Metabolic syndrome in the elderly is a serious condition made up of several health problems such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, and abdominal obesity. This combination increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Older adults are more vulnerable due to hormonal changes, reduced physical activity, and aging. Prevention and management of metabolic syndrome can start with a healthy diet, regular exercise, maintaining ideal weight, and regular health checkups. Education for the elderly and their families is also important to support healthier and more independent living.
