Cardiometabolic Disease

Meaning

Cardiometabolic disease represents a cluster of interrelated conditions that significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. These conditions typically include abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, reflecting a systemic disruption of energy balance and vascular function. Understanding this disease spectrum is essential in hormonal health, as many endocrine disorders directly contribute to or are exacerbated by cardiometabolic risk factors.
