Cross-sectional analysis revealed metabolic syndrome in 54.5% of carpal tunnel syndrome patients, suggesting a potential association.

Metabolic syndrome was found in 30 out of 54 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
The mean age of participants was 47.3 years, with a mean BMI of 27.69 kg/m2.
Participants showed symptoms for an average duration of 2.3 months, with a balanced male-to-female ratio.
