What is metabolic syndrome? Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic disorders. When a patient presents with these conditions together, the chances for future cardiovascular disease is greater than any one factor presenting alone. For example, high blood pressure alone is a serious condition, but when a patient has high blood pressure along with high fasting glucose levels and abdominal obesity, this patient may be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. There is a greater cha...nce this patient will have cardiovascular problems because of the combination of risk factors. Metabolic syndrome is a serious health condition that affects about 23 percent of adults and places them at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and diseases related to fatty buildups in artery walls. The underlying causes of metabolic syndrome include overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, genetic factors and getting older. Metabolic syndrome occurs when a person has three or more of the following measurements: *Abdominal obesity (Waist circumference of greater than 40 inches in men, and greater than 35 inches in women) *Triglyceride level of 150 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) or greater *HDL cholesterol of less than 40 mg/dL in men or less than 50 mg/dL in women *Systolic blood pressure (top number) of 130 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or greater, or diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) of 85 mm Hg or greater *Fasting glucose of 100 mg/dL or greater Although metabolic syndrome is a serious condition, you can reduce your risks significantly by reducing your weight; increasing your physical activity; eating a heart-healthy diet that's rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and fish; and working with your healthcare provider to monitor and manage blood glucose, blood cholesterol, and blood pressure.
