Figure 2 Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and contributing factors by plasma triglyceride concentration in cases (A) and control subjects (B). The legend shows triglyceride strata (mg/dl). Cut points for factors of the metabolic syndrome are as defined by ATP-III except body mass index (BMI) which for this study was defined as BMI  30 kg/m2. All trends were significant with p < 0.0001 except for the high blood pressure (BP) in cases for which the p value for trend was 0.002. Patients with type III hyperlipidemia were excluded. HDL = high-density lipoprotein.
