Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common chronic condition that has become an important public health concern and considered a worldwide epidemic. MetS predisposes individuals to risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and coronary artery disease. The incidence of MetS could be remedied with education and lifestyle modification.
