Author: HealthyWomen
Published by: National Women's Health Resource Center, Inc., November 2006
Metabolic syndrome is not pre-diabetes, insulin resistance or glucose intolerance. It's not even a disease. Rather, it's a cluster of risk factors associated with obesity. Identifying the syndrome is important because, like that tip of the iceberg, it represents a very serious, yet hidden, danger to your health. You won't find an easier explanation of this complex weight-related health issue than what's presented in this 4-page publication.
