“…On the other hand, WHO-MetS which has higher threshold for high blood pressure, central obesity and fasting plasma glucose gives less weight to these components and on average identifies only individuals with more severe conditions and higher risk for CVD or total mortality. In line with our finding, previous reports showed that lower cut-offs for these components in more recent definitions such as IDF and JIS lead to a higher prevalence and lower predictive risk [22,23]. Therefore it seems that the increased risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in patients with WHO-MetS can be attributed to the presence of dysglycemia per se rather than to MetS itself as an entity, demonstrating a high overlap between MetS and dysglycemia, but indicates no added predictive value of MetS for CVD risk [24].…”

“…In a Chinese cohort of 1535 subjects, aged 50 years or older, MetS was associated with excess risk of all-cause mortality only in men [34]. A Lithuanian cohort of 2455 subjects, aged 35-64 years, showed an association between MetS (defined by JIS and IDF) and all-cause and CVD mortality in men [23]. In contrast to these studies, an Italian cohort of 1960, subjects aged 65 years showed that women diagnosed with MetS based on the NCEP, NCEP-R, JIS and IDF definitions had higher risk of all-cause mortality, whereas in men, mortality risk was not associated to MetS [35].…”

“…Also in line with our findings, previous literature has shown positive associations between MetS and CVD mortality in retrospective and prospective cohort designs or studies using health care data and focusing on specific populations (i.e. American and Iranian) [23,[41][42][43].…”

“…In previous analysis of Kaunas data it was shown that metabolic syndrome defined by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and new Joint Interim Societies (JIS) definitions remained the only significant determinants for all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in men (without previous CVD); however, in women the metabolic syndrome was not associated with CVD mortality risk [34].…”
