Methods:This study included 168 PA patients who were hospitalized in hypertension treatment center of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People' Hospital, including 94 male patients and 74 female patients and the backgrounds and biochemical parameters of two groups were compared. Based on this, the relationship between BMI, age and MetS were also analyzed. Results:The prevalence of MetS was significantly higher in male patients with PA than female patients with PA(83.0% vs 58.1%,P<0.001). Compared to PA patients without MetS, PA patients with MetS had a higher level of BMI and greater prevalence of obesity (P<0.05). According to the BMI stratification analysis, we found the prevalence of MetS was higher in obese groups than non-obese groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the obese male patients with PA had higher prevalence of every component of MetS and prevalence of MetS with 5 metabolic factors compared to the non-obese group (P<0.05);while the obese female patients with PA only had higher prevalence of abdominal obesity compared to the non-obese group (P<0.001). Among the patients classified by age, the both prevalence of MetS was higher in male than female, and there was no male:female ratio inverted in patients with PA after menopause. Conclusions:The prevalence of MetS in male patients with PA was higher than female patients with PA. In addition, the obese groups had the higher prevalence of MetS than non-obese groups.展开更多
