Health! Metabolic Syndrome!

Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for CHD, Stroke and type 2 Diabetes.



Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause, but all of the syndrome's risk factors are related to obesity.
Metabolic syndrome is associated with many conditions and risk factors. The two most important risk factors are:
  • Extra weight around the middle of the body (central obesity). The body may be described as "apple-shaped."
  • Insulin resistance, in which the body cannot use insulin effectively. Insulin is needed to help control the amount of sugar in the body.
Insulin helps blood sugar (glucose) enter cells. If you have insulin resistance, your body doesn't respond to insulin, and blood sugar cannot get into cells. As a result, the body produces more and more insulin. Insulin and blood sugar levels rise, affecting kidney function and raising the level of blood fats, such as triglycerides.
Other risk factors include:
  • Aging
  • Genes that make you more likely to develop this condition (genetic predisposition)
  • Hormonal changes
  • Lack of exercise
