Abstract in brief

  • Metabolic syndrome, also called syndrome X or insulin resistance, is a health condition characterized by obesity, insulin issues, high blood pressure, and abnormal fat levels, and it has become a major global health problem.
  • Its rise is linked to lifestyle changes like increased fast food consumption and reduced physical activity, especially in urban areas of developing countries, leading to diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart conditions.
  • Addressing this epidemic requires global efforts to promote healthier lifestyles through urban planning, diet changes, and policy measures like taxing unhealthy foods and public education, as finding a cure alone is unlikely.]

"We do not have similar global data on metabolic syndrome—which is harder to measure [than diabetes], but since MetS is about three times more common than diabetes, the global prevalence can be estimated to be about one quarter of the world population." https://t.co/vEO1jeKZes

The Global Epidemic of the Metabolic Syndrome :::> The total cost is in trillions, and is not sustainable unless a magic cure is found (unlikely) or concerted global/governmental/societal efforts are made to change the lifestyle that promotes it. https://t.co/zfXOB7tU40
