Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for atherogenic dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, central obesity and hypertension. It is the most important cause of the development of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes type II. In the last few years studies have focused on the influence of the nutrient components of the disease, especially calcium and protein intake from dairy products. Studies have shown that varying degrees, and the mechanism may favourably affect the risk factors, but most of them do not take into consideration people with the full symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. Dairy products may play an important role in the prevention and mitigation components of the metabolic syndrome. It is not clear which ingredients of the food groups may be responsible for the positive health effects, and the possible mechanism for their actions.
