Metabolic syndrome belongs to risk factors for desease development which are one of the most common causes of deaths. Abdominal obesity, hypertension, lipid spectrum abnormalities, glucose tolerance disorder and inflammatory markers increase are included in basic risk factors. Sometimes some desease are listed as part of Metabolic syndrome, in other cases only biochemical abnormalities, therefore parts of metabolic syndrome can be divided into: typical, probable and loosely related.
