Editorial Note on Metabolic Syndrome.
One of the most common causes of atherosclerotic vascular
disease and type 2 diabetes is metabolic syndrome (MS) (Type
2 DM). Metabolic syndrome is characterised by abdominal
obesity, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and lipid
disorders. The metabolic syndrome's prevalence rises with age
and body weight, as well as through populations studied at the
same time. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is 27 percent
in the United States, and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome
is growing faster in women. In Turkey, metabolic syndrome
affects 38% of the population. Author(s): Fleur Delacour
