Overview
Metabolic disorders describe a cluster of conditions - insulin resistance, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, and central weight gain - that together raise the risk of diabetes and heart disease. This combination is often referred to as metabolic syndrome.
Often Silent, But Watch For
- Frequently no obvious symptoms in the early stages
- Fatigue
- Increased waist size
- Symptoms of related conditions, such as high blood pressure
Causes & Risk Factors
Metabolic disorders are influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet and inactivity, genetics, insulin resistance, and excess body weight.
Diagnosis
Evaluation includes blood pressure measurement, fasting glucose and HbA1c testing, a lipid profile, and waist circumference measurement.
