What this Trial Is About
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.
