Study population: Power analysis was performed using the G\*Power (v3.1.9) program to determine the number of samples. According to Jacob Cohen's effect size coefficients, it was calculated that there should be at least 105 people in the groups for α=0.05 and 1-β=0.95 (95% power) levels, assuming that the evaluations between the two independent groups would have a medium effect size (d=0.5).

Brief summary: The aim was to determine the coronavirus anxiety levels and emotional eating status of cases with diagnosis of MetS according to diagnostic criteria published by the International Diabetic Federation (IDF) in 2005 and healthy individuals with similar BMI to MetS subjects.

Detailed description: The aim was to determine the coronavirus anxiety levels and emotional eating status of cases with diagnosis of MetS according to diagnostic criteria published by the International Diabetic Federation (IDF) in 2005 and healthy individuals with similar BMI to MetS subjects. This study was completed with the descriptive, cross-sectional and relational screening model. The full sampling method was used in the study. The study was completed with 105 individuals with metabolic syndrome attending the diet clinic and 109 healthy individuals without MetS diagnosis also attending the diet clinic. Collection of data used anthropometric measurements and biochemical findings, blood pressure and a survey form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) and Emotional Eating Scale (EES).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* The research included individuals aged 18 years and older, who were not pregnant or breastfeeding, without any psychological disorder diagnosed by psychiatry, without diagnosis of COVID-19 and not using any psychiatric medications. The MetS group for the research included individuals with metabolic syndrome diagnosis according to IDF-2005 diagnostic criteria. The non MetS group in the research included healthy individuals not using any psychiatric medications, without any chronic disorder, and with similar BMI to the individuals in the subject group.

Exclusion Criteria:

* The research included individuals aged 18 years and older, who were pregnant or breastfeeding, with psychological disorder diagnosed by psychiatry, with diagnosis of COVID-19 and using psychiatric medications.
