Metabolic Syndrome

Integrated care for obesity-related metabolic risk factors affecting heart and overall health.

What is Metabolic Syndrome?

Have you been diagnosed with several risk factors like high blood pressure, abnormal sugar, or high triglycerides? Metabolic Syndrome is a bariatric condition that should be evaluated by a bariatric provider.

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that happen together, such as abdominal obesity, abnormal blood sugar, high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Together, these increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Common Symptoms

• Increased waist size
• High blood pressure
• Abnormal blood sugar
• High triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol
• Often identified during routine medical evaluation

When to see a Bariatric provider

You should see a specialist if you have multiple metabolic risk factors, rising blood sugar, central obesity, or concern about diabetes and cardiovascular risk.

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications.

Causes and Risk Factors

Metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, inactivity, genetics, poor sleep, and diet-related factors.

Diagnosis and Tests

Diagnosis is based on a combination of measurements and lab findings, including waist size, blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels.

Treatment Options

Treatment focuses on weight loss, nutrition improvement, physical activity, treatment of blood pressure or cholesterol abnormalities, and bariatric options when appropriate.
