- Objective: To find out the relationship and occurrences of Metabolic Syndrome in diabetes and non-diabetes patients with increased waist size. Methods: The study was carried out at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore (September, 2016 to October, 2017). The sample was composed of 50 diabetes and 50 non-diabetes (100) patients. The patients were selected by non-probable sampling. Male and female patients within age range of (30 – 50) years were selected having waist perimeter >102 cm and > 88 cm respectively. All the participants were informed about the objective of the research. Exclusion criteria included patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes during pregnancy and nephrotic syndrome (Kidney problems). Fasting blood samples were obtained and analyzed for blood sugar and lipid routines. The size of the waist in standing position was measured for each patient. All the clinical and demographic factors were filled on a form and later the analysis of the outcomes was carried out through SPSS. Results: The ratio of males and females in diabetes patients was (62% & 32%) respectively whereas in non-diabetic, the ratio was (58% & 42%) respectively. All diabetic patients had dyslipidemia compared to 88% non-diabetics. The diabetes patients were suffering more from high blood pressure (88%) as compared to non-diabetic patients (34%). Metabolic syndrome prevalence was found in 60% diabetic cases; whereas, 28% non-diabetic patients were diagnosed (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The study inferred that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in diabetes patients is very high in people with increased waist size.
