About the network

The incidences of metabolic syndrome and metabolic-related diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and fatty liver diseases are increasing worldwide. It is becoming a global health issue for every country and influences many families.

Taking the prevalence of the diabetes and prediabetes in USA as an example:

  • 25.8 million Americans have diabetes - 8.3 percent of the U.S. population. Of these, 7 million do not know they have the disease.
  • In 2010, about 1.9 million people ages 20 or older were diagnosed with diabetes.
  • The number of people diagnosed with diabetes has risen from 1.5 million in 1958 to 18.8 million in 2010, an increase of epidemic proportions.
  • It is estimated that 79 million adults aged 20 and older have prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes.

    • The good news is that diabetes and other metabolic-related diseases can be prevented. The first step of any prevention is to understand the risk factors associated with the diseases.

    The mission of the Metabolic Wellness Network is to promote the awareness of the risk factors associated with diabetes and other metabolic-related disease, and offer the latest knowledge on prevention plan. Most information on this website is based on the materials from the

  • National Diabetes Education Program of NIH (ndep.nih.gov).
  • Center for disease control and prevention (www.cdc.gov/diabetes/)

    • Thanks for all the scientific and social awareness materials diligently prepared by the dedicated staffs at these global organizations.
