Abstract
Metabolic syndrome represents a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding its prevalence and determinants in diabetic patients is crucial for developing targeted interventions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its associated determinants among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 250 patients with type 2 diabetes attending a tertiary care hospital. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was assessed using the ATP III criteria. Data on age, gender and lifestyle factors such as physical activity were collected through structured questionnaires and hospital records. Of the 250 patients, 40% met the criteria for metabolic syndrome. The prevalence was slightly higher among patients aged 40‐60 years (OR=1.282., 95% CI: 0.771 to 2.132., P=0.616) but did not reach statistical significance. Similarly, females showed a non‐significantly lower risk (OR=0.940., 95% CI: 0.566 to 1.562., P=0.353). Regarding lifestyle factors, neither high nor low levels of physical activity were significantly associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (High activity OR=0.983., 95% CI: 0.535 to 1.807., P = 0.154., Low activity OR = 0.781., 95% CI: 0.466 to 1.310., P=0.313). While the study indicated a considerable prevalence of metabolic syndrome among T2DM patients, the associations with age, gender, and physical activity were not statistically significant. These findings suggest the need for larger, more detailed studies to explore these associations further.
