Metabolic syndrome is characterised by a constellation of cardiovascular risk factors such as abdominal adiposity, elevated triglyceride levels and elevated blood pressure.
Based on the NCEP ATP II Guidlines, the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is made when at least three cardiovascular risk factors are present.
In 2005 The International Diabetes Foundation proposed a new definition for metabolic syndrome that is based on the presence of abdominal adiposity in two addition cardiovascular risk factors.
