Abstract EN
This study aims to collate all metabolic syndrome related studies among adults in Qatar, shedding light on gaps in knowledge related to this topic to be addressed in future research studies.
PubMed was used in searching for metabolic syndrome-related articles in Qatar, which was executed using relevant terms and was conducted with no restrictions.
A second search was executed at a later stage to include any recent publications.
A total of 20 articles were found to be relevant and related to the topic in hand.
Three definitions of metabolic syndrome were used across the reviewed studies, which were classified based on medical specialties.
The main findings and key components of each study were summarized.
Studies were unevenly distributed across various medical specialties.
This article serves to direct future research activities by identifying what aspects of the disease have been covered under current or past research projects and what more needs to be addressed comprehensively in view of clinical and public health significance.
