Risks for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes associated with the metabolic syndrome: a summary of the evidence. (2005, background): “For seven studies (13,15,18,19,21,23,24) with eight estimates of relative risk that excluded participants with diabetes or Figure 1—A: Associations between metabolic syndrome, using the NCEP definition, and all-cause mortality.”
The metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal (2005, neutral): “drome, and incident cardiovascular events [68, 73, 74].”
Prediction of incident diabetes mellitus in middle-aged adults: the Framingham Offspring Study. (2007, methodology): “Other laboratory measurements included levels of fasting and 2-hour OGTT insulin (determined using a commercially available assay [DPC Coat-a-Count; Diagnostics Products Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif]), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, and C-reactive ”
The metabolically healthy but obese individual presents a favorable inflammation profile. (2005, result): “This finding is in line with previous studies that suggest that CRP levels could be an important factor associated with variations in insulin sensitivity (7, 9, 24).”
