Common causes

Sleep apnea
A disorder that causes periods of hypoxia or low oxygenation during sleep. This condition can worsen metabolic syndrome.
Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which the load on the heart and arteries increases.
Hyperlipidemia - dyslipidemia
A disorder that causes abnormal levels of lipids and triglycerides in the blood, which can lead to cardiovascular complications.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
This condition is common in people with metabolic syndrome, is related to elevated triglycerides and obesity, and causes fat accumulation in the liver.
Overweight and obesity
Overweight and obesity are characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body, which increases the risk of causing and complicating various diseases.
Insulin resistance
This occurs when the body does not respond to insulin, so it has to increase insulin production. This leads to high blood sugar levels and can eventually develop into type 2 diabetes.
