The simplified method for quantifying metabolic syndrome (siMS) score reflects an increased cardiometabolic burden: adiposity, hemodynamics, and HRV findings in young adults
These findings suggest that higher siMS scores reflect early cardiometabolic risk through adverse hemodynamic and autonomic profiles, even in the absence of overt MetS, metabolic abnormalities, or detectable microvascular dysfunction. The siMS score may serve as a proactive tool for identifying at-risk individuals, supporting targeted interventions to mitigate long-term cardiometabolic risk.
