Food Medicine Dual Herb for Metabolic Syndrome

The Metabolic Syndrome Body Size  BMI  Central Adiposity Insulin Resistance Glucose Intolerance Hyperinsulinemia  TG  HDL-C Hypertension The metabolic syndrome: historical perspective The clustering of cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia have been noted since 1970. However, Professor Reaven at Stanford in his Banting lecture in 1988 made the important observation that this cluster of risk factors may be linked to insulin resistance. Professor Reaven called this entity “Syndrome X” but it is more commonly called the metabolic syndrome, or the insulin resistance syndrome. Note that Professor Reaven listed glucose intolerance rather than diabetes since subjects who developed type 2 diabetes need a second deficit which is impaired insulin secretion. As a result many or most individuals with insulin resistance will not actually have type 2 diabetes. In his 1988 Banting lecture, Professor Reaven attempted to show that people can have the insulin resistance syndrome even without obesity. However, other investigators such as Despres have noted that insulin resistance occurs most often in combination with increases in visceral fat. Not all of the components described in the 1988 Banting lecture are equally strongly related to insulin resistance. A number of techniques including factor analysis have been used to suggest that hypertension has no or only a very weak relationship to insulin resistance. References: Reaven GM.

Prevalence of the NCEP Metabolic Syndrome by Age Men Women 44% 44% 24% 23% Prevalence, % 8% Prevalence of the NCEP metabolic syndrome: NHANES III by age This slide shows the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome as defined by NCEP in NHANES III participants by age. It is usually said that the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the United States is 23 - 24%. However, this is not a useful statement since the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome markedly increases with age. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is <10% in individuals aged 20–29 years, 20% in individuals aged 40–49 years, and 45% in individuals aged 60–69 years. Thus it might be more useful to suggest that the estimated prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is an individual's age minus 20. References: Ford ES, Giles WH, Dietz WH.
