Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It is characterized by high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, elevated glucose levels, dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats) and inflammation. It is a major public health concern as it increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, asthma and some forms of cancer. Metabolic syndrome can be managed with lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking and taking medications such as statins, blood pressure medications, or insulin. Treatment can help reduce the risk of developing serious health complications.
