Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of health issues that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The study population consisted mainly of middle-aged individuals, with a balanced gender distribution. Major findings included a significant portion with BMI above normal, indicative of obesity and related health risks. Lifestyle factors such as moderate physical activity and low substance abuse were noted, although stress and dietary habits presented areas of concern. Families with a history of Metabolic syndrome showed higher susceptibility to the syndrome. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests were important in accurately identifying true positives and negatives, ensuring effective diagnosis and intervention for metabolic syndrome. High sensitivity and specificity in diagnostic tests for Metabolic syndrome are essential for accurate diagnosis and early intervention. This study highlights the importance of public health screening in detecting Metabolic syndrome in rural populations, enabling timely lifestyle modifications and medical treatments.
Results: The study findings revealed the sensitivity and specificity for the study population were 35 & 44%, respectively. The outcome of the study, thereby, is to reduce the burden of both diagnosis and treatment by classifying correctly.
