Know the early warning signs of metabolic syndrome—a growing problem

Patients who have metabolic syndrome are at higher risk of multiple chronic conditions, including diabetes, coronary heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common: its prevalence has risen in every sociodemographic group, and today it is estimated that more than a third of adults in the United States have metabolic risk.1

Some factors contributing to metabolic syndrome are genetic, while others can be modified with lifestyle changes. Quest Diagnostics offers a full range of testing options to help evaluate patients’ metabolic and cardiovascular risk, so physicians can take action to help prevent or delay onset of chronic conditions, and prevent adverse events such as stroke.
