Abstract
Metabolic syndrome a concurrence of disorders including obesity insulin resistance dyslipidemia and hypertension has gained importance because of its association with subsequent development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The extent of coronary atherosclerosis in children and young adults increases markedly with the increasing number of multiple risk factors.

Recent studies suggest that metabolic syndrome may even originate in the embryonic and fetal stages. (excerpt)
