This complex of metabolic abnormalities is a risk factor for DM2, stroke, adverse cardiacevents, and hepatic necrosis. In the last few years, studies showed a significant high prevalence of this syndromeamong Saudi males. Central visceral adiposity is thought to be the primary trigger of most pathogenic eventsinvolved in the advent of the syndrome. Objectives: In this paper, our aim is to discuss metabolic syndrome, itsdefinitions, pathophysiology, diagnosis, screening, and the management done for such patients in general withspecial focus to primary healthcare. Methodology: PubMed database was used for articles selection. Conclusion:The syndrome is linked with significant impacts on the patient health; as a result, the health care providers shallbe alarmed on how to screen, diagnose and manage such disease. Prevention of childhood obesity is criticalthrough screening and early diagnosis to save major burden and prevent future complications. Thus, nowadays,the new trend is towards incorporating screening of this syndrome in primary health care centers.Metabolic Syndromescreeningdiagnosisfamily physicianprimary health careJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Umm Alqura University, Makkah, KSADepartment of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Al Majmaah University, Al Majmaah, KSADepartment of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, King Faisal University, Al Ahsa, KSAMinistry of Defense, Armed Force Hospital, Taif, Saudi ArabiaMinistry of Defense, Armed Force Hospital, Khamis Mushait, Saudi ArabiaMinistry of Health, Primary Health Care Center, Ghabira, KSADepartment of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Almaarefa University, Riyadh KSA
