The metabolic syndrome has received worldwide recognition and is useful clinical aid in early-preventing atherosclerosis. Visceral adiposity is the main component of the metabolic syndrome in Japan, based on ethnic and racial difference in the pattern of adiposity. In the Amagasaki Visceral Fat Study, subjects had undergone annual health check-ups and then received health education by medical personnel. Visceral fat reduction improved hypoadiponectinemia and the number of obesity-related cardiovascular risk factors, and effectively prevented cardiovascular events. The health education that includes voluntary lifestyle modification aimed at reducing visceral fat could be useful in preventing cardiovascular events in the metabolic syndrome.
代谢综合征已得到全球认可，并且在动脉粥样硬化的早期预防中具有重要的临床辅助作用。基于肥胖模式的种族和民族差异，日本的代谢综合征主要成分是内脏型肥胖。在姫路内脏型脂肪研究中，研究对象接受了年度健康检查，然后由医务人员对其进行健康教育。内脏脂肪减少可改善低 adiponectinemia 和与肥胖相关的心血管危险因素的数量，并有效预防心血管事件。健康教育包括旨在减少内脏脂肪的自愿生活方式改变，可能对预防代谢综合征中的心血管事件有用。
