Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of multiple cardio-metabolic risk factors in the same individual. People with MS are at high risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cerebrovascular disease (CeVD). The excessive presence of MS in South Asians is likely responsible for significant morbidity in this population. This review discusses the scope of MS in South Asians and measures to combat its effects by preventive and therapeutic measures.
