Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic syndrome is a prevalent global health and societal issue, referring to an increased likelihood of cardiovascular events resulting from the concurrent presence of obesity and other factors, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. All elements of metabolic syndrome could be perceived as being the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. It is important to note that metabolic syndrome can lead to significant consequences, such as endocrinopathies, impaired renal function, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperuricemia, sympathetic overactivity, and inflammation associated with insulin resistance.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of papers addressing the endocrine and epidemiological aspects of metabolic syndrome and its individual components, with a special focus on obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The publication of this Special Issue and the interest that it will generate will raise awareness within the scientific community and the medical field regarding the widespread health issue known as metabolic syndrome.
Our preferred article types include original papers, as well as reviews and meta-analyses.
