Popis: Every 10 years, an adult’s basal metabolic rate (BMR), independent of their BMI, decreases 1–2% due to skeletal muscle loss, thus decreasing an adult’s energy requirement and promoting obesity. Increased obesity augments the risk of developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS); however, an adult’s healthy lifestyle, which increases BMR, can mitigate MetS development. To compare different BMRs for certain ages, Metabolic age (Met-age) was developed. To assess the association between Met-age and MetS and to determine if Met-age is an indicator of high-risk individuals for MetS. Four hundred thirty-five attendees at 2 clinics agreed to participate and gave signed informed consent. MetS risk was assessed by the ESF-I questionnaire. Met-age was determined using a TANITA bio-analyzer. Strengthen of association was determined by calculating Spearman’s rho and predictability was evaluated by the area-under-a-receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). Difference-in-age (DIA) = [chronological age − Met-age]. There was a difference between the low-risk (n = 155) and the high-risk (n = 280) groups’ Met-age (37.8±16.7 v. 62.9±17.3) and DIA (1.3±17.4 v. − 10.5±20.8, p
