Metabolic syndrome (MetS) component groups by study visits from 1996 to 2011 based on a Poisson latent class growth model. Four MetS groups were determined with patterns reflecting the number of MetS components: none (16.5%), low-MetS (1 component; 30.9%), mid-MetS (2 components; 28.7%), and high-MetS (3 or more components; 23.9%).
