Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is one of the clinical outcomes of metabolic syndrome (MS). We observed 201 patients with MS during 10 years. At the study end-point 144 (71.9%) of them developed DM2. The study aimed at evaluating effect of initial parameter of MS on the rate of DM2 development. Results of correlation analysis show that the rate of DM2 development depends in the first place on the patients' age, severity of abdominal obesity, vicious habits and their combination with disturbed lipid metabolism, sympatho-adrenal disbalance , and arterial hypertension rather than on disordered carbohydrate metabolism at the onset of the disease.
