Figure 1.

The receiver operating characteristic curves of (A) body mass index, (B) waist circumference, and (C) waist-to-height ratio to predict the presence of two or more non-adipose metabolic syndrome (MS) in pre- and post-menopausal women. Area under the curve (AUC) values of indicators were all greater than 0.7 in pre-menopausal women, and lesser than 0.7 in post-menopausal women, showing that all indicators of central obesity were significantly (P < 0.001) more predictive of the presence of two or more non-adipose components of MS in pre-menopausal women than in post-menopausal women.
