Abstract
Metabolic syndrome encompasses a cluster of conditions such as elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, abnormal cholesterol levels excess body fat around the waist. Recent studies have highlighted the potential role of vitamin D in metabolic functions, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to the development of metabolic syndrome. To investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among a sample of 200 adults. This cross‐sectional study involved 200 adults from a single urban center. Serum vitamin D levels were measured using a standardized 25‐hydroxy vitamin D blood test. Participants were assessed for metabolic syndrome criteria according to the International Diabetes Federation definitions. Preliminary analysis indicated a significant inverse correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the presence of metabolic syndrome components. Further statistical analysis will provide insight into the strength of these associations. This study may provide further evidence on the role of vitamin D in metabolic health and contribute to developing preventive health strategies against metabolic syndrome.
