Editing Metabolic syndrome (section)

===Sedentary lifestyle===

Many components of metabolic syndrome are associated with a [[sedentary lifestyle]], including increased adipose tissue (predominantly central); reduced HDL cholesterol; and a trend toward increased triglycerides, blood pressure, and glucose in the genetically susceptible.
