Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) previously known as syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome it is a cluster of different components characterized by central obesity, lipid and insulin dysregulation, and hypertension. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a precursor to cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes, is rapidly increasing in young adults. Methodology: This community based cross-sectional study was conducted among the healthy young adults, age was 18-25 years living in Qasimabad. Data was collected through self-designed questionnaire. T-test, chi square and bivariate tests were used to analyze the data for MetS. Results: The total number of participants were 336 among them 134(39.9) were males and 202(60.1) were females. Overall the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among young adults in this study was 7.4%, the prevalence of MetS was higher in males 15(11.2%) than in females 10(5%) according to the NECP ATPIII diagnostic criteria for MetS, statistically significant Chi square= 4.56, p=value 0.033. BMI showed slightly higher correlation with SBP (r=0.601, p<0.01), FBS (r=0.481, p<0.01, TG (r=0.506, p<0.01) and HDL (r= -0.359, p<0.01). Whereas WC showed higher correlation with SBP (r=0.578 p<0.01). Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS components were higher in males than females. The correlation of BMI with the individual components of MetS was found better than other anthropometric indices.
Keywords: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), Insulin Resistance (IR), Young Adults.
