Three nonmodifiable risks were assessed separately: an age 62 or older, being a male, and a family history of coronary artery disease.”

“Cardiometabolic syndrome is a constellation of disorders that includes insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, abnormal blood lipids, high blood pressure, and obesity. People who have cardiometabolic syndrome are more likely to die from heart disease or experience a heart attack or stroke than those without the syndrome.”

“Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, is a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes, and may be improved by raising blood ketone levels.”

“However, they did not have an increased prevalence of high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, or increased inflammation.”
