摘要：Metabolic syndrome is a common condition occurring all over the world which is also known by other terminology such as Dysmetabolic syndrome,Syndrome X,Insulin Resistance syndrome,Obesity syndrome,or Reaven's syndrome.Metabolic syndrome is constituted by a group of Risk Factors such as Trunkal Obesity,Impaired or Altered Glucose Tolerance,Dyslipidemia and Hypertension.Individuals with these risk factors are at a greater risk of developing a cardiovascular disease or Type 2 Diabetes.NCEP,National Heart,lung and Blood Institute,National Institutes of Health periodically publishes ATP clinical updates as warranted by advances in the cholesterol management.Each of the guideline reports - ATP I,II and III - has a major thrust in Cardiovascular Risk Management.While some of the features of ATP I and ATP II are shared by ATP III guidelines,there are some salient differences.ATP III focuses on Multiple risk factors and recommends the use of Framingham projections of 10 year absolute risk,modifies lipid and lipoprotein classification and supports for implementation of a revised schedule for screening and Therapeutic Life-style Changes.DRDO has embarked upon a program to assess the occupational health risk and the coronary risk status of the DRDO and defence employees.The present paper describes incidence of Metabolic Syndrome amongst the DRDO and Defence employees,using the ATP III guidelines and importance of calculating the absolute coronary risk status of these personnel.
