Secondary Prevention
Effective measures for the secondary prevention of metabolic syndrome include
- Monitoring lipid levels every 6 weeks until target levels are achieved and, once stable, every 6 months.
- Serum aminotransferase and CK levels should be measured before initiating statins, fibrates, ezetimibe, or niacin. They should be rechecked each time the medication dose is adjusted and monitored every 6 months once the dose is stable.
- BP, blood glucose, and HbA1c should be checked every 3 months.
- Waist circumference and BMI should be measured every month.
