Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a major public health concern that increases the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a military town in Tehran. The findings revealed a notably high prevalence of metabolic syndrome within the study population. According to the results of the study, urgent interventions in health policies focusing on a healthy diet, physical activity, and systematic screening are recommended to reduce the long-term burden of chronic diseases.
