Objective: To study the magnitude of Cardio-Metabolic abnormalities and metabolic syndrome among the adolescent in rural population of Wardha. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among the adolescents (10-19 years) of Anji P.H.C. Sample size studied was 400, selected by random sampling. The sampling frame available with department of Community Medicine was used for drawing the sample. We collected the data on their socio-demographic variables and other cardio metabolic risk factors. Fasting blood sample was collected and result for lipid profile and blood sugar was obtained. Results : Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to be 9.9% in the study population and highest prevalence of lower level of HDLc 58.3% was found. Among the study subjects, 24.4% had high blood pressure levels, i.e. > 90th percentile for age, sex and height and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was found to be 27.9%. Only 2.2% of the subjects were found to have waist circumference more than the cut off (> 90th percentile) and 13.8% of subjects had impaired fasting glucose. Conclusion : we conclude that there is definitely alarming situation as per prevalence of cardio metabolic abnormalities and metabolic syndrome are concerned, even in rural communities. The early identification of cardio metabolic risk factors can help with an attempt to prevent or delay metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Downloads
