| dc.description.abstract | Backgroud: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and its components is reported to be higher in population with mental illness as compared to general population across al diagnostic categories. There is a paucity of studies on the baseline prevalence of MS and its these studes have produced mixed results. The present study was therefore carried out in patients attending the out-patient (OPD) psychiatry department. Aims and Objective:To find out and compare the prevalence and socio-demographic and clinical correlates of MS in drug native patients of anxiety and depressive disorders. Materials and Methods: Socio-demographic details, were collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. Results and Conclusions: The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 23.5% while it was 46.2% in the depressive group and 9.5% in the anxiety group. 50% of the sample fulfilled at least one criterion for MS. While age, all MS components predicted MS overall; HDL, waist circumference and BMI predicted MS in depressive patient and HDL and triglyceride abnormalities predicted MS in the anxiety group. | en_US |
