“…The Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level as the most prevalent dyslipidemia in the present study is similar to what was reported among Northern Mexican adolescents [42], but the result is in contrast to the reported abdominal obesity, raised diastolic blood pressure and hyper triglyceridemia as determinants of metabolic syndrome in rural workers from Idemili South Local Government Area, Southeast Nigeria [21].…”

“…The prevalence of obesity in the present study is similar to the world prevalence values for adults as reported by Planchart et al [3]. The values are also lower than the overweight and obesity prevalence for men (70.8%) and women (77.7%) African-Americans [19], obesity prevalence (81% men; 93% women) in Ghanaian and Nigerian born African-Americans [20], the prevalence in Sokoto reported by Sabir et al [4], and obesity prevalence (17.2%) in rural workers from Idemili South Local Government Area, Southeast Nigeria [21]. The difference may be due to age range differences in subjects studied as our study comprises a younger starter age range (10 years +) compared to the other studies.…”

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a term that describe the presence of conditions that increase an individual risk for heart disease and other disorders such as diabetes and stroke, and its occurrence is in the rise in residents of North-Western Nigeria, The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and determinants of metabolic syndrome in respondents from Katsina senatorial zone attending the Out-patient Department of the Federal Medical Center Katsina, Katsina State, Nigeria. A total of 211 (male 109; female 102) respondents aged 10 to 80 years were recruited for the study. Anthropometric parameters and blood pressure of respondents were determined using standard methods; serum lipid profile was determined using enzymatic methods. From the results, 11.8% of the male respondents were under weight, 51.6% were within the normal range, 25.4% of the study male population was found to be overweight and 12.8% were obese. 13.5% of the female respondents were under weight, 51.9% were within the normal range, 22.8% of the study female population was found to be overweight and 13.1% were obese. All serum lipids measurements with the exception of serum LDL-C concentration correlated positively with age. There were no statistically significant differences between the frequencies of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and TRIG between the male and female respondents. The most common form of Dyslipidemia in the male and female respondents is low HDL-C. BMI, SBP, LDL-C, HDLC and TRIG were associated metabolic syndrome with the association being significant for SBP and HDL-C (0.05; 0.03) in the male respondent, in the female respondents BMI, SBP, DBP, LDL-C and TRIG were associated metabolic syndrome with the association being significant for SBP, DBP, and TRIG (0.04; 0.04; 0.04) respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was highest in male (31.75%) than in the female respondents (28.33).The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is common in the population under study with the male respondents having the highest prevalence. A robust and well design intervention program by concerned authorities is desirable to address complications of the risk factors for metabolic syndrome in the population.

“…This work is in line with a study reported in Nigeria. 27 The high prevalence of MetS among females was previously reported in the African populations. [34][35][36][37] In the African population the waist circumference is a crucial determinant factor of MetS.…”

“…14 The finding of the current study is consistent with the pooled review among a healthy adult population in Ghana with the mean age of 36.7 years and a cross-sectional study conducted in Nigeria involving teachers and bank workers that found an incidence of 20-21.5% in working adults. 26,27 The prevalence of MetS in the working adults was much higher than the prevalence of 4.8% reported in a national survey in Ethiopia, 10 but the national survey had 88.5% of participants from rural areas. The high prevalence of MetS in our study could be due to a more sedentary lifestyle, increased pressure from the high work load, and changes in dietary patterns.…”

Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a public health challenge in low-income countries due to changing lifestyle and the food environment. However, studies on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated factors are limited in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence of MetS and its associated factors among working adults in eastern Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1,164 working adults from December 2018 to February 2019. Data were collected following the World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach. The data collection tools include a structured questionnaire, anthropometric, and biochemical measurements. Prevalence was calculated using International Diabetes Federation criteria. A Poisson regression model with robust variance estimation was used to investigate the independent variable’s association with MetS. An adjusted prevalence ratio with 95% confidence interval was reported to show associations. Results The prevalence of MetS was 20.1% (95% CI=17.8–22.4) among the participants. It was more prevalent among females (APR:=1.62, 95% CI=1.31–2.00), those of 35–44 years of age (APR:=3.14, 95% CI=1.19–8.28), 45–54 years of age (APR=4.42, 95% CI=1.66–11.77), and 55–64 years of age (APR=6.03, 95% CI=2.27–16.06), khat chewers (APR=1.30, 95% CI=1.06–1.60), those with 8 or more hours of sedentary behavior (APR=2.29, 95% CI=1.88–2.80), and those consuming alcohol 5–6 days per week (APR=1.81, 95% CI=1.20–2.74). The prevalence was significantly lower in those eating five or more fruits and vegetables servings per day (APR=0.04, 95% CI=0.01–0.27). Conclusion A high prevalence of MetS was observed among working adults in eastern Ethiopia. Strengthening workplace health promotion programs is necessary to reduce the negative consequences of MetS in workplaces and protect productivity.
