• #1 Metabolic syndrome – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_syndrome

  Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of at least three of the following five medical conditions: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL). […] Various strategies have been proposed to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome. These include increased physical activity (such as walking 30 minutes every day), and a healthy, reduced calorie diet. […] The International Obesity Taskforce states that interventions on a sociopolitical level are required to reduce development of the metabolic syndrome in populations. […] The Caerphilly Heart Disease Study followed 2,375 male subjects over 20 years and suggested the daily intake of an Imperial pint (~568 mL) of milk or equivalent dairy products more than halved the risk of metabolic syndrome. […] A systematic review of four randomized controlled trials said that, in the short term, a Paleolithic nutritional pattern improved three of five measurable components of the metabolic syndrome in participants with at least one of the components.

• #2 Lifestyle recommendations for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome: an international panel recommendation

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5914407/

  The importance of metabolic syndrome (MetS) lies in its associated risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as other harmful conditions such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In this report, the available scientific evidence on the associations between lifestyle changes and MetS and its components is reviewed to derive recommendations for MetS prevention and management. Weight loss through an energy-restricted diet together with increased energy expenditure through physical activity contribute to the prevention and treatment of MetS. A Mediterranean-type diet, with or without energy restriction, is an effective treatment component. This dietary pattern should be built upon an increased intake of unsaturated fat, primarily from olive oil, and emphasize the consumption of legumes, cereals (whole grains), fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and low-fat dairy products, as well as moderate consumption of alcohol. Other dietary patterns (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, new Nordic, and vegetarian diets) have also been proposed as alternatives for preventing MetS. Quitting smoking and reducing intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and meat and meat products are mandatory.

  Metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is a cluster of comorbid conditions including obesity, hypertension, and disordered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, constitutes a significant health and social problem in Poland. […] Optimum management to reduce the CV risk should not focus narrowly on altering individual risk factors but instead take a broader look and address the comorbid risk factors simultaneously, as there is often a cause-and-effect relationship between them, to achieve a significant CV risk reduction. […] From that perspective, the concept of the metabolic syndrome seems accurate, as it enables a holistic approach to a person with obesity indicating the need to identify and modify the concomitant CV risk factors and to introduce measures for their early prevention. […] Any patient diagnosed with metabolic syndrome should at least be seen as a high cardiovascular risk patient. A comprehensive assessment of the main and additional conditions of the metabolic syndrome is advised, as well as implementing lifestyle modifications alongside appropriate medical treatment. Early intervention can prevent the development or slow the progression of individual components of the metabolic syndrome.

  Metabolic syndrome is a serious health condition that puts people at higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and diseases related to fatty buildups in artery walls (atherosclerosis). […] Although metabolic syndrome is a serious condition, you can reduce your risks significantly by losing weight; increasing your physical activity; eating a heart-healthy diet that’s rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and fish; and working with your health care team to monitor and manage your blood glucose, blood cholesterol and blood pressure.

• #7 The Influence of Metabolic Syndrome in Predicting Mortality Risk Among US Adults: Importance of Metabolic Syndrome Even in Adults With Normal Weight

  https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2020/20_0020.htm

  Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among normal-weight adults is low, it is associated with high risk of mortality. […] To prevent premature mortality, greater attention must be given to diagnosing and proactively treating metabolic syndrome in these normal-weight adults. […] MetS is a risk factor for mortality among normal-weight and obese adults. […] Normal-weight adults with MetS had the highest mortality among the 6 groups studied, suggesting that interventions should also focus on MetS patients with normal weight. […] Our study found that the normal-weightMetS group had the highest risk of mortality among MetS and obesity categories a risk that has not been previously identified in US adults. As such, greater attention must be given to normal-weight people who have MetS to provide early treatment and prevent future complications.

  Our observation that metabolic syndrome prevalence increases with age suggests that the efforts to increase awareness of prevention strategies must begin early, ideally when any 1 of the constituent components (eg, obesity) is present, before the development of all 3 components required for the formal definition of metabolic syndrome. […] Public health strategies that are well known to be important for chronic disease prevention in general can substantially reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. For instance, by improving access to fresh fruits and vegetables in low-income communities, which are often food deserts and heavily targeted by purveyors of fat-dense and calorie-dense but nutritionally poor foods; increasing availability of safe, walk-friendly environments to encourage physical activity; and improving access to affordable health care (such as through the Affordable Care Acts Medicaid expansion program) for timely management of metabolic syndrome components. […] Existing preventions strategies, if implemented in population subgroups at highest risk, may have a substantial effect on reducing these trends.

• #9 Metabolic Syndrome Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Pharmacologic Therapy, Diet

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/165124-treatment

  The initial management of metabolic syndrome involves lifestyle modifications, including changes in diet and exercise habits. […] Indeed, evidence exists to support the notion that the diet, exercise, and pharmacologic interventions may inhibit the progression of metabolic syndrome to diabetes mellitus. […] Lifestyle change and weight loss are considered the most important initial steps in treating metabolic syndrome. […] Studies comparing ethnically similar populations exposed to different dietary environments suggested that Westernized diets are strongly associated with a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome. […] On the other hand, diets rich in dairy, fish, and cereal grains may be associated with a lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome. […] Not surprisingly, Mediterranean-style diets appear to be associated with a much lower risk and possibly with resolution of metabolic syndrome in patients who have met diagnostic criteria, especially when coupled with adequate exercise regimens.

  Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a chronic disease caused by obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and dyslipidemia and may lead to cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the detection and prevention of MetS at an early stage are imperative. Individuals can detect MetS early and manage it effectively if they can easily monitor their health status in their daily lives. […] To improve this situation, noninvasive predictive studies have been conducted to easily detect and prevent MetS early. Noninvasive predictive models do not use invasive information obtained by penetrating the body or skin, such as blood tests, so continuous monitoring is possible at a simple, fast, and low cost. […] In this study, we developed a practical predictive model to help prevent MetS. First, we explored the most informative features to obtain a sufficient predictive performance. We developed novel synthetic features for candidate features and performed feature selection.

• #51 Machine learning-based predictive model for prevention of metabolic syndrome | PLOS One

  The proposed model can provide MetS diagnosis and risk prediction results. We also proposed a MetS risk map such that individuals could easily determine whether they had metabolic syndrome. […] The first advantage is that the features required for prediction are just four easily measurable features: waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and sex. Second, the predictive model provides the degree of risk along with the diagnosis of MetS, enabling individuals to cope effectively with preventive management. Third, prediction results can be easily understood by individuals, and prediction models can be provided as visual tools reconstructed in a simple map form. […] The DT finally achieved an AUC of 0.889, recall of 0.855, and specificity of 0.773. […] Our final model can effectively help the decision-making process in preventing and managing MetS by providing development risks as well as good discrimination and recall.
