Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Its risk factors include obesity, specifically abdominal fat, elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Individuals with metabolic syndrome often face challenges related to its components, contributing to overall health deterioration. Managing these risk factors through lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can significantly lower the risk of developing serious health issues and enhance quality of life.
