Study Reveals Increase in Metabolic Syndrome
According to recent findings by TNS Healthcare and Physicians from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome has increased dramatically in both the United States and Europe. Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of conditions that often occur together, including obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high triglycerides, which can lead to cardiovascular disease. According to one of the study's authors, Dr. Christopher P. Cannon, "this study, for the first time, details the severity of this syndrome, how it has changed over the past 6 years and the urgency for using new and existing medical treatments and/or improved strategies for lifestyle modification to reverse this trend."
