| Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of smoking andmetabolic syndrome (Metabolic syndrome, MS) among male Uygur and Kazak adultslived in Xinjiang. Methods: Four-stage selected random samples Maternal Age35andover were used to analyze the prevalence and the relationship between the riskfactors of smoking and metabolic syndrome. The sampled adult population werecollected6locality (Urumqi,Ke lamayi, Fu kang, the Turfan Basin locality, He tianlocality, Yi li Kazakh autonomous prefecture)from23municipalities and7locality and5autonomous county in Xin Jiang. The samples of our research were recruited frommale of Uygur and Kazakh. Each individual answered a questionnaire, received physicalexamination, and biochemical indicator survey. To investigate the patients who weresmoking into two groups: one were complicated with metabolic syndrome and theother not. A logistic regression analysis was also made to identify possible risk factorsand their powers on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome complicated with smoking.Results: A total of4019adults were surveyed. To divided the two nations withwhether has the habit of smoking into two groups: the smokers of Uygur were869,and the smokers of Kazakh were1114. The prevalence of MS in Uygur smokers was24.74%and29.62%in Kazakh. For Uygur non-smoker was16.75%and24.72%forKazakh. The comparison of baseline information shows that in Uygur male the mean ofDiastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, triglyceride in smoker group were higherthan nonsmoker group (P<0.05).; and in Kazakh male the mean of Systolic bloodpressure, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference were higher than nonsmokergroup (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the OR value of smoking was 1.698(95%CI1.129~2.553) in Uygur and1.845(95%CI1.544~2.206)in Kazakh of MS.Conclusion: The prevalence of MS was higher in male smoking than non-smoking inUygur and Kazakh, maybe smoking was one of the risks for MS. |
