 OBJECTIVES–Metabolic syndrome(MetS), important proctor of cardiovascular outcomes can be assessed by Revised NCEP ATP III and IDF

criteria. We aimed to concordance between both of the criteria.
METHODS –It was a cross sectional study with 390 participants. Detailed physical and laboratory examination were done with multiple
questionnaires. Prevalence of MetS was compared with Revised NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria.
RESULTS– MetS was diagnosed in 51.54% and 47.95% according to revised NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria respectively. Among those diagnosed
with MetS by modified NCEP, 6.5% were missed by the IDF criteria. Participants diagnosed by the modified NCEP criteria had lower waist
circumference but had higher cardiometabolic risks than those diagnosed with both criteria.
CONCLUSION– Prevalence of MetS is very high in medical professionals and the modified NCEP ATP III criteria may be more suitable in
diagnosis of metabolic syndrome for this Indian cohort.
