Metabolic syndrome is defined by a combination of risk factors that can lead to greater potential of type 2 diabetes, obesity, lipid disorders, cardiovascular disease, and other circulatory disorders. This meeting will take a multidisciplinary approach to understand the underlying biological mechanisms and translate that knowledge into prevention and treatment and to address the acknowledgement that what we consider "normal" may have changed.
