Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome is defined as Syndrome X is a cluster of co-existing metabolic abnormalities like
obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia leading to a marked increase in
Diabetes mellitus and a five fold increase in CVD thereby imposing a great burden on public health and
clinical practice. Metabolic syndrome encompasses a set of conditions of which obesity in particular
visceral obesity, is an important component. Obesity has a positive correlation with incidence and severity
of diabetes. Aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in offspring of Type 2
diabetic population. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its
components in offsprings of type 2 diabetes Mellitus population and it includes 100 subjects who were
diabetic and presenting to Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad. Offspring of type II diabetes parents
exhibits higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome . Normoglycemic offspring exhibits higher prevalence of
hypertriglyceridemia indicating precedence of lipid abnormalities to glucose intolerance. Diabetic offspring
have a statistically significant prevalence of metabolic syndrome than the non diabetic offspring.
