Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) was present in 71% of adult hypertensive subjects according to modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP-III) criteria in a tertiary care health centre. Female gender and higher body mass index (BMI) were predictors for MS among these patients. BMI cut off of 23 (overweight) had sensitivity of 94% and positive predictive value of 75% for diagnosing MS among them.
