This document discusses the relationship between obesity, cholesterol, triglycerides, and metabolic syndrome. It notes that adipose tissue plays a key role in inflammation and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors. Accumulation of macrophages in adipose tissue promotes inflammation linked to conditions like insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis. While removing abdominal fat does not improve risks, reducing visceral fat does help glucose and insulin sensitivity. The document also outlines assessments, lifestyle interventions, nutraceuticals, exercise, and pharmaceutical treatments for metabolic syndrome.
