False; They are at a higher risk

Individuals diagnosed with a metabolic syndrome are at a higher risk of (heart) diseases because their blood sugar runs high, therefore causing damage to your blood vessels and increases a risk of getting a blood clot. Blood clots can be a doorway to other damaging things, such as heart and blood diseases. High cholesterol and insulin resistance also play a part into this.
