Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a cluster of known disorders that increase the risk for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This cross sectional study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of MetS using Adult Treatment Panel 3 (ATP 3) classification and socio-demographic and lifestyle factors contributing to metabolic syndrome among rural indigenous Malaysian population from Perak state, Malaysia which included 148 rural Malay and 145 Orang Asli(OA) individuals. This community based cross-sectional study revealed that the prevalence of MetS was significantly higher among Malays (27.7%) as compared to Orang Aslis (13.8%). Overall Prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in the rural indigenous Malaysian population was 20.8%. Prevalence of abdominal obesity and high blood pressure were significantly higher among Malays as compared to OA population. Metabolic syndrome was significantly higher among those above 45 years of age group in overall rural indigenous Malaysian population and among OA. The prevalence of MetS was significantly higher among those who were obese and overweight and among Malays who were regularly taking snacks between meals. There was no significant association between other dietary risk factors, smoking, alcohol use or physical activity with metabolic syndrome.
代谢综合征（MetS）被定义为一组已知的疾病集群，这些疾病会增加心血管疾病（CVD）和2型糖尿病发病和死亡的风险。这项横断面研究旨在使用成人治疗小组第三次报告（ATP 3）分类法估计代谢综合征的患病率，以及马来西亚霹雳州农村土著居民中导致代谢综合征的社会人口统计学和生活方式因素，该研究纳入了148名农村马来人和145名原住民（OA）个体。这项基于社区的横断面研究表明，马来人（27.7%）的代谢综合征患病率显著高于原住民（13.8%）。马来西亚农村土著居民中代谢综合征的总体患病率为20.8%。与原住民相比，马来人的腹型肥胖和高血压患病率显著更高。在整个马来西亚农村土著居民和原住民中，45岁以上年龄组的代谢综合征患病率显著更高。肥胖和超重者以及经常在两餐之间吃零食的马来人的代谢综合征患病率显著更高。其他饮食风险因素、吸烟、饮酒或身体活动与代谢综合征之间没有显著关联。
