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.
代谢综合征(MS)是指同一个体中多种心血管代谢危险因素的聚集。MS 患者发生心血管疾病(CVD)、慢性肾脏病(CKD)和脑血管疾病(CeVD)的风险较高。南亚人群中 MS 的过度存在可能是该人群发病率高的主要原因。本文讨论了南亚人群中 MS 的范围以及通过预防和治疗措施来对抗其影响的措施。
