dc.description.abstractBackground: Excess weight and smoking may be the major underlying causes of metabolic syndrome. Methods: Consecutive patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) were studied. Results: Study included 1,620 females and 1,240 males. Prevalences of CHD were similar in both sexes (3.8% versus 4.4%, respectively, p>0.05). Smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were higher in males with CHD (p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively). Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) were higher in females (p= 0.008 and p= 0.002, respectively). Hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) were higher in females, too (p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively). WCH was also higher in females, but the difference was nonsignificant probably due to the small sample sizes (p>0.05). Although body weight of males with CHD was significantly higher (79.1 versus 74.4 kg, p= 0.027), females had a higher BMI value (29.7 versus 28.3kg/m2, p>0.05), but the difference was nonsignificant probably due to the above reason again. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is a systemic atherosclerotic process mainly caused by aging, excess weight, and smoking. Smoking and excess weight come with a similar degree of clinical severity. CHD, as a major consequence of the syndrome, is seen with similar prevalences in both sexes with the higher prevalence of smoking in males against the higher prevalences of BMI and its consequences including LDL-C, TG, WCH, HT, and DM in females. Although body weight is higher in males, BMI and its consequences are higher in females, thus BMI should be preferred to determine excess weight rather than weight alone.en_US
