V. Parameters influencing the metabolic syndrome

There is no hierarchy in the symptoms/parameters: all of them are important, because the time of the development and the severity of the various symptoms display individual differences.  The sequence of the developing symptoms is still controversial. It is known that the role of insulin resistance is very important, but its priority is unclear. The symptoms of the MetS are interpreted differently by the patients and the doctor. Because of the individual differences, there are no precise and general treatment protocols, but the risk of the development of complications may be decreased by an appropriate lifestyle.
