the tendency of several conditions to occur together, including obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes or pre-diabetes, hypertension, and high lipids.
is defined as the addition of one of the following symptoms : type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance ; to two of the following symptoms : hypertension, obesity, hypertriglyceridaemia or low HDL, microalbuminuria. Others symptoms not required for the definition such as hyperuricaemia, hypercaogulability, hyperleptinaemia may be part of the syndrome.
The atherogenic lipid triad of low HDL, high triglycerides, and small, dense LDL.
A condition whereby a series of clinical problems such as central obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance, lipid abnormalities, hypertension, insulin resistance and microalbuminuria tend to be present in the same subject. This syndrome is considered a very important risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

A collection of metabolic risk factors in one individual. The root causes of metabolic syndrome are overweight/obesity, physical activity, and genetic factors. Various risk factors have been included in metabolic syndrome. Factors generally accepted as being characteristic of this syndrome include abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance with or without glucose intolerance, prothrombotic state, and proinflammatory state.
Describes constellation of multiple metabolic risk factors likely due to insulin resistance. These include high TG levels, low HDL-C level, hypertension, glucose intolerance or diabetes, hypercoagulability, and increased inflammatory markers.
a disorder characterized by a cluster of health problems including obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal lipid levels and high blood sugar
Grouping of risk factors strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and likelihood of progression to type 2 diabetes.
Also known as insulin-resistance syndrome, this is a group of heart disease risk factors that may place a person at risk for heart disease. A person may have metabolic syndrome if at least three of the five following conditions are present: excessive weight around the waist, high blood pressure, low levels of HDL, high fasting glucose levels or high levels of triglycerides..
a medical condition (sometimes called Insulin Resistance or Syndrome X) that is characterized by a cluster of health-related findings that include abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated triglyceride levels, elevated blood sugar levels and below-normal levels of HDL cholesterol.
Metabolic syndrome (also known as syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome) is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease. Metabolic syndrome is present if you have three of the following characteristics: Abdominal obesity (waist circumference greater than 40 inches in men or 35 inches in women) High triglyceride levels Low HDL cholesterol levels High blood pressure High blood sugar Return to previous page.
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that increase one's risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It affects a large number of people in a clustered fashion. In some studies, the prevalence in the USA is calculated as being up to 25% of the population.
