    The Prevalence of Demodex Species and Its Relationship With the Metabolic Syndrome in Women of Malatya Province, Turkey
    (Ahvaz Jundishapur Univ Med Sci, 2015) Enginyurt, Ozgur; Karaman, Ulku; Cetin, Feray; Ozer, Ali
    Background: Demodex species are ectoparasites living in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands in human. Only two species, Demodex folliculorum and D. brevis were identified in human. While the D. folliculorum is settling in infundibular part of the hair follicles mostly, D. brevis settles into the sebaceous glands and ducts, which are deeper. These parasites live preferentially in hair follicles on the face and in the sebaceous glands, although they have also been reported to reside in seborrheic parts of the human body. The Demodex species have the highest rate on the face which has thesignificant number of sebaceous glands and sebum production in the skin. However, the rate of infestation increases with age in healthy skin. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Demodex species in healthy women and the relationship between the incidence of Demodex and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Patients and Methods: This study consisted of 151,498 women aged >= 20 years who reside in the central district of Malatya province, Turkey. In 5% confidence interval of sample size, while the design effect was 1.5 it was calculated as 552 individuals and while the design effect was 2 it was calculated as 736 individuals. The World Health Organization 30 cluster sampling method was used to select the samples. Women aged = 20 years who were not pregnant or lactating were included in the study. From a total of 669 subjects included in this study, 90.89% of the largest sample was accessed. Results: Parasites were detected in 263 (39.3%) of 669 subjects and 3 of them were D. brevis. In chi-square analysis, nosignificant relationship was found between the incidence of the parasite, age, education level, occupation, marital status, family type, and MetS. However, a significant relationship was found between the diastolic pressure and those who fed with fatty foods and the incidence of parasite's occurrence. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, MetS has no effect on the frequency of occurrence of the parasite; however, weight, fatty foods, and high diastolic pressure are effective in the frequency of occurrence of the parasite. The effects of these factors on the incidence of parasites should be supported by further study designs.

    Prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its relationship with mental health (anger) and sociodemographic characteristics in women residing in central district of Malatya: a cross-sectional observational study
    (Aves Yayincilik, 2012) Cetin, Feray; Gunes, Gulsen; Ozer, Ali
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its relationship with mental health (anger) and sociodemographic characteristics in women residing central district of Malatya. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted between April and September 2008. The relationships between MetS and mental health (anger) and sociodemographic properties were examined. Chi-square and Student t-test were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Mean age of the women included in this study was 41.9 +/- 12.7 years. MetS prevalence was 30.9%, for the age group of 60 and over prevalence was 61.3%. There was a statistically meaningful relation between MetS prevalence and the educational background, marital status, body-mass index (BMI) and family type (p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between MetS and anger status in the study group (p>0.05). The most common MetS parameters findings of our study were abdominal obesity (45.6%, waist circumference>88 cm) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Among MetS diagnosed women included in this study the most common finding was fasting blood glucose (76.7%), which were followed by high triglycerides (69.4%) and hypertension (63.5%). Conclusion: Taking control over or avoiding obesity plays a crucial role in prevention of MetS development. There was a significant relationship between MetS prevalence and education, BMI and family type in the study group. In the current study, there was no any significant relation between MetS and anger scale. (Anadolu Kardiyol Berg 2012; 12: 53-9)
