Definition

  • A large body of literature demonstrates an association between obesity (specifically central obesity), insulin resistance, and risk factors for chronic diseases such as impaired glucose tolerance, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension, and certain cancers, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers. These associated conditions have been clustered together and described in the literature under the names of metabolic syndrome, insulin-resistance syndrome, syndrome X, plurimetabolic syndrome, and cardiometabolic syndrome.
