Abstract: Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of risk factors that raises risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other health problems. Aim and Objectives: The study aimed to find out correlation between leptin level and MS components. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized cross-sectional study involved 150 MS patient. Fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, lipid profiles, leptin and insulin assays, and other anthropometrics measures were measured using standard protocols. Results: The results revealed that there was significant correlation between leptin level and body mass index, gender, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin, P < 0.01. Conclusion: This study was showed that there was significant impact of leptin level on MS. [Natl J Physiol Pharm Pharmacol 2021; 11(11.000): 1298-1303]
