<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The report notes that previous definitions of the metabolic syndrome by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the revised [[National Cholesterol Education Program]] (NCEP) are very similar, and they identify individuals with a given set of symptoms as having metabolic syndrome. There are two differences, however: the IDF definition states that if [[body mass index]] (BMI) is greater than 30&nbsp;kg/m<sup>2</sup>, central obesity can be assumed, and waist circumference does not need to be measured. However, this potentially excludes any subject without increased waist circumference if BMI is less than 30. Conversely, the NCEP definition indicates that metabolic syndrome can be diagnosed based on other criteria. Also, the IDF uses geography-specific cut points for waist circumference, while NCEP uses only one set of cut points for waist circumference regardless of geography.</div>FuzzyBot
