Including diverse medical fields, metabolic syndrome congress programs explore the interrelated aspects of metabolic syndrome, further developing prevention and treatment strategies. Each metabolic syndrome congress is created as an academic and professional development opportunity for scientists and health care professionals; they are not open to the general public.
