Abstract

Metabolic syndome, a combination of various cardiovascular risk factors, is one of the fast increasing non communicable diseases. It has been considered to be mainly a disorder affecting cardiovascular system. Unfortunately, the subtle, but important clinical features of this syndrome due to involvement of other systems go unrecognized, leading to lot a morbidity for the patient. Hence, we conducted conducted review to highlight the evidence about various complications due to this syndome. We searched more than thousand relevant articles from Cochrane, pubmed, embase, medline databases. We have found that metabolic syndrome can affect virtually every organ systems in the body. But the silver lining is, all of them can be prevented by appropriate patient education, life style changes and other non pharmacologic intevention itself.
