Serum Concentrations, Physical and Psychological Well-being in Metabolic Syndrome
Serum Concentrations, Physical and Psychological Well-being in Metabolic Syndrome
The purpose of this study was to investigate the serum concentrations, physical and
 psychological well-being characteristics in patients having chronic musculoskeletal pain with
 metabolic syndrome, and to compare patients without metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of metabolic risk factors such as impaired glucose
 level, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and central obesity. MetS has become a large public health
 issue with common interrelation to different accompanying disorders. Moreover, the link
 between MetS and musculoskeletal disorders has previously been demonstrated.

 Presence and prevalence of MetS in patients having musculoskeletal pain seems common and
 interrelated.However, to our knowledge, manifestations with clinical symptoms of MetS, some
 inflammatory markers via serum concentrations and physical and psychological health profiles
 of patients with seeking treatment from outpatient physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain
 conditions have not been researched up to now.
Inclusion Criteria:

 To be a volunteer patient with a chronic non-specific musculoskeletal pain disorder,
 including knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear, adhesive capsulitis, and non-specific low
 back, back or neck pain for more than 6 months.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 the presence of severe physical disability, psychiatric disorder, malignant tumors,
 pregnancy, chronic alcohol consumption, gout, heart failure, liver and renal dysfunction.
