Abstract

This article investigates the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and the benefits of lowered body mass index (BMI) cutoff point for assessing MS prevalence in a large, nationally representative population sample comprising of 15,365 Thai adults from metropolitan Bangkok who received annual checkup. Prevalence of MS was characterized using the International Diabetes Federation criteria and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 as cutoff revealed that 26.63% of male and 14.90% of female subjects had MS and the prevalence was age dependent. Traditional BMI cutoff of ≥30 kg/m2 underestimated MS prevalence in Thai population while BMI ≥25 kg/m2 was found to be a suitable solution. Common combinations of MS components were identified in order to find common occurrences that may be implicated in the development of diabetes and/or cardiovascular diseases.
