Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the clinical practice is still debated, due to different diagnostic criteria, target populations and clinical settings. Thus, the main purposes of the study were: (I) to evaluate prevalence of MS; (II) to estimate prevalence of additional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and concomitant conditions in patients with MS followed by general practitioners (GPs) in Italy.

Abstract
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the clinical practice is still debated, due to different diagnostic criteria, target populations and clinical settings. Thus, the main purposes of the study were: (I) to evaluate prevalence of MS; (II) to estimate prevalence of additional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and concomitant conditions in patients with MS followed by general practitioners (GPs) in Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
