TL;DR
There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in an urban Indian population and focus of cardiovascular prevention should be at this high-risk group.
Abstract
There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in an urban Indian population. Focus of cardiovascular prevention should be at this high-risk group.

Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

4,064 Citations1997Christopher Murray, Alan D López
The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) used various data sources and made corrections for miscoding of important diseases (eg, ischaemic heart disease) to estimate worldwide and regional cause-of-death patterns in 1990, and the estimates by cause provide a foundation for a more informed debate on public-health priorities.

1,622 Citations1991Paul McKeigue, B Shah +1 more
The results confirm the existence of an insulin resistance syndrome, prevalent in South Asian populations and associated with a pronounced tendency to central obesity in this group, and control of obesity and greater physical activity offer the best chances for prevention of diabetes and CHD.

409 Citations2002Peter H. Whincup
British South Asian children show higher average levels of insulin and insulin resistance than white children, and ethnic differences in insulin resistance in childhood are not associated with corresponding differences in adiposity, particularly central adiposity.

These results are consistent with the hypothesis that insulin resistance underlies the high coronary risk in South Asian people and strengthen the evidence for a fundamental role of this metabolic pattern in the etiology of coronary heart disease.

The Western Working Group believes that cardiovascular dysmetabolic syndrome (CDS) is the name that best describes this group of abnormalities, because it emphasizes the cardiovascular consequences of these abnormalities, recognizes that they are distinguishable abnormalities, and indicates that any given patient may have some or all of the components of the syndrome.
