Optimal cut points of waist circumference for the clinical diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in the Japanese population.
نویسندگان
چکیده
I n 2005, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the Japanese Committee for the Diagnostic Criteria of Metabolic Syndrome (Japanese definition) proposed metabolic syndrome definitions for the Japanese population (1,2). Both definitions included waist circumference as an essential component and adopted cut points of 85 cm for men and 90 cm for women based on the relationship between waist circumference and visceral fat area by computed tomography (3). However, those cut points have been in dispute because of their suboptimal sensitivity and specificity (4 – 6). Recently, the IDF proposed common cut points for the whole Asian population including the Japanese: 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women (7). In this study, we investigated optimal waist cut points to identify subjects with multiple risk factors in the Japanese population and verified the cut points to predict carotid intimamedia thickening in metabolic syndrome subjects as a surrogate marker of early atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (8–10).

متن کاملOptimal cut‐off point of waist circumference for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in Japanese subjects
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been redefined by a new criterion in Japan, in which waist circumference cut-off points, that is 85 cm for men and 90 cm for women, are used; however, objections are rising against this criterion. The present study examined the criterion for waist circumference to predict the accumulation of the components of MetS. In the present study, we used data for 5972 Japane...

AIM/INTRODUCTION Waist circumference (WC) is the most important parameter for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. The present study was carried out to obtain optimal WC cut-off values for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in a Japanese population based on the measurement of total intra-abdominal visceral fat volume (VFV), which could be expected to reflect visceral obesity more precisely than viscer...
