Metabolic Syndrome – Are You At Risk?
by Pam MarshallWhile not all doctors agree on the definition or cause of metabolic syndrome, they do agree on one thing – it’s a condition that puts you at risk for heart disease and diabetes.
Your risk is greatest if you have the following underlying causes:
* Abdominal obesity
* Sedentary lifestyle
* High glucose levels
In addition, some medications may put you at risk because they cause weight gain or unhealthy changes in blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. Medicines commonly used to treat inflammation, allergies, HIV, and depression or other mental illnesses fall within this category.
Populations affected
Metabolic syndrome is more common in African American women than in African American men and in Mexican American women more than Mexican American men. It affects white women and men equally.
In the United States, some racial groups are most at risk for metabolic syndrome. Mexican Americans have the greatest incidence of this condition at 31.9% of the population. Caucasians (23.8%) and African Americans (21.6%) have the lowest rates.
You may also be at risk if you have a parent of sibling with diabetes, you have been diagnosed with diabetes, or you’re a woman with a history of ovarian cysts.
Members of certain ethnic groups, such as South Asians, have an increased risk as well.
What are the signs and symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome itself usually has no symptoms. Most of the risk factors linked to metabolic syndrome have no signs or symptoms, although a large waistline is a visible sign.
Some people may have symptoms of high blood sugar (if diabetes is present) or, occasionally, high blood pressure. Symptoms of high blood sugar often include increased thirst; increased urination, especially at night; fatigue (tiredness); and blurred vision.
Before the onset of type 2 diabetes, a condition known as prediabetes almost always exist. That means blood glucose levels are higher than the normal range but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. However, long-term damage to the heart may begin in the prediabetic stage.
Since prediabetes contributes to a host of health risks including metabolic syndrome, getting a handle on this condition is imperative for long-term health. The good news is there is a safe, inexpensive, 100% natural solution.
