Abstract :

Background: Metabolic syndrome is described by WHO as a pathological disorder characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. It is hypothesized that elevated serum ferritin levels, in the absence of high transferrin saturation, have appeared during the last years as a common characteristic in some patients with metabolic syndrome. Objectives: 1. To identify the correlation between serum ferritin and components of metabolic syndrome. Methodology: A cross–sectional study was carried out in 102 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome as per NCEP (National Cholesterol Education Program) ATP III (Adult Treatment Panel III) (2001) attending the NRI medical college and Hospital during the study period, and their serum ferritin levels were studied to find any significant association exists. Results: In the present study, the mean age group of the study population was 57.38 ± 8.05. Gender distribution shows male 62.7% and female were 37.3. Study showed a significant correlation between serum ferritin and waist circumference (r=0.33, p–value <0.05), Total Cholesterol (r=0.310;p–value<0.0001), and LDL (r = 0.326; p value <0.0001). Conclusion: A significant correlation was observed between serum ferritin and waist circumference (r=0.33, pvalue <0.05), Total Cholesterol(r=0.310, pvalue<0.0001), and LDL(r = 0.326; p value <0.0001).
