Metabolic Syndrome and Skin Manifestations: A Bidirectional Association

The document discussed the relationship between metabolic syndrome and skin manifestations, highlighting a bidirectional association. It emphasized that while the skin is primarily affected by its own pathologies, it also reflects the body's internal metabolic state. The skin acts as a major source of antioxidants, responding to stress and inflammation, which makes it susceptible to various infectious and systemic conditions. This connection suggested that skin conditions could serve as indicators of underlying metabolic issues.
