Background and Purpose - Limited evidence was available on the metabolic syndrome and risk of cardiovascular disease in Asia. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of the metabolic syndrome and risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease in Japanese men and women. Methods - We conducted an 18-year prospective study of 9087 Japanese people aged 40 to 69 years ( 3595 men and 5492 women), initially free of ischemic heart disease or stroke. During follow-up, there were 116 ( 74 men and 42 women) cases of ischemic heart disease and 256 ( 144 men and 112 women) ischemic strokes. Metabolic syndrome was defined by the modified criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III ( NCEP/ATPIII), with the presence of >= 3 of the following factors: ( 1) serum triglycerides >= 1.69 mmol/L ( 150 mg/dL); ( 2) HDL-cholesterol < 1.03 mmol/L ( 40 mg/dL) for men and < 1.29 mmol/L ( 50 mg/dL) for women; ( 3) glucose >= 6.11 mmol/L ( 110 mg/dL) fasting or >= 7.77 mmol/L ( 140 mg/dL) nonfasting, or on treatment; ( 4) blood pressure >= 130/85 mm Hg or medication use, and ( 5) body mass index >= 25.0 kg/m(2). Results - For both sexes, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol were associated with increased risks of ischemic heart disease or stroke after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. A dose-response relationship was found between the number of metabolic risk factors and incidence of these cardiovascular end points. The multivariable hazard ratio ( 95% CI) associated with metabolic syndrome was 2.4 ( 1.4 to 4.0) in men and 2.3 ( 1.2 to 4.3) in women for ischemic heart disease, and 2.0 ( 1.3 to 3.1) and 1.5 ( 1.0 to 2.3), respectively, for ischemic stroke. The contribution of metabolic syndrome to the risks was independent of serum total cholesterol levels but stronger among smokers. Conclusions - The metabolic syndrome is a major determinant of ischemic cardiovascular disease among middle-aged Japanese men and women, in particular among smokers.
