Central obesity is indicated by waist circumferences of ≥94 cm for men and >80 cm for women. Metabolic syndrome is further determined by any two of the following: raised triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, raised blood pressure, and raised fasting plasma glucose levels or type 2 diabetes.1,2 Clinical management of this syndrome is focused on controlling its risk factors, especially atherosclerosis. Clients with metabolic syndrome have impaired endurance, primarily related to a sedentary lifestyle. Endurance impairments are exacerbated by the development of cardiovascular disease and complications related to type 2 diabetes. Clients using medications for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes will need regular evaluation for the effectiveness of these medications.
