BP: blood pressure, DM: diabetes mellitus, EGIR: European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance, FBG: fasting blood glucose, HDL: high density lipoproteins, IDF: International Diabetes Federation, IFG: impaired fasting glucose, IGT: impaired glucose tolerance, NCEP: US National Cholesterol Education Program, TG: triglycerides, WHO: World Health Organization. TG ≥ 1.695 mmol/L and HDL ≤ 0.9 mmol/L (male), ≤1.0 mmol/L (female). Waist/hip ratio > 0.90 (male) >0.85 (female), or body mass index > 30 kg/. Urinary albumin excretion ratio ≥ 20 μg/min or albumin/creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g. Waist circumference ≥ 94 cm (male), ≥80 cm (female). TG ≥ 2.0 mmol/L and/or HDL < 1.0 mmol/L or treated for dyslipidemia. Waist circumference ≥ 102 cm or 40 inches (male), ≥88 cm or 36 inches (female). TG ≥ 1.7 mmol/L (150 mg/dL) and HDL < 40 mg/dL (male), <50 mg/dL (female). Men, greater than 40 inches (102 cm) and women, greater than 35 inches (88 cm). Equal to or greater than 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L). Men, Less than 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) and women, Less than 50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L). Equal to or greater than 130/85 mm Hg or use of medication for hypertension. Equal to or greater than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) or use of medication for hyperglycemia. Defined as waist circumference with ethnicity specific values (If BMI is >30 kg/m², central obesity can be assumed and waist circumference does not need to be measured). TG > 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality. HDL < 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) in males, <50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) in females, or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality. systolic BP > 130 or diastolic BP > 85 mm Hg, or treatment of previously diagnosed hypertension. FPG > 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes. |
