Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is increasing in India and other South Asian nations, resulting in increased CVD and T2DM-related mortality and morbidity. About one- third of urban South Asians have evidence of MS. MS has been linked to an elevated risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease in adults (CVD), particularly in Asian Indians. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increasing, with urbanization and sedentary lifestyles becoming risk factors. The metabolic syndrome is becoming more common in developed countries, including India. Increasing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, which is contributing to an increase in mortality and sickness in developed nations, is currently a global public health concern. This study aimed to review the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in India.
