Описание: The metabolic syndrome is mainly caused by western lifestyle resulting in abdominal obesity but also a genetic predisposition plays a role. Abdominal obesity leads to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, further resulting in glucose intolerance and dyslipidaemia (high plasma triglyceride and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol values) and arterial hypertension. These are all risk factors for the diseases mentioned above. Around 50 % of subjects suffering from the metabolic syndrome develop type 2 diabetes, including the problems and complications connected with this disease. Figure 1.1 describes our model for the pathophysiology of the metabolic syndrome and its consequences.
As clinicians, we need to be aware of the syndrome and be able to treat the inpidual components in order to avoid the complications.
