“…In these studies, the prevalence of MetS was estimated based on the IDF and/or NCEP-ATP III 2004 criteria. Among the articles, eleven studies reported the prevalence of MetS based on both NCEP-ATP III 2004 and IDF criteria [ 33 , 39 – 41 , 44 – 46 , 49 , 50 , 52 , 54 ], fourteen studies reported based solely on NCEP-ATP III 2004 criteria [ 26 , 27 , 29 – 32 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 42 , 43 , 47 , 51 , 53 ], and five studies reported based on IDF criteria alone [ 25 , 28 , 35 , 38 , 48 ]. Additionally, nine studies reported the prevalence of MetS subcomponents based on NCEP-ATP III 2004 criteria [ 26 , 27 , 32 , 36 , 41 – 45 ] and six studies based on IDF criteria [ 25 , 28 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 48 ].…”
