Cardiometabolic diseases of civilization: history and maturation of an evolving global threat. An update and call to action.

abstract：:In the last three decades the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been growing worldwide along with an increase of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In children and adolescents such epidemics are particularly worrisome, since the metabolic consequences in adulthoo...
