Tjelesna aktivnost i metabolički sindrom. (Croatian)

Physical Activity and Metabolic Syndrome. (English)

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) encompasses several disorders including abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia, and is closely related to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver steatosis, malignant diseases and dementia, which lead to higher mortality. Unfortunately, incidence of MS is continually increasing, not only in adults but also in children, which is in direct correlation with the sedentary lifestyle and high-calorie diet. Physical activity plays an important role in both prevention and treatment of MS as it affects underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of MS, especially insulin resistance (IR). Additionally, physical activity improves lipid profile, reduces arterial blood pressure and helps lose weight. Guidelines suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise combined with strength training 2 − 3 times per week. Moreover, it is important to reduce sedentary time in early childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Metabolički sindrom (MS) sastavljen je od niza poremećaja koji se manifestiraju centralnom pretilosti, arterijskom hipertenzijom, hiperglikemijom i dislipidemijom, a usko je povezan s rizikom od razvoja šećerne bolesti, kardiovaskularnih bolesti, steatozom jetre, zloćudnih bolesti i demencijom, odnosno pridonosi povećanju mortaliteta. Nažalost, njegova je incidencija u stalnom porastu i u odrasloj i u dječjoj populaciji, a navedeno je u direktnoj vezi sa sedentarnim načinom života i visokokaloričnom prehranom. U prevenciji i liječenju MS-a važnu ulogu ima tjelesna aktivnost jer utječe na patofiziološke mehanizme u podlozi MS-a, prije svega na inzulinsku rezistenciju (IR). Dodatno, tjelesna aktivnost pogoduje poboljšanju lipidograma i sniženju arterijskoga krvnog tlaka te pridonosi redukciji tjelesne mase. Preporučuje se minimalno 150 minuta aerobne tjelesne aktivnosti umjerenog intenziteta uz provođenje vježba snage 2 - 3 puta na tjedan. Također, već od dječje dobi bitno je skratiti vrijeme provedeno u sedentarnom načinu života. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
