“…Wang et al (2009) [24] found a slightly lower cutting point (0.89), with AUC of 0.56 (95% CI:0.55 -0.57). The area under the ROC curve found in the current study was higher than that found in the other two studies.…”

“…WHeR is based on the assumption that height influences body fat accumulation and distribution [23] as well as WC size, over time [24]. Hence, changes associated with aging, such as reduced height and abdominal fat deposition may influence WHeR results differently in elderly age groups [14,22].…”

“…However, findings in the literature show consistent values with those found in the present study. Wang et al [24] identified the cutoff point of 23.93kg/m², but with a lower AUC value, 0,65 (95% CI:0.64 -0.66) in men. As for elderly women, they found the value of 24.15kg/m², (AUC=0.64; 95% CI: 0.61 -0.67).…”

“…Therefore, LAP is related to MS and can serves as a reliable marker of MS in PCOS women [ 24 ] . Both WC and BMI are shown to be good predictors of the presence of MS [ 25 ] . TG, also, is a reliable predictor for these cardiometabolic syndromes.…”

• ▶ polycystic ovary syndrome • ▶ metabolic syndrome • ▶ lipid accumulation product Lipid Accumulation Product is Related to Metabolic Syndrome in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are exposed to risk factors at a younger age [ 9 ] . Early and accurate identifi cation of high-risk individuals for MS could be important to predict and prevent CVD and type 2 diabetes. There is, therefore, an urgent need to develop a simple, accurate and economic predictor for MS in PCOS. The lipid accumulation product (LAP), which was fi rst described by Kahn [ 10 ] , is based on a combination of waist circumference (WC) and serum triglycerides (TG) and serves as a simple index for lipid over accumulation in adults. High levels of LAP are associated with CVD, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes [ 11 , 12 ] . In healthy population, LAP is a powerful marker of MS [ 13 , 14 ] , however, to the best of our knowledge, there is currently limited research on the relationship between LAP and MS in women with PCOS. Thus, we aim to investigate the ability of LAP to identify MS in PCOS patients. . It is characterized by hyperandrogenemia, chronic anovulation, and polycystic ovary morphology [ 2 , 3 ] .The etiology of PCOS is still not very clear, however, previous studies have shown that insulin resistance (IR) and central obesity are key pathological factors of PCOS [ 4 , 5 ] . PCOS is not only the reproductive endocrine disease, but also metabolic disorder. Patients with PCOS are often accompanied by metabolic abnormalities, such as dyslipidemia, obesity, and glucose intolerance, which are also components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) [ 6 ] . MS is a cluster of metabolic disorders associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and central or abdominal obesity is considered a fundamental pathology for the MS. Many of the anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities of PCOS overlap with components of MS, and PCOS patients are at increased risk of having MS [ 7 ] . Adults with MS are at a greater risk of developing CVD [ 8 ] . PCOS women with MS may be at even greater risk for CVD because they Materials and Methods

“…In older females, the MWC RI-based cut-off value was mostly identical to the WC cut-off value in the IDF criteria for females, of which validity was confirmed by a recent cohort study targeting the development of insulin resistance for a non-diabetic Korean population aged 40 years and over 16) . In older and younger males, the presently estimated MWC RIbased cut-off values were not always in keeping with the current WC cut-off value in the IDF criteria for males; however, they fully agreed with recent proposals based on cross-sectional designs that the WC cutoff value for males in the IDF criteria should be revised to 85 cm, repeatedly reported in Korea 17) , Japan 5,10) , China 18) and Hong Kong 19) . Notably, the latest cohort study mentioned above also supports this revision 16) .…”

Aim:The waist circumference (WC) cut-off values in the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome (MetS) established in Japan (Japanese criteria) differ from those established by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) for Asians (IDF criteria). Methods: To settle this contradiction, a cross-sectional study of Japanese aged 20-65 years was performed. After excluding subjects suffering from significant diseases other than those constituting MetS, excessive drinkers, and regular smokers, 835 males and 1,304 females were examined. WC was measured at the umbilical level (UWC) and midway between the ribs and iliac crest (MWC) according to both criteria in each subject.
