Metabolic Syndrome Neurocognitive Compromise

Meaning

The clinically observed impairment of cognitive function, encompassing measurable deficits in memory, executive function, and attention, directly attributable to the systemic metabolic derangements characteristic of metabolic syndrome. These derangements typically include chronic hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and central obesity. This compromise underscores the critical and often overlooked link between vascular, hormonal, and metabolic health and the structural and functional integrity of the central nervous system.
