Description
Summary:[See article vol. 29 : 188-199] Metabolic syndrome is a combination of cardiovascular risk factors that, in turn, increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Lifestyle-related diseases may occur as a result of the interaction between genetic disposition and lifestyle, but the incidence of every lifestyle-related disease cannot be explained only by this idea. Poor nutrition in early life has been suggested to increase susceptibility to the effects of an affluent diet. The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHad) theory suggests that dispositions for health and development of disease are formed during the fetal/infant period. Umemoto et al. showed a negative relationship between the birth weight and the risks of hypertension and glucose tolerance in middle-aged individuals.
