Metabolic Syndrome Cognition Link

Meaning

The established bidirectional relationship between the constellation of cardiometabolic risk factors—including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance—and the subsequent development of cognitive impairment. This link underscores that systemic metabolic dysfunction is a potent driver of neuroinflammation and cerebrovascular compromise, significantly increasing the risk for accelerated cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. It is a critical area of focus in preventative health and longevity medicine.
