In the present day world, morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases has taken a backseat which can be attributed to the better understanding of the disease process and the resultant more effective treatment. Instead, non-communicable diseases like Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has become a public health concern round the globe. It has posed a great challenge to global health planners due to its implications in multiple lifestyle disease. And in a world of affluence with sedentary lifestyle, increasing obesity and a taste for not so healthy food items the challenge posed by MeTS is only going to be greater. Metabolic syndrome is a complex of interrelated risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and diabetes. These factors include dysglycemia, raised blood pressure, elevated triglyceride levels, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and obesity (particularly central adiposity). |
