METABOLIC SYNDROME
A cluster of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease
The Metabolic Syndrome
A cluster of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease consisting of:• Central (abdominal) obesity• Diabetes, IFG and IGT • Hypertension• Dyslipidaemia
(“Deadly Quartet”)
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) consensus definition
In 2004, the IDF held an expert workshop to examine how the currently available definitions for the Metabolic Syndrome could be improved and developed with the aim of reaching a consensus for the introduction of a new and unifying definition.
THE ORIGINS
• 1920s
• 1940s/50s – Vague
• 1967 – Avogaro & Crepaldi
• 1988 - Reaven

1923
Kylin 1923 Description
“seems to suggest a peculiar syndrome including
hyperlipemia, obesity and diabetes. The
development of ischaemic heart disease … and
hypertension is often found in these patients.”
Avogaro & Crepaldi, 1965
Crepaldi 1965 Description
The 2000 WHO Working Group attempt to describe & define the
Metabolic Syndrome was an initiative to create interest and debate – it was never meant to
be the final answer.

Developing A New Definition of the Metabolic Syndrome: IDF Objectives
Needs:
• To identify individuals at high risk of developing
cardiovascular disease (and diabetes)
• To be useful for clinicians
• To be useful for international comparisons
The new IDF definition focusses on abdominal obesity rather than insulin resistance
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Consensus Definition 2005
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Consensus Definition 2005
Central ObesityWaist circumference – ethnicity specific*
– for Europids: Male > 94 cm Female > 80 cm
plus any two of the following:Raised triglycerides > 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L)
or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality
Reduced HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) in males< 50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) in femalesor specific treatment for this lipid abnormality
Raised blood pressure Systolic : > 130 mmHg orDiastolic: > 85 mmHg orTreatment of previously diagnosed hypertension
Raised fasting plasma glucose
Fasting plasma glucose > 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) or Previously diagnosed type 2 diabetesIf above 5.6 mmol/L or 100 mg/dL, OGTT is strongly recommended but is not necessary to define presence of the syndrome.

Primary management for the Metabolic Syndrome is healthy lifestyle promotion. This includes:
• moderate calorie restriction (to achieve a 5-10% loss of body weight in the first year)
• moderate increases in physical activity
• change dietary composition to reduce saturated fat and total intake, increase fibre and, if appropriate, reduce salt intake.
Recommendations for treatment
• Appropriate & aggressive therapy is essentialfor reducing patient risk of cardiovascular disease
• Lifestyle measures should be the first action• Pharmacotherapy should have beneficial effects on
– Glucose intolerance/diabetes– Obesity– Hypertension– Dyslipidaemia
• Ideally, treatment should address all of the components of the syndrome and not the individual components
Management of the Metabolic Syndrome
Summary: new IDF definition for the Metabolic Syndrome
The new IDF definition addresses both clinical and research needs:
• provides a simple entry point for primary care physicians to diagnose the Metabolic Syndrome
• providing an accessible, diagnostic tool suitable for worldwide use, taking into account ethnic differences
• establishing a comprehensive ‘platinum standard’ list of additional criteria that should be included in epidemiological studies and other research into the Metabolic Syndrome
