Abstract
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of established cardiovascular risk factors that collectively increase predisposition to major chronic diseases including heart diseases and diabetes mellitus. Citizens of developing countries such as Saudi Arabia are at risk for MetS secondary to industrialization and accessibility to fast foods. In this epidemiologic study, the kingdom-wide prevalence of MetS is determined.
