- Research on metabolic syndrome (MetS) management in older Qataris is scarce, prompting a study focused on risk factors and clinical treatment among individuals aged 60 and above.
- The study, conducted at Rumailah Hospital, revealed that 97% of patients had MetS, with high prevalence rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
- Findings highlight the need for early detection and intervention strategies, urging further research to enhance treatment and prevention of MetS in Qatar's aging population.
