Overview
Primary Prevention
Metabolic syndrome is formed by a constellation of risk factors like obesity and insulin resistance that increases the risk of a patient for complications like stroke, diabetes and coronary heart diseases. Various strategies have been proposed to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome (primary prevantion). These include:
- Diet and Nutrition: Low sodium High potassium Increased dietary intake of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products DASH-style diet
- Increased physical activity (such as walking 30 minutes every day),[1] and a healthy, reduced calorie diet.[2]
- Weight reduction
Supportive trial data
- There are many studies that support the value of a healthy lifestyle as above. However, one study stated that these measures are effective in only a minority of people. The International Obesity Taskforce states that interventions on a sociopolitical level are required to reduce development of the metabolic syndrome in populations.[3]
- A 2007 study of 2,375 male subjects over 20 years suggested that daily intake of a pint of milk or equivalent dairy products more than halved the risk of metabolic syndrome.[4] Other studies both support and dispute the authors' findings.[5]
