Metabolic Syndrome, Syndrome X

The syndrome-ness is a way of stating that if you have a subset of those symptoms, you’re probably heading toward the rest of them, since they’re all one or two steps away from each other. Have elevated Insulin levels, low HDL, and abdominal obesity and the chances are pretty good you’re going to get insulin resistance. (Location 1182)
LDL and HDL

But how about if your Glucose levels, blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, and so on, are all in the normal range, but all of them are getting near the edge of where you have to start worrying? In other words, no measure is abnormal, but there’s an abnormally large number of measures that are almost abnormal. (Location 1188)
