Metabolic syndrome is caused by a combination of factors. Some of the causes, such as overweight and obesity, an inactive lifestyle, and insulin resistance, are under your control. Other factors that may contribute to metabolic syndrome, such as getting older, are beyond your control. As you get older, your chances of developing metabolic syndrome rise. You also have no control over genetics (ethnicity and family history), which may play a role in the condition's development.
Genetics, for example, can increase your chances of developing insulin resistance, which can lead to metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is frequently associated with two other conditions: excessive blood clotting and chronic, low-grade inflammation throughout the body. Researchers are unsure whether these conditions cause or worsen metabolic syndrome.Metabolic syndrome is a collection of risk factors that increases your chances of developing heart disease and other health issues such as diabetes and stroke. Even if these risk factors are only moderately elevated, they can increase your risk of health problems.
The majority of metabolic risk factors have no visible signs or symptoms, though a large waistline is one. If diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, is present, some people may experience symptoms of high blood sugar. High blood sugar symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, particularly at night, fatigue (tiredness), and blurred vision. In most cases, there are no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure. However, some people with high blood pressure in the early stages may experience dull headaches, dizzy spells, or more nosebleeds.
The first line of treatment for metabolic syndrome is to adopt a hearthealthy lifestyle. If making heart-healthy lifestyle changes isn't enough, your doctor may recommend medications. Medicines are used to treat and control risk factors such as high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, and diabetes. The primary goal of metabolic syndrome treatment is to lower the risk of ischemic heart disease. The treatment focuses first on lowering LDL cholesterol, controlling high blood pressure, and managing diabetes (if these conditions are present).
The second goal of treatment is to prevent type 2 diabetes from developing if it hasn't already. Diabetes' long-term complications frequently include heart and kidney disease, vision loss, and foot or leg amputation. If you have diabetes, the goal of treatment is to lower your risk of heart disease by addressing all of your risk factors. Adopting heart-healthy lifestyle changes is the best way to prevent metabolic syndrome.
Make it a habit to see your doctor on a regular basis to monitor your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Speak with your doctor about a lipoprotein panel, which measures your total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Metabolic syndrome is a chronic condition that lasts a lifetime. Lifestyle changes, on the other hand, can help you control your risk factors and lower your risk of ischemic heart disease and diabetes.If you already have heart disease or diabetes, making lifestyle changes can help you avoid or postpone complications. Heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes-related complications are examples of these issues (for example, damage to your eyes, nerves, kidneys, feet, and legs) [1-5].
