Abstract
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is used worldwide as a tool to predict the future risk of development of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Prevalence of MetS is increasing globally and now it has started rising in the rural populations as well. Therefore realizing its significance, we determined the prevalence of MetS in a rural population.

Methods: 1700 subjects (males 818, females 882) with age ≥ 20 years were recruited from two districts of Haryana state. Socio-demographic data was collected by house to house survey of randomly selected subjects and anthropometric variables [height, weight, Waist-Circumference (WC), and hip circumference] including Blood Pressure (BP) were measured. Blood samples were collected after overnight fasting and analyzed for Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and lipid profile.

Results: In our study, the prevalence of MetS was 26.6% (95% CI: 24.6 - 28.8%); higher in females (38.2%) than males (14.2%). Prevalence of components of MetS in females and males was as follows: increased WC, 51% and 19.3%; low HDL cholesterol, 88.7% and 32.3%; high triglycerides, 28.2% and 31.8%; raised BP, 47.7% and 52.1% and raised FPG, 42.4%, and 53.1% respectively. Waist-height ratio (WHtR) was found to be the strongest predictor of MetS, followed by raised FPG, raised triglycerides, hypertension (HTN), high waist-hip ratio (WHR), low HDL cholesterol, female sex, and obesity.

Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of MetS in a rural population indicating towards an impending epidemic of T2DM and CVD.
