Abstract

The occurrence of hypertension, obesity, dysglycaemia and dyslipidaemia together has been
shown to result in increased risk of development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This
present study assessed prevalence of components and the socio-demographic determinants of
metabolic syndrome.
Methods: A cross- sectional descriptive study was conducted. Lagos and Ogun States were
purposively selected. Selection of an urban and a rural community in Lagos and Ogun state
respectively was done using multi stage sampling methods. Consecutive sampling was used to
select apparently healthy subjects 18 years and above. Metabolic syndrome was defined based on
the Joint Interim Statement (JIS) criteria. Regression analysis was used to assess the
determinants of metabolic syndrome and its components.
Results: Five hundred and thirty-five subjects were recruited with the mean age of 47.1±14.7
years. About 14% of subjects had no MetS components. More of the females than males had two
(37.5% vs 24.7%, p =0.005) and three (17.2% vs 6.8%, p = 0.002) components of MetS. Generally,
the most prevalent component of MetS were central obesity (49.5%), hypertension (42.1%) and
reduced HDL cholesterol (41.5%). The proportion of subjects with two, three and four components
of MetS increased with age. The prevalence of MetS based on the JIS criteria was 23%. Gender
(OR 3.05, 95% CI 1.72 – 5.44, p < 0> alcohol intake (OR 2.407, 95% CI 1.37 – 4.2, p = 0.002) were the determinants of MetS in this
study.
Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS and its components were high in this study especially among
females. The need of life style modification to reduce the prevalence of MetS and its components
cannot be overemphasized.
