Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. These risk factors include abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, elevated triglycerides, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet, are essential in managing metabolic syndrome and reducing the risk of associated complications.
