The metabolic syndrome and risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes: experiences with the new diagnostic criteria from the International Diabetes Federation
Abstract
Since the publication of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) consensus definition of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in 2005, numerous studies have compared the new IDF MetS category with previous MetS definitions in its association with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, and in its ability to predict vascular events and incident diabetes. The present review shows that the amount of cardiovascular risk conferred by the respective MetS definitions varies between populations; in most populations it is lower with the IDF MetS than with alternative MetS definitions. For incident diabetes, the number of existing studies appears too limited to draw definite conclusions. Like earlier definitions of the MetS, the IDF MetS is based on distinctive cutoff points for MetS stigmata, neglecting the fact that the risk factors are continuous and not categorical variables.
