Metabolic Syndrome & Obesity

Metabolic Syndrome - Abdominal Fat
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that as many as 47 million Americans may exhibit a cluster of medical conditions (a "metabolic syndrome") characterized by insulin resistance and the presence of obesity, abdominal fat, high blood sugar and triglycerides, high blood cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Metabolic Syndrome - Overweight & Obesity
The syndrome was first defined in 2001. Because the root causes of the metabolic syndrome, or syndrome X as it is also know, for a majority of individuals may be poor diet, overweight, obesity and insufficient physical activity, the high prevalence of the syndrome underscores an urgent need to develop comprehensive efforts directed at controlling the U.S. obesity epidemic and improving physical activity levels within the U.S. population.
