Conditions: Metabolic Syndrome, Atherosclerosis
Lead sponsor: Korea University
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2012-05-09
Enrollment: 1800
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 20
Maximum age (years): 80
Standard ages: ADULT
OLDER_ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Observational model: COHORT
Time perspective: PROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: Apparently healthy people who underwent medical routine check up in Korea University Helath Promotion Center.

Brief summary: In Asia, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome have been dramatically increased. Therefore, the investigators intend to the collect the blood sample, laboratory, anthropometric, and body composition parameters prospectively to examine the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the investigators will collect the data of carotid IMT and branchial ankle pulse wave velocity to clarify the metabolic risk factors of atherosclerosis.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Apparently healthy people who underwent medical routine check up in Korea Health Promotion Center.
* age \> 20 years

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, or cardiovascular revascularization)
* Stage 2 hypertension
* Severe renal or hepatic disease

Primary outcomes:
measure: The impact of various cardiovascular risk factors (inflammatory markers, hepatokines, adipokines, body composition parameters) for developing metabolic syndrome in prospective design
timeFrame: 36months
Secondary outcomes:
measure: The relationship of various cardiovascular risk factors (inflammatory markers, hepatokines, adipokines, body composition parameters) with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis measured by baPWV and carotid IMT in cross sectional design
timeFrame: 36months
Other outcomes:
Locations:
city: Seoul
country: Korea, Republic of
facility: Korea University Guro Hospital
