Data are %.

The definition of the metabolic syndrome was based on the recent WHO proposal (17);

†

P < 0.001 for differences in all variables between subjects with diabetes and NGT/IFG/IGT when men and women aged 35–70 years were compared separately;

‡

P < 0.05;

P < 0.01;

∥

P < 0.001 when age decade 60–69 was compared to age decade 40–49;
