Abstract

The aim of the present study was undertaken to investigate the association between diagnostic indices of metabolic syndrome(MetS) with carotid intima-media thickness using ultrasonography. The participants in the study were 315 male employees without carotid atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular disease. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute. Written informed consent for the participants in this study was obtained from all individuals. Anthropometric parameters and biochemical characteristics were done using each specific equipments and the NCEP-ATP III criteria were used to define MetS. They were examined by B-mode ultrasound to measure the carotid intima-media thickness(carotid IMT) at the near and far walls of common carotid and bifurcation(bulb). The mean carotid IMT was $0.739{\pm}0.137\;mm$ and it's thickness significantly increased with the increase in age. Also, amounts of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride and fasting glucose were significantly increased with the increase in age. Carotid IMT were significantly correlated with BMI(r=0.170, p=0.004), systolic(r=0.148, p=0.011) and diastolic blood pressure(r=0.123, p=0.036) and HDL-cholesterol(r=-0.164, p=0.005). On multiple logistic regression analysis for the diagnostic indices of MetS, carotid IMT were significantly associated with blood pressure(OR=4.220, p<0.01) and MetS(OR=1.301, p<0.05). The results indicate that blood pressure and MetS are important risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis.

본 연구의 목적은 대사증후군(MetS) 진단지표와 경동맥 내-중막 두께(carotid IMT)의 관련성을 이해하기 위하여 수행하였다. 연구대상자는 동맥경화와 기타 심혈관계 질환이 없는 남성 근로자 315명으로 하였다. 이 연구는 한국산업안전보건공단 산업안전보건연구원의 생명윤리위원회의 승인을 받은 후, 연구대상자의 동의를 받고 수행하였다. 인체계측과 혈청생화학 항목에 대한 검사는 체성분분석기기와 생화학자동분석 기기를 이용하여 측정하였고, MetS의 진단은 NCEP-ATP III 기준에 의하여 판단하였다. Carotid IMT는 고해상도 B-mode 초음파기기를 이용하여 경동맥 분지점과 근위부의 내-중막 두께를 측정하였다. Carotid IMT는 $0.739{\pm}0.137\;mm$이었고 연령증가와 더불어 유의하게 증가되었다. 또한 수축기 및 이완기혈압, 중성지방 및 공복혈당도 연령증가에 따라 유의한 증가를 보였다. Carotid IMT는 BMI(r = 0.170, p = 0.004), 수축기(r = 0.148, p = 0.011)와 이완기혈압(r = 0.123, p = 0.036) 및 HDL-cholesterol(r = -0.164, p = 0.005)과 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 보였다. MetS 진단지표와 carotid IMT에 대한 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, carotid IMT는 혈압(교차비 = 4.220, p < 0.01)과 MetS(교차비 = 1.301, p < 0.05)과 유의한 관련성을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 혈압과 대사증후군이 죽상동맥경화증의 중요한 위험인자로 작용함을 보여주는 결과라 판단된다.
