There are currently two major definitions for metabolic syndrome provided by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the revised National Cholesterol Education Program (NECP), respectively. The revised National Cholesterol Education Program (NECP) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions of metabolic syndrome are very similar and it can be expected that they will identify many of the same individuals as having metabolic syndrome. The two differences are that IDF excludes any subject without increased waist circumference, while in the NCEP definition metabolic syndrome can be diagnosed based on other<unk>  and the IDF uses geographic-specific cut off points for waist circumference, while NCEP uses only one set of cut off points for waist circumference regardless of geography. These two definitions are much closer to each other than the original NCEP and WHO definitions.
