This study included 386 patients with metabolic syndrome admitted for the treatment to a health spa facility. Diagnosis was established using the specially developed program of combined clinical examination, functional tests, and laboratory analyses. A specific feature of the present spa and resort treatment was the extensive application of carefully selected non-medicinal therapeutic modalities in combination with pharmaceutical preparations. The study has demonstrated that the use of the active treatment program produced beneficial effect in the majority of the patients.
