MetS was diagnosed by (A) Japanese, (B) IDF and (C) NCEP-ATPIII criteria using WC, and also diagnosed by (D) Japanese, (E) IDF and (F) NCEP-ATPIII criteria using ABSI instead of WC. WC-MetS, conventional metabolic syndrome (MetS) diagnosed using waist circumference (WC); ABSI-MetS, MetS diagnosed using a body shape index (ABSI) instead of WC; Japanese, criteria developed by the Japanese Committee for the Diagnostic Criteria of MetS; IDF International Diabetes Federation, NCEP-ATPIII National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III.
