| Abstract: | Introduction: The prevalence of the key determinants of metabolic syndrome (MS); hypertension, diabetes, elevated body mass index, dyslipidaemias, and central obesity are on a steady rise due to the westernization of diets and adoption of more sedentary lifestyles, all favoured by a rural to urban migration. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the perception/knowledge of metabolic MS, risk factors, management, and prevention of MS in the Bamenda Health District. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study where data was collected at a point in time, from January 2023 to April 2023. The study targeted 565 adults’ population aged 18-89 years old living within the Bamenda Health Districts and an interview guide was used for data collection. Data analysis was done using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Result: Most of the study participants (45.5%) could identify conditions like obesity, hypertension, and high blood sugar, which are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. A majority (48%) of the respondents had no idea about metabolic syndrome and did not know that MS affects someone through the presence of obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol in the blood combined. For gender, age group, and education, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The respondents (49.4%) understand that daily physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes or 60 minutes if overweight, can prevent the risk of getting hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, while others (35%) did not. Conclusion: The study demonstrated poor knowledge /awareness of MS in the Bamenda Health District, with a representative population of the North West Region of Cameroon. Persuasive education is needed to improve adherence to a healthier to increase awareness and improve the lifestyle of the population on metabolic syndrome and its driving factors. |
