It is characterized by the presence of at least three of the following five factors: Abdominal Obesity: Excess fat around the waist, often measured by waist circumference. High Blood Pressure: Elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressure levels. High Blood Sugar: Impaired fasting glucose or insulin resistance. High Triglycerides: Elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood. Low HDL Cholesterol: Reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol." The syndrome is closely linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and obesity, as well as genetic predispositions. Addressing these risk factors through lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and increased physical activity, is key to managing and preventing metabolic syndrome. ** Adolfo's Reading List: 1.
