Metabolic syndrome has increased globally due to sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets and obesity, which is posing a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Understanding the determinants of metabolic syndrome like lifestyle factors, socioeconomic status and the environment are vital for devising effective prevention and management. Research into these determinants helps to identify high-risk populations and develop interventions to reduce its occurrence.
i. To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the adult population. ii. To determine the factors associated with metabolic syndrome among the adult population.
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 410 adults (≥18 years). A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data and National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III criteria was used to diagnose metabolic syndrome. Continuous and categorical data were represented as mean and proportion, respectively. The strength of the association was determined using the prevalence ratio and adjusted prevalence ratio.
The mean age of the participants was 44.97 ± 14.7, about 58.3% of them were females. Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 39.8%. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that being over 40 years old, marital status, higher socioeconomic status, skilled workers, physical inactivity and obesity were independently linked to metabolic syndrome.
The burden can be reduced by identifying the risk factors at the early stage through screening and by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
由于久坐不动的生活方式、不健康的饮食和肥胖，代谢综合征在全球范围内呈上升趋势，这给医疗保健系统带来了沉重负担。了解代谢综合征的决定因素，如生活方式因素、社会经济地位和环境，对于制定有效的预防和管理措施至关重要。对这些决定因素的研究有助于识别高危人群并制定干预措施以减少其发生。
i. 估计成年人群中代谢综合征的患病率。ii. 确定成年人群中与代谢综合征相关的因素。
对410名成年人（≥18岁）进行了一项横断面研究。使用半结构化问卷收集数据，并采用美国国家胆固醇教育计划成人治疗小组第三次报告的标准来诊断代谢综合征。连续数据和分类数据分别表示为均值和比例。使用患病率比和调整患病率比来确定关联强度。
参与者的平均年龄为44.97±14.7岁，其中约58.3%为女性。代谢综合征患病率为39.8%。多变量回归分析表明，年龄超过40岁、婚姻状况、较高的社会经济地位、技术工人、缺乏身体活动和肥胖与代谢综合征独立相关。
通过筛查在早期识别风险因素并采用健康的生活方式，可以减轻负担。
