Abstract
Metabolic syndrome in the elderly is a group of complex metabolic disorders with a high incidence, diverse clinical manifestations and complex mechanisms.It requires the use of a combination of drugs and there is a high risk of adverse drug reactions.At present, the clinical drug treatment of metabolic syndrome in the elderly is still based on the guidelines for each of its components and there is still a lack of relevant guidelines or consensus for standardized drug use in metabolic syndrome in the elderly.In view of this, we formulated the Expert Consensus on Drug Administration of Metabolic Syndrome in the Elderly, comprehensively classifying and summarizing the diagnostic criteria, treatment objectives, the latest treatment drugs and their interactions for geriatric metabolic syndrome and made 10 recommendations, to provide guidance for geriatrics, metabolic endocrinology, internal medicine, general practice, clinical pharmacists and other medical personnel to make drug treatment decisions and health management of metabolic syndrome in the elderly.
