Modest sensitivity cautions against standalone screening; leaves open prospective validation for occupational metabolic syndrome detection.
Does a non-invasive method using waist-to-height ratio and blood pressure accurately detect metabolic syndrome in a working population?
A simple, non-invasive method using waist-to-height ratio and blood pressure provides high specificity and overall validity for the early detection of metabolic syndrome in occupational settings.
