“…One of the findings of the present study is the variability of the overall prevalence of MetS among the study participants according to IDF, WHO, harmonized, and NCEP-III diagnostic criteria which is 59.9%, 31.2%, 65.6%, and 70.1%. A study from Gonder, Ethiopia observed a prevalence of 70.3%, 57%, and 45.3% by NCEP-ATP III, IDF, and WHO criteria, respectively,18 which is relatively comparable with our study. The variation on the prevalence of MetS among these different criteria was observed by other previous studies that compare different MetS diagnostic criteria 17,19.…”

“…The prevalence of MetS in our Malaysian patients with T2D as defined by revised NCEP ATP III criteria was higher than that reported in Ethiopians [28], Nepalese [29], Iranian [30], sub-Saharan Africans [31]; White, Black, and Mexican Americans [32]. On the other hand, a lower prevalence of MetS 45.8 and 28% was reported from India using NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria, respectively [9], and Ghana 43.83% according to NCEP ATP III and 69.14% by IDF criteria [33].…”

“…The prevalence of MetS in our Malaysian T2D de ned by IDF was similar to that reported in Ethiopians [28], Nepalese [29], Iranian [30], sub-Saharan Africans [31], and White American (70%) but higher than the Black (65%) and Mexican Americans (62%) [32] even though NCEP criteria were used in their study. On the other hand, a lower prevalence of MetS was reported from India 45.8, 57.7 and 28% using NCEP-ATP III, WHO and IDF criteria respectively [9] and Ghana 43.83% with NCEP-ATP III, 63.58% with WHO, and 69.14% with IDF criteria [34].…”
