title: [Metabolic syndrome diagnosis in patients with arterial hypertension and obesity].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop a universal method of metabolic syndrome (MS) diagnosis which is valid irrespective of the version in patients with documented arterial hypertension (AH) and obesity.
  
  
  METHODS
  MS was diagnosed according to two versions (WHO and ATPIII) in 517 males and 1041 females aged 20 to 75 years. All the patients had documented obesity and hypertension.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two versions used (WHO and ATPIII) provided the same results only in 44% patients: MS was confirmed in 16% and rejected in 28%. The rest 56% patients had MS only by one of the versions. A computer program has been created for making decision about MS presence in obese patients with hypertension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A diagnostic rule has been elaborated for MS diagnosis by associated disorders with accuracy of 94% even in the absence of information about such key components of MS as HDLP and triglycerides.
