摘要

Purpose

This study aims to measure metabolic biomarkers and to determine the prevalence of nutrition- related metabolic diseases in an immigrant population residing in Athens, Greece.

Materials and methods

The study included 393 participants over 18 years of age from whom blood samples and anthropometric data were collected in a cross-sectional (point-prevalence) design. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to analyze the independent risk factors for metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome, high waist circumference, hypertension, hyperglycemia, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia).

Results

This study indicated a considerable prevalence of general obesity (28.2%), high waist circumference (27,5%), hypertriglyceridemia (18,8%) and metabolic syndrome (10,7%), followed by diabetes, hyperglycemia and hyperuricemia.

Conclusions

Further studies are required to investigate nutritional and lifestyle risk factors and provide effective preventive strategies for the nutrition-related metabolic disorders in immigrants.
