A new study finds that patients with metabolic syndrome may be at greater risk of lower urinary tract symptoms, while another study finds that weight loss surgery could reduce the occurrence of such problems.
Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when an individual has three or more metabolic risk factors, including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood glucose levels.
Metabolic syndrome affects around 34% of adults in the US, putting them at higher risk of stroke, heart attack, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, among other conditions.
