Abstract

Age related changes in basic health parameters, cardio respiratory functions and clinical parameters contribute to the risk of comorbidity including metabolic syndrome in women. The paper aims to understand the risk factors responsible or beginning of metabolic syndrome and related morbidities among adult women with age. A cross sectional study was carried out among the 121 women of age 25 to 65 years. The data on cardio respiratory, anthropometric and clinical variables was collected after taking the prior informed and signed written consent from each participant. SPSS version 26.0 was used for the data analysis Age related changes in adiposity, blood pressure, lung functions and clinical parameters were obtained. The present findings indicate beginning of metabolic diseases risk and CVD risk among women of more than 45 years. This cross-sectional study of women can help researchers or health educators to identify the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and comorbidity in middle aged women. An early awareness and management of such risk with life style modification may go long way for better quality of life among women
