Abstract

The vascular complications typical of diabetes can appear even in early stages such as fasting or postprandial glucose intolerance. Therefore, regular screening and early detection of these complications have a high clinical significance.

Central or visceral obesity is commonly associated with a set of risk factors (hypertension, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia) that increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; precisely the term metabolic syndrome (MS) is used to describe this association of factors.
