Abstract

Cardiometabolic syndrome is prevalent in elderly individuals all over the world with high health care burden and various outcomes associated with it.
The American Heart Association/Updated NCEP ATP III (2004) criteria were used by the researchers to make their diagnosis. I increased waist circumference [Men.40 inches (102 cm) and Women.35 inches (88 cm)], (ii) increased triglycerides [150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/l)], (iii) decreased HDL cholesterol [Men.40 mg/dl (1.03 mmol/l) and Women.50 mg/dl (1.29 mmol/l)], (v) elevated blood pressure [130/85 mmHg or higher], MetS is defined as a condition in which a person meets three or more of the defining criteria.
Framingham cardiovascular risk assessment criteria were used to calculate each subject’s Framingham cardiovascular risk assessment. The chance of developing coronary heart disease in the following ten years is determined by these characteristics. Subjects with a score of 10% are deemed low risk, those with a score of 10–20% are considered intermediate risk, and those with a score of more than 20% are considered high risk of getting coronary heart disease in the next ten years.
The study’s main goal was to determine the prevalence and patterns of cardiometabolic disorders in senior people, as well as to measure function outcomes.
The study’s secondary goal was to look at the link between cardiometabolic illnesses, functional status, and quality of life in senior people.
The participants in this study ranged in age from 65.00 to 84.00 years old, with a mean (SD) of 69.865.78 years. There were 54 males (57.00 percent) and 46 females (46.00 percent) among them. Nonsmokers made up 50 percent of the group, smokers made up 32 percent, and ex-smokers made up 18 percent. 73 (73.00%) had hypertension, 68 (68.00%) had diabetes, 9 (9.00%) had dyslipidemia, and 1 (1.00%) had Gout
