In recent years, the “three high diseases”, which are closely related to lifestyle, have become a very prominent health problem of our population, and the cardiovascular diseases caused by them have become the first killer that endangers the health of our nationals! In 1988, the famous American endocrinologist Reaven proposed that lipid abnormalities, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia are often brought together. The medical term for this group of syndromes is “metabolic syndrome”. Metabolic syndrome is a complex group of metabolic disorder syndrome, which is a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. These metabolic disorders are the pathological basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. There is a common pathological basis, and it is now mostly believed that their common cause is insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia caused by obesity, especially central obesity. It can cause an increase in a variety of diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and even certain cancers, including breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and prostate cancer related to sex hormones, as well as pancreatic cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, and colon cancer of the digestive system. With common preventive and therapeutic measures, the prevention and control of one metabolic disorder will be beneficial to the prevention and control of other metabolic disorders. Diagnostic criteria recommended by the Chinese Medical Association’s Division of Diabetes: 1, overweight and/or obese BMI ≥ 25 (BMI is the number derived from weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared). 2, diagnosed diabetes, or fasting blood glucose ≥ 6.1 mmol/L and/or 2 hours postprandial blood glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L. 3, patients with hypertensive disease. 4, hyperlipidemia: dyslipidemia fasting blood triglycerides ≥ 1.7 mmol/L, and/or fasting blood HDL-C < 0.9 mmol/L. Those with 3 or all of the above 4 components can be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Preventive treatment: Primary intervention (general public, high-risk groups) 1. Rational diet: control total caloric intake and reduce fat intake. Keep body weight in the appropriate range. Principles: low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt multi-fiber, multi-vitamin 2, quit smoking and avoid alcohol: after 1 year of quitting smoking, the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by about 50% in those who quit smoking, and after 15 years of quitting, it will be reduced to the same level as never smokers. Patients with high blood pressure, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other patients should avoid alcohol. 3, moderate exercise: appropriate physical activity and sports, advocate daily light to moderate intensity physical activity for 30 minutes 4, psychological balance: maintain psychological balance, eliminate tension and anger and hostility and other adverse emotions can make reduce the probability of suffering from hypertension, coronary heart disease, peptic ulcer, menstrual disorders and other symptoms, enhance the body's immune function, slow down the human aging process. Secondary intervention (disease intervention based on primary intervention) 1. antihypertensive drug therapy 2. lipid-regulating drug therapy 3. hypoglycemic drug therapy 4. weight-loss drug therapy 5. comprehensive Chinese herbal medicine conditioning Metabolic syndrome is closely related to coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular death and overall mortality, therefore, from the perspective of cardiovascular disease prevention, the control and management of metabolic syndrome cannot be ignored. We hope you can have an understanding of it and keep your body and mind healthy in daily life.
