US adults with metabolic syndrome, as defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria, have been shown to be at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but there is limited information in other populations. The relationship between metabolic syndrome and CKD (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60ml/min/1.73m2) was examined in a Southeast Asian cohort. This relationship was examined when the subjects (n=3195) were initially recruited in a cross-sectional analysis. The risks of developing new CKD associated with metabolic syndrome were also examined prospectively in a subgroup (n=2067) without CKD at entry after 12 years follow-up. Metabolic syndrome was defined accordi...
