Metabolic Syndrome Prevention

Meaning

Metabolic syndrome prevention involves a set of proactive clinical and lifestyle strategies designed to avert the clustering of specific risk factors that define the syndrome. These factors include central obesity, elevated blood pressure, high fasting glucose, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. This condition is a major driver of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, necessitating early intervention to mitigate systemic risk. The preventative focus is intrinsically linked to hormonal health, as endocrine dysregulation, particularly insulin resistance and cortisol imbalance, underlies its development.
