	Revised ATP III criteria	IDF criteria	CDS criteria
MetS (+)
Low (<6%)	67.5	74.2	39.4
Moderate (6%–10%)	3.5	3	6.7
Moderate high (10%–20%)	5.2	3.3	7.2
High (>20%)	3.7	3.5	7.2
DM/CVD	20.1	16	39.4
MetS (−)
Low (<6%)	86.1	81.9	85
Moderate (6%–10%)	3.7	3.8	3.3
Moderate high (10%–20%)	5.9	6.3	5.5
High (>20%)	1.4	1.8	1.6
DM/CVD	2.9	6.2	4.7
P values	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001

P value, based on a comparison of the distributions of risk groups between those with and those without metabolic syndrome.

ATP, Adult Treatment Panel; CDS, Chinese Diabetes Society; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; IDF, International Diabetes Federation; MetS, metabolic syndrome.
