Abstract:
Metabolic syndrome(MS),as a clinical issue,has been proposed for over half a century. However,no consensus on its definition,pathogenesis and treatment has been reached so far.What is the entity of MS?Whether it is one kind of disease or constellation of several risk factors has been argued.Recent studies have shown that abdominal obesity is the most important feature of MS,which is linked with adipose tissue dysfunction and insulin resistance.Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the main clinical outcome of MS.Thus, intervention of abdominal obesity is a key target for controlling MS and its complications.Although MS is composed of multiple subtypes,it is helpful for us to understand its entity and guide the clinical practice if we regard MS as an obesity-related cardiometabolic syndrome.
