Wednesday, November 15
2:00 - 3:15 p.m. EST
There is much confusion and debate about the cluster of conditions called
“metabolic syndrome.” Doctors have discussed the risk factors and symptoms
of this condition for many years but continue to struggle with its definition
and treatment today as it becomes more prevalent. For instance, one condition
of metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, currently impacts 41 million Americans
and 300 million worldwide.
GfK Market Measures will shed light on the current thinking, issues and
opportunities surrounding metabolic syndrome at its new teleconference,
Changing the Metabolic Paradigm. Using insights and rich data
gleaned from the company’s primary market research studies, GfK Market
Measures representatives will discuss:
- How physicians, patients and managed care
are experiencing, treating and managing the conditions underlying
metabolic syndrome, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, pre-diabetes
and diabetes.
- How obesity seems to be the common link in
the conditions making up metabolic syndrome, but it cannot be treated
because it is not yet officially recognized as a disease state.
- The possibilities for treating metabolic
syndrome as a whole, rather than each condition as a separate entity.
- Directions for future drug research, development
and commercialization.
Changing
the Metabolic Paradigm will feature highlights from the following
GfK Market Measures’ physician, patient-based and managed markets Multi-Client
Research Studies:
- TCS MD Hypertension Study
- TCS MD Dyslipidemia Study
