Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important risk factor for premature death amongst the

Polish population. In 2014, CVD accounted for 45.1% of all deaths. According to a World

Health Organization expert analysis published in 2004, around 80% of cases of CVD,

stroke and type 2 diabetes mellitus are preventable if the most important risk factors can

be addressed. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) defines a constellation of risk factors, including

obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, associated with the development

of CVD. National cross-sectional research on the health of Poles indicates that over 90%

of men and 89% of women have at least one risk factor. It is estimated that in the coming

years the number of obese people will increase and the incidence of diabetes and arterial

hypertension will increase. This paper presents the most important and effective methods

for the treatment of MetS, which include a well-balanced diet, physical activity, vibrotherapy,

and pharmacotherapy. Effective action taken early on can reduce not only mortality risk,

but also decrease prevalence and disability and improve the quality of life of Polish citizens.
