MetS risk factor	Range	Mean	At risk (n)
Blood pressure (mm Hg)			6
Systolic	88–159	122 ± 14
Diastolic	45–97	69 ± 10
HDL cholesterol (mg/dl)	24–127	58 ± 15	10
Total cholesterol (mg/dl)	100–339	176 ± 35
Central Adiposity
WHR	0.7–1.1	0.8 ± 0.1	50
Sagittal trunk diameter (cm)	5.3–10.3	7.6 ± 1.0	4
Waist circumference (cm)	52.0–134.6	83.1 ± 11.8	54
BMI	17.0–37.5	25.5 ± 4.1	41
HbA1c, mmol/mol (NG-SP%)	27–45 (4.6–6.3)	33 ± 0.9 (5.2 ± 0.3)	5

At risk cut points are 140/90 for blood pressure, < 35 mg/dl for HDL cholesterol, > 0.9 for waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), > 27 cm for sagittal trunk diameter, > 94 cm for waist circumference, > 30 for body mass index (BMI), and ≥6.0 % for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Total number of risk factors refers to the sum of MetS risk factors, including blood pressure, HDL, any measure of central adiposity, BMI, and HbA1c
