Dyslipidemia And The Metabolic Syndrome

The metabolic syndrome poses a serious risk to health Compared
with persons who do not have the metabolic syndrome, those who
are affected have a twofold risk of developing cardiovascular
disease (CVD) and at least a fourfold risk for type 2 diabetes1
Because it affects more than 1 in 5 US adults,2,3 and because
its prevalence is expected to increase as overweight and obesity

the incidence of CVD and diabetes by recognizing the features of
the metabolic syndrome and by implementing clinical
interventions aimed at managing the associated risk factorsFor
