Optimal waist circumference cut-off points and ability of different metabolic syndrome criteria for predicting diabetes in Japanese men and women: Japan Epidemiology Collaboration on Occupational Health Study

Abstract: BackgroundWe sought to establish the optimal waist circumference (WC) cut-off point for predicting diabetes mellitus (DM) and to compare the predictive ability of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria of the Joint Interim Statement (JIS) and the Japanese Committee of the Criteria for MetS (JCCMS) for DM in Japanese.MethodsParticipants of the Japan Epidemiology Collaboration on Occupational Health Study, who were aged 20–69 years and free of DM at baseline (n = 54,980), were followed-up for a maximum of 6 year… Show more

“…Young Adults and Metabolic Syndrome cut-off point, some studies suggested that the WC was appropriate. [23][24][25][26] With the NCEP-ATP III criteria, some previous studies in the United States reported that the incidence of MS per 1,000 person-years ranged from 12.0 to 27.9 for young women, and from 20.4 to 24.9 for young men. Compared with those studies, the incidences of MS in young Japanese adults are lower according to our findings, at 10.2 for women and 18.7 for men in the combined 20s and 30s.…”

“…The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is recognized by the occurrence of multiple metabolic abnormalities [1,2]. Although there is little data available on the prevalence of MetS in the elderly population both in Brazil and in a global scale [3], it is known that the prevalence increases with age [2,3].…”

“…Although there is little data available on the prevalence of MetS in the elderly population both in Brazil and in a global scale [3], it is known that the prevalence increases with age [2,3]. Detecting metabolic disorders -preferably early -is essential to prevent and delay the onset of cardiovascular diseases, including MetS, and to guide their treatment [4][5][6][7].…”
