Scholarly Open Access Journals In Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is determined by the interaction of various genetic and environmental factors. Recent research suggests that metabolic syndrome has an element of heritability, indicating a genetic basis to it. The incidence of metabolic syndrome differs among various ethnic groups, with the highest rate in Mexican-American women. Although African Americans have a higher prevalence of obesity and hypertension compared to whites, they still have a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome. These ethnic differences strongly indicate a genetic component in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. High clustering of factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity in family and twin studies also underscores the role of genetics in metabolic syndrome Metabolic Syndrome: The Genetic Aspect: Vijaya Krishna Varanasi
