Abstract:
The association between Vitamin D and metabolic syndrome was reviewed. This link is a contentious issue that has caught the attention of many researchers around the world. Metabolic syndrome is a set of conditions that can occur within the human body. This review focuses on diabetes (type 1 & 2), increased blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and obesity, which is largely based on abdominal obesity. Importance was given to vitamin D supplements. Review research was conducted using Goggle Scholar, PubMed, and Research Gate until December 2020. The key words used as the search engine were: vitamin D, metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, and the role of vitamin D with each of the components. Preference was given to those studies that observed the inverse relation of vitamin D with metabolic syndrome. From the 52 studies examined, 36 studies were related to vitamin D and its connection with the elements of metabolic syndrome. Ten studies were related to a general connection. The link of vitamin D with metabolic syndrome was examined by including 26 studies. The bow tie approach was used in the process of review along with the use of PRISMA flow chart. Based on empirical research, it can be concluded that low vitamin D levels play a vital part in the development of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome whereas the adequate consumption of vitamin D lowers down the risk of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
