In a community based cross-sectional study, total 605 subjects aged 18 yrs and above were studied using multistage random sampling.
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome was estimated by using IDF and ATP-III criteria. By IDF, Metabolic Syndrome was found in 287 (47.4%) subjects and it was more prevalent among females 171 (59.6%) as compared to males 116 (40.4%). By applying ATP-III overall prevalence was less i.e. 233 (38.5%) but again its prevalence was more among females 141 (44.8%) than males 116 (39.5%). Higher socioeconomic status, sedentary occupation and high body mass index were significantly associated with Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic Syndrome is a major health problem in the region and proper emphasis should be given on its prevention and control.
在一项基于社区的横断面研究中，使用多阶段随机抽样对总共 605 名 18 岁及以上的受试者进行了研究。
使用 IDF 和 ATP-III 标准估计代谢综合征的患病率。根据 IDF，代谢综合征在 287 名（47.4%）受试者中发现，女性中更为普遍，171 名（59.6%）比男性 116 名（40.4%）更为普遍。应用 ATP-III 后，总体患病率较低，即 233 名（38.5%），但女性患病率更高，为 141 名（44.8%），而男性为 116 名（39.5%）。较高的社会经济地位、久坐职业和较高的体重指数与代谢综合征显著相关。
代谢综合征是该地区的一个主要健康问题，应高度重视其预防和控制。
