Metabolic syndrome and dermatological diseases: association and treatment
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical syndrome associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Its primary features include dyslipidemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance (IR). Recently, research has revealed that MetS is not only a mani...

| Summary: | Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical syndrome associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Its primary features include dyslipidemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance (IR). Recently, research has revealed that MetS is not only a manifestation of internal metabolic disturbances but is also closely associated with various dermatological conditions, including inflammatory skin diseases, autoimmune skin diseases, and skin tumors. These studies have clarified the complex mechanisms underlying the interaction between MetS and these skin diseases, including IR, chronic inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress. This review summarizes the association between MetS and related dermatological conditions and their shared physiological mechanisms. It aims to provide clinicians with new therapeutic strategies and preventive measures to improve the treatment outcomes and quality of life of patients with skin conditions. |
