Table 4. Odds ratios (95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between cardiovascular events and three anthropometric indexes as criteria for MetS definition.

Definition of MetS:	Odds ratio	p value
BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2	2.11 (0.96–4.64)	0.650
WHtR ≥ 0.5	1.65 (0.75–3.63)	0.216
WC ≥ 102 cm (males); ≥ 88 cm (females)	2.62 (1.19–5.78)	0.017

MetS, metabolic syndrome; BMI, body mass index; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio; WC, waist circumferences.
