    abstract = {<p style="text-align:justify">Metabolic syndrome (MetS) or clustering of different cardiac and metabolic risk factors is an emerging problem affecting the young adults worldwide. Various hematological indices have been identified recently to have important predictive values on components of MetS. The objective of the study was to investigate the association between components of cardio‐metabolic risk and hematological parameters in young adults of Tripura. The assessment was done on 347 randomly selected young adults (age 18‐25 years) belonging to mixed Indian population residing in Kanyakumari. National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria was followed to evaluate the cardio‐metabolic risk of the subject. Hematological parameters were recorded by using an automated hematological analyzer. Most of the anthropometric, cardio‐metabolic and hematological parameters differ significantly between subjects with and without profound cardio metabolic risk except blood pressure in females and fasting blood sugar in males. Hematological parameters like RBC count, PLT count, Hb content showed lower values and WBC showed significantly higher values in subjects with MetS. In both male and female, the haemoglobin content significantly negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference and triglyceride level whereas only in females it also varied significantly positively with HDL‐C level. There was over all impairment of the hematological status in subjects with profound cardio‐metabolic risk. The presence of risk factors for metabolic syndrome at the young age have an impact on hematological status of young adults.</p>
