E-poster

Abstract Overview

Background. Metabolic syndrome (MS) increases type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and is associated with age, gender, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, low high-density cholesterol (HDL), high serum triglycerides, elevated fasting glucose levels. Association of physical activity (PA) with MS is unclear.
Purpose: to clarify MS-risk of Estonian women with different PA level and compare results to USA white non-Hispanic population using calculator developed on US population (https://metscalc.org/metscalc/).
Methods. Study groups: physically active (PAW; PA/week >5h; n= 33); controls (CW; PA/week ≤5h). Tools: questionnaire, blood analysis, MS-calculator which considerers all above-mentioned factors. Z-score allows to compare Estonian study groups to US population: “0” – greater risk. Descriptive statistics, t-test or Mann-Whitney test, χ2 test (p-value 0. Considering different scores of studied groups (1); there were more 0, no difference between groups. There were more whose value was <1 (lower risk) in PAW compared to CW (36.4 vs 19.5; p=0.004).
Conclusions. Practical implications. PA slightly reduces risk of MS. Z-scores designed for US population aren`t suitable for Estonian population.
