History of Changes
  Purpose

In Asia, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome have been dramatically increased. Therefore, the investigators intend to the collect the blood sample, laboratory and anthropometric parameters prospectively to examine the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the investigators will collect the data of carotid IMT and branchial ankle pulse wave velocity to clarify the metabolic risk factors of atherosclerosis.

Further study details as provided by Korea University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The impact of various cardiovascular risk factors(inflammatory markers, hepatokines, adipokines) for developing metabolic syndrome in prospective design [ Time Frame: 36months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The relationship of various cardiovascular risk factors(inflammatory markers, hepatokines, adipokines) with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis measured by baPWV and carotid IMT in cross sectional design [ Time Frame: 36months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
