A Comprehensive Study of Metabolic Syndrome (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887402628)

Metabolic syndrome is referred to as the presence of at least three of the five medical conditions, including high blood sugar, abdominal obesity, low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), high blood pressure and high serum triglycerides. Ethnicity, a high-fat diet, aging, a history of frequent drinking and stress are some of the risk factors strongly linked to metabolic syndrome. The risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is correlated with metabolic syndrome. Its diagnosis involves measuring blood pressure, fat levels, waist circumference and fasting blood sugar. There are several ways of preventing and managing metabolic syndrome such as quitting smoking and other tobacco products, eating a balanced diet, being physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight. This book presents the complex condition of metabolic syndrome in the most comprehensible and easy-to-understand language. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to metabolic syndrome have been included in this book. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of this medical condition.
