ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus patients have increased cardiovascular risk. This can be as high as five times compared to the general population. As metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance are predictive of cardiovascular events both in the general population and in patients with autoimmune diseases.
Objective: This work aimed to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in women with systemic lupus erythematosus and to investigate its relationship with demographic, clinical and therapeutic factors. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was done, including female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (American College of Rheumatology, 1997). Demographic, clinical, cardiovascular, serological and therapeutic characteristics of the patients were evaluated. Metabolic syndrome was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III 2005 criteria and insulin resistance as insulin resistance homeostasis model assessment › 2.5.
Results: A total of 60 patients were included, mean age was 43.4 years, and mean duration of the disease, 10.6 years; 70% were overweight or obese. We found metabolic syndrome in 43.6% and insulin resistance in 41.7%; 18.3% patients had insulin resistance without metabolic syndrome criteria. Only two patients had a cardiovascular event history. We found a correlation between metabolic syndrome and lupus nephritis (p = 0.036), cyclophosphamide (p = 0.001) and mycophenolate treatment (p = 0.004). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance was higher compared to the international literature but similar to the reports for our country. Positive correlation with lupus nephritis and immunosuppression treatments reflects the higher risk in patients with more severe manifestations. The racial, metabolic and clinical characteristics of lupus in Mexican patients highlight the need of an early evaluation and prompt treatment of metabolic syndrome.
