Abstract
The current study analyzes the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects and its association with individual risk factors. To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in diabetic and non‐diabetic patients. The data for this study were collected from 100 patients with diabetes mellitus and 100 non‐diabetic patients (gender and BMI matched controls) who presented to the Department of Medicine. A detailed history, clinical examination and anthropometric measurements were undertaken and relevant investigations were done. Subjects were classified in to different groups for comparison of important variables and the data collected were analyzed statistically. The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in diabetic subjects (cases group) was found to be high, i.e., 67%, which is statistically significant (P=0.0001) compared to non‐diabetic subjects (Control group), which was 38%. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is high in people with diabetes of duration <0.05). In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in diabetic subjects was found to be higher than in non‐diabetics. Hypertension was found to be more prevalent in diabetic subjects with metabolic syndrome than in non‐diabetic subjects with metabolic syndrome. Raised triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol levels were observed in diabetic subjects with metabolic syndrome, though not statistically significant. Higher BMI and increased waist circumference are observed in patients with metabolic syndrome in subjects with diabetes but are statistically not significant. Increased WHR is observed in diabetics with MS, which is statistically significant. Lifestyle modifications, along with therapies for different risk factors, should be advised to prevent the progression to diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
