Abstract
Aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence of metabolic diseases in ostensibly healthy adults living in Pakistan, focusing on disease specific and associated risk factors while correlating lifestyle/ dietary habits with markers of metabolic health.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of primary studies encapsulated within national health surveys. Adults meeting fitness criteria were eligible, and exclusion criteria included the following health conditions. The sampling methods were conducted to obtain representative global samples from diverse geographic regions, allowed for statistical meta-analysis and subgroup analyses.
Results: The results show a high prevalence of metabolic disease in the studied sample in apparently fit adults to Pakistan, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (type Dimi), hypertension and dyslipidaemia with obesity. We found a variation in prevalence among urban and rural areas, due to socioeconomic disparities and genetic risk factors. Lifestyle traits (dietaries, physical activity), as well economic status where the next Category III clusters showed a significant effect on metabolic health.
