Abstract :
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a risk
factor for several diseases and disorders
such as Type 2 diabetes (T2DM),
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), fatty
liver, cholesterol gallstones, polycystic
ovary syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and gout
[1]. MetS is becoming a worldwide epidemic as a result
of the increased prevalence of obesity and a sedentary
lifestyle. Also, the prevalence of MetS is relatively high
in the adult population. Four elements have been identified
for MetS: central obesity, dyslipidemia (increased
triglycerides and reduced High-Density Lipoprotein
[HDL] cholesterol), hypertension, and glucose intolerance.
However, the definitions used vary somewhat between
ethnic groups.
