A metabolic disorder is a disorder that negatively alters the body's processing and distribution of macronutrients, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Metabolic disorders can happen when abnormal chemical reactions in the body alter the normal metabolic process.

A meta­bolic disorder is a dis­or­der that neg­a­tively al­ters the body's pro­cess­ing and dis­tri­b­u­tion of macronu­tri­ents, such as pro­teins, fats, and car­bo­hy­drates. Meta­bolic dis­or­ders can hap­pen when ab­nor­mal chem­i­cal re­ac­tions in the body alter the nor­mal meta­bolic process.

Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of at least three of the following five medical conditions: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Metabolic syndrome is associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
