Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and analyse its corelation with metabolic and clinical parameters in patients admitted in HHMH & R, Shimla.

Material and Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was conducted at the HHMH & R, Shimla. 46 patients in total with a primary psychiatric diagnosis as per ICD 10 were included and assessed for metabolic syndrome. For diagnosing MetSNCEP criterion was applied. Chi-square was used for all the comparisons.

Results: In our observation prevalence of MetS came out to be 39.1% and was higher in males (28.2%) in comparison with females (10.8%). Prevalence was higher innon-psychotic patients (21.7%), whereas it was lesser in psychotic patients (17.4%). In patients who were on second generation antipsychotics the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly higher (66%).

Conclusion: 39% of the participated hospitalized patients met the criteria for MetS and they tend to have significantly higher adiposity measures, cardiovascular markers, more likely to have comorbid conditions and history of substance use.
