About 9 in 10 adults in the United States have not heard of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome despite nearly 90% of adults being at risk for the condition, according to a recent survey from the American Heart Association.

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, or CKM syndrome, is a disorder caused by the connections between heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and obesity. The syndrome, which was defined by the AHA for the first time in October 2023, reflects how these conditions can influence or worsen each other. 

“The health conditions were previously considered separate problems and are often managed separately. With this new designation, the AHA wants people to understand that the conditions are closely connected,” Mass General Brigham explains.

To diagnose CKM syndrome, providers will test different risk factors, to determine your stage from 0 to 4, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Stage 0 means no risk factors; Stage 1 means you have excess body fat; Stage 2 means you have a condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease; Stage 3 means you have heart disease without symptoms or a high risk of it; and Stage 4 means you have heart disease with symptoms, extra body fat and risk factors for diabetes or other metabolic conditions. Stage 4 could also include kidney disease.

According to a study published in JAMA last year, nearly 90% of U.S. adults have at least one risk factor for CKM syndrome, which include the following: 

  • High blood pressure
  • Abnormal cholesterol
  • High blood sugar
  • Excess weight
  • Reduced kidney function

“The interplay of these risk factors increases the risk for heart attack, stroke and heart failure more than any one of them alone,” the AHA said in a news release about its survey.

Changes to eating habits and physical activity can help prevent CKM syndrome, AHA and other experts say.

In a 2023 interview with CBS New York, cardiologist Dr. Nidhi Kumar said 33% of Americans have three or more risk factors that contribute to this syndrome.

“When we think of danger in medicine, sometimes people think of the words ‘cancer’ or ‘COVID,’ but chronic diseases, like those that make up CKM, are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States,” Kumar said.

#prevention #care #publichealth #substanceabuse #suicide #local #global #globalmentalhealthislocal | Pamela Collins

Last week in New York, the global mental health community showed up in its beautiful diversity for the Fourth United Nations High-level Meeting on prevention and control of NCDs and the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. I was privileged to start the week with Devex Impact House as a panelist for "Brain Health at the Crossroads: Innovation, Integration and Impact" and to share the stage with Vincent Mujune, Kana Enomoto, George Vradenburg, and Annika Sten Pärson.  Brain health requires a life-course approach that includes #prevention and #care. Primary care, #publichealth and community partners play important roles in both. We have to celebrate and sustain the research, the innovation, the advocates and the implementors around the globe who create paths to healing and recovery for well over a billion people living with mental, neurological, and substance use disorders. Global mental health is local, and I ended the week on Staten Island. Dr. Ginny Mantello and her colleagues shared the Blueprint for youth mental health, whose goal is to respond to worrying trends in mental health on Staten Island by engaging a broad coalition of committed partners to prevent and treat mental health conditions, #substanceabuse, #suicide and suicidal behaviors. CHRISTA D. LABOULIERE, New York State Office of Mental Health, Nick Ialongo, Allen Tien, MD, MHS, Joshua M. Sharfstein, Partnerships for Community Wellness, Staten Island Tech High School, Bloomberg American Health Initiative I’m so grateful for this community, #local and #global, whose research, practice, and advocacy spurs our field.
