[A study on the difference between International Diabetes Federation worldwide definition and Adult Treatment Panel III in diagnosing metabolic syndrome].
OBJECTIVE
To study the difference between the metabolic syndrome (MS) diagnosis made with International Diabetes Federation (IDF) worldwide definition and the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII) of National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP).


METHODS
Cross-sectional study and descriptive study were used.


RESULTS
There were 1328 MS patients diagnosed with IDF and 1527 MS patients diagnosed with ATPIII. There were 199 MS patients diagnosed with ATPIII but not with IDF and these MS patients all had 3 - 4 risk factors. According to the abnormality of glucose, blood pressure and lipid regulation stated in ATPIII criteria, 759 more patients were diagnosed as MS than with IDF criteria.


CONCLUSIONS
MS diagnosed with ATPIII criteria is more objective than with IDF criteria and ATPIII criteria has more space for further theoretical study.
