Continued burden of disease
Central adiposity, hypertension, dyslipidemia,
and dysglycemia drive cardiometabolic risk
Cardiometabolic risk is associated with
substantial cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
The ongoing epidemic of adiposity mandates
evaluation of new approaches for managing
cardiometabolic risk
