代谢综合征认识和防治的新进展——评《国际糖尿病联盟关于代谢综合征定义的全球共识》

A new advance in the recognition and prevention of metabolic syndrome:comments on the new worldwide definition of metabolic syndrome,a consensus reached by International Diabetes Federation

近年来代谢综合征(MS)引起了越来越多的关注。国际糖尿病联盟(IDF)在今年4月份的一次国际专家研讨会上提出了一个全球统一的新定义,强调以中心性肥胖为核心组分。新定义反映了对MS基础和流行病学研究的新进展,虽有需要完善之处,但仍将有利于在全球范围防治MS及相关疾病,是值得推广的一个MS新定义。

In recent years, increasing attention is drawn to the metabolic syndrome （MS）. In a workshop held in April 2005, International Diabetes Federation （IDF） developed a new global definition of MS which put the emphasis on central obesity as the essential component. This new definition mirrored the latest advance in both pathogenesis and epidemiology of MS, and will benefit the prevention against MS and its related diseases. There is no doubt that the new definition deserve clinical use worldwide even it is not perfect.
