About Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

Key Differences:

WHO (World Health Organization): More flexible criteria, allows diagnosis with 3+ risk factors even without central obesity
IDF (International Diabetes Federation): Stricter criteria, requires central obesity as mandatory component
