Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels, that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Obesity is a major risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome, as excess fat, especially abdominal fat, contributes to insulin resistance and inflammation. Preventing metabolic syndrome in obesity involves managing weight through a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and stress reduction. Early intervention and lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and its associated complications, highlighting the importance of obesity management in overall health.
