Peripheral fat distribution versus waist circumference for predicting mortality in metabolic syndrome

Abstract
To elucidate whether the peripheral fat (PF)-combined definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) would show a better predictive ability for cause-specific mortality than the common MetS.Data were derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 through 2002. We investigated three types of MetS including waist circumference MetS (WCMetS), PFMetS, and PF-combined definition of MetS. The main outcome was to evaluate the...
