Metabolic syndrome is not a disease. But it's a condition found in people under the age of 5 that doubles the risk of cancer by the time they reach age 65, meaning it's the kind of condition that increases the risk of obesity in the body. The condition of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and uncontrolled cholesterol is called metabolic syndrome. Besides heart diseases, it also increases the risk of diseases like cancer and stroke.

The National Institute of Nutrition under ICMR conducted the study on youth below 30 years of age working in three major IT companies. Surveys reveal that every second employee is overweight or morbidly obese. 6 out of 10 employees had high levels of HDL (cholesterol) which is a risk factor for heart related diseases. In this study, 44.2% of employees were overweight, 16.85% were obese, 3.89% had diabetes and 64.93% had elevated cholesterol levels.

According to the study, youth are mostly employed in sectors like IT and business process outsourcing (BPO), but the food and environment of workplaces make them obese. The study is included in the medical journal MDPI.
