title: [The integrated approach to diagnostics of metabolic syndrome in clinical practice].
abstract: Basic criteria of diagnostics and definitions of metabolic syndrome recommended by various international associations and expert groups are discussed. Permanent changes of criteria and usage of various approaches to diagnostics influence prevalence of metabolic syndrome among populations and estimation of its association with unfavorable outcomes. Some definitions of metabolic syndrome are more sensitive in detection of risk groups for cardiovascular diseases, and others in - detection of persons with high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. New integrated definition of metabolic syndrome which unites pathophysiological and clinical epidemiological approaches for assessment of metabolic disorders and detection of high risk groups of patients applicable for use in everyday clinical practice is presented.
