The ENRICH study is aimed to Enpower patieNts with metabolic syndrome (Mets) to increase their Risk perception and to acquire health Information necessary for Capability building and promotion of Health information literacy, as well as health outcomes. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of this health information literacy promotion intervention based on Health Empowerment Theory in individuals with metabolic syndrome. The study aims to answer the following questions: Does the intervention improve health information literacy among study participants? Does the intervention lead to better health outcomes, including weight, waist circumference, BMI control, and metabolic health indicators (blood pressure, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and blood lipids)? Participants will: Undergo the intervention program for 6 weeks (face to face and online) and will be assessed regularly to monitor changes in terms of their level of health information literacy and health outcomes.
