Summary: Individual nutrition education was found to be an effective method to improve knowledge, dietary habits, and physical activity of individuals with metabolic syndrome. Dietary modifications, such as increasing intake of polyphenols, fiber, and polyunsaturated fatty acids while decreasing saturated fatty acids, had a significant impact on improving certain risk factors of metabolic syndrome.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorder associated with high risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study utilized KNHANES data to investigate neck circumference as a predictor for MetS risk, with findings demonstrating a significant association between neck circumference and MetS risk, suggesting the need for further research for validation.

Summary: High levels of plasma triglycerides, BMI, and waist circumference, individually and combined, are associated with an increased risk of clinically diagnosed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study found that the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease increased in individuals with higher plasma triglycerides, BMI, and waist circumference over a 9.2-year follow-up period.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome (Met-S) is a significant health problem associated with insulin resistance (IR). This study aims to assess the relationship between different insulin resistance risk scales and Met-S and identify the components of Met-S that contribute most to IR. The results demonstrate that insulin resistance risk scales can accurately classify individuals with Met-S, particularly when using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria, and waist circumference is the key factor associated with both IR and Met-S.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between the hypertriglyceridemic waist circumference phenotype and gestational diabetes mellitus, with a higher prevalence of GDM in the HTWC group. This suggests that the HTWC phenotype could serve as a simple marker for identifying GDM risk factors.

Summary: This study investigates the association between adherence to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2016 and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in Chinese children aged 6-14 years. The study finds that better adherence to the dietary guidelines is associated with a lower risk of MetS in Chinese children.

Summary: The review highlights the effects of physical activity on adipokine levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, indicating that physical activity can improve diabetes status by regulating adipokine levels. However, variations in exercise modality, intensity, duration, and cohort characteristics may impact the results, suggesting that long-term aerobic + resistance training combined with dietary modifications may be a more effective strategy for improving adipokines profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes.
