Description

The 2 major definitions of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are based on disparate views as to the etiology of this diagnostic category. Proponents of the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP 3) version (1) consider this entity to be "truly is a syndrome," a grouping of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors that probably has more than one cause. In contrast, adherents to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition feel that there is a specific cause of their version of the MetS (2), stating that "central obesity is an early step in the etiological cascade leading to the full metabolic syndrome." I believe the view expressed by the proponents of the ATP III version of the MetS that there is no single "cause" of the components is true at the most simplistic level, but misleading, whereas the notion that abdominal obesity is the "cause" of these components, as expressed by the adherents to the IDF version, can be challenged.
