Key result
The AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome independently correlated with coronary heart disease and stroke in elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Why the study?
Does the AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome better predict cardiovascular disease compared to IDF and JSIM definitions in Japanese elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Cross-Sectional (n=812)
Does the AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome better predict cardiovascular disease compared to IDF and JSIM definitions in Japanese elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
The AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome is more useful than IDF or JSIM criteria for predicting cardiovascular disease in elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

AHA/NHLBI MetS criteria may aid CVD risk identification in elderly diabetics; leaves open prospective validation versus other definitions.
Sakurai et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=812). AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome vs. IDF and JSIM definitions of metabolic syndrome / absence of metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease and stroke). The AHA/NHLBI definition of metabolic syndrome independently correlated with coronary heart disease and stroke in elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
