See here what Coach Deb suggests:

If you scored 0-2 points:
You are at LOW RISK for metabolic syndrome.

Congratulations! You already are on your way to leading a longer healthier life! Keep going to find out what else you can do to maximize your potential.

You currently have minimal risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep your risk low.

Focus on regular physical activity, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, and regular check-ups to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. This will help you stay on track and prevent potential future issues.

If you scored 3-5 points:
You are at MODERATE RISK
and should consider lifestyle changes to lower your risk.

The good news is that you’re doing okay.  The bad news is that you could be doing better.

With just a few minor modifications to your lifestyle, you can move into the low risk category.

You have some risk factors for metabolic syndrome, which means your risk of developing related conditions like heart disease or type 2 diabetes is elevated.

This is a good time to make lifestyle changes, such as increasing your physical activity, adopting a more balanced diet, and possibly losing weight if needed.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar is also recommended. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on how to reduce your risk.

This is where I started my  Nourish journey and I was able to make a few simple modifications to my lifestyle to move into the low risk category.

If you scored 6-8 points:
You are at HIGH RISK
and should consult with a healthcare professional for evaluation and management.

You need to make some changes in your lifestyle. 
While you may be able to make effective modifications on your own, at this point we recommend you consult a healthcare professional and consider getting a second opinion to fully explore your options so you can make an informed decision.

You are at a high risk of metabolic syndrome, indicating that multiple risk factors are present, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or abnormal cholesterol levels. This significantly increases your chances of developing serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider as soon as possible to address these risk factors through lifestyle interventions, and potentially medication. Early intervention can help prevent more severe health outcome

If you scored 9-10 points:
You are at VERY HIGH RISK
and should seek immediate medical attention for assessment and treatment.

Yikes! Consider yourself lucky to have discovered this before an accident happens. 

We suggest you contact your healthcare professional asap and share the results of this quiz with them. This is obviously only a quiz and does not take the place of a thorough consultation and examination by your healthcare team.

You are at a very high risk for metabolic syndrome, which suggests that many or most of the risk factors are present. This is a serious health concern, as metabolic syndrome dramatically increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening conditions.

Immediate action is necessary. Seek medical attention to create a comprehensive management plan, which may include medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, as well as a structured plan for diet, physical activity, and weight loss.e
