Abstract :Aim: The literature presents conflicting data regarding whether the non dipping pattern (NDP) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) compared to those without. In our study, we aimed to investigate the MS effect of the NDP in individuals with hypertension. Methods: This prospective study included 117 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients (79 women and 38 men) who were not receiving any anti-hypertensive treatment. MS was evaluated according to the currently used the US National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel-III definition criteria (MS-ATP-III) and a new diagnostic scoring method (MS-Score). NDP defined, nocturnal blood pressure (BP) fell by <10% from daytime BP Results: The mean age of the patients who met the MS-ATP-III criteria was 53.9+8.1 years. The prevalence of the MS-ATP-III among the study population was 60.6%. The NDP frequency was similar in patients with and without MS-ATP-III, high MS-Score and low MS-Score group (respectively; 44.8%, 47.5%, p=0.79, 44.7%, 46.9%, p= 0.9). The reverse dipping pattern (RDP) frequency was higher in patients with MS-ATP-III compared to those without MS (13.8% and 2.5%, p=0.021), RDP was 10.8% in the high MS-Score group and 8.2% in the low MS-Score group (p=0.66). The LDL (mg/dL) values were higher in those with NDP compared to those without (142.6+32.2, 125.5+28.9, p=0.008). Conclusion: Despite the high prevalence of MS among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, the prevalence of NDP does not show a different distribution in patients with MS in both the MS-ATP-III and MS-Score method.Keywords : Hipertansiyon, Non-dipping patern, Metabolik sendrom, Ters dipping paterni, Metabolik skor.
