Abstract

Objective: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and metabolic risk factors are the leading 6 causes of mortality and morbidity in recent decades, yet the burden of metabolic syndrome 7 (MetS) has not been carefully assessed in Vietnam. The present review thus aims to examine 8 the prevalence of MetS and its related factors in Vietnam. 9 Design: A systematic review was conducted with searches of literature in PubMed/Medline, 10 Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus until July 2021. We selected descriptive and analytic 11 studies which reported the prevalence of MetS and related factors among healthy people aged 12 less than 65 years old rather than morbid people in Vietnam. Meta-analysis with the random13 effects model was applied to estimate the pooled prevalence from the included studies. 14 Results: Eighteen studies with 35421 participants were included in the final analysis. The 15 overall pooled MetS prevalence among the adult population in Vietnam was 16.1% (95%CI: 16 14.1% - 18.1%). Higher prevalence was seen among females (17.3%, 95%CI: 13.8% - 20.8%) 17 compared to males (14.7%, 95%CI: 10.9% - 18.6%). Low HDL-C was the most prevalent 18 component (34.1%), followed by high triglyceride (33.3%). Being females, living in urban 19 areas, having obesity, higher BMI, or body fat percentage were more likely associated with 20 MetS. 21 Conclusion: MetS was common in the Vietnamese population. Low HDL-C should be 22 considered as an early detectable indicator for MetS screening programs at the population level. 23 Appropriate interventions should be conducted for high-risk groups such as females, those 24 living in urban areas, and those having obesity.
