Metabolic syndrome is a collection of health-related conditions that lead to serious health condition. An individual with metabolic syndrome may acquire greater risk for adult-onset complications such as cardiovascular or neurological disorders. The aim of this study was to review and provide the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC). Literature searches were performed on PubMed, Google scholar, and Web of Science Core Collection for English-language articles along with national studies. The following search terms were used during search: "prevalence of metabolic syndrome in GCC," "prevalence of metabolic syndrome in middle east," "prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Arab," and "prevalence of metabolic syndrome name of country." Thirty-seven studies were selected for final review out of 132 studies. The weighted pooled prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 27.3% with high heterogeneity ( =98.94%; Cochran Q-test <0.01). The results showed comparatively high and rising rate of metabolic syndrome in the GCC area. Preventative strategy should be considered to reduce the risk of morbidity or mortality related to metabolic syndrome.
代谢综合征是一系列与健康相关的状况，会导致严重的健康问题。患有代谢综合征的个体可能面临更高的成人期并发症风险，如心血管或神经系统疾病。本研究的目的是回顾并提供海湾合作委员会国家（GCC）代谢综合征的患病率。我们在PubMed、谷歌学术和科学网核心合集上搜索了英文文章以及各国的研究。搜索过程中使用了以下搜索词：“海湾合作委员会国家代谢综合征的患病率”、“中东代谢综合征的患病率”、“阿拉伯地区代谢综合征的患病率”以及“代谢综合征在某国的患病率”。从132项研究中筛选出37项进行最终回顾。代谢综合征的加权合并患病率为27.3%，异质性较高（I² = 98.94%；Cochran Q检验<0.01）。结果显示，海湾合作委员会地区代谢综合征的发病率相对较高且呈上升趋势。应考虑采取预防策略以降低与代谢综合征相关的发病或死亡风险。
