Abstract

                   Metabolic syndrome (MS) is the most common health problem in adults with obesity or abdominal obesity with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and/or dyslipidemia including elevated triglycerides and a low level of HDL cholesterol. The main cause of MS is an unhealthy lifestyle. Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is necessary to have both medication and non-drug treatments. Lifestyle modifications is the non-drug treatment. The Transtheoretical  Model can be applied for use in behavioral changes to  help people overcome obstacles in behavioral changes toward  having new healthier behaviors resulting in a better  recovery of MS. This article describes the concept of the Transtheoretical Model and applications in promoting healthier behaviors  in patients with MS.
