The recommendations for management of hyperglycaemia, hypertension and dyslipidemia were based upon the Steno-2 study and body weight and waist circumference after ATP-III targets.
BMI and waist circumference z-scores will be calculated based upon age- and sex-specific reference values [ 41, 42].
Body Mass Index, as a measure of overweight (kg/m) and waist circumference are expressed as individual z-scores based upon age and sex related reference charts [ 63].
The primary outcomes were BMI z-score, based upon age-and sex-specific reference values [ 14], and the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
Participants were selected based upon the following criteria: 1) at least two MS characteristics using the South American waist circumference cutpoints [1], 2) age between 40 and 64 years, and 3) a full medical screening with a sports science physician.
This was significantly better (P < 0.001 for AUC comparison) than the models based upon clinical variables alone (AUC for the best clinical model including age, BMI, hypertension, waist circumference: 0.694 [95% CI 0.621 0.766]).
