The review is devoted to the topical issues of non-pharmacological treatment of metabolic syndrome, namely, fight against hypodynamia (the mechanism of sanogenetic action of Scandinavian walking) and insulin resistance (the effect of drinking mineral water on normalization of insulin secretion). Non-medicamentous measures aimed at reducing body weight, changing dietary stereotypes, quiting bad habits such as smoking and alcohol abuse, increasing physical activity. These changes contribute to the formation of healthy lifestyle, they are highly effective, increase oxygenation of tissues, improve functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and have a pathogenetically directed effect on all links of metabolic syndrome: abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, violation of carbohydrate metabolism, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, sympaticotonia, arterial hypertension.

The Impact

The link between psoriasis and sport is a controversial issue. The topic has been poorly investigated, and nowadays there are many unsolved questions, dealing with the role of psoriasis in influencing the sporting habits of patients and, vice versa, the impact of sport activity on course, severity and extent of the disease, with particular regard to the indirect benefits on cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the role of physical activity on patients’ quality of life and the potential limitations on physical activity due to joint involvement have not been well elucidated until now. In this narrative review we will try to provide answers to these queries.

Background:The role of psychosocial stress in the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome is receiving increased attention and has led to examination of whether physical activity may moderate the stress-metabolic syndrome relationship. The current study examined relationships among physical activity, stress, and metabolic syndrome in adolescents.Methods:Participants (N = 126; 57 girls, 69 boys) were assessed for anthropometry, psychosocial stress, physical activity, and metabolic syndrome variables; t tests were used to examine sex differences, and regression analysis was used to assess relationships among variables controlling for sex and maturity status.Results:Mean body mass index approached the 75th percentile for both sexes. Typical sex differences were observed for systolic blood pressure, time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity, and perceived stress. Although stress was not associated with MetS (β = –.001, P = .82), a modest, positive relationship was observed with BMI (β = .20, P = .04).Conclusions:Strong relationships between physical activity and stress with MetS or BMI were not found in this sample. Results may be partially explained by overall good physical health status of the participants. Additional research in groups exhibiting varying degrees of health is needed.

In a review article analyzes the role of heredity in the occurrence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Debut of hyperphagia and severe obesity from early childhood are typical for monogenic forms and syndromes. Many nonspecific candidate-genes in combination form a polygenic basis for the accumulation of excess body fat, especially under the influence of irrational diet and low physical activity. Examined the role of epigenetic factors in the individual genetic variants in fetus, predisposing to obesity and metabolic syndrome after birth. Discuss the possibilities of early prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions, each of which represents a risk factor for cardiovascular disease: central obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Any of these conditions and MetS itself have been associated to Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia. In recent years there is a growing evidence for the role of physical activity in preventing metabolic diseases and cognitive decline. In our research we assessed the prevalence of MetS in a sample of 154 elderly people. Furthermore, we evaluated cognition (with Mini Mental State Examination, MMSE)  and the physical activity level in every patient. We found a significant association between MetS, borderline cognitive impairment and sedentary lifestyle.
