Eligible studies included adults (\u2265\u200918 years) with MetS, defined by established criteria, and reported CAC scores via validated CT imaging techniques. Observational studies and RCTs were included. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.

The pooled prevalence of CAC in adults with MetS was 39.8% (95% CI: 28.4%\u201352.5%), with wide variation across study design, geography, and imaging modality. Males had a higher CAC prevalence (RR: 2.00), and MetS was linked to increased CAC scores (SMD: 0.10) and odds of calcification (OR: 1.34\u20131.50). Subgroup analyses showed variability by region and CT modality.
