Background of the Study
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions—including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels—that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Lifestyle factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, and smoking, play a major role in the development of metabolic syndrome. Evidence suggests that adopting a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management, can prevent or reverse metabolic syndrome.
In Kwara State, rising cases of metabolic syndrome highlight the need for preventive measures. The prevalence of unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and low levels of physical activity contribute to increasing health risks. This study aims to appraise the role of lifestyle modifications in preventing metabolic syndrome, with a focus on dietary adjustments, exercise, and behavioral changes.

There is limited research on the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in Kwara State, necessitating this study to evaluate their role in preventing metabolic syndrome.
