Metabolic syndrome is a combination of 4 conditions which can also be seen as prediabetes.
The co-existing conditions are high blood pressure, high levels of LDL cholesterol & triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and excess fat around the waist.
In the US about 34% of the population have this condition which is also known as CHAOS (in Australia), Reaven's Syndrome, and Metabolic Syndrome X.
This condition may be a result of stress, age, sedentary behaviour, diet, as well as excessive alcohol use.
The first line of treatment is a change of lifestyle.
