OP-003 Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment: Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Versus Metabolic Syndrome Criteria




Objective


As finding at risk subjects based on the presence of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is time consuming for physicians, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to MetS criteria in identifying high-risk individuals.




Methods


Isfahan Cohort Study was a longitudinal population-based study that was conducted on adults aged 35 years or older, living in three districts in central part of Iran. After 10 years of follow-up, participants were re-evaluated using a standard protocol similar to the baseline. The hazard ratio (HR) for cardiovascular disease events among the participants based on TG/HDL-C, sex-specific cut-off points, and MetS were also estimated.
