Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic Syndrome comprises a group of risk factors for Cardio vascular disease, Diabetes mellitus and components of Central obesity, Hypertriglyceridemia, Hypertension, low levels of HDL cholesterol and Glucose intolerance. This syndrome is also known as syndrome X. COPD is characterised by obstruction to the airflow that is not fully reversible. Systemic inflammation plays an important role in development of both Metabolic Syndrome and COPD. Aims and objectives: To determine the prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Detailed history was taken and all the patients underwent stage 1, stage 2, Stage 3 and stage 4 COPD respectively. Results: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome was 20%, 53.6 %, 54.5 %, 14.3 % in stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 and stage 4 COPD respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in stage two and three COPD patients was 53.8% and stage 1 and 4 was 18.2% with significant difference between the two groups. So every COPD patient attending Pulmonary Medicine outpatient department must be screened for Metabolic Syndrome particularly in stage two and stage three as they are at increased risk for developing of Metabolic Syndrome. Hypertension, Diabetes and Dyslipidemia were the most common components, so screening for non-communicable diseases which is already implemented in our department should be strengthened to identify COPD patients with undiagnosed Hypertension, Dyslipidemia and Diabetes mellitus.
