Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It is defined by having three or more of the following five factors: Abdominal obesity: Waist circumference of 35 inches or more in women and 40 inches or more in men. High blood pressure: Systolic (top) blood pressure of 130 mmHg or higher, or diastolic (bottom) blood pressure of 80 mmHg or higher . High fasting blood sugar: Fasting blood sugar level of 100 mg/dL or higher High triglycerides: Triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or higher. Low HDL (good) cholesterol: HDL cholesterol level of less than 40 mg/dL in men and less than 50 mg/dL in women. Metabolic syndrome is thought to be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle (such as diet and exercise), and underlying medical conditions (such as sleep apnea). It can lead to insulin resistance, which can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and inflammation, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
