Metabolic syndrome is a recognized cluster of cardiometabolic abnormalities that occur together more often than by chance and that together signal heightened long-term risk of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Its defining components are central obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, raised blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose, with a diagnosis conventionally made when several of these are present concurrently. Underlying the syndrome are insulin resistance and dysfunctional adipose tissue, which together promote atherogenic dyslipidemia, chronic low-grade inflammation, and vascular impairment. Because its components are largely modifiable, the syndrome is both a clinical warning sign and a target for prevention through dietary change, weight reduction, physical activity, and, where needed, pharmacological treatment of individual risk factors. Themes in the associated literature include the prevalence and determinants of metabolic syndrome in occupational and psychiatric populations, dietary interventions such as kale powder supplementation, the metabolic effects of antipsychotic and antidepressant medication, the role of antioxidant micronutrients in management, the molecular and metabolic pathogenesis of familial combined hyperlipidemia, anthropometric prediction of metabolic risk in adolescents, adipose-tissue physiology in obesity, and the effects of dietary supplementation on postprandial lipemia and glycemia. This journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to metabolic syndrome, its constituent risk factors, and strategies for its prevention and management.
