From an epidemiological point of view, the metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors causally, rather than coincidentally, related to insulin resistance. The metabolic syndrome is a condition with relatively high prevalence rates in both the Czech Republic and in other developed countries. There is a clear trend of increasing prevalence in both sexes depending on age. In the Czech Republic, the syndrome is less common in females (25.5%) than in males (37.6%). Epidemiological studies found white (Europoid race) males to be at higher risk due to abdominal obesity. The definition of the metabolic syndrome has evolved over time and helps to identify individuals at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, hence the use of the term cardiometabolic syndrome. Early detection of metabolic syndrome symptoms including insulin resistance should be performed mainly by general practitioners as part of regular check-ups.
从流行病学角度来看，代谢综合征是一组与胰岛素抵抗存在因果关系而非偶然关联的危险因素。代谢综合征在捷克共和国和其他发达国家的患病率都相对较高。无论男女，患病率都有随年龄增长而明显上升的趋势。在捷克共和国，该综合征在女性（25.5%）中比男性（37.6%）中更为少见。流行病学研究发现，白人（欧罗巴人种）男性因腹部肥胖而面临更高风险。代谢综合征的定义随时间不断演变，有助于识别有患心血管疾病和2型糖尿病高风险的个体，因此有了心脏代谢综合征这一术语。代谢综合征症状（包括胰岛素抵抗）的早期检测主要应由全科医生在定期体检时进行。
