About this trial

This study aims to establish a cohort of individuals with metabolic syndrome and prediabetes to enable long-term follow-up of risk factors, disease progression, and the development of obesity-related complications. The study will also monitor changes in nutritional status and physical function over time, in order to identify key prognostic determinants influencing clinical outcomes.

Metabolic syndrome and prediabetes are chronic multisystem disorders, and poor long-term control is closely associated with the development of various complications. Moreover, malnutrition and functional decline are common comorbid conditions that further impair quality of life and impose a substantial burden on healthcare resources.

Trial population

articipants eligible for inclusion are adults aged 18 years or older who have been clinically diagnosed with either metabolic syndrome or prediabetes. Metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of at least three of the following five criteria: (A) waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in men or ≥ 80 cm in women, or a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m²; (B) fasting plasma glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL; (C) systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg; (D) triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL; and (E) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) \< 40 mg/dL in men or \< 50 mg/dL in women. Participants meeting the definition of prediabetes, defined as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels between 5.7% and 6.4%, will also be eligible. All participants must be willing to join the study, provide written informed consent, and be able to complete basic physical examinations and assessment procedures.
