OBJECTIVES : The prevalence of the Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is high in developing countries in Asia, such as Mongolia. It is very important to detect and manage early because it causes cardiovascular complications and increases mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk levels of MetS among adults in the Mongolia and to examine their association with body composition and cholesterol indicators. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed in 100 Mongolians (24 men, 76 women), who were ≥20 years old. Body composition was measured using the InBody 270 and blood lipids and glucose were assessed via the Cholestech LDX analyzer. The prevalence of MetS, as defined by modified National Cholesterol Education Programme’s Adult Treatment Panel III criteria (NCEP/ATP III) with Asian cutoffs, was determined. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 46.7±11.8 years old. The mean abdominal circumference and blood pressure were 95.0±13.4cm and 141.4/86.5mmHg, respectively. The mean total cholesterol (193.7mg/dL), triglyceride (162.6mg/dL), HDL-C level (52.1mg/dL), and fasting glucose level (105.6mg/dL) were assessed. A total of 57.0% of subjects who met three or more criteria for MetS were included. Among the five diagnostic criteria of MetS, abdominal circumference (79.0%) was the most common abnormal components followed by high blood pressure (72.0%) and abnormal triglyceride levels (46.0%). Abdominal circumference (100.4 vs. 88.0cm), body fat mass (31.7 vs 23.7 kg), visceral fat area (164.7 vs 125.7 cm2) were higher in subjects with MetS than in those without the MetS. The number of MetS components was significantly related to body weight, BMI, lean mass, body fat mass, visceral fat level, waist-hip ratio, obesity degree. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, adults in Mongolia were found to have a high risk of exposure to MetS and we found that the risk level of MetS was related to body composition and visceral adiposity.
