Cases and controls blood pressure, abdominal circumference and body mass index were reported. Venous blood samples were taken from all after at least 10 hours fasting for determination of serum level of cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein. Glucose level and HbA1c were also measured. Cases and controls were compared in all measures above looking for the differences. The metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to criteria of national cholesterol education program. Results: in cases fasting blood glucose,waist circumference,serum triglyceride, high density lipoprotein ,blood pressure, total cholesterol were found to be 87.5% (35 cases),130% (52 cases), 50 % (20 cases), 64.5% (28 cases), 62.5%(25 cases), 42.5% (17 cases)respectively. In control group, fasting blood glucose 100% (40 cases), waist circumference 70% (27 cases) , serum triglyceride, high density lipoprotein ,blood pressure, total cholesterol………….. were found to be 40% (16 cases), …. respectively. Conclusion: In this study the frequency of the metabolic syndrome was found significantly high, especially in women between 40 to 60 years.
