METABOLIC SYNDROME
DEFINITION • Multiplex risk factor that arises from insulin resistance accompanying abnormal adipose deposition and function.
• combination of three or more of the following components must be present: large waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, low HDLcholesterol, raised blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood glucose. • It is comprised of a combination of risk factors for coronary heart disease, as well as for diabetes, fatty liver, and several cancers.
PREVALENSI • The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that ≈ 25% of the world's population has Metabolic Syndrome • 5 to 7% in young adults. • Low HDL is the most prevalent component of Metabolic Syndrome in young adults (Nolan et al., 2017)
Population-attributable risk of acute MI in the overall population • ”Disease” related risk factors • Diabetes • Hypertension • Abdominal obesity • ApoB/ApoA1
• Behaviour related risk factors • Alcohol intake • Exercise • Psychosocial stress • Current smoking

Why is abdominal obesity harmful? • Abdominal obesity ▫ is often associated with other CV risk factors ▫ is an independent CV risk factor
• Adipocytes are metabolically active endocrine organs, not simply inert fat storage

Health threat from abdominal obesity is largely due to intra-abdominal adiposity Increased Cardiometabolic Risk

Management of the metabolic syndrome •
Appropriate and aggressive therapy is essential for reducing patient risk of cardiovascular disease
•
Lifestyle measures should be the first action

Pharmacotherapy should have beneficial effects on

Ideally, treatment should address all of the components of the syndrome and not the individual components International Diabetes Federation, 1st International Congress on “Prediabetes” and Metabolic Syndrome (2005)
Summary
Despite therapeutic advances, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide
Current treatments generally target individual risk factors and do not propose a comprehensive approach to the management of cardiometabolic disease
An increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disease can be attributed to abdominal obesity (as measured by waist circumference)
A major cause of cardiometabolic disorders (including dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation and thrombosis) is thought to be intraabdominal adiposity (IAA)
Waist circumference provides a simple and practical diagnosis of IAA in patients at elevated CV risk
