Researchers sound the alarm on risks associated with metabolic syndrome. 2003


As much as one-third of the population has it, and the condition has been strongly linked with CVD, diabetes, and early death. But currently very little is being done to identify or treat this dangerous cluster of conditions. If there is good news, it is that relatively simple interventions can substantially improve a person's risk profile. Get the details.
