Metabolic Syndrome and Subclinical Hypothyroidism: A Type 2 Diabetes-Dependent Association
(Hindawi, 2018)
Introduction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH) is an endocrine alteration that is related to cardiovascular risk factors, including those categorized as components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MS). However, findings in prior reports regarding an association between these alterations are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between both entities in adult subjects from Maracaibo City, Venezuela. Materials and Methods. The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a descriptive, cross-sectional study ...
Biochemical and clinical characterization of metabolic phenotypes: a cross-sectional study from Maracaibo city, Venezuela [version 1; referees: awaiting peer review]
(is published by F1000 Research Ltd, 2018-02)
Background: In 1980, Reuben Andresen observed that in certain individuals,
obesity did not increase mortality, introducing an atypical phenotype called
“healthy obese”. Other studies reported that 10-15 % of lean individuals
presented insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. The objective of
this study was to evaluate biochemical and clinical characteristics of metabolic
phenotypes in Maracaibo city.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a randomized multistage
sampling was performed including 1226 non diabetic ...
Insulin resistance indices and coronary risk in adults from Maracaibo city, Venezuela: A cross sectional study [version 1; referees: 1 approved with reservations]
(is published by F1000 Research Ltd, 2018-03)
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a metabolic disorder related to
atherosclerosis. Its measurement is of great importance not only as a marker of
diabetes but also for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this research study
was to evaluate the relationship between various IR indices and coronary risk in
an adult population from Maracaibo city, Venezuela.
Methods: The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a
descriptive, cross-sectional study with random and multi-stage sampling. In this
sub study, 1272 individuals of ...
Cigarette smoking and metabolic syndrome components: a cross-sectional study from Maracaibo City, Venezuela [version 1; referees: 1 approved with reservations]
(F1000 Research Ltda, 2018-05-22)
Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that cigarette smoking can
cause the onset of metabolic syndrome prior to cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between
smoking habit and metabolic syndrome components in an adult population from
Maracaibo city, Venezuela.
Methods: The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a
descriptive, cross-sectional study with random and multi-stage sampling. In this
sub-study, 2212 adults from both genders were selected. On the ...
