Preventing Metabolic Disease

Meaning

Preventing Metabolic Disease is a proactive clinical imperative focused on implementing comprehensive lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to avert the development of a cluster of conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and central obesity. This preventative approach relies on early identification and correction of precursor states like insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and chronic low-grade inflammation, often before overt disease manifestation. Success is measured by maintaining optimal body composition, glucose homeostasis, and cardiovascular risk factors over the lifespan.
