Comparison of “Traditional” vs. “New” MetS. A: Prevalence of MetS among adolescents from NHANES 1999–2010 based on a common pediatric adaptation of ATP-III MetS as compared to “New” MetS based on cutoff of new metabolic syndrome risk Z-score = 0.75. B and C: Sensitivity and specificity ATP-III MetS and “New” MetS in predicting adolescents with two or more elevations of MetS-associated risk markers (hsCRP, uric acid, and fasting insulin).
