Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) Effecting 47 Million U.S. Adults

Metabolic Syndrome or commonly referred to as, Syndrome X, is caused by obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic predisposition. It is estimated that about 47 million U.S. adults have Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X). Doctors diagnose Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) by using Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). If a person has at lease three of the following components then they may be diagnosed as having Metabolic Syndrome:

• Central obesity (waist circumference: Men >40 inches and Women >35 inches)
• Fasting Blood Triglycerides > 150 mg/dl
• Blood HDL Cholesterol (Men < 40 mg/dL and Women <50 mg/dL)
• Blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/85 mmHg
• Fasting glucose > 110 mg/dL

What Exactly is Syndrome X?
Syndrome X or Metabolic Syndrome is also known as Insulin Resistance Syndrome. People with Syndrome X have high levels of glucose in their blood due to the cells resistance of the action of insulin. In other words, the insulin is not able to transport glucose into the cells where it is used to produce energy, leaving the high levels of glucose in the blood.

How is Syndrome X Treated?
"Many experts recommend that people work towards being moderately physically active for at least 30 minutes per day, most days of the week." (Medical News Today) Weight loss and increased physical activity are the key ways to improve conditions under the blanket known as Syndrome X. Also, it is important to see a doctor routinely to monitor body weight, blood glucose, lipoproteine, and blood pressure, as well as, prescribe treatments to best manage Syndrome X risk factors: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and high blood glucose. Often weight loss medications, diets, and exercise programs will be prescribed.

Reducing body weight 10% can minimize symptoms of Syndrome X/Metabolic Syndrome.
