Reaven syndrome is a string of metabolic abnormalities including hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia. Sedentarization of occupation due to urbanization is the root cause of all evil either it be in rural or urban population. Study was done to see the various addictive behaviours taking influence on metabolic syndrome and the habitat emphasis on this syndrome. We did an observational study on 500 patients (250 patients each of CVA and CAD) from April 2019 to June 2020 in our department via fulfilling the criteria. Metabolic syndrome has predominance in the urban habitat (55.15%). There is higher percentage of association of smoking/tobacco among non-metabolic syndrome cases (53.62%) than that in metabolic syndrome (51.58%) which was statistically proved significant with p value <0.002. Percentage of alcohol addiction was found more among the metabolic (23.80%) than the non-metabolic cases (21%). Environmental factors influences the occurrence of the syndrome so healthy life style practices could have effect in prevention of the syndrome and its complications.
