This group will be facilitated by our internist, Dr. Sylvie Galindo. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions which include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Obesity increases one's chance of having metabolic syndrome. In this session Dr. Galindo will explain how this condition can develop and discuss the risk factors that can contribute to its onset. She will also discuss how we screen for and diagnose this condition, the health risks associated with metabolic syndrome and why it is important to be proactive, as well as strategies for management.
