Elevated WAIST |
> 102 cm in men > 88 cm in women |
Idem¶ Idem |
Idem Idem |
| 2 |
Elevated Fasting GLUC |
≥ 110 mg/dl OR use of anti-diabetic medications‡ |
Idem Idem |
Idem Idem |
| 3 |
Elevated TG |
≥ 150 mg/dl |
Idem OR antihyperlipidemic treatment‡ |
If treated with antihyperlipidemics, the original TG was evaluated as TG/(1–15.2/100)‡ ≥ 150 mg/dl |
| 4 |
Reduced HDLC |
< 40 mg/dl in men < 50 mg/dl in women |
Idem Idem OR antihyperlipidemic treatment‡ |
If treated with antihyperlipidemics, the original HDLC was evaluated as HDLC/(1+6.1/100)‡ < 40 mg/dl in men < 50 mg/dl in women |
| 5 |
Elevated Blood Pressure |
≥ 130 mm Hg SBP OR ≥ 85 mm Hg DBP OR medication treatment for hypertension‡ |
Idem Idem Idem |
If treated with antihypertensives, the original SBP was evaluated as SBP+14.8 mm Hg‡ AND the original DBP was evaluated as DBP+10.5 mm Hg‡ ≥ 130 mm Hg SBP OR ≥ 85 mm Hg DBP |

*Original NCEP MetS criteria; **Subjects treated with antihyperlipidemics were considered as passed the corresponding threshold criterion; ***Average effects of many clinical trials were used to impute the original values of treated TG, HDLC, SBP, and DBP. After this correction, categories of MetS were applied. † Any three of the five criteria constituted a diagnosis of MetS; ‡See Methods for details; ¶Identical with the left column category of the same row. | ||||
