Abstract Aims: To evaluate the inuence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as well as inammatory and renal markers on cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence.
Methods and results: During 2001e2002, 1514 men and 1528 women (>18y) without any clinical
evidence of CVD or any other chronic disease, at baseline, living in greater Athens area, Greece,
were enrolled. In 2011e2012, the 10-year follow-up was performed in 2583 participants (15% of
the participants were lost to follow-up). Incidence of fatal or non-fatal CVD was dened according to WHO-ICD-10 criteria. MetS was dened using three denitions, provided by the National
Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment panel III (revised NCEP ATP III), the International
Diabetes Federation (IDF) or the Harmonized denition. Furthermore, the contributory predictive
role of C-reactive protein (CRP), inteleukin-6, uric acid and estimated glomerular ltration rate in
the aforementioned models was evaluated. History of MetS-NCEP was positively associated with
CVD, adjusting for potential confounding factors (OR:1.83, 95%CI:1.24e2.72). Not statistically signicant associations with CVD incidence were observed when using the IDF or the Harmonized
denition. Additionally, none of the added inammatory and renal function markers mediated
the inuence of MetS on CVD incidence (all ps from Sobel test >0.40). C-statistic values for
the MetS denitions used exceeded 0.789 (CI:0.751e0.827), indicating fair-to-good predictive
probability of the models.
Conclusion: Results of the present work revealed the negative impact of MetS-NCEP, but not of
the other MetS denitions, on CVD incidence, a key-point that may help in better understanding
the role of IDF and Harmonized MetS denitions on CVD.

Introduction
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex disorder,
characterized by a cluster of interacting parameters

adult population [3]. During the previous years, the scientic evidence has suggested that the MetS is associated
with elevated levels of various inammatory markers [4].
In fact, low grade inammation is considered as one of the
main characteristics of the syndrome, caused by the
interaction of genetic and environmental factors [1]. Taking into consideration the signicant impact of the syndrome on public health, as its presence has been
associated with the development of atherosclerosis [5] and
most importantly with increased risk of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) [6,7], better understanding of its underlying
parameters is of crucial importance. In particular, understanding the impact of oxidative and inammatory
markers in the predictive ability of the cluster of the
known components might enable earlier diagnosis or
better identication of high-risk patients. Furthermore,
hyperuricemia has been associated with increased risk of
coronary heart disease and stroke [8,9]. Equally important,
impaired kidney function, expressed as estimated
glomerular ltration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 increases the risk of all cause and CVD mortality [10]. At the
same time, subjects with MetS have higher risk of renal
dysfunction, while uric acid levels have been suggested to
exert a causal role for MetS development [11,12].
Thus, the aim of the present work was to evaluate
whether the aforementioned markers inuence the predictive ability of the MetS regarding CVD development. In
more detail, the inuence of inammatory markers, uric
acid and eGFR, on the CVD incidence was examined in the
10 year follow-up of the ATTICA study [13]. The inuence
of MetS denitions, provided by the National Cholesterol
Education Program Adult Treatment panel III (revised
NCEP ATP III) [14], the International Diabetes Federation
(IDF) [15] or the International Diabetes Federation Task
Force on Epidemiology and Prevention, the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the American Heart
Association (AHA), the World Heart Federation, the International Atherosclerosis Society and the International Association for the Study of Obesity (Harmonized criteria) [2]
were evaluated. Specically, the research hypothesis was
to reveal which of the inherent, pathophysiological characteristics that differentiate the metabolic syndrome definitions, may better predict CVD incidence; furthermore, to
reveal if cardiometabolic markers, and particularly those
associated with inammatory effects and renal function,
may have an additional explanatory value to the 10-year
CVD risk. Both research hypotheses have been rarely
investigated in the literature.
Methods
Sampling procedure at baseline examination
The ATTICA study was carried out in the greater metropolitan Athens area (including 78% urban and 22% rural
regions) during 2001e2002 [16]. According to the protocol, the sampling procedure anticipated enrolling only one
participant per household; it was random, multistage and
based on the age (5 strata), sex (2 strata) distribution of the
