MS.

Conclusion: MS is frequent in asthma patients in Egypt. Obesity and lipid abnormalities were the commonest metabolic abnormality. Screening of these patients for components of metabolic syndrome should be a part of routine workup.

支气管哮喘患者代谢综合征的患病率和预测因素:一项横断面研究。

背景:最近的研究报道了代谢综合征(MS)与哮喘之间的流行病学联系，但很少在埃及进行研究。该研究旨在调查埃及哮喘患者中多发性硬化症的患病率及其预测因素。方法:对320例支气管哮喘患者进行回顾性分析。评估如下:肺活量测定、人体测量指标、血压、空腹血糖和血脂。我们分析了代谢评分与患者特征之间的相关性。采用logistic回归分析确定多发性硬化症的预测因素。结果:哮喘患者MS患病率为57.5%。对于哮喘患者，低高密度脂蛋白(HDL)和腹部肥胖是最常见的代谢异常。腰围、空腹血糖(FBS)、甘油三酯与哮喘有显著相关性(P < 0.05)。FBS和DBP是MS的最佳预测指标。结论:MS在埃及哮喘患者中较为常见。肥胖和脂质异常是最常见的代谢异常。筛查这些患者代谢综合征的组成部分应作为常规检查的一部分。
