Metabolic syndrome has become one of the major problems of modern societies, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lipid disorders and other severe health issues. Raising awareness about the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is therefore crucial for preventing these types of conditions.
This talk will explore how factors such as obesity, hypertension and insulin resistance combine to heighten the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. It will also cover prevention and treatment strategies to address this critical public health issue. Don’t miss the opportunity to better understand metabolic syndrome and how to safeguard your well-being.
The aim of this talk is to inform the public about metabolic syndrome, with a special focus on younger audiences. Educating at an early age about healthy lifestyle habits can reduce the development of risk factors that lead to this syndrome.
Brief CV
Óscar Julián Arias Mutis holds a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and a PhD in Physiology from the University of Valencia (2023) and has a decade of experience in cardiovascular research. After completing the Master’s Degree in Sports Medicine, Traumatology and Physiotherapy and the Pedagogical Aptitude Course at the University of Valencia, he began his doctoral studies in the Experimental Cardiac Electrophysiology Group at the Department of Physiology of the University of Valencia, the INCLIVA Health Research Institute and the CIBERCV Biomedical Research Network. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher with the same group and a lecturer at CEU Cardenal Herrera University. Additionally, he is pursuing a degree in Medicine at the University of Valencia.
He has been part of several research projects both at national level (FIS-ISCIII) and at regional level (Prometeo-GVA Programme), which has allowed him to develop expertise in different experimental lines within cardiac electrophysiology, covering areas such as intracellular calcium homeostasis, myocardial infarction, metabolic syndrome and chronic physical exercise.
His research contributions include participation in multiple national and international conferences and the publication of several scientific articles in high-impact journals. He has also been involved in science popularisation by participating in the University of Valencia’s Mediauni programme A la Recerca, in the episode entitled “Model crònic d’infart agut de miocardi”.
