English Abstract
The metabolic syndrome prevalence among diabetics was dramatically increasing with the adoption of sedentary lifestyles among Jordanians.
This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of the diabetes mellitus (DM) among Alkarak population, metabolic syndrome (MS) among type 2 diabetes mellitus using Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria among southern Jordanians, and impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and their epidemiological patterns and associated risk factors.
Data were obtained and analyzed from a cross-sectional hospital-based study (N = 3078) Alkarak population aged ≥ 25 years old, and the total number of diabetics was 650.
The identification of metabolic syndrome was based on ATP III criteria.
The prevalence of the MS was 34.2 % (males = 17 % and females = 45.2 %).
The MS prevalence was associated with in males and females.
The prevalence of the MS was significantly higher in females (Chi-square = 10.09 and p-value = 0.001).
BMI, weight, waist circumference, and blood sugar level were significantly decreased after implementation of the nutritional educational program, with t-test and p-value (9.6, p < 0.001 ; 11.5, p < 0.001 ; 10.6, p < 0.001; and 11.13, p < 0.001, respectively).
The metabolic syndrome prevalence in Alkarak is noticeably higher than in other countries.
An interventional nutritional and health education programs were highly needed in Alkarak population.
