Currently no data is available on the distribution of metabolic syndrome among Bangladeshi men in the State of Qatar. We investigated the distribution of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its risk factors in Bangladeshi men in Doha, Qatar. Qatar, a newly developing country, has a large male Bangladeshi work force and in order to assess the prevalence of MetS in this group of workers, a population-based study was undertaken. MetS was estimated by using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. A random sample of subjects attending Al Wafideen Primary Health Care Center in Qatar were invited to the study. Anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical data were recorded and analyzed. Our result revealed that MetS was present in 42 % of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among other risk factors for metabolic syndrome were obesity, high triglyceride level, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. Since patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are more prone to develop metabolic syndrome thereby representing a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Adequate and prompt measures must be taken to identify and prevent the grave consequences of the metabolic syndrome.
