*Age-adjusted prevalence was calculated using the direct standardization method based on the 2005 Korean census population obtained from the Korea National Statistical Office; †These criteria were used primarily in this paper; ‡Comparison of prevalences of metabolic syndrome between Korean emigrants and host country residents were conducted within the same country. p-values were calculated using logistic regression adjusted for age; §Three or more of the following: waist circumference >90 cm (M) or >80 (F), blood pressure >=130/85 mmHg, HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL (M) or <50 mg/dL (F), triglyceride >=150 mg/dL, fasting glucose >=110 mg/dL; ∥Three or more of the following: waist circumference >=90 cm (M) or >=85 (F), blood pressure >=130/85 mmHg, HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL (M) or <50 mg/dL (F), triglyceride >=150 mg/dL, fasting glucose >=100 mg/dL; ¶{Waist to hip ratio >0.9 (M) or >0.85 (F)} or BMI >30 kg/m2 plus two or more of the following: blood pressure >=140/90 mmHg, HDL-cholesterol <35 mg/ dL (M) or <39 mg/dlL (F), triglyceride >150 mg/dL, fasting glucose >=110 mg/dL; **{Waist circumference >=94 cm (M) or >=80 cm (F)} plus two or more of the following: blood pressure >=130/85 mmHg, HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL (M) or <50 mg/dL (F), triglyceride >=150 mg/dL, fasting glucose >=100 mg/dL.
HDL, high density lipoprotein.
*p<0.05, †p<0.01, ‡p<0.001; comparison of prevalences of components of metabolic syndrome between Korean emigrants and host country residents were conducted within the same country and sex group. p-values were calculated using logistic regression adjusted for age. §Prevalence is age-adjusted using the direct standardization method based on the 2005 National Census obtained from the Korea National Statistical Office.
HDL, high density lipoprotein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
*p<0.05, †p<0.01, ‡p<0.001; p-values are for the significance of standardized coefficient estimates in the logistic regression model.
__, Highest coefficient among the metabolic components within a specific ethnic group.
