title: [Incidence of the most important metabolic disorders in the population of a little town in Poland].
abstract: The study aimed at establishing a risk for metabolic diseases in the randomly selected population in the age over 18 years, inhabitants of the little town in Siedlce Voivodeship. Using comparative tables, in was found that percent of women and men in the investigated group is similar to that in the population of this town. Women prevailed slightly in the investigated group which characterized also relatively low age (42 years) and low diastolic blood pressure. Obesity was found in 40% of the investigated subjects. Over 2.6% had diabetes mellitus and 11.4%--improper glucose tolerance (according to WHO criteria). Every fifth subject has blood lipids disorders. Such disorders were more frequent in the subgroup of men. Additionally, relationships between these findings were analysed. Body weight index markedly correlated with blood triglycerides level and less pronounced with blood total cholesterol and uric acid. Negative correlation between BMI and HDL cholesterol levels was noted. The lack of correlation between glycaemia, cholesterolemia and triglyceridemia results from the fact that there is such a correlation in men but not in women. The obtained results indicate the necessity of preventive measures.
