Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprises a collection of conditions that elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and early mortality. However, research on MetS among healthcare workers are limited. Objective: determining the prevalence and related risk factors of MetS among healthcare workers. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in 459 healthcare workers who received routine health assessments at S.I.S. Can Tho International General Hospital from April to November 2024. Results: The prevalence of MetS based on the IDF 2009 criteria was 12.9%, with rates of 16.7% in males and 10.9% in females. Three of the components of MetS were present in 66.1% of participants, with low HDL cholesterol being the most common, affecting 32% of them. The risk of MetS significantly correlated with low physical activity, excessive alcohol use, a history of hypertension, and overweight/obesity. The likelihood of developing MetS was 26 times greater (95% CI: 1,58 - 426,84) in people with four risk factors compared to those without any of them. Conclusion: the prevalence of MetS among healthcare professionals was significantly elevated. Comprehensive screening and intervention of risk factors are crucial for diminishing the development of MetS, thereby enhancing health outcomes and prolonging the longevity of healthcare workers.
