topicChocolate Cardiovascular Steatotic Liver Disease Risk Factors
claimMetS is a multifactorial condition, with its primary indicators including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia; i.e., a patient who possesses at least 3 of the following parameters is designated with MetS: glucose intolerance, increased levels of triglycerides, augmented waist circumference, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and hypertension [,,].
