Table 2

Prevalence of components of metabolic syndrome.

	𝑛	Waist circumference; (men ≥ 90 cm; women ≥ 80 cm); % (95% CI)	Serum TG; (≥150 mg/dL); % (95% CI)	Low HDL-C; (men ≤ 40 mg/dL; women ≤ 50 mg/dL); % (95% CI)	Hypertension; (≥130/85 Hg mm); % (95% CI)	Fasting blood glucose; (≥100 mg/dL); % (95% CI)
Total	2985	54.4	31.0	31.6	57.8	65.1
		(52.61–56.18)	(29.34–32.65)	(29.93–33.26)	(56.02–59.57)	(63.39–66.81)

CI: confidence interval and HDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Prevalences have been adjusted for the Ragama population using equal weights for each group in each gender.
