Implication

Cross-sectional analysis estimates high metabolic syndrome prevalence in urban Haiti, highlighting nonlaboratory definitions as practical screening tools.

Key Points

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (21.2%) in urban Haiti indicates significant heart disease risk among adults.
Among 2721 participants, nonlaboratory definitions of metabolic syndrome had high sensitivity (74.4%) and specificity (91.6%) compared to the gold standard.
Cross-sectional analysis utilized data from the Haiti CVD Cohort Study, focusing on demographic and health behavior variables.
Simplified screening methods could be crucial for effective cardiovascular disease prevention in low-resource settings.
