AB The  metabolic  syndrome  (insulin  resistance  syndrome,  syndrome  X)  is  an  important  risk  factor  for  cardiovascular  disease  and  type  2  diabetes;  it  consists  of  a  constellation  of  metabolic  abnormalities  that  includes  central  obesity,  insulin  resistance,  hypertension,  dyslipidemia,  high  triglycerides,  and  low  HDL.  The  prevalence  of  metabolic  syndrome  varies  among  ethnic  groups;  it  increases  with  age,  degree  of  obesity,  and  propensity  to  type  2  diabetes.
