It is the first edition of an event promoted by Italian Red Cross (CRI), with no patronage of the Diabetes Doctors Association and in collaboration with the General Practitioners of the Italian Society of General Medicine (SIMG) and Federfarma pharmacies, with the aim of explaining to Italians what is the metabolic syndrome, a pathology still little known which considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in our country. Possible prevention, through proper nutrition and a lifestyle of movement. The first edition of the campaign "Let's measure ourselves: those who love... follow us" will be held on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 March.
