Metabolic Syndrome: Consequences on Health, Prevention, and Management

Sununta Youngwanichsetha

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is abdominal obesity diagnosed from waist circumference, plasma glucose level, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, and blood pressure that met the three of five criteria. It is a known risk factor for developing diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, and other related diseases causing illness and death among population worldwide. Previous research evidence shows that lifestyle modification can prevent or reverse the condition, or delay development of complications. Early detection, metabolic counseling and management might improve life expectancy and quality of life.
