MetS as defined using the criteria of the joint interim statement: the presence of three or more of the following risk factors: (1) waist circumference ≥90 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women, (2) triglyceride level ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), (3) HDL-C level <40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L) in men and <50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) in women, (4) blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg systolic or ≥85 mm Hg diastolic, (5) fasting glucose level ≥100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
