Abstract
The objective of the research was to assess the prevalence and structure of the metabolic syndrome among the indigenous female population of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia). A screening survey of a female population (n = 628) aged 20 years and older, living in the Oymyakonsky, Gorny and Tattinsky districts of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia), was conducted. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, according to IDF criteria, was 22.6%. Metabolic syndrome in more than half of cases manifested itself as a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The dynamics of the frequency of metabolic disorders in different age groups indicates that abdominal obesity is the main pathogenetic factor contributing to the development of a chain of metabolic disorders in this population.
