代谢综合征的临床定义的价值受到质疑，其预期用途和目的存在混淆。我们的目的是构建一个使命声明，概述了代谢综合征在临床和公共卫生settings.Case研究的价值已被用来证明三个关键points.We主张在这里认识到肥胖是代谢综合征内的一个关键因素，但也许更重要的发展之前。我们还认为，这一概念确实具有风险预测工具的作用，它可以为即将到来的全球糖尿病和心血管疾病流行病的规模和进展提供有用的衡量标准。通过对其目的的理解，并认识到其局限性和使其独特和有价值的属性，我们相信我们已经证明代谢综合征在全球糖尿病和心血管疾病预防工具箱中占有一席之地。
The value of clinical definitions of the metabolic syndrome has been questioned, with confusion surrounding their intended use and purpose. Our aim was to construct a mission statement that outlines the value of the metabolic syndrome in clinical and public health settings.Case studies have been used to demonstrate three key points.We argue here for recognition of obesity as being a crucial element within the metabolic syndrome but perhaps even more important before its development. We also contend that the concept does indeed have a role as a risk prediction tool, and that it could provide a useful metric for the scale and progress of the looming global epidemic of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Through appreciation of its purpose, and recognition of both its limitations and those attributes that make it unique and valuable, we believe we have demonstrated here that the metabolic syndrome deserves its place in the global toolbox of diabetes and CVD prevention.
