Summary: Abstract: The objectives of this study were to determine the relationships of lifestyle and metabolic syndrome among FEU-NRMF medical interns age 20 years old and above and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among medical interns using NCE/ATP III modified by the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) 2005. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among FEU-NRMF interns was 14%. It was highest (19%) among post graduate interns and among males (23%). Low level of HDL cholesterol was the predominant risk factor which was seen in 54% of the respondents for both genders, 32% in male and 68% in female. Blood pressure was normal in all interns. An elevated fasting blood sugar (67%) and low HDL cholesterol (68%) were seen more among females. While elevated triglycerides was seen more among males (54%). The metabolic syndrome is most common in interns with abnormal waist circumference with a prevalence of 58%. It was lower than 78.8% prevalence in the general population (2003 6th NNS: Clinical Phase). It was like wise present in all of those with elevated fasting blood sugar and majority (73%) of those with elevated triglycerides. Among lifestyle factors, metabolic syndrome is thrice more likely to develop among smokers. Alcoholism is a significant confounder in a relationship between smoking and metabolic syndrome. In the population surveyed, majority had no exercise, diet was predominantly unhealthy and stress level was predominantly average. The data shown in his study provide a base for application in the formulation of appropriate intervention to include lifestyle modifications, healthy diet campaigns and strong campaigns for smoking cessation
