Abstract
Since metabolic syndrome is a lifestyle condition, understanding the causes behind the recent changing patterns in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome may be helpful in addressing the growing burden of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The NCEP ATP III is one of the most widely used criteria of metabolic syndrome. To assess, establish and compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in urban population in Navi Mumbai using modified NCEP ATP III criteria. A cross sectional study on 204 subjects of either sex between the age group of 20‐85 years of urban area of Navi Mumbai was done at urban field practice area from August 2023 to Janauary 2024. The Modified NCEP ATP III criteria was used to calculate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The data were collected in structured Proforma and it was analyzed with relevant statistical methods. Maximum 91 (44.61%) were in the age group of 40‐60 and only 1 (0.49%) female was above 80 years. Mean age of was 56+12.96 years. Sex distribution was male 73 (35.78%) and female 131 (64.22%). 110 (53.92%) subjects were from the income group of Rs. 10000‐50000. 54 (26.47%) were graduates and only 19 (9.31%) were illiterate. As per BMI classification 83 (40.69%) were overweight i.e. in the range of 25‐29.9 kg/m2 and 16 (7.84%) were were obese i.e. above 30 BMI. Furthermore, each patient with metabolic syndrome who interacts with the clinical echelons must be identified and informed in order to lower their lifestyle risk factors and if necessary, receive targeted therapy.
