• Physical activity in the prevention of type 2 diabetes: the Finnish diabetes prevention study. (2005, background): “Epidemiological studies have suggested that moderate-to-vigorous leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) protects against the development of type 2 diabetes (1–6) as well as the metabolic syndrome (7), which commonly precedes diabetes and cardiovascular disease (8,9).”
• The metabolic syndrome: prevalence in worldwide populations. (2004, background): “An interesting demonstration of the effect of ethnicity on the metabolic syndrome is a comparison of the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome as defined by the ATPIII criteria among Finnish and Native American men [16,37].”
• The metabolic syndrome. (2003, background): “A study in Finnish middle-aged men indicated that individuals with the metabolic syndrome by either the WHO or NCEP definition were seven times more likely to develop diabetes during a 4-year follow-up than age-matched controls without metabolic syndrome [34].”
• Risks for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes associated with the metabolic syndrome: a summary of the evidence. (2005, background): “Four studies (5,18,26,27) examined the risk of developing diabetes among people with the metabolic syndrome defined by NCEP criteria.”
• Increasing prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among u.s. Adults. (2004, background): “Recent work has shown that people with the metabolic syndrome based on the NCEP/ATP III criteria are at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (7,8,10,11).”
• The metabolic syndrome as predictor of type 2 diabetes: the San Antonio heart study. (2003, methodology): “(14) have also described a better predictor of diabetes with the modified WHO definition than with the NCEP definition.”
