Comparison of prevalence of metabolic disorders of urban and rural adults of Punjab, India
A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in urban and rural areas of Ludhiana district, Punjab. A total of 1000 subjects aged 25–65 years were selected for screening. The study found that both urban and rural areas had an average body mass index above 23.0 kg/m2...

| description | A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in urban and rural areas of Ludhiana district, Punjab. A total of 1000 subjects aged 25–65 years were selected for screening. The study found that both urban and rural areas had an average body mass index above 23.0 kg/m2, with rural populations having higher waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist–hip ratios. Abdominal obesity was more prevalent in women in both areas. Rural men and women had higher fasting blood glucose and systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure levels. MetS prevalence in urban areas is lower among men (7%) and women (10%) compared to rural areas (34% and 26%). The timely detection of metabolic disorder risk factors and intervention can effectively address MetS in the Indian population, thereby improving the country's health statistics. |
