BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) involves having at least 3 out of 5 health conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. These conditions include increased blood pressure (BP), high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Each of these conditions is treatable with lifestyle changes and/or medication.
OBJECTIVE: 1). To find out the prevalence of MetS and various risk factors associated with it through MetS's screening criteria. 2) To find out the health risk status and stress level among bank's employees in the government sector.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A medical health camp was organised for all bank's employees to rule out the various health-related disorders. Thus, 64 beneficiaries were participated. A detailed history was taken regarding their socio-demographic profile, risk factors affecting the MetS, and stress levels among each individual through the direct personal interview method.
RESULTS: As per MetS's screening criteria (NCEP-ATP III), the prevalence of MetS was 7.81% among the bank's employees. The various risk factors affecting the MetS are elevated serum triglyceride level, elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG), raised BP, enlarged WC, etc., The majority of individuals had a high risk of health status 27 (42.1%) and a moderate level of stress, i.e., 38 (59.4%), respectively. Most of the participants were hypertensive 49 (76.6%), diabetic 16 (28.6%), and obese 37 (57.8%).
CONCLUSION: Common concerns of male gender, increasing age and BMI, sedentary lifestyle, stress and positive family history should be considered for early identification and appropriate intervention to fight against the growing MetS epidemic.
