Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Autoimmune Markers in Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Study From Türkiye
In this study, one-third of adults were diagnosed with MetS, with no significant difference in overall prevalence between sexes. Men had lower HDL-C and higher triglycerides, while women showed higher abdominal obesity. In addition, 15.5% of participants were positive for ENA and FANA antibodies despite no clinical autoimmune disease. Socioeconomic disparities, including lower education and unemployment, were also associated with higher MetS prevalence. These findings highlight the importance of integrating both sex-related and socioeconomic factors into targeted screening strategies.
