Purposes: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between metabolic syndrome, its constituent factors, and benign colorectal polyps. Methods: Between 2011 and 2017, patients who underwent colonoscopy at a regional hospital in Kaohsiung City were screened and selected as participants for this study. Metabolic syndrome was defined in accordance with the 2007 Ministry of Health and Welfare guidelines. Benign colorectal polyps were screened via colonoscopy and confirmed by a gastroenterologist through pathology evaluation. Results: Collected a total of 846 valid samples, the results showed that there was a higher proportion of subjects with metabolic syndrome had benign colorectal polyps than those without metabolic syndrome (47.4% vs. 33.4%). Subjects with benign colorectal polyps had significantly higher triglyceride levels (45.5% vs. 32.4%), waist circumference (44.2% vs. 35.0%), and fasting blood glucose (47.3% vs. 33.2%) than those without benign colorectal polyps. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, and triglyceride levels were risk factors for benign colorectal polyps. Benign colorectal polyps was more prevalent among men than women and among older adults than younger ones. Conclusions: In conclusion, subjects with metabolic syndrome and high triglyceride levels, waist circumference, and hyperglycemia were more likely to suffer from colorectal benign polyps. Male gender, age≧41 years old, and hypertriglyceridemia are risk factors for benign colorectal polyps. |
