Implication

MetS should not guide VTE risk assessment; leaves open abdominal adiposity as independent risk factor.

Structured PICO

Is Metabolic Syndrome or its individual components associated with unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism?

Intervention

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its individual components (e.g., abdominal adiposity)

Outcome

Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)hard clinical

While prospective cohort studies do not support the association, case-control studies suggest MetS is associated with VTE, with abdominal adiposity being a strong risk factor.
