Abstract
The current study establishes the framework for extensive research in the
field of Metabolic syndrome and Body composition and the underlying causes,
prevalence rate, Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) towards a healthy lifestyle
with a comprehensive lifestyle education awareness. The study's objectives were
to: evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, analyse body composition,
evaluate the subjects' KAP and educate on a healthy lifestyle. A total of 1359
participants, both males and females at 20-50years, residing in Bengaluru, visiting
the Preventive Health Checkup of Sakra World Hospital, Bengaluru were enrolled.
Validated assessment tools, InBody 770 equipment and lifestyle education
counselling materials were used in the study. Metabolic syndrome was prevalent
at 13.2%. The physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol habit, high calories consumption
and low BMR were found to be the risk factors for metabolic syndrome and
statistically significant p<0.001. The metabolic syndrome criteria (NCEP ATP III
2002, revised in 2005) were significantly high in metabolic syndrome subjects. Out
of 180 metabolic syndrome subjects 150 participated in further study. Body
composition analysis was done for these subjects. Central obesity was observed
in 11.9%, high blood pressure among 15.4%, high triglycerides in 26.0%, low HDL-
cholesterol among 31.9% and high fasting glucose in 3.7% of the metabolic
syndrome subjects. The body composition parameters of total body water, protein,
minerals, skeletal muscle mass, BMR and whole body phase angle was high in
males and females had higher body fat mass, BMI, body fat% and visceral fat area
and the values were statistically significant p<0001. The lifestyle intervention was
given for these subjects and the data was compared pre-and post intervention.
Postinterventional data showed statistical significance for the reduction in waist
circumference, fasting blood sugars, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure , calories
consumed to attain weight loss goals, body fat%, visceral fat area. There was
statistically significant increase, post-intervention in exercise habit, physical activity
level, knowledge, attitude and practice regarding healthy diet, physical activity,
body composition and healthy lifestyle. Thus, a combination of diet, physical activity
and healthy habits improved the overall health status of the subjects.
