| Abstract: | The 2005 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition of the metabolic
syndrome was designed to be useful worldwide, but to date few prevalence studies have used that
definition in European populations. We estimated the age- and sex-stratified prevalence of IDFdefined
metabolic syndrome in a county of Norway and compared it with the prevalence estimated
using the revised National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel-III definition
(2005 ATP III). |
