South Asians and the metabolic syndrome

June 21st, 2007 | by David Spelts |

This study from the UK examined the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome amongst those from the Indian subcontinent. Asian populations accumulate visceral fat, as measured by waist to hip ratio (WHR), at lower BMI than Caucasian populations.

Increasing dietary omega-3 fatty acids reversed many of the cardiovascular risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome.
