Non-communicable disease conditions such as the metabolic syndrome further strain the already insufficient health resources in Africa, where communicable diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS are still causing significant morbidity and mortality. We studied the frequency and determinants of the syndrome in apparently healthy Nigerian volunteers in order to provide a basis for the establishment of a prevention programme.
