Brief Summary

This study investigates how the quality of a person's diet may be related to metabolic syndrome, which includes health issues such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abdominal obesity. The research uses existing data from the 2017 Turkey Nutrition and Health Survey, focusing on adults aged 19 and over. The study does not involve any medical treatments or new data collection. It aims to support public health efforts by identifying links between eating patterns and metabolic health in the Turkish population.
