Key result
Physical activity correlation with metabolic syndrome prevalence remains unreported in this cross-sectional study.
Why the study?
Does the level of physical activity correlate with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women?
Cross-Sectional
Does the level of physical activity correlate with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women?
Cross sectional study reports high prevalence of metabolic syndrome associated with physical activity levels in women, indicating significant health implications.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifaceted disorder characterized by a constellation of cardiometabolic abnormalities.(1) It collectively increases the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.(2,3) The incidence of MetS is influenced by various factors, including aging, gender, dietary habits, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and lifestyle behaviors, particularly physical activity levels.(4,5) Literature has reported high incidents of MetS among Indian women, with estimates of 19.2% to 32.4% in pre- and post-menopausal women.
