“…This finding agrees with the results of the study conducted by Mangat et al [17] who documented that using IDF, the prevalence of MS was more prevalent among females (59.6%) than males (40.4%). Similar results were reported in studies conducted by Pemminati et al ,[18] Sidorenkov,[23] Kamble et al ,[15] Parale et al [24] and Gupta et al [16] whose results showed a higher prevalence of MS in females than males.…”

Introduction:Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a state of deranged metabolic and anthropometric status. It is considered a precursor to various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.Objectives:(1) To determine the prevalence of MS in adults aged 20 years and above in the rural area of Ambala district, Haryana. (2) To determine the sociodemographic factors associated with MS.Materials and Methods:In a community-based cross-sectional study, a total of 1200 subjects aged 20 years and above were studied, using multi-stage random sampling.Results:The prevalence of MS was estimated by using criterion given by the International Diabetes Federation. MS was found in 110 (9.2%) subjects, being more prevalent in females: 73 (66.36%) when compared to 37 males (33.63%). Sedentary occupation and age were significantly associated with MS.Conclusions:MS is a major health problem in the region and it should be given proper attention in order to prevent and control it.

“…Studies have shown that there is a significant prevalence of diabetes and MS in the urban Indian population with the prevalence being age related and more so among the sedentary workers. ( 12 – 14 ) To date only a handful of studies have been conducted in order to assess the impact of one's occupation in development of MS.…”

Objective:To study the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in an Indian industrial setup and to study disparity in occurrence of MS in a working population based on occupational status.Materials and Methods:Cross-sectional study of 651 employees who underwent periodic medical examination. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition of MS and International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO)-88 classification of occupations were used.Results:The overall crude prevalence of MS was found to be 18.5%. Nineteen percent of the non-manual workers and 18.3% of the manual workers suffered from MS. The single largest occupational category with MS was ISCO-88 group 1, which included the managers and senior officials. However, no difference was found among the manual and non-manual workers in prevalence of MS.

“…Many studies have been done on Indian population to identify the positive association between cardiovascular disease and many metric variables 2010a;2010b;Gupta et al, 2007;Parale et al, 2008;Badaruddoza and Sawhney, 2009;Shah and Mathur, 2010). The results of present study indicated that SBP and DBP have positive association with waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index, waist circumference, skin folds, pulse pressure, HDL and triglycerides.…”

Problem statement:We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also detrimental effect on the development of cardiovascular disease. Approach: This cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 400 urban and rural origin Punjabi males (200 each from urban and rural). The anthropometric, physiometric and metabolic assessments were through standard procedures. Statistical analysis includes descriptive statistics, correlation, multivariate regression analysis and odds ratios. Results: It observed that males of rural population were at a higher risk to develop cardiovascular diseases compared to their urban counterparts. Rural males had significantly (p<0.001) higher mean values of cardiovascular risk factors with respect to BMI, weight, waist circumference, WHR, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and CHO-HDL ratio. SBP and DBP have positive association with waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index; waist circumference, skinfolds, pulse pressure, alcohol consumptions, food habit, HDL and triglyceride. Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease risk is found more in rural male Punjabi population due to consumption of more dietary products and leading of more sedentary lifestyle due to the overuse of mechanized substances for agriculture and personal use.
