Overview

Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of conditions – increased waist circumference, high triglyceride levels, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood glucose – that occur simultaneously, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. People with Metabolic Syndrome are at an increased risk for a variety of health problems, including stroke, heart attack and type 2 diabetes, so screening for and treating individuals with this condition is essential for optimal health. Metabolic Syndrome is associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity and smoking. Following healthy lifestyle habits and being aware of the risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome can help prevent or delay the onset of the condition. Treatment can also include medications, such as statins and diuretics, to help manage the individual conditions associated with Metabolic Syndrome.
