Abstract :
Objective– Metabolic syndrome (MetS); has numerous risk factors like obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and
hypertension. Life style measures are also important predictors. We aimed to correlate them to prevalence of MetS.
Methods– It was a cross sectional study with 390 participants. Detailed physical and laboratory examination were done. The data were collected
in a proforma having multiple questionnaires describing baseline demographic profile, personal habits and physical exercise, job stress, work
load and sleep pattern.
Results– MetS was diagnosed in 47.95% cases that were significantly higher than general population. Cases with Low physical activity, higher
job stress, more working hours, disturbed sleep pattern and higher alcohol consumption were significantly associated with higher MetS
(p value <.005) while smokers had also higher MetS prevalence but the association was non significant.
Conclusion– Life style measures are important predictors of MetS and they have also to be emphasized along with the traditional risk factors of
MetS.
