*

Metabolically healthy – individuals having ≤1 NCEP-ATPIII criteria (consisting of waist circumference >102 cm in men and >88 cm in women; systolic or diastolic blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication; serum triglycerides ≥1⋅69 mmol/l or on lipid-lowering medication; HDL-C <1⋅03 mmol/l in men and <1⋅29 mmol/l in women or on treatment aimed to increase HDL-C; fasting glucose ≥5⋅6 mmol/l or on antihyperglycemic agents.

Metabolically unhealthy – individuals having ≥2 metabolic abnormalities of the NCEP-ATPIII criteria.
