Fig. 5: Heatmap of metabolic syndrome prevalence in 2023 by age group and region, stratified by sex.
From: Worldwide trends in metabolic syndrome from 2000 to 2023: a systematic review and modelling analysis
Heatmap showing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (%) in 2023 across world regions and age groups, separately for men and women. Cell shading indicates the prevalence within each stratum. The heatmap highlights both the age gradient of metabolic syndrome prevalence and regional heterogeneity. The colour scale ranges from green (lower prevalence) to red (higher prevalence), with darker shading reflecting greater burden.
