Explanation: A) Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by insulin resistance, increased visceral and abdominal fat, increased release of free fatty acids (which impair insulin clearance by the liver), and alterations in peripheral metabolism. An adult individual who has three of the five criteria has metabolic syndrome: Increased waist circumference: men > 40 inches; women > 35 inches; elevated triglyceride levels > 150 mg per dL; elevated blood pressure: > 130/85 mmHg; elevated fasting glucose level > 100 mg per dL; reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels: men < 40 mg/dL; women < 50 mg/dL.
