Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of unfavo- rable health factors including abdominal obesity, dys- lipidemia, hypertension and glucose intolerance [1,2] and is strongly associated with increased risk of cardio- vascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes [1,2].

The metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease are very close related. This syndrome
Centricity Electronic Record database. Population Health Management, 13(3), 151-161. This study evaluates GE Centricity Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data to dissect the effects of body mass index (BMI) and obesity, key risk factor components of metabolic syndrome, on the prevalence of three chronic diseases: type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and high line pressure. The principle for using Centricity EMR data is 2-fold. First, EMRs may be a dangerous source of BMI/obesity data, which are often

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is a syndrome where horses become overweight, and if it is not treated. The horse can become dangerously overweight, which leads to laminitis and even death in severe cases. Horses that have EMS may be at risk for insulin resistance. EMS patients need certain foods that don't have a lot of sugars, low in carbs, and they even need to be feed in moderation that they can not eat so much that they overeat and they just stuff themselves so they can not get rid of the
