Abstract: 

Background: The objective of our research was to study the ethnic-related characteristics of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in the indigenous population of Yakutia.
Methods and Results: The study was conducted under expeditionary conditions in the North of Yakutia (Nizhnekolymsky, Anabarsky, Verkhnekolymsky, Tomponsky, and Srednekolymsky districts). In total, 529 people aged between 20 and 70 years were examined in the primary health care units. For a comparative analysis, we formed 6 ethnic groups (Yakuts, Evenks, Evens, Dolgans, Chukchi, Yukagirs). In all ethnic groups, there was a high prevalence of atherogenic dyslipidemia, with the highest frequency in Evenks and Yakuts. Women had a higher frequency of lipid metabolism disorders than men did. The frequency of hyperglycemia was significantly higher among the Dolgans, Evenks and Yakuts than in other ethnic groups.
Conclusion: This study showed a high frequency of MetS in the examined ethnic groups, which is caused by a change in the traditional lifestyle and the nature of nutrition.
