Metabolic syndrome: The role of psychiatrists

Synonyms of Metabolic Syndrome

  • Metabolic Syndrome (MS)
  • Insulin Resistance Syndrome (IRS)
  • Syndrome X (Metabolic), Deadly Quartet
  • Dysmetabolic Syndrome, Beer belly syndrome
  • Cardiometabolic Syndrome
  • Pleuri Metabolic Syndrome
  • ICD Code # 277.7

Chronology of Events

  • Eskil Kylin 1923 – HT,  Glucose,  UA
  • Reaven 1988 – named Syndrome X (IR)
  • WHO definition-1998 – Metabolic syndrome
  • NCEP-ATP III – 2001 – MS – strong CV Risk
  • First World Congress on IRS – Nov 2003
  • Second World Congress on IRS – 2004
  • 2005 Quarrel about the word “syndrome”
  • New IDF definition 2006 – consensus

THE “ORIGINAL” SYNDROME X

  • Resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake
  • Glucose intolerance
  • Hyperinsulinaemia
  • Increased VLDL-triglyceride
  • Decreased HDL-cholesterol
  • Hypertension

IDF CONSENSUS

Definition CENTRAL OBESITY

Plus any two of:

  • Raised TRIGLYCERIDES
  • Low HDL-CHOLESTEROL
  • Raised BLOOD PRESSURE
  • Raised FASTING PLASMA GLUCOSE (or PRE-EXISTING DM)

THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME ( MTS )

The Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of the mostdangerous risk factors for heart attack :

  • Diabetes / raised fasting plasma glucose
  • Abdominal obesity
  • High blood pressure
  • Defective Cholesterol Metabolism

“ Abdominal Obesity “ as measured by waist circumference is more indicative of the Metabolic Syndrome profile than  increased      BMI

Factor increasing the prevalence of DM

  • Lifestyle modifications: Low physical activities, obesity, stress of modern life
  • Sudden modification of nutritional habits: The abandon of Mediterranean nutrition and the spread of fast food and high-calorie dietary intake.
  • Family history of DM and marriage among relatives.
  • Psychiatric disorders
  • Medication

Psychiatric Patients and Medical Co-Morbidity

Risk factors for cardiovascular disorders and rates of physical disorders are increased in the psychiatric population, partly due to low levels of help-seeking  and lifestyle factors,  poor diet, reduced of physical activity , smoking and medications.

What are the Causes of Morbidity and Mortality in People with Serious Mental Illness?

While suicide and injury account for about 30-40% of excess mortality, about 60% of premature deaths in persons with schizophrenia are due to “natural causes”
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Respiratory diseases
  • Infectious diseases

Mental Disorders and Smoking

  • Higher prevalence (56-88% for patients with schizophrenia) of cigarette smoking ,overall U.S. prevalence 25%
  • More toxic exposure to smoking increased insulin resistance
  • Similar prevalence in bipolar disorder

The metabolic syndrome & depression

When the patients were followed up seven years later, those with metabolic syndrome were twice as likely as those without metabolic syndrome to be depressed. The rising incidence of metabolic syndrome may lead to a corresponding rise in depression, the researchers speculate, while effective measures to prevent and treat metabolic syndrome could reduce the associated depression.

Metabolic Syndrome and the Neuroleptics

This life threatening syndrome includes obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia (high cholesterol) and diabetic ketoacidosis , abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension. A study  shows that metabolic syndrome with atypical and typical neuroleptics was  2-4 times higher than people who are not prescribed neuroleptics.

Consensus Development Conference on Antipsychotic Drugs, Obesity, and Diabetes

  • Consideration of metabolic risks when starting second-generation antipsychotics
  • Patient, family, and caregiver education
  • Baseline screening
  • Regular monitoring
  • Referral to specialized services when appropriate

Cardiometabolic Risks in Patients with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

  • Increased mortality rates for mental disorders
–Loss of 20-30 years from life span
  • Cause of death due to medical causes, as in normal population (i.e., not suicide)
–Schizophrenic patients: 40% increased risk of death from medical causes
–Bipolar patients are twice as likely to die from heart disease as the average person
Atypical Antipsychotics and Cardiometabolic Risk
  • The atypical antipsychotics vary in prevalence of associated weight gain, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (ADA/APA) Consensus Statement)
  • Proposed mechanisms of action of atypical antipsychotic-induced Cardiometabolic risk
