ABSTRACT

The optimum cut-off point of waist circumference for identifying metabolic syndrome(MS)in Kazak was investigated.Based on Internationul Diabetes Eederation.2052 Kazak adults were analysed.At the cut-off point of waist circumference(≥199 cm for men,≥88 cm for women),the rates of false positive and negative for identifying MS were reduced to a minimum.The two cut-off points were possibly appropriate for identifying MS in Kazak.
