Your Cardiometabolic Health, Simplified with AI

What are CMDs?

Cardiometabolic diseases refer to a cluster of closely linked health conditions that together greatly increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol or triglyceride levels, and excess body fat, especially around the waist. When they occur together, they not only worsen overall health but also accelerate damage to the heart, blood vessels, and other vital organs.
