Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 20 million people in the
US, or nearly 7% of the population. It is expected to increase by
70% within the next 25 years, and numerous epidemiologic studies
have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes increases the risk of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to cost
over $92 billion in health care costs and lost productivity. The
increased risk is due to the detrimental vascular effects of
prolonged exposure to a hyperglycemic, oxidant-rich environment
yielding associated cardiovascular risk factors: atherosclerosis,
hypertension and clotting abnormalities. Hypertension and
dyslipidemia in diabetic patients produces substantial decreases in
cardiovascular and microvascular diseases.

Metabolic Syndrome" provides an overview of the current epidemic,
outlines the consequences of this crisis and lays out strategies to
forestall and prevent diabetes, obesity and other intricate issues
