Metabolic syndrome
- Fyziologický ústav LF MU, Brno
Metabolic syndrome refers to the condition of central overweight and dyslipidaemia (characterized by increased triacylglycerol concentrations
and reduced HDL cholesterol concentrations). Concurrently, an increased concentration of fasting glucose occurs.
This syndrome is associated with an increased occurrence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus as well as with a generally increased
risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition to pharmacological treatment, the treatment for metabolic syndrome involves lifestyle modifications, an increase in physical
exercise and a more optimal food intake in terms of both quantity and quality.
