The updated „harmonized“ definition of the metabolic syndrome was preceded by several decades of studying cardiovascular risk factors,

particularly insulin resistance and abdominal obesity. The metabolic syndrome is not a new disease, but a strong alert to the high

risk cardiometabolic profile of the patient. Diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome is based on routine biochemical examinations and

casual blood pressure and waist circumference measurements. The most efficient therapy of all components of the metabolic syndrome

is bariatric/metabolic surgery.

Keywords: metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, bariatric, metabolic surgery
