Lipid and Metabolic Syndromes

Metabolic syndrome is the major cause that contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is a cluster of metabolic disorders, such as dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension and impaired fasting glucose which will increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. The dietary lipids are also recognized to contribute in the development and the prevention of cardiovascular risk clustering. This review explores the relevant mechanisms involved in the influence of dietary fatty acids on metabolic syndrome components.

The development of metabolic syndrome mainly due to Genetics and the environmental factors. Approximately 20%-30% of the population in industrialized countries has metabolic syndrome and the people with Metabolic syndrome will have three times higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Additionally, statin drugs play a key role in the treatment of people with coronary heart disease, mostly because they lower LDL cholesterol.

The treatment choices include changing lifestyle and weight reduction which usually requires a specifically tailored, multifaceted program that includes diet and exercise. Medications also may be useful.
