Abstract: Lifestyle and behavioral changes that have occurred during the last century, such as an increasing obesity, sedentary lifestyle and excessively energy-rich nutrition, have contributed to a dramatic increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome which is a group of atherosclerotic risk factors is rising at an alarming rate among young adults of urban India. Central obesity which represents the visceral adipose tissue depots is the most prevalent manifestation of metabolic syndrome.Adipose tissue, a dynamic endocrine organ secretes pro-inflammatory factors called adipokines. This causes Meta inflammation. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its related factors among adult population karikal district.Using a cross sectional analytical study design, a total of 60 healthy subjects of Karikal district were enrolled in this study. Sixty healthy subjects were further divided into non-obese, group I.(n=30 ) and obese , group II (n=30) based on their waist circumferenceBlood pressure, waist circumference, height and bodyweight were measured according to standard procedures and were reported in detail previously.. Blood pressure Plasma glucose .Blood samples were obtained after 8 hours of fasting to determine blood chemistry parameters. Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL, LDL .Results: In this study we found that obese of the study population of 20 adults had metabolic syndrome. 87.4% of the obese group had increased fasting glucose, and elevated triglycerides and LDL levels. The change in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome.Among our student population was not statistically significant. Low HDL cholesterol and hypertriglyceridemia were the main risks factors in the population less than20 years of age, while in the population of 20–30 years, low HDL cholesterol and high blood pressure were the main risk factors (low HDL cholesterol affected two thirds of the population). Therefore, it is important the study of young populations in order to make a timely intervention in individuals at risk, given the high prevalence of metabolic abnormalities at an early age.
