According to the Korea Society for the Study of Obesity's cutoff value (≥85 cm), prevalence of metabolic syndrome in pre- and post-menopausal women was 7.3% and 28.7%, respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in pre- and post-menopausal women was, according to our cutoff value (≥76.1 cm in pre-menopausal women, ≥82.5 cm in post-menopausal women), 13.4% and 36.4%, respectively, a higher prevalence rate than with application of the Korea Society for the Study of Obesity's cut off.
