Some conditions that can be called metabolic syndrome are:

 1. HIGH BLOOD SUGAR
 Sugar is a source of calories and energy for the body. Normally, the sugar consumed will be released from the blood and stored as energy. If sugar stays in the blood it will cause a condition of high blood sugar levels. Glucose in the blood will reach all body organs and systems such as the heart arteries and veins, kidneys, and nervous system. Someone with high blood sugar has a risk of several diseases such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, and amputation. High blood sugar levels often develop into type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The risk factor for metabolic syndrome is when fasting blood sugar levels are above 110 mg / dL.

2.OBESITY
One indication of the metabolic syndrome is central obesity in the form of obesity around the stomach. Someone is diagnosed with obesity if his weight is more or equal to 20% of his ideal body weight. Obesity causes insulin resistance which is the inability to respond to insulin normally.

 3. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
 High blood pressure is a condition when blood pressure in the arteries is too high. High blood pressure will damage blood vessels. If high blood pressure lasts for a long time, the blood vessels will thicken and become less flexible. This is called atherosclerosis and can affect arteries that give blood to the heart. The risk factor for metabolic syndrome is when blood pressure is more than 130/85 mmHg.

4. HIGH TRIGLICERIDE
High triglyceride levels in the body can cause fat deposits in the arteries called plaques that cause oxygen-containing blood to reach the heart is difficult. High triglyceride levels of more than 150 mg / dl increase the risk of heart attack.

5. CHARESTEROL LEVELS ARE NOT NORMAL
Cholesterol can be produced by the liver or can also come from food eaten. There are types of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Too much bad cholesterol (triglycerides and LDL) and less good cholesterol (HDL) can increase the risk of coronary heart disease. Triglycerides and HDL levels are important indicators of the metabolic syndrome. A person who has metabolic syndrome and is not treated properly will be at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. Some studies say that the metabolic syndrome is very closely related to individual metabolism or how the body processes food. Normally, food is absorbed by the body into the bloodstream in the form of sugar and other basic substances. When blood sugar levels increase, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin. Insulin is in the cells of the body which causes glucose to enter and be used for energy. In some people, body cells cannot respond to insulin (insulin resistance). Some studies suggest that insulin resistance can develop into metabolic syndrome.

METABOLIC SYNDROME

PRELIMINARY
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of symptoms of various cardiometabolic risk factors including overweight (overweight), central obesity, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which occurs together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The meaning of metabolism here means biochemical processes, while risk factors are lifestyle or conditions that increase the risk of getting this disease. A person is said to be in a metabolic syndrome state if he has at least some conditions, namely high blood pressure, obesity, abnormal blood fat levels, and also low levels of HDL or good cholesterol.

CAUSE
The basic disorder is insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps control the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. Insulin resistance is found in most patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Usually, the digestive system breaks down food eaten into sugar (glucose). Blood carries glucose to body tissues, where cells use it as fuel. Glucose enters cells in the body with the help of insulin. In people with insulin resistance, cells do not respond normally to insulin, and glucose cannot enter cells easily. As a result, blood glucose levels increase and the results are higher than normal levels of insulin in the blood. This can eventually cause diabetes when the body cannot make enough insulin to keep blood glucose within the normal range. Even if the glucose level is not high enough to fall into the category of diabetes, the level of glucose can still be dangerous. This condition is called prediabetes. Increased insulin resistance raises triglyceride levels and other blood fat levels. It also disrupts the work of the kidneys, causing high blood pressure. The combined effect of insulin resistance places on the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other conditions. Insulin resistance may involve various genetic and environmental factors. Some people may be genetically susceptible to insulin resistance.

COMPLICATION
Having metabolic syndrome can increase the risk of developing this condition: Diabetes: if it does not control insulin resistance, glucose levels will continue to increase causing diabetes. Cardiovascular disease (CVD): High cholesterol and high blood pressure can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. This plaque can cause the arteries to harden and narrow, which can cause a heart attack or stroke.
