Diagnosis of The Metabolic SyndromeIDF CRITERIA (2005) • Central obesity (defined as waist circumference 94 cm for Europid men and 80 cm for Europid women, with ethnicity specific values for other groups) • Plus any two of the following four factors • TG 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/l), or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality • HDL <40 mg/l (1.03 mmol/l) in males and <50 mg/l (1.29 mmol/l) in females, or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality • Systolic BP 130 or diastolic BP 85 mmHg, or treatment of previously diagnosed hypertension • Fasting plasma glucose 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l), or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Link between Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome • Fat accumulation leads to systemic oxidative stress • Increase ROS (eg H2O2) -increase NADPH oxidase activity and decreased antioxidant enzymes – leads to dysregulated adipocytokine production - insulin resistance - increase MCP -1 – HPN and atherosclerosis

Obesity Is An Inflammatory Stimulus • Metabolic syndrome is a proinflammatory, proatherogenic condition • Many adipose tissue products can cause insulin resistance and inflammation: • Cytokines (e.g., TNF-a, IL-6) • Chemokines • Growth factors • Procoagulants (e.g., PAI-1) • Free fatty acids • Resistin • Adiponectin • Nitric oxide synthase
Atherosclerosis Is An Inflammatory Disease • Initial step of atherosclerosis: leukocyte recruitment by the dysfunctional endothelium, facilitated by chemo-attractants and adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1) • In the intima, maturation of the mononuclear phagocyte towards the foam cell (capture of modified lipoproteins) • Activated foam cells • express the procoagulant tissue factor • generate reactive oxygen species and pro-inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-6) • can also be the source of enzymes that alter the metabolism of the extracellular matrix • Death of the mononuclear phagocyte by either oncosis or apoptosis leads to formation of the lipid core of the atherosclerotic plaque
Atherosclerosis Is An Inflammatory Disease • The endothelium and smooth muscle vascular cells can themselves elaborate pro-inflammatory cytokines. • In the initial phase of inflammation, elaboration of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the cross talk between leukocytes and intrinsic vascular wall cells play a key role in the initiation of the progression phase.
Atherosclerosis Is An Inflammatory Disease • Alterations in the metabolism of the extracellular matrix under the plaque arterial remodelling • Suppression of new collagen synthesis by smooth muscle cells • Overproduction of collagen-degrading proteinases that attack the collagen within the fibrous cap • Inflammatory mediators tightly control the biosynthesis of tissue factor (a procoagulant) • Weakening of the fibrous cap thrombosis of a disrupted atheroma

The Metabolic Syndrome Is A Metabolic Time Bomb • With the elevated risk of diabetes andcardiovascular disease from the metabolic syndrome, there is an urgent need for strategies to defuse this metabolic time bomb
Management of Metabolic Syndrome
What to do About the Metabolic Syndrome? • Intervening in the Metabolic Syndrome: • Cardiovascular Risk Assessment • Metabolic Syndrome • Traditional Risk Factors • B. Lifestyle Modification • C. Drug Treatment
First Step: Assessment of Global Cardiovascular Risk • Risk engines incorporate the major cardiovascular risk factors into a summary 10-year CHD risk score • Framingham: age, sex, smoking, total cholesterol, HDL-C, systolic blood pressure or treated hypertension • PROCAM: age, smoking, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, SBP, fasting blood glucose, diabetes, treated hypertension, family history of CHD • UKPDS risk engine: estimation of cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and no previous MI
Therapeutic Objectives To reduce underlying causes: • Overweight and obesity • Physical inactivity To treat associated lipid and non-lipid risk factors: • Hypertension • Prothrombotic state • Atherogenic dyslipidaemia • Insulin Resistance or Glucose Intolerance
Lifestyle Therapies: First-Line Interventions to Reduce Metabolic Risk Factors • The major lifestyle interventions include: • Weight loss in overweight or obese subjects • Increased physical activity • Modification of an atherogenic diet • These changes will produce a reduction in all of the metabolic risk factors simultaneously • In the long run, the greatest benefit for those with the metabolic syndrome will be derived from effective lifestyle intervention
Weight Reduction or Maintenance • Weight reduction through caloric restriction: • Caloric intake should be reduced by 500-1000 calories per day to produce a weight loss of 0.5-1.0 kg per week • The goal is to reduce bodyweight by about 7-10% over 6-12 months • Weight maintenance can be achieved throughlong-term lifestyle changes
Dietary Changes • Caloric restriction must be combined with a set of dietary principles: • Saturated fat: 7% of total calories • Reduced trans fat • Dietary cholesterol: <200 mg daily • Total fat: 25-35% of total calories • Reduced consumption of simple sugars • Increased intakes of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains The relative amounts of carbohydrate and unsaturated fats is more controversial
