RESUMEN

Obesity by itself is not an immediate lethal disease, however, it is a significant risk factor associated with a range of serious noncommunicable diseases. Our aim is to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in interns coming from higher socioeconomic class. Sixty one interns participated in the study. BMI, WHR and blood chemistry were performed. EGIR criteria were considered to identify the metabolic syndrome. According to EGIR criteria, insulin resistance was found in 24.5% cases and metabolic syndrome exists in 14.7% of overweight/obese interns. Insulin resistance as per HOMA-IR was found in 6% of those having metabolic syndrome. High diastolic blood pressure, low HDLc are prone to develop metabolic syndrome by six times where as an increase in WHR (central obesity) particularly in male are eleven times more prone to develop metabolic syndrome. Abbreviations :–EGIR – European Group for Insulin Resistance, HOMAIR – Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), WHR – waist hip ratio. HDLc–HDL cholesterol.
