Early Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in Primary Care

Metabolic syndrome is a global public health problem. In recent years research has been carried out that contributes to the knowledge of the subject although with controversial criteria. The early identification of people with MS is a moral medical and social-economic imperative that should not be ignored. Early diagnosis of this condition makes it possible to apply early interventions to promote changes in healthy lifestyles as well as preventive treatments to avoid the appearance of cardiovascular and metabolic complications.
