AB Metabolic  syndrome  is  a  collection  of  factors  associated  with  central  obesity.  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.
