Metabolic Syndrome: Overview
 Metabolic Syndrome is not a disease, but rather a cluster of disorders of your body’s
metabolism, including:
o High blood pressure
o High insulin levels
o Excess body weight
o Abnormal cholesterol levels
 Each of these disorders is by itself a risk factor for other diseases.
 In combination, however, these disorders dramatically boost the chances
of developing potentially life-threatening illnesses, such as diabetes,
heart disease or stroke.
PBRC 2005
What are unresolved questions about the
MetS? (Kahn et al. 2005)
 Metabolic syndrome name?
 Existence of metabolic syndrome?
 More than some of its parts?
 MetS vs. prediabetes & type 2 diabetes
 Diagnostic utility?
 Pathogenesis?
 Clinical utility?
PBRC 2005
Is the metabolic syndrome
a “syndrome”?
 A collection of things
 Clustering of signs and symptoms
 Three or more related entities

 Plurametabolic syndrome (Crepaldi)
 Syndrome X (Reaven)
 Deadly Quartet (Kaplan)
 Metabolic syndrome (WHO; NCEP: IDF)

 Fasting blood glucose
o Level of 110 mg/dl or higher
 High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)
o Lower than 50 mg/dl in women and 40 mg/dl for men
According to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), the presence
of three or more of the following traits indicates metabolic syndrome:

Six Aims for Improvement
 Safe – avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help
them.
 Effective – providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who
could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to
benefit (avoiding underuse and overuse)
 Patient-centered – providing care that is respectful of and responsive
to individual patient preferences, needs and values and ensuring that
patients values guide all clinical decisions.
 Timely – reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those
who receive and those who give care.
 Efficient – avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies,
ideas and energy.
 Equitable – providing care that does not vary in quality because of
personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location,
and socio-economic status.

Prevention of type 2 diabetes
Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always
have "pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher
than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as
diabetes
Take our diabetes risk test to see if you are at risk for
developing diabetes. Diabetes is more common in African
Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders.
is a powerful new risk assessment tool. It can be used to
explore the effects of a wide variety of health care
interventions, including losing weight, stopping smoking, and
taking certain medications.
Diabetes Prevention Program study conclusively showed that
people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type
2 diabetes by making changes in their diet and increasing their
level of physical activity.
Keeping an eye on these risk factors -- keeping them "in check"
-- can help you prevent diabetes and heart disease.

If a 1% reduction in HbA1c is
achieved, you could expect a
reduction in risk of:
• 21% for any diabetes-related
endpoint
• 37% for microvascular
complications
• 14% for myocardial infarction
However, compliance is poor and most
patients will require oral pharmacotherapy

    PBRC 2005 Prevention oftype 2 diabetes Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes Take our diabetes risk test to see if you are at risk for developing diabetes. Diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. is a powerful new risk assessment tool. It can be used to explore the effects of a wide variety of health care interventions, including losing weight, stopping smoking, and taking certain medications. Diabetes Prevention Program study conclusively showed that people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes by making changes in their diet and increasing their level of physical activity. Keeping an eye on these risk factors -- keeping them "in check" -- can help you prevent diabetes and heart disease.

