HIGH RISK SYMPTOMS

Abdominal obesity, as indicated by waist circumference, is defined as over 40 inches for men and over 35 inches for women. Other risk factors include low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, which are less than 40 mg/dL for men or less than 50 mg/dL for women, or the use of medication. Elevated triglycerides, measured over 150 mg/dL or requiring medication, are also a concern. Additionally, a triglyceride/HDL ratio exceeding 2 indicates increased risk. High blood pressure is diagnosed when systolic pressure exceeds 130 mmHg or diastolic pressure surpasses 85 mmHg, or when medication is necessary. Fasting blood glucose levels above 100 mg/dL, or the need for medication, and an HbA1c level exceeding 5.7% are further indicators of risk.
