Metabolic syndrome update

Grundy, Scott M.·2016·Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine

Abstract

The metabolic syndrome is a multiplex risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. It is composed of atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance and elevated glucose, a pro-thrombotic state, and a pro-inflammatory state. Excess energy intake and concomitant obesity are the major drivers of the syndrome. Lifestyle intervention can reverse metabolic risk factors, but at times, drug therapies or bariatric surgery may be required to control more overt risk factors.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Obesity is linked to dysregulation of lipid metabolism, which may result in abnormal levels of blood lipids, ectopic lipid deposition and associated metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic liver disease and atherosclerosis.

    “Obesity is linked to dysregulation of lipid metabolism, which may result in abnormal levels of blood lipids, ectopic lipid deposition and associated metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) [8] and atherosclerosis [9].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
