Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a prevalent and complex health condition characterized by a cluster of interrelated metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. This review provides an in-depth exploration of the risks, symptoms, and treatment strategies associated with metabolic syndrome. The risks associated with metabolic syndrome are multifaceted, involving genetic predispositions, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and obesity. These factors contribute synergistically to the development and progression of metabolic disturbances, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes mellitus.
