Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses for waist circumference in the definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) by sex. (a) Optimal cut-off point for men in Chile, its AUC with its 95 % CI. In addition, the figure compares the threshold with the international recommendations. (b) Same information for women. MetS was defined as the presence of ≥2 of the following conditions: TAG ≥1·7 mmol/l; HDL-cholesterol: <1·3 mmol/l in women and <1·0 mmol/l in men; systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mm Hg; fasting glucose ≥ 5·6 mmol/l or current treatment for diabetes. (a) Inline graphic, ROC (AUC = 0·74); Inline graphic, Random ROC (AUC = 0·50); Inline graphic, 95 % CI; Inline graphic, WHO/International Diabetes Federation (IDF) = 90·0 cm; Inline graphic, National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) = 102·0 cm; Inline graphic, Chile = 92·3 cm. (b) Inline graphic, ROC (AUC = 0·71); Inline graphic, Random ROC (AUC = 0·50); Inline graphic, 95 % CI; Inline graphic, WHO/IDF = 80·0 cm; Inline graphic, ATP III = 88·0 cm; Inline graphic, Chile = 87·6 cm
