with mean age of 51.2±9.21 years. There was no
significance difference between the three subgroups
as regard age and sex distribution (p>0.05). These
data are presented in Table (2).
I- Description and comparison between the
study groups:

2- Risk factors:
Every patient was asked about risk factors of
atherosclerosis and special habits of medical importance
and it was found that 25% of group I,
41.7% among group II and 32% among group III
were smokers or ex-smokers, whereas, positive
family history of IHD, CVA or peripheral vascular
disease was found to be 8.3% among group I, 5.9%
among group II and 23% among group III. Past
history of HTN, DM or past history of dyslipidemia
by lipid profile and regular intake of hypolipidemic
drugs were considered among selection criteria for
metabolic syndrome. These data and distribution
of other metabolic risk factors are shown in Table
(2).
3- Clinical examination and laboratory investigations:
All patients underwent clinical examination,
where blood pressure, waist circumference in cm,
height in meters, body weight in kg were measured
and body mass index was calculated and LAB
evaluation of blood sugar and lipid profile. It was
found that systolic and diastolic blood pressures
were higher in group III, TG, female W.C, BMI
and FBS were highest in group II while HDL-C
was lowest in group III. Data are shown in Table
(3).
