Abstract:Introduction: Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is remarkably variable in India. There is lack of data with regard to prevalence and predictors of MS and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) from eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. We designed this study in order to know the prevalence and predictors of MS and it’s association with VDD from this area. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Varanasi. Data was collected from newly onset diabetic patients over a period of one year. Results: Among 309 diabetic patients, 71.84%, 73.79%, 77.02% and 83.17% were found to have MS by different criteria. Central obesity was the highest predictor of MS. This is followed by raised triglyceride, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol and hypertension. VDD was found in 59.09% and 70.21% of male and female patients respectively. VDD was more prevalent in MS patients. Conclusion: Prevalence of MS is very high in newly onset diabetic patients and it is strongly associated with VDD. Hence routine screening of MS and VDD in newly onset diabetic patients is essential for early diagnosis and treatment of both conditions to prevent the cardiovascular disease.
