Abstract :

 Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) among rural post–menopausal women using three different criteria was conducted among 116 post–menopausal women from five villages of Singur, West Bengal, India in order to assess their usability. Blood pressure; waist circumference; fasting blood glucose, serum triglycerides and serum HDL were measured. MS was defined using IDF, 2005 (for Asians); NCEP ATP III and the Consensus definition for Asian Indians (CDAI). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS V:16. Prevalence of MS differed according to criteria used, being highest for the CDAI (40.52%). Prevalence of risk factors of MS among the women not having defined MS was high according to all criteria. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and LR+ for CDAI against IDF were 100%, 87.18%, 79.17%, 100% and 7.8, respectively; whereas, for NCEP–ATP III these were 65.79%; 91.03%; 78.12%, 85.32% and 7.3, respectively.
