Aim. To study VAI as diagnostic marker for MS and its usefulness for prognosis of cardiovascular complications development in MS comparing to other common antropometric parameters (WR, BMI, WR/HR, WR/height, TG/HDL). Material and methods. Totally 301 person included (148 men, 153 women). All participants undewent anthropometry, BP measurement, fasting glucose, lipid profile, adiponectine. At second stage (follow-up) the participants were divided into two groups depending on end-points: first group had cardiovascular complications (CHD, MI, cardiovascular disease), second group — DM 2 type. MS was assessed with IDF (2005).Results. MS was found in 108 respondents (35,9%). Significant positive correlations were found between VI and BP, fasting glucose, LDL; negative — with VAI and adiponectine. Significant predictors for MS dignosis were WR/height, TG/HDL and VAI (p<0,0001). By the results of multiple regression VAI, WR/height and adiponectine were independent factors of cardiovascular risk in MS; and risk factors for DM 2 type were VAI, TG/HDL, adiponectine.Conclusion. VAI proved its diagnostic reliability in MS diagnostics, as in cardiovascular risk prognosis of MS. Further studies required with longer follow-up period and various patient groups.
