Objective of the study was to evaluate the association of NT-pro BNP to cardio-metabolic risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome. Research method: This study was included 194 participant s aged from 35- to 64 years, who were health checkup examinee’s and had no clinical symptoms of heart failure. Cardio-metabolic risk factors were detected by clinical examinations and laboratory test. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation definition. NT-pro BNP determination was performed on an immunoassay analyzer (FIA8000, Getein Bio Medical Inc). The cut-off point for NT-pro BNP was 125pg/ml. We examined with multivariate linear regression of the relationship between NT-pro BNP and cardio-metabolic risk factors. A logistic regression analysis was also performed to assess the influence of cardio-metabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome on NT- pro BNP values. Research results: A total of 194 participants included in the study of which, 75 (38.6%) were men and 119 (61.4%) were women. The mean age was 51.3±7.9 75 years. Thirty-two participant s (16.5%) showed elevated NT-pro BNP levels of ≥125 pg/ml. Sixty-one (31.4%) participants had metabolic syndrome. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age (β=0.140, P=0.049), systolic blood pressure (β=0.198, P=0.007) and diastolic blood pressure (β=0.174, P=0.018) were positively correlated with NT-pro BNP levels, while body mass index (β=-0.209, P=0.004) was negatively correlated with NT-pro BNP levels. Age (OR=1.07, P=0.011) and hypertension (OR=5.98, P=0.007) were the independent predictors of elevated NT-pro BNP levels. Conclusion: NT-pro BNP levels were significantly increased in participants with hypertension and metabolic syndrome and were lower in obesity.
