What is Metabolic Syndrome?
According to the Mayo Clinic, metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions. It includes increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. These conditions occur together, increasing risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
The 2003 edition Metabolic Syndrome has been a popular anatomy poster for customers of ClinicalPosters until being discontinued in 2018. The publisher then redesigned the anatomy poster for 2019. However, formatting and illustration falls short of ClinicalPosters aesthetic standards. So a different Understanding Metabolic Syndrome poster is available from another publisher. The table below provides a comparison.

Which do you prefer? At the time of this writing, a limited number of 2003 Metabolic Syndrome posters are available and will not be replenished. If desired, order while supply lasts. The 2019 WK edition Metabolic Syndrome will not be stocked, favoring the SPL larger anatomy poster.
