Metabolic disease encompasses excess adiposity, dysglycaemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and hypertension that translate to excess cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. The prevalence of metabolic disease is increasing in prevalence, driven by excessive intake of energy dense food and physical inactivity, and is a major challenge for healthcare services.
