Abstract

Numerous algorithms originating from evidence-based medicine already exist; in spite of this, metabolic syndrome management remains problematical and needs to be improved. Specialists, working interactively and referring to clinical scenarios, pooled their specific areas of expertise in a transverse perspective of the metabolic syndrome management by the primary care physician. This concerted multidisciplinary approach has clearly revealed that a bio-psycho-social approach is absolutely essential in the management of this type of patients.
