ABSTRACT
Background:
Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of interconnected factors responsible for increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Early identification and treatment of components of MS leads to improved cardiovascular outcomes.Aims:
To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among adults >18 years of age and to study the various socio-demographic and behavioral factors associated with MS. Methods andMaterial:
This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 280 adults of >18 years in a rural area of Dakshina Kannada district. Probability proportional to size and random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data was collected by interviews, anthropometry, blood investigations.Results:
Prevalence of MS was 33.9% and majority were females (71.8%). The mean age was 49.35 (±15.22) years. The prevalence (raised levels/on treatment) of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia were 56.79% (systolic), 38.93% (diastolic), 38.57% (raised triglycerides), and 45% respectively. Majority of the subjects were obese (52.9%). Participants of 18-49 years age group had 2.30 times higher odds of having MS than ≥50 years age group (P value < 0.001). Female gender and low socio-economic status had 1.49- and 1.31-times higher odds of having MS respectively. Family history of diabetes and presence of co-morbidities had 1.20- and 1.02-times higher odds of developing MS.Conclusion:
There is a high prevalence of MS in rural areas. Intervention based on lifestyle modifications needs to be developed.
