Overview
Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause, but all of the risks for the syndrome are related to obesity.
Risk Factors
- Extra weight around the middle and upper parts of the body (central obesity). The body may be described as "apple-shaped". Increased body weight is considered a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome. In the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) it was found that metabolic syndrome was present in 5% of those with normal weight, 22% in those who are over weight and 60% in those with obesity.[1] In the Framingham Heart Study cohort it was found that an increase in weight over multiple years is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome. [2][3]
- Insulin resistance, in which the body cannot use insulin effectively.
- Aging
- Genetic factors and positive family history[4][5]
- Hormonal changes
- Lack of physical exercise [6]
- Postmenopausal status
- Smoking
- Low economic status
- High carbohydrate diet
- No alcohol
- Atypical antipsychotics like clozapine[7]
- Soft drink consumption [8]
People who have metabolic syndrome often have two other problems that can either cause the condition or make it worse:
- Excess blood clotting
- Low levels of inflammation throughout the body
