Objective The aim of study is used to assess the association between Metabolic syndrome and its associated factors among dyspeptic patients at Tefera Hailu Memorial General Hospital, Sekota, North-East Ethiopia.Methods The study was a cross-sectional study design from March 01/2022 to May 30/2022. The study subjects were selected by convenient sampling technique. The data were entered into Epi. data 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Logistic regression analysis was conducted and, P-value < 0.05 was used as a statistically significant variable.Results Our study included 228 study participants. The total prevalence of metabolic syndrome among study participants was 23.2%. Metabolic syndrome was statistically significantly associated with fasting blood glucose level(AOR: 15.965, 95% CI: 7.605–33.515), P < 0.001. The median serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.001), triglyceride (P = 0.036), SBP(< 0.001and total cholesterol (P < 0.001) was a statistically significant difference between H. pylori positive and negative study participants.
