Abstract
In today’s society 22% of the population seem to suffer from metabolic syndrome (MetS), especially office workers have a high prevalence between 7-58% (Strauss et al., 2020) (Chini et al., 2014). So far research has proven its effectiveness in diagnosing and determining risk factors, the correlation establishing causalities, however, remains unknown. In order to help office workers and society to bring down this vastly increasing number of one out of five incidences in office workers, this thesis aim was to investigate why certain biomarkers (namely triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and blood sugar) are important and how these levels could potentially help detection before the syndrome progresses. This thesis also investigated which non-invasive detection devices and mechanisms are present outside of the body. The research concluded, stating that all levels, and especially blood sugar levels, play a central role in the development of MetS. However, the non- invasive technology that is available to directly measure these levels needs to be further developed to allow for early detection. Meaning that the key in early detection in the nearby future lies in non- invasive monitoring of food intake.
