Continuous metabolic syndrome (MS) severity scores that can track risk in individuals over time have been developed for Western populations. The present study aimed to develop gender- and age-specific equations MS Korean adults.Using data from the Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) IV (2010-2012) VI (2013-2015), we performed a confirmatory factor analysis of single allowed differential loadings across groups generate age-specific, continuous scores. Then, validated this equation different dataset adults.In analysis, waist circumference had highest loading, indicating strongest correlation with among adults. Lower (< 0.4) adults aged 40-59 years were noted systolic blood pressure fasting glucose. score values significantly correlated parameters, including high-sensitivity C-reactive-protein, glycated hemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance. Furthermore, well predicted traditional according receiver operating characteristic validation (KNHANES VII). In longitudinal cohort dataset, participants diagnosed Adult Treatment Program III (ATP-III) after an initial progressively higher baseline relationship their until ATP-III diagnosis.The new proposed provide clinically-accessible measure potential use identifying at MS-related diseases following changes within time.
