Síndrome Metabólica: Uma Perspectiva Holística para a Saúde Cardiometabólica

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a set of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Effective management involves nutritional interventions, physical activity, pharmacotherapy, and psychological support. Adopting lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and exercise, improves insulin sensitivity and blood pressure control. The aim of this study is to analyze multidisciplinary strategies in the management of metabolic syndrome to optimize cardiovascular and metabolic health. Scielo and Pubmed were used as search engines for selecting articles, using the keywords “Metabolic Syndrome, Cardiovascular System, and Risk Factors for Heart Diseases”. It is concluded that metabolic syndrome is a multifaceted condition involving abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Its effective management requires an integrated approach, considering the interrelationships between these risk factors. Interdisciplinary approaches have shown positive results, with clinical, nutritional, psychological, and physical interventions. Stress reduction, through educational programs and psychological support, improves health indicators, such as glucose and cholesterol, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, collaboration among different health specialties is essential for personalized and effective treatment, promoting long-term health.
