N2 - In this article we review the association of three principal factors of the metabolic syndrome- insulin resistance, hypertension, and increased levels of inflammation factors-with several chronic, nonatherosclerotic conditions associated with aging-frailty, cognitive decline, impaired cardiovascular autonomic control, and possibly osteoporosis. We hypothesize that the metabolic syndrome is associated with "accelerated" aging.
