International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk

CMR Short Reviews
- The Concept of CMR
  Historical background on global cardiometabolic risk, epidemiological aspects of obesity and type 2 diabetes, ABCs of cardiovascular disease risk factors, intra-abdominal adiposity, metabolic syndrome and contribution to cardiometabolic risk.
- Evaluating CMR
  Research and clinical tools to identify individuals with excess intra-abdominal adiposity and quantify their risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (global cardiometabolic risk).
- Managing CMR
  Notions and practical tools to better manage the abdominally obese patient with excess intra-abdominal adiposity and related clustering abnormalities.
