To date, limited data are available on metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence among breast cancer survivors in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MetS and abnormal MetS components among breast cancer survivors in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This cross-sectional study included 95 breast cancer survivors (age 53.7±7.6 years) who have completed main cancer treatments for ≥6 months. Cancer survivors were recruited from two main government hospitals in Kelantan and Terengganu using a purposive sampling method. According to the Harmonized criteria, the MetS prevalence was 50.5%. Among those with MetS, the most prevalent abnormal metabolic components were triglycerides (91.2%), fasting blood glucose (79.6%) and HDL-c level (78.4%). Except for total cholesterol and LDL-c, all other MetS components were significantly different (p<0.05) between those with and without MetS. Significant differences between MetS and non-MetS groups were found for weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and cancer stages (p<0.05). Otherwise, no significant difference was reported in other sociodemographic and clinical parameters between cancer survivors with and without MetS. In conclusion, MetS was highly prevalent among breast cancer survivors in this study, with weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and cancer stages significantly affect MetS status.
