Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is an association of proatherogenic clinical and biochemical abnormalities, that is considered to contribute to the epidemic of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MS in the general population of Hunedoara County and to identify its components and factors that influence its presence. A cross-sectional study was conducted, which included 4677 subjects. Applying the International Diabetes Federation 2005 definition we found that 2141 people had MS, giving a prevalence of 45.78%.
