Abstract:
In recent years, increasing attention is drawn to the metabolic syndrome (MS). In a workshop held in April 2005, International Diabetes Federation (IDF) developed a new global definition of MS which put the emphasis on central obesity as the essential component. This new definition mirrored the latest advance in both pathogenesis and epidemiology of MS, and will benefit the prevention against MS and its related diseases. There is no doubt that the new definition deserve clinical use worldwide even it is not perfect.
