“…In the Greek study, the prevalence of abdominal obesity estimated using the IDF definition is significantly higher than that estimated using the NCEP definition because the IDF waist circumference threshold for Europeans is less strict (!94 cm for European men and !80 cm for European women), compared with the NCEP [13]. The findings of the Greek study are similar to those of the Australian and Mexican study [16,18]. In the US study, the IDF waist circumference thresholds for various ethnic groups are lower than the NCEP [17].…”

“…Among the Korean adults in our study, the overall prevalence of the IDF-defined metabolic syndrome was lower than that of the NCEP-defined metabolic syndrome, which appeared to be inconsistent with the studies reported in Greece [15], Australia [16], the US [17] and Mexico [18]. However, the comparison with other studies should be made with caution.…”

Additionally, this increase in prevalence associated with the IDF definition was more pronounced in men than in women.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] In these studies, there has been only slight variability between these two definitions in the number of people identified as having the metabolic syndrome, especially in women. However, all these studies have looked at populations with a low overall prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and have not focused on postmenopausal women.…”

BackgroundMethods: We compared the prevalence and prognostic utility of both definitions of the metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women with angiographic CAD enrolled in the Women's Angiographic Vitamin and Estrogen Trial (WAVE). We excluded 51 of 423 women enrolled (12%) who had missing data for components of the metabolic syndrome.Results: Mean age was 65.3 ؎ 8.4 years, 70% were white, mean body mass index (BMI) was 30.5 ؎ 6.0 kg/m 2 , mean waist circumference was 96.2 ؎ 12.9 cm, 89% had hypertension by history or elevated blood pressure, 58% had diabetes or hyperglycemia, 54% had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and 44% had hypertriglyceridemia. Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 70% and 74% by ATP III and IDF criteria, respectively; 68% met criteria for both definitions. Classification between the two criteria was not affected by ethnicity or age. Incident cardiovascular events were similar in both metabolic syndrome classifications.Conclusions: Among postmenopausal women with angiographic CAD, the metabolic syndrome is very prevalent. The IDF modification of the ATP III definition only identifies a small additional number of women as having metabolic syndrome, independent of ethnicity or age, and provides little additional prognostic information.

“…In the United States, 39% and 34.5% of adults had metabolic syndrome by two definitions, respectively [47]. In an another study done in South Australia, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was higher by the IDF definition (22.8%) when compared with the ATP III definition (15%) [48]. The prevalence in Isfahan (Iran) was 65.0% with higher rate in females than males (71.7% female and 55.8% male) [36].…”

The metabolic syndrome is described by the clustering of several risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Lipid disorder, obesity, diabetes in general and high blood pressure are collectively defined as risk factors for cardiovascular disease triggered by metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndromes have a correlation with the variations in genetic susceptibility, nutritional regiment, physical exercise, chronological age and gender which play direct role in the incidence of metabolic syndrome and its side effects. There are several definitions of Metabolic Syndrome in the World: World Health Organization's (WHO), The NCEP Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). It appears that the female type 2 diabetic patients need to change their life style to halt the burden of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients. Clinicians should significantly consider screening all people regardless of age for abnormalities in glucose level. Early treatment in people with abnormal glucose level constitutes a strategy of preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Studies about metabolic syndrome have shown that females were more affected than males. This may be due to the specific characteristics in the lifestyle changes between females and males diabetic patients. Postmenopausal status might be a predictor of metabolic syndrome. Some related factors of metabolic syndrome among postmenopausal women may increase cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.
