Metabolic syndrome is a condition associated with abdominal
obesity, hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and elevated blood
pressure - that are thought to be linked to insulin resistance and
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Metabolic syndrome affects a quarter to a third of adults.
Metabolic syndrome encapsulates the contribution of
non-traditional risk factors and provides a clinically useful
framework for early identification of people at increased
long-term risk.
Lifestyle interventions, such as physical activity, healthy diet and
weight reduction, are suggested to improve the condition, to
reduce long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Drugs may be needed to correct for the dyslipidemia, normalize
blood glucose and reduce blood pressure. [1,2]
