Metabolic syndrome is a complex constellation of risk factors which predispose to diabetes and coronary heart disease. Various components of the metabolic syndrome are: abdominal obesity, impaired glucose regulation, dyslipidemias and hypertension. Insulin resistance and obesity are characteristics of metabolic syndrome. The risk factors predispose to the development of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Changes in the life style, reduction of obesity and food habits are fundamental in reducing the risk factors. Some patients may, however, require pharmacological intervention for the control of hyperglycemia, obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemias.
