Prevalence and relationship between metabolic syndrome and risk of cardiovascular disease: Evidence from two population-based studies

CONCLUSIONS: Developing effective public health strategies for the prevention, detection and treatment of MetS should be an urgent priority to reduce the burden of CVD, not only in subjects at high/very high CV risk, but also in those characterized by a lower risk, as even rare CV events that come from low risk group bring a tangible burden to healthcare systems.PMID:33589223 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosissup.2021.01.008