Editor's Notes

  • #10 Atherosclerosis: An Inflammatory Disease* Atherosclerosis, once regarded largely as a disorder of lipid accumulation, is now generally viewed as an inflammatory disease. The process begins with endothelial dysfunction caused, for example, by modified LDL, an infectious microorganism, or free radicals associated with cigarette smoking. Modified LDL is a major cause of endothelial injury in patients with type 2 diabetes and results from such factors as oxidation and glycation. Post-insult endothelial changes include increased leukocyte adhesion and migration into the arterial wall, increased permeability to lipoproteins and other plasma constituents, a switch from anticoagulant to procoagulant activity, and formation of cytokines, growth factors, and vasoactive molecules. As the inflammation continues, circulating monocytes and lymphocytes migrate into the subendothelial space, and macrophages ingest oxidized LDL and are transformed into foam cells. The resulting fatty streak is augmented by migrating/proliferating smooth muscle cells and adherent / aggregating platelets to form an intermediate atherosclerotic lesion. Activation of T lymphocytes and macrophages also leads to the release of hydrolytic enzymes, cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, which induce further damage. Eventually, a fibrous cap, which represents a healing response, will form over the mixture of leukocytes, lipid, and debris to wall off the lesion from the lumen. The core of such an advanced lesion may become necrotic. Subsequent thinning and rupture of the fibrous cap appears to be caused by the continued influx and activation of macrophages. Their release of metalloproteinases and other proteolytic enzymes causes degradation of the matrix, followed by possible hemorrhage, thrombus formation, and arterial occlusion.   Ross R. N Engl J Med. 1999;340:115-126. *An animated version of this slide is located in the folder “Animated Slides.”
  • #13 In addition to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance is associated with the development of a broad spectrum of clinical conditions. These include hypertension, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, decreased fibrinolytic activity, impaired glucose tolerance, acanthosis nigricans, hyperuricemia, polycystic ovary disease, and obesity. Adapted from Consensus Development Conference of the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 1998;21:310-314.
  • #16 Malik and colleagues demonstrated that the cardiometabolic risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome increase the CVD mortality rate. Relative to an individual with no metabolic syndrome risk factors, having 1 to 2 risk factors increased a patient’s hazard ratio by more than 70%. Persons with metabolic syndrome (having ≥3 of the 5 risk factors) were found to have a hazard ratio of 2.71. The ratio increased with the onset of type 2 diabetes, CVD, and was greatest in persons with existing CVD and T2DM. Malik S, Wong ND, Franklin SS, et al.

  • #35 This analysis from the Heart Outcomes Protection Evaluation (HOPE) study evaluated the effects of abdominal obesity (tertiles of waist circumference) on the risk of all-cause or cardiovascular death, or MI in 6,620 men and 2,182 women followed for an average of 4.5 years. Results were adjusted for BMI, age, smoking, sex, previous MI, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, microalbuminuria, use of antiplatelet agents, diuretics, lipid-lowering agents, and anti-hypertensives, history of hypertension, diabetes, or total cholesterol &amp;gt;5.2 mmol/L, or HDL-cholesterol &amp;lt;0.9 mmol/L. The risk of cardiovascular death, MI, or death from any cause increased in line with increasing tertiles of waist circumference. These data from this major intervention study add to the growing database of evidence linking high waist circumference with a clinically significant increase in the risk of an adverse cardiovascular outcome.
  • #36 These data are from the Nurses’ Health Study (Carey VJ et al, 1997), an observational study that followed a cohort of 43,581 women between 1986 and 1994 in the USA. The analysis presented here was designed to define the association between waist circumference and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased linearly with an increasing waist circumference. The relative risk for women at the 90th percentile of waist circumference (equivalent to a waist measurement of 92 cm [36 in]) was 5.1 (95% CI 2.98.9) compared with women at the 10th percentile (waist measurement of 67 cm [26.2 in]). High waist circumference is a powerful predictor of an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (Wang Y et al, 2005).
  • #37 The prospective Nurses Health Study set out to assess the impact of factors such as waist circumference in determining risk of CHD in a cohort of 44,702 US female registered nurses, aged 40 to 65 years, recruited between 1986 and 1994. Study subjects were free of prior CHD at baseline. During 8 years of follow-up, there was a direct, independent and continuous relationship between waist circumference and age-adjusted risk of CHD.
  • #42 We have understood for decades the roles of ‘classical’ risk factors – elevated LDL-cholesterol, hypertension, elevated blood glucose and smoking – in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. More recent research is continuing to define the contribution of emerging risk factors to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, particularly in the setting of insulin resistance. Abdominal obesity is associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors such as atherogenic elevated blood glucose (hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL-cholesterol), elevated blood glucose and inflammation, which are major drivers of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In addition, atherosclerosis is increasingly regarded as an inflammatory condition.

It is still important to recognize that clustering of CVD risk factor does occur and to be astute in looking for and addressing all the factors. As more research is done the underlying common biochemical denominators are being identified and medications are being developed that address the root causes of the various components of the syndrome.
