Comparison of different definitions of metabolic syndrome and their associations with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is considered an important risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of MetS based on six different MetS definitions and compare the performance of various definitions for identifying diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia among NAFLD patients.

Methods

The definitions compared were those developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III), International Diabetes Federation (IDF), American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI), and Interim Joint Statement "harmonized" criteria.
