Metabolic Syndrome refers to the clustering of risk factors
including obesity, elevated blood pressure (hypertension), elevated
blood sugars, dyslipidaemia (high triglycerides & low HDL
concentration) and hence increased risk for developing many serious
medical conditions including type 2 diabetes, myocardial
infarction, and stroke & early death. Lifestyle changes, one of
the main factor, due to fast increasing urbanization, especially in
developing countries like India, has led to the development of
serious health problems like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc.
which in turn lead to the complications like Metabolic Syndrome .
About one third of the urban population in India's major cities
have Metabolic Syndrome. The National Cholesterol Education Program
Adult Treatment Panel III simplified the definition of Metabolic
Syndrome to make it user friendly for medical practitioners. Our
study included faculty members of different professional streams
using NCEP ATPIII criteria and was concluded that medical faculty
had maximum percentage of subjects having Metabolic Syndrome. Early
lifestyle modification leads to the reduction in these risk factors
and hence to Metabolic Syndrome.
