Metabolic syndrome is a biochemical-clinical condition characterized by resistance to insulin action associated with a proinflammatory and prothrombotic state. It represents an important cardiovascular risk factor with a constantly increasing incidence in the general population; therefore, its early detection is fundamental to implement preventive interventions. This chapter describes the main characteristics of metabolic syndrome and the criteria used to diagnose it.
