Metabolic Syndrome is a leading cause of sickness absence, rising health care costs, decreased employee wellbeing and loss of productivity in the workforce. Simply defined, Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that increase a person’s risk for major chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol and more. But it’s reversible. Employers have the power to make a difference, but they need to act today.
