Abstract

The metabolic syndrome is one of the major public health issues of this century. It is a constellation of physical conditions and metabolic abnormalities, commonly occurring together, that increases an individual's risk for development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. If the current trend continues, the premature deaths and disabilities resulting from these conditions will increase the financial burden in developing countries, metabolic syndrome can lead to a buildup of plaque in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis. This is when fats, cholesterol, and other substances stick to the sides of the arteries. The arteries then become clogged and brittle. Blood clots form when the artery walls are damaged. A clot can cause a heart attack or stroke. These risk factors double your risk of the blood vessel and heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. They increase your risk of diabetes by five times
