	Social gradient in the metabolic syndrome — explained by psychosocial and behavioural factors?
		This study explores the socio-economic gradient in the metabolic syndrome and whether this is explained by differences in psychosocial factors or lifestyle factors.
		Approximately 20% of study individuals had metabolic syndrome but among individuals with highest level of education (of five levels) only 10% had metabolic syndrome whereas among individuals with the lowest level of education 26% had metabolic syndrome.
		When combining the factors in the metabolic syndrome, individuals with the highest level of education had 68% lower risk of having the metabolic syndrome than individuals with the lowest educational level.

	What is Metabolic Syndrome X?
		Metabolic syndrome is also known as Insulin Resistance Syndrome, a metabolic disorder in which the body suffers from chronic insensitivity to the hormone insulin, which is released by the pancreas to permit the utilization of glucose by the cells.
		What Causes Metabolic Syndrome X? The main known causes of metabolic syndrome are a combination of (a) genetic factors; (b) obesity; and (c) lack of exercise.
		What are the Consequences of Metabolic Syndrome X? Patients with metabolic syndrome X have an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

	CBS News \| Understanding Syndrome X \| May 25, 2004 09:34:33
		Metabolic syndrome is not really a single illness but rather a cluster of problems - obesity (especially in the abdomen), high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high triglycerides, and low HDL levels.
		Syndrome X is a combination of conditions that all result from the primary disorder of insulin resistance.
		All the metabolic problems associated with Syndrome X such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides can lead to other diseases, but when several are combined, the chances of life-threatening illnesses are multiplied.

	Metabolic Syndrome X
		The incidence of the risk factors that cause diabetes, collectively known as the ‘metabolic syndrome’, often called metabolic syndrome X, or just Syndrome X, is soaring.
		The clinical conditions linked to the metabolic syndrome X are obesity, type 2 diabetes, abnormal blood fats and raised blood pressure.
		In most cases, development of the metabolic syndrome is caused by eating too much of the wrong kind of foods and taking too little exercise.

		Syndrome X is primarily a nutritional disease caused by eating the wrong types of foods.
		Syndrome X occurs when insulin resistance is combined with high levels of blood fats (cholesterol and triglyceride), too much body fat, and high blood pressure.
		Insulin resistance and Syndrome X are caused primarily by a diet high in refined carbohydrates, which probably include many of your favorite and frequently eaten foods, such as cereals, muffins, breads and rolls, pastas, cookies, donuts, and soft drinks.

	Diabetes - Metabolic Syndrome Does Not Predict Mortality In Type 2 Diabetes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the value of the metabolic syndrome as an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
		The risk of cardiovascular mortality was similar in patients with and without the metabolic syndrome, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, total cholesterol level, and coronary heart disease.
		The investigators concluded that, for patients with type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome was not a predictor of all-cause or cardiovascular mortality and did not provide further predictive value, compared with its individual components.

	Syndrome X
		Syndrome X is the name given to a set of symptoms which indicate that an individual may be suffering from what is called insulin resistance — a type of glucose poisoning caused by the average Western high sugar, high processed-carbohydrate diet.
		Most people are interested in Syndrome X because it explains why so many of us have excess weight that never seems to shift, even on a low-fat and restricted-calorie diet, and so it tends to be those who are overweight who make remedial dietary adjustments.
		She adds: "When I recognised the Syndrome X symptoms in myself I starting taking the X-Vite supplement and following the diet plan to ensure I´m not one of the two million that will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes later in life".

		Diabetes research now under way offers promising leads into understanding metabolic syndrome X, since insulin-resistance may lead to diabetes or metabolic syndrome X. The Diabetes Prevention Trial is looking at people with insulin resistance to see if diabetes can be prevented by lowering insulin levels.
		Lifestyle change, which includes increasing exercise, eating more fiber and losing weight, is the key to controlling metabolic syndrome X. In fact, the latest guidelines from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute call for providing intensified therapeutic lifestyle changes to people with the syndrome.
		By controlling your risk for metabolic syndrome X and type 2 diabetes with lifestyle changes, you have the added bonus of lowering your risk for heart disease and stroke.

		These metabolic changes suggested that rats on the experimental diet developed Metabolism Syndrome X. * Decreases in fasting blood glucose: After the eight-week Tegreen treatment, fasting blood glucose was decreased significantly (by 21.5 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively) in rats given Tegreen at a dose of 25 or 75 mg/kg.
		The close association of disordered lipid metabolism with other metabolic disturbances may be the unique feature of Metabolic Syndrome X. This study clearly shows that Tegreen intervention can significantly decrease visceral fat depot and increase the insulin's sensitivity, presumably touching one of the pathological root causes of this potentially deadly syndrome.

		People have the metabolic syndrome when they have several disorders of the body's metabolism at the same time -- such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
		The metabolic syndrome (also referred to as "insulin resistance syndrome" and "syndrome X") is serious, because its components can lead to complications including hardening of the arteries and an increased risk for cardiovascular and kidney disease.
		Although there is no complete agreement yet on the components of the metabolic syndrome or the individual risk levels for each component, we know the syndrome poses a significant health risk to individuals and is a growing health crisis for our country.

		Additional problems associated with Syndrome X include a reduction in the body's ability to fully metabolize carbohydrates, a disruption in blood coagulation factors, and often, an increase in uric acid levels, a problem associated with cardiovascular disorders.
		Really, Syndrome X is the body's way of trying to get a message to the brain: "You gotta change things before it gets out of hand!" In other words, quit while you're ahead.
		Combating the problems of Syndrome X involves not only eating a healthier diet with much less refined sugar and more green vegetables, protein, and healthy oils, but also making sure we take in the broad spectrum of nutrients needed for optimal functioning of our metabolic processes.

		First identified by lead author Reaven in 1988, Syndrome X, also known as "insulin resistance syndrome," is as powerful a predictor of coronary heart disease as are elevated "bad" cholesterol levels.
		It offers a detailed explanation of the causes and potentially devastating effects of Syndrome X, a six-step program to identify and manage the disease as well as a diet plan, complete with 1,200- and 1,800-calorie 30-day meal plans that incorporate the recommended ratio of fats to proteins and carbs.
		Weight reduction, exercise, and diet changes usually reverse Syndrome X. However, it's important for readers to realize that only a fraction of lipid disorders are caused by Syndrome X. Roughly 25% of the population carries the genes that cause a more serious form of small-particle LDL syndrome that usually requires multiple-drug intervention to reverse.
