ABSTRACT

Metabolic syndrome is a group of clinical syndromes characterized by overweight or obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism, and insulin resistance.It is a group of metabolic associated risk factors.Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is one of the most common diseases nowadays, and its risk factors include obesity, diabetes, and abnormal blood lipid.In recent years, the relationship between LDH and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been valued by scholars.Although some studies have suggested that MetS is related to LDH, the study of the correlation between MetS and LDH at home and abroad is relatively rare.To explore the possibility of using MetS for the prevention and control of LDH, this paper reviews the research progress of the relationship among MetS, the various components, and LDH.
