“…8 The prevalence of MS in our study was slightly higher in females than males, while in other Indian studies, prevalence of MS was significantly higher in females than males. 9,10 In a study conducted by Chow et al, the prevalence of MS was found to be 26.9% in males and 18.4% in females in south india, which is disconcordant with the present study. 10 In the present study the prevalence of MS in males and females has been found to be 21.93% and 23.12% respectively.…”

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for CVD and is on rise globally as well as in india.Methods: This was a population based study conducted on 356 individuals of the age of 16-45 years, attending Medicine OPD for routine check-up at Sri guru ram das institute of medical sciences and research. Participants were subjected for anthropometric measurements, complete physical examination and evaluation of biochemical parameters in context of metabolic syndrome.Results: On applying, NCEP-ATPIII criteria, the prevalence of MS was found to be 22.47%. The prevalence of MS was comparable in both genders, though MS was significantly higher in females of 36-45 years age group (25.64%). About 82% of the participants were either overweight or obese.Conclusions: Since obesity was the most common entity prevalent and a major risk factor for MS and CVD, early detection and lifestyle modifications to prevent obesity and dyslipidemia should be promoted at all levels in community.

“…MetS is even affecting the developing countries such as India and China. In India, urban Indians are most susceptible to its development owing to affluence of middle class, urbanization, mechanization, marked changes in diet (increased consumption of "calorie-dense foods") and sedentary habits [24], without overlooking the facet of rural Indian populations who are being affected by it as well [25][26][27]. This is an important matter, as without effective intervention strategies, it can lead to T2DM and CVD in future.…”

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors that has the potential of developing into cardiovascular disease or increase the susceptibility to it. It is present worldwide with now even developing countries getting overwhelmed by its burden. With a shift towards unhealthy diet coupled with sedentary lifestyle, development of metabolic syndrome is on the rise even among young adults. One of the main causes of this problem is faulty diet, so any means to reduce the incidence of the syndrome involves the modification of the existing diets rich in saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol. This review focusses on efficacy of different dietary patterns for combating the syndrome along with other lifestyle risk factors. It also highlights newer advancements in the field of Metabolic Syndrome, which can serve as potential strategies to combat it. Public health interventions targeting adults, therefore, should center on prevention through education, modification of diet and lifestyle, and focusing on environment, so that these changes are acceptable and sustainable.

“…Some research suggest that various factors such as rapid nutrition transition [1,85], rural-to-urban migration [1,7,[86][87][88][89], increasingly sedentary occupations and life style such as smoking [6,[90][91][92][93], and maternal-fetal factors [1] may influence the prevalence rate of the MetS and obesity. In one survey, it was revealed that a Mediterraneanstyle diet might play a role in reducing the inflammatory state and endothelial dysfunction associated with the MetS [94].…”

Increasing burden of obesity, the metabolic syndrome (MetS), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and CardioVascular Diseases (CVD) in developing countries has created an urgent need for more researches on the various factors responsible for increasing their prevalence. Literature search was carried out using the terms obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, physical inactivity, the metabolic syndrome, and developing countries, in order to review the criteria and risk factors of MetS and its prevalence in Middle East countries from web sites and published documents. The prevalence of the syndrome and its underlying factors was also compared between some of the Middle East and some of European and American countries. The pattern of the components of metabolic syndrome varies in the Middle East region in comparison with Europe and North America. In addition to differences of diet behaviors, the genetic factors and some of geographic dependent elements may influence the variation of metabolic syndrome architecture worldwide particularly in the Middle East region.
