Abstract

Prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in the general population in India is about 40%, much higher than of 25% quoted for western population. Obesity leading to Metabolic Syndrome is the soil for Diabetes and Cardio vascular diseases like PVD, strokes, MI. If we control the incidence of Obesity, we can prevent the future cardiovascular problems. In my study it is found that persons with increased abdominal obesity, levels of FBS, PPBS, MA, BP, Triglycerides, and decreased levels of HDL. These values were normal in persons without abdominal obesity. So person can escape from the future complications if he controls obesity by adopting simple change in life style to loose weight like regular physical exercise and healthy diet habits.
