Fig. 3: Comparison of the traditionally defined metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the dichotomous MetS score in detecting the cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related risk factors and risk markers in the CMEC dataset.

The CVD-related risk factors included hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia; the CVD-related risk markers included elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol, body mass index, and serum uric acid. *Significance (p < 0.05) for the differences in the capacity of detecting the CVD-related risk factors and risk markers by the traditionally defined MetS and the dichotomous MetS score, with the paired Chi-square test used for sensitivity and specificity and the Delong’s test used for area under the curve (AUC). All tests are two-sided. The error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals of values of sensitivity, specificity, and AUC (see Table S5 for all specific values).
